Atletico Madrid, happy for them? Not an easy one. I remember listening to the radio commentary the night we lost to them in the European Cup semi-final of 1974. They, and Rapid Vienna a decade later, represented very unworthy competitors in European competition.
Both teams returned to Celtic Park in recent seasons. Rapid picked up pretty much where we left them, an odious lot, but Atletico and their fans didn’t seem to bother about the past, they came and left wanting to play football.
As a boy I remember chastising old soldiers who fought the Germans during the war for their persistent aversion to modern Germans and Germany. “They are a new people, nothing to do with the 30s and 40s”, I said.
It feels a bit ridiculous holding a grudge against Atletico. Their achievement last night, and this season so far, has been fantastic. Against the most powerful foes, they might just win the hardest league in the world and the Champions League. This late in the season, that is a stunning prospect to still be on the table. They should be an inspiration to us all.
I see the media is (responsibly) alerting Celtic shareholders to the threat of a share scam apparently being perpetrated against unsuspecting fans by spivs and criminals. Where were they in December 2012?

What’s the latest on Jackie Mac’s ban? Is he in or oota the dugout for the pumpfest at the Victorian lavy?
I’ve been looking on the DUFC fan site and they’re none the wiser. I’ve also had a trawl on nazimedia and they’ve found their watp mojo again after last week’s utter humiliation. They think they’re going to skud UTD tomorrow. Haw haw haw……..
The zombie memory span is only equalled by that of the goldfish and that is not an insult to goldfish btw.
Can’t wait to see this guy at Brigewater Symphony Hall,in Manchester,on Tuesday.
My oh my how we have progressed to the front of the bus,ey?

Morrissey posted a link earlier that says this result is anything but a foregone conclusion.
Personally, I reckon the hordes are very slowly waking up to Alistair.
I’ve went for UTD – 2 goals at 13/2, I was very tempted by the -3 at 15s but given the actual lineup of officialdom at the game, I think it is best to be cautious.
United will not be allowed to do what everyone expects them to, they will win the game though, despite the best efforts of the awficials.
Empty the piggy banks and rob the weans….
Get the money on the mighty Pool on Sunday..
Liverpool have 5 stars on their tops for a reason.

I hope so. Not even a deranged pair of Bigots, that masqueraded themselves as Liverpool fans, can take away my appreciation of Liverpool as a fitba Club.
These guys were very bitter Orangemen and the Republic of Ireland were doing so well in the World Cup. 1994 I just didn’t expect that in Lerwick.
I am not ashamed to say it, I felt unsafe, as did my workmate, it was out of the blue, so to speak. We went to work next morning and I had rocks in my jacket pocket.
Yes, I got Drunk and as anyone who works away from home will testify, it is the norm for the downtrodden.
You come on here been coming on for years,allsorts of topics discussed,from things that are the lowest of the low to any other high brow bollocks most of us cant understand however,zi cannot abide this hunnish distaste towards the pro independence vote,some of you make it out like its taken over the blog ehrn it has clearly not,I get sick fed up reading posts against pro independence posts,we know you dont like it but its bloody well important,if you dont like it scroll by!!
YES! Everybloody day of the week!!
Sipsini….
Bet you it wasn’t the Home Guard Shipbuilding Draftdodgers in the Govan shipyards charity?
More likely to be a ‘Charity’ closer to a balance sheet than a metal sheet.
Hail Hail
FFS sipsini, Charlie chuckle said he gave seventeen grand to a charity, why would you not believe a man with his track record for truth and sincerity?
Aye ok, they used it to pay off the referee’s to help them beat the tradesmen teams. Vagabonds and thieves doesn’t come close to describing the zombie club spivs.

Jackie has his seat in dug out pending appeal but our national broadcaster gives very cryptic headline – it’s almost as if they’re upset by it
As someone sed earlier – just so long as Sleekit isn’t banned from the dugout, united have a chance
The potential for the MIBs to get up to traditional antics is the main concern
