It is quite incredible that the European Cup/Champions League final has not been held in Lisbon, one of Europe’s major football cities, since 25 May 1967. Lisbon is the home of one of the early giants of the tournament, and has had imposing cathedral-stadiums ever since, all but one of which was brought up to modern standards for Euro 2004.
When the Lisbon Lions return to the city of their greatest triumph, one day before its 47th anniversary, they will once more represent Celtic on the world stage, just as they did in the Lisbon sun all those years ago, and on hundreds of occasions since, when they have pitched up at supporter or media events.
This is a team of The Ages. The games’ dignitaries will pay homage to them next month, while locals of an older generation will recall their youth with a glint in their eyes. Delighted their going back, hope they bring their boots.
We’re in for a treat in the run up to this year’s final.
Well done to the Celtic fans who rallied round to buy Johnny Doyle’s 1977 Cup Final shirt for his family. Stunning work.
Is it unacceptable to say ‘Hearts are going bust’? The only disputable element of this claim is its transient nature; Hearts are already bust. I think it’s commendable that a Celtic player mixes socially and culturally with Hibs fans, who he previously performed for. Remember and acknowledge those who helped you on the way up.

“Should Celtic have fined Peter Lawell for his jibe about Deidco and should the SFA have cited him in the aftermath of it?”
If he had done so in a pub whilst under the influence there are some on here who would want him burned at the stake for it.

My point though is what really is the difference between what PL did and what LG did?
Stunningly

Is giggs playing?
Tsoal,
I had a wee Google earlier but couldn’t find much. I’m hoping he wasn’t. Gives lg and celtic a stronger case.
HT………
Aye, I feel virtually the same towards that other mob as I do towards the deid / deed klub.
I think Celtic are on a hiding-to-nothing on these things and I expect what is said privately differs slightly to what is said publicly.
Isn’t it a shame tho’ that blazers are allowed to pick and choose what they get involved in………..while doing SFA about the real issues afflicting our game?
HH.
Green was heid honcho and at a game while singing and clapping his hands to that.
Are football players not allowed to be football fans?
It’s called banter FFS.
To be fair, even the Hearts fans think this charge is a piece of nonsense.
A few years back.

Remind me what charges, that fine upstanding Scottish football manager Dick Campbell of Brechin City ,had to answer for singing The Sash in a pub a couple of years ago? All over the rags and social media……..silly me ,it was only “banter”.

I think Riordan was at Celtic at the time of his song

Yes and Man Utd are chasing ghosts in their own half. Only a matter of time.
neil mccann singing with the QC?
HT,
I hear you. Both were telling the truth. Only one was under influence. One was singing in a pub.
Both were reported to sfa. Sfa decides lg has a case.
It’s a storm in a handbag imo :)
He was fined, big deal you get fined for turning up late to training, money goes to charity at the end of season, nobody is hurt except the SFA. hertz have got more to worry about than tweety pie heid noising them up.
So Celtic fine LG and say they will defend him ? Whit….!!!
Whatever he is fined ,why don’t we chip in the same amount on CQN and donate it to Mary’s Meals in LG’s name?
Tsoal.
I wouldn’t think so.
He still has his skin;)
Diego Costa off for Athletico – should never start with a dodgy hammie – done it again so probably won’t make return leg now
excellent save from de gea
Fining LG …I really despair at times
…………I’m sure Brandy Syphon will be pouring over all the details germane to the case tho’.
Aye.

Hearts didn’t apologise when their supporters unfurled a bed sheet daubed with BIG JOCK BEA@@@D HOOPY FTP on it at Tynecastle.
There’s been no apologies for the frequent chanting from their fans in support of John Wilson, the coward who attacked NL.
The more I think about it the more I’m inclined to think that Celtic should have said nothing.
If LG breached club discipline then it should have been dealt with internally.
Thought Man U were too big a price to resist and took then in a double with Barca. But they’ve had a fair battering in the opening half hour. Still goalless though.
.
PF…………probably buttons.
I’m sure it won’t touch the sides……..
Hearts fans hate LG
He hates Hearts
So what ???!
Scared to ask but can anyone remind me how much Man Utd paid for Fellani?

19 million English pounds

Not the point

I mean absolutely no offence but that is an example of why I find it difficult to engage with you in here.
With everything that representatives of other clubs have been guilty of over the years, you choose to highlight the actions of the Celtic manager.
Why would you do that?
HT
I hear ye chum, but Celtic don’t take lessons in how to operate from those or any other mugs. They are a horrible entity tarred with all the foul qualities of their soon-to-be league mates.
Our revenge is their ‘currant’ predicament.

….PFayr supports WeeOscar
8.5 actually
It’s called rivalry,but cos the huns died and Hearts are on the bones of their ar$@ you can’t make fun of it.It’s not as if a embdae paid for a hearse to turn up at Tynecastle……

Agree so where does the defense go from here.
Depends what he is fined for?
If inappropriate for Celtic then …..
Wondering at the timing of all this between Celtic and SFA??

“Tell the corruption riddled SFA to GTF”
They are. They are defending him against the sfa.
Not many clubs speak like neds.
