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.

Fellaini is £28 mil well spent
Welbeck?
Give me Leigh.
£28 mill, £28 mill….do I hear 29…29?…
Who is the girl playing for Man Yoo? Mary Anne? Looks like Peter Sutcliffe. Good prospect.
Bankiebhoy
Current???
That’ll be out RAISIN d’être :-)
Bada…………
………now don’t you go giving Leigh any ideas!
( can you imagine the dog-biting, cat kicking furore that would cause!?)

SOAL
Brilliant.

Your experience of neds must be different from mine if neds you know use the term GTF
In any event ….can you advise me why you take every opportunity to have a cross word with me
I don’t recall ever providing you with any reason
Have to say the playing surface at OT looks excellent!
As far as I’m concerned our board are doing some job at chasing punters away from Celtic Park. As someone said earlier, we would never be the punch bag under Kelly, Stein or McCann. And to think of Green and McCoist freely mouthing off at clubs and SFA alike, goading them into a battle. Makes me sick.
Tom Boyd and to a lesser extent Sutton and Hartson have been the only Celtic men brave enough to call it. Too many have taken the soup.
I hope Lawwell has a long term agenda here, possibly knowing that Cheating Club are goosed for the foreseeable future and absolutely no threat whatsoever.
If not, we’re being dragged up the back of the bus again.

………..Aye, no-one can accuse me of………sour grapes……..

Bada,
He’s been murder for man Utd eh?
Cracking player for Everton but just not the same with Utd.
Here is the Celtic statement, read the last line, it’s the telling one for me…..
THE SFA today served a notice of complaint on Leigh Griffiths, alleging a breach of disciplinary rule 86 – not acting in the best interests of Association Football by singing in public about Heart of Midlothian FC in administration.
Following the incident, the player publicly apologised for his actions. Celtic have fined the player and the Club has also apologised to Hearts, an apology which they have accepted.
Therefore, the Club feels there is no need for any further action, and this is something which we will defend.
No need for further action, and this is something which we will defend.
I read that as a back off SFA shot across the bows of the SFA.
Preemptive action in house by the club to stave of, what would be, punitive action from the SFA.
Couldnae lace Wanyama’s boots.
Wellbeck shoulda buried that.
Doc
Not acting in the best interests of the of the Association
what ??…. By telling the truth
Hearts are going burst ….in administration some might contend they’re burst already

When does LG’s trial start?
The day after the meeting to decide on the punishment.
Pfayr,
Are you saying neds don’t say GTF? As in get to fk?
Anyways….I take every chance to have a cross word? Seriously? Can you point to the last time please?
Cheers.
Bada bing
There was a thread on the Manc site saying just that and bemoaning the additional £16m spent
Paying 28 million quid for Belgian Fellatio was pure desperation
“this is something which we will defend”
Translation:
“Do you feel lucky punk?”
Celtic play Dirty Harry…good and about time IMO.
Fairly predictable in Camp Nou. Barca on top after first 10 and Athletico kicking lumps out of them.Just the 3 yellows so far. Pity ‘cos they can play a bit and have had a few chances. If Barca keep a clean sheet I fancy them in the second leg.
Similar for Man U, but less agricultural challenges. Bayern on top but no finish yet. Dawyne Dibley (lol SOAL) should have scored, but it’s all about taking them at this level.
I wonder how much the fine was? I’m thinking it’ll have been nominal. Probably a box of jam tarts for the tea room.
Geordie
I don’t come on to CQN to indulge is such petty nonsense
Constructed squabbles don’t interest me
Utd v Bayern so far is like us v Barca.
Hoopy,
Nearly choked on my roll there!
pfayr-Deadline Day panic buy,they offered much less for him and Baines combined.
Fellaini?!
Ffs!
27.5 million?!
What does he do exactly?
HH!!
Googybhoy
Exactly
Man U have fallen so far …..should they make the CL …they’d be a great pot 1 team to get
Off oot Bhoys
Hail hail
Just googled Duane Dibbley.VG :))
Anyway what about those three crackers we bought and canny get a game

Cracking post and confirms what I’ve claimed from the very beginning. Debate and information can cause change.
Pfayr….
If you disagree with my opinions in your head it doesn’t really count as me always looking to have a cross word.
I’m leaving it there.

I suppose it’s all relative
