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.

I fear we will wait a while for our board to confront the SFA over anything DIRECTLY.
Adrian Chiles said “Man U really gave (10 man) Bayern a fright”. Man U home team and Bayern with away goal. 1-1. They must be shitting themselves eh?
FGF
Succinct and to the point
The sfa have us over a barrell, we need their permission to leave scottish football
we need to stand our corner fight them and get them out …
if it meanshaving to rremain in scotland so be it, im sick to the back teeth of being treated like crap…
get the big doc martins on and go in kicking and punching
metaphorically of course…8)
Most of you Bhoys seem to have been watching the ManU game…….I watched the Maestros of Barcelona….what a game that was

Auldheid. My question to you is will celtic and the SPFL act? Or will they wait till we await the next corrupt instalment.
I am sorry Auldheid but we should not be waiting. It’s time to bring the corrupt house of cards down.
Why should we wait??????
=====================
I reckon it has to be politics for they all know the cats are leaping out the bag at a rate of knots.
They either all act or hunker doon hoping it will all go away. It does not help that the stories are ignored by the main stream media but lets give the LNS one time to be absorbed by the SPFL clubs.
The SPL never made an official SPL statement of acceptance of LNS you know, so technically speaking they are in a position to look at what the new information tells them.
Unless Harper MacLeod can refute the points made LNS is no longer reliable, D&P should be reported to BDO and Campbell Ogilvie should be asked a series of questions.

Move along Timmy …nothing to see here
Rooney is a fantastic footballer did no more or less than cheating Germans have done for years. Tall order but with a lot of luck hopefully United make it to semis.
As for SFA what a rotten bunch. Celtic could clearly have dealt with LG quietly instead we will have a kangaroo court for a player enjoying himself with mutual friends. There didn’t seem to be anyone offended in the pub.
Still stupid but nought much to do with the SFA.
Did anyone else read the link Auldheid put up?
That linked with Res.12 is enough to blow the SFA away.

Emusanorphan,
I think the Germans will have nothing to fear but the fact they haven’t beaten English opposition in last 4 attempts at home might be a factor.
I’m sick of waiting for someone , anyone to stand up to the SFA and bring this bunch of cheating bigots to their knees.
Liverpool six games from being unbearable again 31-03-14
LIVERPOOL fans are on the brink of regaining their status as the most annoying in England.
Once the most feared topic of conversation in Europe, Liverpool have had their sense of smugness eroded for the last 24 years.
But with the team six games from league victory, Steven Gerrard said: “We have the best fans in the world for self-mythologising, so it will be great to give them something to buttonhole complete strangers about.
“If we lift the trophy, for years to come the players’ names will be constantly on the lips of irritating people who have trapped others in the corners of pubs.”
Two teams stand between Liverpool’s fans being unable to just shut up for five minutes. Favourites are Manchester City, whose own supporters are clinging to a sense of superiority over people making the arbitrary decision to support Manchester United instead.
Chelsea also want to derail Liverpool’s attempt at being beyond the pale, and feel that with John Terry and Jose Mourinho involved they are well placed to do so.
Re the SFA… where is the corporate governess of the Scottish game,there is no leadership worthy of the name and when you see the state of yon dead club and soon to be the same for their capital cousins you have to ask the question,but why are clubs silent on the incompetence of Regan,Ogilvie etc.
Surely they have a responsibility to ensure there are checks and balances to to also ensure clubs are conducting their business in the proper manner . The rest of Europe see this place as a football backwater and a joke of a league.I can’t fathom why the clubs don’t get together and force change or am I missing something.One things for sure the game is dying,tha fans know the games rigged so what’s the answer …HH
Off oot as some would say .
Read back in the morning.

@celticservant: Season book renewals through the door this morning. Increased by £50 but now includes all home cup games apart from if we draw Sevco.
Surely that is the April’s fool comment of the day! Have heard nothing from CFC today.
In the circumstances of the day that may not be an altogether bad thing.
The programme is about the Italian/Scottish photographer Oscar Mazaroli

Richie what’s the name of the programme I would like to try and find it on the internet later..
Thanks in advance..

Surely if Celtic’s statement on Leigh Griffiths is a warning or declaration that we were dealing with it internally, then they would have communicated this in the first instance to the SFA?.
Some warning shot, given the decision to go ahead with the phoney baloney
charge anyway.
I really truly despair with the decision makers at Celtic Park far too often now, as for LG if he took a fine, then he’s stupid and a typical footballer with far too much money, and no brains.
Worth a watch and listen guys…….
@billynowell: @juanbhoy @RFCSwitcheroo Here ye go Frank. https://t.co/nGxpHCMRyj Not my usual Zombie bashing.

I’m not particularly religious, but I have remembered how to pray since I have encountered our wee mhan. Surely God must be on his side. KTF
Weefra HH supporting and praying for Wee Oscar.
In addition to charges against Leigh Griffiths, the SFA have announced that charges are to be brought against the following Celtic players:
Fraser Forster…………too tall
Virgil Van Dijk………….too good
Georgios Samaras………hair too long
Scott Brown……………….hair too short
Anthony Stokes…………..too Irish
Kris Commons…………..too wee
Neil Lennon……………….too ginger
Liam Henderson………..too young
The Sfa has warned that this sort of behaviour will not be allowed to besmirch the good name of Scoddish footba’ and have appealed to Celtic’s own fans, such as those who post on CQN to do the right thing and report any other member of the playing or backroom staff
who are similarly bringing our byoootiful game into disrepute.
A spokesman added that there are no other teams involved in the investigation into these scandals.
Starry…

It’s a short documentary but excellent nonetheless
Thanks for the response Auldheid. I am trying to ignore my Instinct of bring them down when we have the chance. You are far more informed than me.
But the fact remains. They cheater.the SFA àrè corrupt.mwenneed all know it. We appear to have the evidence. The Hun are cheating again.
In my opinion I will never go back to being called paranoid. I fear celtic remain wedded to the bigot pound.
Why can’t we destroy the SFA and force this country to move on?

Hahahahaha…..that’s just how pathetic they are…….was Goram ever summoned to appear before them when he was hob-nobbing with the UVF etc

The work Auldheid has compiled in that link,as you say,
with Res 12 “should be enough to blow the SFA away”.
Agreed.
Why has not one person in the main stream media in
this country not picked up on this and even asked a question
regarding the LNS verdict or the evidence supplied ?
Self preservation ? Fear ? Vested interests ?
Who knows ?
If it smells rotten it is rotten.
So the pope is to visit belfast
Their little east belfast heads are goin explode!!

Fined for stating the obvious?
It truly would fit Celtic better IMHO to fight the bigger battles with the SFA, and fining LG
will make no difference to the kangaroo court, he’ll have to be defended in.
They pander once again to MSM.
AngelGabriel,
It is rotten, and the SMSM are as rotten as any other part of it.
I have just read celtics so called statement on the LG situation. It is beyond parody and beyond pathetic. Over the last two years we have watched as the Hun have corrupted scottish football even further than before. The best example I can give you is the so called Christmas statement by Charles green. The SFA did nothing. So we are now apologising for statements of truth.
Celtic.
Complacent
Compliant
Appeasing
Supporting corruption
Desperate for our money
And they want our season book money.
One rule for the Hun and very different rule for all the others. Supported by my team?
Shameful
