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.

Respectfully, you’ve missed my entire point, though I consider that that may have been deliberate.
The move was an SNP gimic which failed to address the real issue of social deprivation, however, it grabbed the headlines so wee Fatty will be happy eh :-)
Ps it’s laughable that you should refer to me as a Unionist as many on here would testify.
Pps you don’t know how I’m voting.
Definitely the last word from me Billy.

Haw,that’s naughty,bud. I’ll have you know there’s plenty of people look forward to that twice a year feeling.
Admittedly,they all live down here!
You shooor ye don’t fancy coming down here,we could eff off to Bath regularly.
They let you take your bike on the train and everything.

Hope you enjoyed your well earned rest my friend.
Good morning CQN
just completed SFA survey put diabolical refereeing down as reason for crowd problems, thought it was better than honest mistakes, as they would think they got away with them, move along timmy will still always happen as long as present incumbents are still in power.

I don’t know for sure how much or how little poverty there is in the Scandinavian countries but I would suspect a great deal less than here.
BillyBhoy – the problem with your post wasn’t that accused somebody of being a Unionist. It’s that you equate that with being a Right Wing Warmonger and partaking of the race to cut benefits.
While I do question how some can ally themselves with people that hold the above views. I do still know one or two No voters that are at the very least left of centre and neither support the military action Britain has been involved with of late, nor agree with the way benefits are being cut.
This kind of broad brush stroke generalisation doesn’t encourage people to listen to your points – many of which I agree with.
I usually find that if I address people the way I expect to be address I get less aggression aimed at me.
Bicep jeez the thought of you and med effing off for a bath just put me off my lunch :))

Last word on this one. Semantics again from yourself as you very well know in common usage that Unionist means voting for a British government.
Anyway, have a nice day

you answered it for me a clean joke at last !!!!..
Doc and 67Heaven it is Celtics role to challenge the football authorities when there is not a demonstrable level playing field. Celtic are a member of the football authorities and have a duty to act against corruption to keep the game honest in scotland.
In my opinion they are failing in that duty.
Have the Nats kidnapped Ernie Lynch?

Keep posting. Your posts give a welcome alternative to those posts which tell us that Irish/Catholics/Celtic men will be treated like dirt should a yes vote occur.
The Union bhoys will be telling us next that mandatory(not a subliminal sign of support for Cameron’s crew) ogling of a kilted Jeanette Krankie will replace the watching of Celtic players in paradise if Big Eck takes power.
Being on the same side of one debate as the Tory party does not make you a supporter of the Tory government or its many other policies.
Does being a Yes supporter also mean you also support every policy of the Scottish Republican Socialist Party, the Green Party and whatever Tommy Sheridan’s one man band is called this week?
Sftb,
Lol. Nope. Twas from oor bobby.
Mighty Tim,
I believe bobby is a single lad and after reading his saucy invite to moonbeams I quite believe he might be known as the bicep :-)

How exactly do Celtic do that, genuine question

I’m guessing I am to be one of the Unionist B’s
Afternoon Timland from a wet, but warm hun free mountain valley.
So Barca get a two window transfer ban, it may well backfire on the rest me thinks, it will save them millions, and they will introduce a few more kids.
And by the time the ban is up, VvD will have matured into a 50 mill CB, and Barca will be desperate to get him >}

It was capitalised for a reason,ya sods!
Anyway,seriously,Bath is a smashing place for a dayoooooot.
Very cosmopolitan,full of students,ridiculously welcoming of Scottish-or otherwise-halfwits.
Even FFM had a great time. And he had me for company!

I think you would be better served by reflection on the feedback.
You do not have to fight all the battles today.
Bobby,
I’ve heard that about Bath.
Tet,
Couldn’t agree more ;)
