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.

Quick quiz:

Tosb

Jones??

Is voting no and getting rid of them anyway not an option?
Though if getting rid of them was dependent on a yes vote,that might swing it for me.
Seen a couple of references to the ‘last’ indy ref in 1979.
There has never been an inde[y referendum in Scotland. The poll in 1979 was for devolution.
I don’t mind the political stuff on the blog. However, we should all strive to be respectful of others views.
I have come round to believing that a yes vote is the right thing to do, as without it we will remain politically impotent and live with a democratic deficit.
At the same time I distrust the SNP and do not support many of their post indy proposals. Shared currency, maintenance of the Royal family and continued membership of the EU and NATO.
Still. Vote yes and then we can get rid of Eck and Nicola and start the real changes.

Just to jump in – the initial cost of replacement is set to be around £25-30Bn with annual running costs of £2.5-2.8Bn for 30yr lifespan so around £100-110Bn total.
Can we not vote to get rid of Nicola and Eck first?

Is the most common surname Jones or Williams? Or if it’s a UKIP poll Mohammed?
Aff oot
steinreignedsupreme
Parker?
WEEMINGER
Indeed.
And with approx 8% of the population!what will our share be?
Over the ten year span before removal,it would be approx £7bn.
Still a lot,but hardly hunnersabillions.

It will take 10 years to move Trident: and during this time Scotland will spend the 100 of £billions saved on more relevant and important jobs.
Also we should be developing our west coast oil & gas fields, and our renewables industry. Don’t be so bleak as our children and their children have much to look forward to in an Independent Scotland. And its not the Bedroom tax or Food banks
……………………………..
No!

“Allen”.
No. But there’s an Allen in the same team as one of the people with the most popular name.
Sftb
Personally I’v nothing against those two.
But I have always thought there was something fishy about them.
Is it Keane?
I have stayed clear of the subject on independence because, despite the fact that I was born in Glasgow, it is a matter for people who are resident in Scotland only.
That is, until now……
I hope that the YES vote wins the day because I will then be able to ignore the speeding tickets I keep feckin getting on the M74 due South by those sleekit @*&&$£ coppers on the bridges with their TTLT detectors.

In the spirit if Sevco, can’t everyone just overlook the fact that I have cheated and let me post the winning name.
54 quiz wins and counting

Correct, although (without checking) I’m sure AS has only ever talked about diverting the £100M+/year to better things. So it’s not like he’s been talking about billions let alone 100s billions either.
hendrix67 15:00 on 1 April, 2014
“Parker”
No. But there might be a Parker in the same team as one of the guys with the most popular surname.
Srs,
Joe Allen ergo Johnston?
….or in the spirit of Sevco, I should not have admitted to cheating and I’d then be able to win fair and square
tom……
Obey the speed limits.
Simples!

Youre spot on about no votes counting for no, and that happened to me and my brother as we were in the Shetlands at the time.

“Is it Keane?”
No. It is an English name.
Trident is costing something like a thousand billion £’s

Correct. Well done. Cyber pints on the way.
cadizzy 15:04 on 1 April, 2014
Probably correct. Cyber half pint on it’s way.
The answer is 19 Johnson’s … ooh err…
Wey hey,
Last in Friday quiz to first in the Tuesday teaser.
I’d like to thank my…….
BMCW 14:00
Thanks for the kind words.
Arrasceatta’s a 19yr old who, still developing physically, quick feet who typically plays just in behind the two strikers. He was courted by Barca last summer (dunno why the deal fell thru). I’d love if we made a move for him, but feel we’re needing strengthening in other areas of the team first (eg. LB, striker, keeper – El Muralla moves on).
Me being a scout? Canny see it. Even the Girl Guide’s wouldna want me!
Johnny Doyle’s wee lassie – Great story! Well done to the bhoys and ghirls at the Huddleboard who made it happen!

It wouldn’t surprise me if it was the most common surname in the top flight in Scotland over the years too. Mind you there have been a few MacDonald’s and Ferguson’s.
Everytime someone asks sevco awkward questions the msm start shouting big fight !big fight !
Effin hilarious so it is
Rangers insist they will fight secret contract handover bid to stop deals being leaked online. Glasgow Evening Times

A bit of humour from the Times today. Not April fool.
Size Matters
The jury at the Max Clifford trial have been told off by the judge for giggling as claims were made about the size of the defendants manhood, so it was unfortunate that Clifford’s GP was named in court yesterday. The doctor who determined Clifford to be genetically goldilocksian ( not too big, not too small ) was one Dr Coxon. Let us hope there is no appearance by the Lord Chief Justice, John Thomas
