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.

We will keep getting treated like shoite until we learn to stand up for ourselves .

Yes, I saw it earlier.
A daunting piece, but I promise to read it.
The TSFM blog is always my second port of call.

I admire Leigh Griffiths for not giving up on his boyhood team. As we all know following your team is for life and I’ve had enough of badge kissing players wearing our beloved hoops , professing their undying love and then leaving for 2 bob a week more .
Leigh is fully committed to our club, plays with a hunger an energy and a desire. He wants to do his best for Celtic because that is his day job.
He is a Hibbee for life.
If he gets done by the SFA it will be just another in a long list of injustices perpetrated against our club by hurting Huns.
CELTIC need to stand up for our man.
Supporting your team is not a crime after all……. Aye right!
Just back in to say….

Adios Amigo.
Celtic say they will defend the player, with a spokesman announcing:
“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.”

Perhaps the SFA could charge Aberdeen over the behaviour of their supporters, dare I say use Rule 86…no acting in the best interest of association football…two chances….it’s a joke.
I accept the level of evidence required to secure a criminal conviction but come on, everybody and their Granny, including Owen Coyle’s that the Aberdeen supporters did not act in the best interests of association football and Aberdeen should be held responsible for the behaviour of those they sold tickets. After all our Club have been held responsible in the past.
Up the SFA…right up!
Keep the Faith!
Hail Hail!
Why should we be surprised? Only the SFA could have the gall to charge anyone with “not acting in the best interests of Association Football.”
Do they consider their actions over the past two years to have been in the best interests of football? Do not attempt to answer that Mr Reagan because we know the truth on here.
Let get out of here as soon as.
So an organisation headed by one Campbell Ogilvie has the nerve to charge someone with “not acting in the best interests of Association Football”.
On which date was this announced?
I am ashamed of LG, firstly being in a pub, secondly having friends and thirdly singing. Does he know what celtic is ? It’s not out there yet but I’ve heard from a trusted source that the authorities have identified a known associate of LG aggressively blessing himself at the time – either that or he spilt his beer. Shocking !

That is a letter I would not want dropping in my door if I was in their shoes:))
Keep fighting the fight Sir.
I have no doubt the dam will crack one day if we keep pressing, its just finding the right points to press.
More power to you and those that continue to press for justice and answers.
Missed you at CQTEN and i’m blaming yon Morrisey Fhella:))) as I would loved to have shook your hand.
Absolutely lamentable how Celtic Football Club and it’s supporters are treated in Scotland.
Celtic fined Leigh Grithiffs, that should be it, BUT!
Don’t understand why Celtic fined LG.
What has he done wrong ?

Hail hail
Sftb,
That team would do me just fine. I’d swap your reasons for playing johanson and Henderson though.
If balde and pukki don’t get more game time than tony and kc someone’s not doing their job imo.
Surprised the SFA didn’t charge Charlie Mulgrew after Costco-gate.
kevjungle
Hard to argue with that at times recently.
I’m not anti board but feel they should be doing more to defend our manager / players and supporters .

It’s logoffable.
I’m surprised Celtic are so quick with a statement on such a trivial matter.
Kangaroo courts, judicial courts, MSM courts who fail to report that Celtic
have responded.

================================================
Interesting comment regarding difficulty re level of evidence.
HOWEVER in the case you quote there are 360 seats only recently replaced,which would be very acceptable as evidence but for some reason The Board keeps this level of destruction under wraps yet takes all sorts of flak for 14 seats at Motherwell.

“Don’t understand why Celtic fined LG.

Fined him what? How much? Players are constantly being fined. It’s not always the maximum 2 weeks wages.
Maybe he shouldn’t have been in a boozer that day. Who knows? I’m certainly no gonna do the Scottish medjas work for them.
let’s hope LG doesn’t come up against an erchie jury

“I’m surprised Celtic are so quick with a statement on such a trivial matter.”
Damned if they do. Damned if they don’t.
Leigh knew the song he was singing would annoy but not intimidate or threaten the Jambos but think back to Fat Salary demanding to know the names of the people who he already knew and the abuse and threats these people got from the zombies.

Exactly,too placatory by half. See my 360 seats comment.
What are they afraid of.??
Lee was in a pub on a Sunday, singing and enjoying himself…how dare he?
This is the puritanical, hypocritical world of the SFA and it’s supposed to be Armageddon, in their eyes, for God’s sake!
I hope Celtic’s fine was the price of a pint for his awful singing:)

Leeds v us
I was there that night. What a lot of people don’t know is how the English media gave us no chance whatever and they were so patronising it was enough to make you spew.
I remember so well how Jinky played that night. Do you know that at one point in the game Terry Cooper and a few of his fellow defenders stood and applauded Jinky, during the match, unbelievable. What a night. My mate and I ended up in a working mans club full of Leeds fans and they were just so brilliant. I swapped my Celtic scarf with one guy for his Leeds scarf which I have to this day.

Would love an independent fans consortium to unite and somehow bring charges against the SFA and in particulr Ogilvie for offences against the best intrests of football.
Even just for the sake of it.
justtempertantruming:))
I just have a sneaky feeling that the Celtic Support might have a new song in their repertoire at Tannadice. Gordon J at 18.40 said it all for me. The SFA are a sad joke.

Got the bracelet just in time:)) mines just went.
The Arabs are foregoing their camels for this New Motorhome…
Especially designed for the Arab Market! And they’re buyin’em in droves at $3m a piece! The moving mansion can even clean itself.
“… The vehicle has been a hit among oil-rich Arab Sheikhs – the state-of-the-art homes even wash themselves after a day’s driving through the Middle Eastern desert,” The Daily Mail reports.
But the amazing vehicle could also cater to any multi-millionaire or global superstar on the road.
It’s available in white (shown here).
Inside, there is ample space for for lounging.
Upstairs (yes, it’s a double Decker) there’s a master bedroom, complete with windows and wall art.
It even has its own en-suite bathroom.
There’s also a cocktail lounge area for entertaining.
This is where the driver sits on the top floor.
The eleMMent can expand at the touch of a button to give riders more interior space.
And there’s a drop down staircase and pop up sky lounge at the top.
Complete with couches and a table for guests.
This is the WHITE model
The world’s most expensive mobile home has gone on sale in Dubai for £2 million, or $3.1 million at today’s conversion rates, then there’s the GOLD model!
The humongous, 40-foot-long element Palazzo from Austrian company Marchi Mobile

enough independent talk on here already…
It’s not Celtic’s statement that at fault here.
It’s the SFA.
Don’t be distracted.
The SFA are the big problem for the well-being of Scottish fitba.
