I spoke to a serial divorcee some years ago and he suggested that after one bad marriage, you’re more likely to plunge headfirst into another, then another, than your average person, despite all the warning signs.
He was driven by a need to put things right in his life. Regretful of lost time, he wanted to get on with finding a secure, lasting, future relationship.
Parma were a tiny club for most of their existence, occupying the fourth tier of Italian football, but they rose inextricably to become one of the top clubs in Europe. When Rangers knocked them out of the Champions League qualifiers in the 90s, they were sixth top seed in the Uefa rankings. When the money dried up and insolvency grabbed them a few years ago it must have been hard to accept their place – a club with little substance going for it, but with fans expecting glory.
News this week that after liquidation a newco Parma would kick off at the bottom tier of the professional game in Italy is a morality tale. Just as my pal, the divorcee, was compelled to plunge into a ‘lasting and successful’ relationship at the first opportunity, few people who pick up the pieces of insolvent football clubs seem to be blessed with pragmatic expectations. A second, even more damaging liquidation, haunts in the shadows.

Smashing idea.

Big French centre-back = VVD, midfield Sonnier = Jo Hansen
Germany will score
yes.
I name those players expecting to be corrected, but I think I’m right.

ye come up with some braw ideas now and again:))))))))))
anything that connects players and fans is good,
after the Sheep beat us in the cup a couple of seasons ago at the end of the game most wanted to get away Young Darnell Fisher stayed spoke and signed autographs,Bertie Auld was still standing talking honestly with fans an hour after game.
good night all and thank you for being here.

Just had a quick scroll through posts on the new article – So!
Apart from; handbags, some mincing, terrorism threats (in the ML area) and a possible use of ‘chibs’ (in a one-to-one argument)………………
have we signed anyone?????????
Canamalar
Great suggestion but on the evidence of today there is not yet the numbers attending for those suggestions. We need a proper museum. Should be next priority a museum for the club.

You could have one with British players from the different areas so you can choose the accent or select your favourite player to tell you about Celtic, you could take it too far though :)
Praecepta, in short, no.
But a player is reported to have been on a tour of Lennoxton.

Roy, thank you.
As much as I really enjoy where we are now, and long may we continue to improve, my teen years following our team, are still the ones I cherish the most.
My enjoyment and fervour for our team was enhanced from season 76/77 to the 82/83 one. This included my least favourite season, 77/78. We have had worse seasons but that one was a real low after the fantastic preceding season.
For all the guys( ahem) watching womans football, and since im a Nice Guy..@DiamondJackson.com..Go sort yourselfs out…Youre Welcome…

Canamalar: Brilliant idea!
Livibhoy,
Was thinking about it being set up for the new museum being built, I expect there would be a few visiting supporters coming over with their team for euro games too.
A wee discount for the visiting teams supporters if they can show their ticket to the game.
Even domestic visiting supporters “furry boots is the European cup” :)

What device are you trying yto view the Holding co myth on? Have you borrowed Cowiebhoy’s iPad?
Seriously the mag is getting increasing traffic and that article is particularly popular. When it’s all combined with the best ever CQN server I hope that these problems will be resolved.
James Forrest/ Lennon’s Passion – you guys would like each other’s company and I say that having met you both.

John McCluskey was my favourite Celtic reserve player in the days in the 70s when my dad took me to every Celtic game at Paradise, first team one week, reserve team the next week.
