Jock Stein didn’t get it all right in Lisbon 50 years ago. He told his players Inter’s weak point was their goalkeeper, Giuliano Sarti, who passed away within the last day, aged 83. How wrong could he be? Sarti played the game of his life, resisting Celtic for an hour, and then keeping his team in the game until the end.
Inter’s famed defensive structure was unable to adapt to Celtic’s ability to create space, but a combination of Sarti and the woodwork kept the scoring down. Twice the keeper benefited from the West German officials, once when he stretched behind to claw the ball out of the net, and once when he grabbed Willie Wallace legs inside the six-yard box.
Sarti was Inter keeper throughout the Grande Inter period, when they twice won the European Cup and Serie A title. He earlier won the league with Fiorentina, as well as the Cup Winners’ Cup.
Great, though he was, he was no King Canute, and could do nothing about Big Tam’s tidal wave, which changed the course of football.

There is not enough karma in the world to give them what they deserve. I would settle for them being wiped of the face of the earth though-))

CELTIC 2016/17 ::ALL THE GOOD BITS
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N4hIMChO2O0
Possible squad movement ?
Celtic defender Saidy Janko is a target for Championship trio Sheffield Wednesday, Reading and Bristol City, according to reports Janko spent last season on loan at Barnsley and he helped them consolidate in the Championship in the first season back in the second tier of English football with a 14th spot finish.

Not the first time that’s been said to me on this blog.
Murray’s finance team said repeatedly to a golfing poster here, “…ditch Rangers as it was always going to end in tears.”
——-
I’m sure BRTH will clarify, but I read it the other way round i.e. The CQN golfer advised the Murray finance guy to ditch Rangers.
The above good advice was ignored by a CQN poster until it was too late.
Forgot all about janko
All noises about paddy coming to celtic sound good .. my only worry is i havent heard 1 other team linked with him .
Surely an england under21 who just had great season with celtic during a treble would be linked with few of the usual mid tier english teams at least.
Strange armstrong new contract not sorted sooner, been talked about months ago but nothing yet.
So lennybhoy catman or any1 else been on with some good transfer news ? Havent been on in couple months
Connaire – It was a pleasure to meet and chat albeit briefly with you in Lisbon. Mass in the Basilica was wonderful, thank you
HH
I read it as as Murray’s advisors telling him (Murray) to ditch the cream buns.
Night Bhoys and Hail Hail.
Connaire – Your homily will live long in the memories of those of us lucky enough to be at Mass in Lisbon on May 25th 2017. You did your family proud and your mother in particular, as well as all Celtic women and men. I reckon the singing of Walk On during communion was sang so softly was because we all had huge lumps in our throats; which made it all the more moving.
I’ll never forget it and God bless you for the homily from your heart.

I watched a news thing on BBC Scotland about 20 minutes ago , it was about Whyte’s discharge .
I couldnt believe they actually mentioned the financial problems MIH had under Dodgy Dave the First.
They then mentioned Whyte and while talking of his period as owner, showed on the screen the list of the creditors of what was Rangers . This , to me, implied that the debts amassed were during Whyte’s tenure which is a load of mince. No mention in the report of the wee and big tax cases also.
Once again the mainstream media make out Whyte was completely responsible for the mess at Ibrox and had nothing to do with Sir Dodgalot.
I should not let this bother me but the blatant misreporting of the whole shambles caused by Murray and his business acquaintances , is very annoying.
There is some footage on facebook from the pool party in Vegas today. Loads of hoops and tricolours on show.

IMO CW is no hero of the celtic fans .
I agree.
Craig Whyte is a low life. He is a low-mark vulture capitalist who “invests” in distressed companies, not all of which are beyond redemption, in order to strip off any assets from which profit can be turned and condemn the rest of the company and employees to the scrapheap.
We applaud him because the distressed company on which he feasted was the former Rangers but a guy like Whyte would just as easily have closed down any football club, including our own, in order to line his pockets.
Guys like him have been on the go since Reagan and Thatcher gave them the green light to “capitalism red in tooth and claw”. They raided pension schemes, employee benefits and even employees offering free labour, whilst they pretended to be saving a company whilst they stripped out all value and placed it in their own accounts.
It is a distasteful activity wherever it occurs.
And so, Craig Whyte is no hero of mine either.
I know full well that SDM’s practices and policies created the situation from which Craigy sniffed out an opportunity to profit and the Rangers fans’ subservient attituddes allowed this fraud to take place under their very noses. However, Craig Whyte’s willingness to adopt the “patsy” role has actually helped David Murray divest the blame for the situation arising and I see no signs that this false version will not persist for some time.
There may be some cards still to be played but, as it stands, Craig Whyte has walked away with a Not Guilty verdict and will need to live his life away from Scotland for quite some time.
The court transcripts have outlined the complicity of SDM in this mess but Donald Findlay chose not to press this home as his main task was just to get his client off, not to prosecute the truly guilty.
As it stands, the tune that will play out is that SDM and Rangers fans were duped and that justice was not done towards the google eyed Monaco vulture capitalist.
I can’t help feeling we are being duped too as our ice cream curdles within the jelly.
Vegas.

The Huns need a Channell for their hatred..its just the way they are wired.
Following Craigybhoy’s not guilty verdict they will soon be looking for a new hate figure. Once they start the witch hunt on Murray..he’s the sort to take a few fellow Directors with him… This gift will continue to give….
We have the White acquittal, and the Supreme Court decision on the EBTs is pending. Does anyone have any information on the status of the WiFi contractor case, the Ashley case, and the action filed by Warburton and Co? (scheduling, which court., which tribunal? etc)
Any information appreciated.

Whyte was Murray`s surrogate.
In it together from the start.
The only scenario that explains everything.
imho.
Lisbon Sclaffbaw: Last and final update:
After collection of monies and paying all outstanding’s we had a surplus of app 135 euros. This has been made up to £150 and transferred to BRTH for the Road to Lisbon fund.
Take a bow everyone who helped. This includes participants, some weird spectator dude from Canada and some guys who donated prizes who didn’t even attend the event.
This was a great wee Celtic event and the Belas Club De Campo staff also deserve a mention for allowing us to host the Spirit of 67 Lisbon sclaffbaw event at their course, and for bending the normal rigid rules of sclaffbaw etiquette and allowing me to play in a dress code that was pertinent to the day.
Thanks once again to everyone for proving once again……..
WE ARE CELTIC, and we had a great day.

Surrogates do not usually get hung out to dry by their mentors.
It seems a wee bit more messy than that.
I stand by “Patsy”, though he proved to be more slippery and less compliant with the role than SDM expected. He was “duped” by CW’s criminal ingenuity- I think he underestimated someone whom he considered a useful scapegoat idiot.
unless….
unless…
There was conspiracy involving SDM, CW and the Scottish Courts to guarantee a scot free verdict.
If CW was a surrogate- what did he actually make out of doing SDM’s dirty work?
P.S. If someone can repost my sclaffbaw update on the day shift I’d appreciate it.

Macjay, nice to see you posting, but shove yer tory propaganda up yer arse. I so glad you don’t have a vote here.

Had a good sclaffbaw round Dalmuir for my birthday yesterday. Then went up the toon for a curry and bevvy then casino till Tuesday morning. Woke up wi £300 in my wallet. Seems I did well at black jack. Stuck on 17 or more, twisted on less and never lost. :)
Murray invites Whyte to the game.
Must have laid out the plan in full from the start.
Then, with no Euro money, shit is hitting fannies all over the place.
And now, behind the scenes, they are tidying up.
Craig will have squirrelled away a few mil somewhere.
I’m not too worried about him.
Happy hoopy 50th birthday to my beautiful wee brother Pedrocaranachio67
I love you wee yin.

I saw a post online today by corsica1968 “was told today they’ve definitely lost the EBT case at the Supreme Court and HMRC will pursue the players, etc for every penny.”
Anybody know anything?
Lisboa Sclafbaw update, I’m stauning here oan the first tee waiting for the Frenchies, it’s cauld and dark and I’m freezing my sclafbaws aff….but I’m sure they’re coming.lol

A CEILER GONOF PROUD OF THE LISBON SCLABAWERS on 7TH JUNE 2017 12:37 AM
Thanks for that.
Time to put political bias to one side.
Matters are too serious for traditional Tory / Labour baiting.
Do you , in all seriousness ,think that Jeremy Corbyn and Diane Abbott , are what we need to govern U .K. right now ?
Macjay
Jeremy’s intelligence over the moronic Theresa any day. Dumb down tories.
SETTING FREE THE BEARS FOR RES. 12 & OSCAR KNOX on 7TH JUNE 2017 12:33 AM
Whyte took a gamble , or a calculated risk , which appears to have failed .
His financial input was tiny. Success would have been astronomical .
Wonder how much is in the Cayman Is.
I was sorry indeed , to hear about your recent bereavements.
DELANEYS DUNKY on 7TH JUNE 2017 2:21 AM
We`ll just have to differ there , Del.
Jeremy
Desperately short of political nous.
No street smarts.
Would you like him negotiating with Brussels for UK. ?
How would Dianne and he deal with the terrorist threat ?
Doesn`t bear thinking about.
Dalmuir was my regular Sunday morning go to mid `60s early 70`.
Had some of the biggest laughs of my life sclaffbawing there.
Macjay
Whyte was hired by Murray to absorb the shite.
Well paid set up for life job. Well done Craig Whyte. Watch yer back though. The huns are more angrier than their usual angry.
Macjay
Love that we are politically at polar opposites but love Celtic and the best kept municipal golf course in Scotland. Dalmuir Golf Course is the jewell in the West Dunbartonshire Council crown.
DELANEYS DUNKY on 7TH JUNE 2017 2:33 AM
Yep.
Murray was duped by Whyte.
Oh , really ?
Whyte is no mug either.
He knew exactly the risk he was taking with the possibility of huge financial reward .
Almost have to feel sorry for the fans . I hate the club and its ethos .
Not their decent punters . I used to know many .
They were the ones who were duped.
And so it continues.
Del
An exchange between political polar opposites sometimes makes me stop and think .
That`s the beauty.

Let’s assume Paul McBride was murdered in Pakistan and work backwards.

Pakistan. Anything goes. Including Bin Laden.

You need to take off those xenophobic koran tinted sunglasss.
Nothing to do with Bin Laden.
Everything to do with plain old Scottish treachery.
