The Offical Glasgow Celtic thread

[pintsofguinness]

McCoist the cheeky chappie darling of tv shows is pure media  fabrication. A bitter wee fcuker behind it all

What evidence is there for that?

[ross4life]

Liverpool FC

There is overwhelming evidence that Liverpool Football Club supporters were the first to sing "You'll Never Walk Alone" en masse. The song was famously covered by Liverpool group Gerry and the Pacemakers in 1963.At this time, supporters standing on the Spion Kop terrace at Anfield began singing popular chart songs of the day. Their "inventive ferocity" was captured on camera by BBC Panorama in 1964.One year later, when Liverpool met Leeds United in the F.A. Cup Final, the travelling Kop sang the same song and match commentator Kenneth Wolstenholme commended the "Liverpool signature tune." Liverpudlians have been singing "You'll Never Walk Alone" since 1963. Fully 46 years.
It was later sung by many different supporters throughout England, most often during important cup matches. For a time, it was almost considered a National Standard.



Celtic

Celtic sang it on two or three occasions during the 1970s, along with Aberdeen and Hibernian, though it was only popularised and formally adopted by the Parkhead faithful in the mid- to late-1980s. Liverpool were invited to play a charity game at Celtic Park following the Hillsborough disaster in 1989 (which, incidentally, they won, by four goals to nil). Both sets of fans sang it together as a symbol of unity and support. Only in the years to follow, as both clubs repeatedly came together in a series of friendly fixtures, did Celtic begin to sing it on a regular basis, otherwise they have no legitimate claim to the song, nor is there any earlier evidence seriously linking them to it. Liverpool can produce an abundance of written material and video evidence. Celtic not so much.

So you have a dislike for Celtic because they sing a silly song that Liverpool first sang?

A 'silly' song?

Anyhow, no big deal. They stole YNWA, LFC stole the Fields of Anfield Road. Fair exchange is no robbery.

He's a clown. Some of the crap he comes out with is unbelievable. I'm sure playing the match behind closed doors every time would be a massive boost for the Scottish economy though.

Yeah cause the police work for free at the old firm games outta the godness of their hearts

[andoireabu]

Wouldn't be surprised if Lennon was given the biggest punishment from tonights game despite those disgraceful Huns tactics, discipline and McCoist trying to get into Celtics technical area in first half

No need for it all to be blown out of proportion - 2 managers squaring up, it happens lot in the drab English game, why not in the heat of an old firm battle 

Almost as if Diouf was trying to start trouble at the end there

Raners tactics of every man behind the ball and their constant fouling made for little football

anyway, a wins a win

no need for it unless Atilla and his boys packed the defense as well

You really are a bit simple aren't you.

If you think i'm simple then you must have intellectual disability?

Neil Lennon said so

[Orangemac]

There's something about Lennon that drives Rangers supporters/Loyalists to behave like demented monkeys ( well really demented monkeys). It can't just be that he's from Armagh.

Al that's needed is for Rangers to appoint Andy Goram as Rangers next assistant manager for things to really kick off.

sure isnt durrant already there, just as bad as Goram

Not to bum up Celtic fans, or to put Rangers down. I travell over about 6 times a year during the football season and the Celtic fans are the most well behaved of the two. A far amount of the Rangers fans come back on the boat pissed. The Celtic fans seem to bring a lot of their kids with them.

[Gaoth Dobhair Abu]

Getting the boat over tomorow morning for the weekend and the Hamilton match, can't wait, just hope the atmosphere's even half as good as 2 weeks ago and it'll be a cracking weekend.
Lenny got ban reduced from 6 to 4  will miss the league cup final against the orcs.

Oiche maith and Hail hail

Bought by Liverpool for a reputed £10m -  that's £3.3m per goal or one goal per season  -  sold on for £3m

point being?

again i will ask,point being???

if it's about expensives flops do you really want to go down that road?
Rafael Scheidt (Celtic, £4.8m) 1 game

If so, then it's a fair observation to add that 'The Fields of Anfield Road' is the most awful tripe. If it qualified as a cover version, it would be regarded worse than the  cover version of 'Fairytale Of New York', an exercise in musical vandalism by Ronan Keating and Moya Brennan.

Whereas, YNWA at Celtic Park is truly an enhanced experience and that's not due to the sudden increase levels of exhaled alcohol fumes floating around the stadium.

No wonder, that Scheidt was signed by Liverpool legends, Barnes and Dalglish.

I write what I am inclined to write on the Celtic thread, with due respect to the Celtic minded contributors here.
You go and find somewhere else to do your spitting.
