The Offical Glasgow Celtic thread

[lynchbhoy]

Bobo's really starting to piss me off, £27,500 a week isn't enough for him now! - think Wolves will tell him to fcuk right off after that last rejection! 

apparantly its only 3 - 4 grand a week less than he is on, plus he will get first team football.

he is holding out for a big payoff from lawell,the remainder of his years wages. Dont think he will get that from lawell, although they could meet halfway- which is prob what bobo is after.
terrible way for his Celtic career to end, although he has been shabbily treated now.
Rem the furore over his transfer in ! !(because toulouse went bankrupt - and MON didnt have to pay the 2million he had agreed and got him free !)

Think of the players Bobo's and Gravesen's weekly salaries could finance.

I know, but you dont want to run away too much with this years title!


Great to hear you had a good day at the flag unfurling!
Even better again that it was Mrs. Burns that was asked to do so. Very appropriate and decent gesture.

give me a shout next time you or GDA are heading over...am overdue a trip there for a game.

Will do! Really enjoyed it, after being pissed off (in every respect) at Croker on Saturday! Tony Roper (remember Rab C Nesbitt's sidekick) even said hello to me as I walked across the Carpark at the front of the stadium before the game, he has wriiten a play about Celtic in Seville and was on the pitch at half time talking about it. Also as I was in need of cheering up after Saturday, so I treated myself to a Lisbon Lions Limited edition watch (inscribed on the back) which was reduced from £100 to £50 in the Superstore!

The 12.30 games on Sunday are ideal for easyjet flights from Belfast, booked the flight early for £50. Trouble is you can't always be sure that they wont change the date/time. They are playing Aberdeen at the end of September which is fixed for Saturday 27th,looks tasty. Will check the Setanta schedule, that way you can be sure that the date/time is fixed

I generally fly to edinburgh - easier to get flight (and cheaper) and its a 45 min train journey - much the same as the prestwick to glasgow train ride after the dublin to prestwick with ryanair.
I also look at the setanta schedule so you will be fairly sure that th gmae is fixed. Games have been fairly stationary in the past two years, prior to that they werre changed around a lot.

We will definitely head over before Xmas. I would also love to go to a Champions League game. Was lucky enough to be at Parkhead for the Juventus and Man Utd games in recent years and the atmosphere on occasions like these is simply unrivalled in any sporting arena anywhere

[Gaoth Dobhair Abu]

Will do Lynchbhoy.
Tone the only CL match I got to last year was the Barca match, fantastic night, shame about the 2nd half!! 

[T Fearon]

Who would you like them to get this year? Wouldn't mind Liverpool myself

[Gaoth Dobhair Abu]

We are almost guarenteed an english team, and we'll get one of the big two from Italy or Spain, gonna be another group of death, think we ended up in pot 3 or 4 because of the co-efficient!

[slow corner back]

Surely the coefficient is going the right way, scots teams in last 16 for last three years plus huns in uefa final and dons kept going until after xmas last year?

[illdecide]

The away matches are class in the champions league, a few years ago i went to the San Siro and Barcelona in the same season (just hope we don't get such a cruel draw like that again) def the places to go with the mates...i've a couple of stag doo's coming up that will wreck the chances of a game in europe this year...

[T Fearon]

Er, the only away European Cup game I've been at involving Celtic was against Dundalk...and Bobby Lennox and Danny Mc Grain were playing!

not sure think the ratings take a good few years to get over 4 or 5 yrs?
what pot we in anyway, don't have time to check.

i was at the san siro feb 07. was an unreal 3 days. craic was unbelievable. result wasnt greatest but everyone was happy enough to take the eventual winners to ET. looking forward to alot more home games this yr 2.

Still in Pot 3.  Would need 7 or 8 "seeded" teams not to come through the qualifiers to make it into Pot 2.  Seville will no longer count towards the seeding.
