McCourt normally plays on the wing.

Any of you watch the Daily Huddle on Celtic TV. Tosh McKinley was raving about him the other night. Saying hes coming good and showing well in training and just feels a run in the team.

Yeah - thats his usual position.
Was wondering if celtic had been using him more central, but seems it was just Worthington deciding to keep someone in the centre.

Back over for the St Mirren game on Feb 28th? Does anyone else on this thread actually go and support the team apart from me?

Normally go to the away games. Sister lives in Edinburgh so attend those games when I can. Havent been to Parkhead this season yet. Suppose if we could all get the amount of free trips you get we could afford it :-)

Probably will attend CIS cup final too. Just awaiting confirmation of my ticket. If anyone has any spare give me a shout.

Could we not form a supporters club, Like the "Paddy Mc Court GAA Discussion Board Celtic Supporters Club" or soemthing?

I was also meant to be heading over for that game too, but now cant due to other committments!

havnt got over/up this season yet either what with moving to london and various things, was meant to head to the villareal game but the rest pulled out so it appears i am not as much a supporter as i though, hail tony

also not sure if you have noticed but not everyone on the board feels the need to gloat every time the take a piss

Are most of you in Celtic Supporters clubs? How much does it cost you for each trip? Travel and ticket?

just book aer lingus or ryanair to glasgow/prestwick or edinburgh (usually cheapest deals - then get the train over less than an hour and much the same as prestwick).

Used to have a season ticket (ten years) until a couple of years ago, going over three or four times a year didnt really justify having the ticket.
However I had bequeathed it to a supporters club and some Glasgow friends, so now if I need a ticket they always get me one.

couldnt be ersed going over on the boat. Swore I'd never travel by ferry again the last time I came home on one on liverpool - Dub route.

some lads love the supporters clubs and the craic.

T Fearon · February 12, 2009, 04:00:46 PM

Not boasting or taking the piss or knocking anyone. But I'm getting over and back for this game by air (as I did for the Jan games V Hibs and Dundee Utd) for less than £40, and I'll be home in this house at 9pm eating my tea

Say what you want about Mick O'Leary but thats hard to beat

Muzz · February 12, 2009, 04:35:18 PM

Na i know all that Lynchboy but just wondering how most do it now.

Since moving to Belfast I left my supporters club (couldnt attend the weekly meetings) We got over for £25 that included boat, travel to the game and match ticket. Pretty reasonable compared to other clubs. Just was an early start and late finish. Leaving the town about 6 for the 8:20 HSS...game out for 5ish, boat about 8 ish, home bout 11.

Werent worth tuppings.

For the away games now I go over on the Friday night, head out for a few on the Friday up to the game on Sat and stay in city for the night. Makes more of a trip of it and allows you to enjoy the win :-) (sometimes :-P)

I cant go and stay over because of an incident in 1998.
Wife not happy and its more hassle than its worth doing so.

Almost wish I had got up to what she reckons I did !
Same 'penalty' either way.

Tried to go to Inverness game in December, but flight was delayed by 9 hours due to fog and Edinburg flight was booked up as a result and I missed the match. Was at OT for the 3-0 loss to Man Ure, so Sunday will be my 2nd game this season. Was at nearly all CL home games for a few years when I was a student and usually about 3 league games a season as well.
