ma perché non riusciamo ad essere una tifoseria che ogni tanto si ricorda che il calcio è anche uno sport?
se hai amato una bella donna non puoi, solo perché ti ha lasciato, fare finta di vederla brutta e odiarla di colpo?

---

non sarò molto imparziale, ma ti dirò per esperienza diretta che la tifoseria dei bhoys é veramente un fenomeno che sta sopra un altro pianeta.
Pensa che in occasione della finale della Coppa Uefa 03 più di 60.000 tifosi del Celtic, provenienti da tutto il mondo (fra le altre Sud Africa, Australia, Canada e Argentina....) e SENZA BIGLIETTO , sono andati a a Siviglia per sostenere la propria squadra. Unendosi in amicizia ai tifosi del Porto "hanno letteralmente trasformato la città in una grande festa e, sia sugli spalti che in giro per la città, hanno creato un'atmosfera che la gente del luogo non dimenticherà mai".... citazione dalla motivazione del Premio Uefa Fair Play che si sono meritati i
ragazzi.


quanto alla bella donna ex amata, beh a me mi é ahimé capitato di odiarla
e di brutto

Bella sta discussione.
Io tifo gli Hoops sin da quando erano i cugini sfigati dei blues: non è questione di cattolici o protestanti (anche perché il sottoscritto non è molto credente), ma per me gli Hoops rappresentano appieno l’Irlanda… dai colori della maglia fino al simbolo della squadra. Inoltre una tifoseria stupenda, passionale che non si abbandona a gesti di razzismo… e poi sono tutti matti (nel senso buono): alcuni li ho conosciuti ai Mondiali antirazzisti di Montecchio…

ecco qualche celtic jokes
ora che mi avete stuzzicato ...

1. If the Glasgow Rangers ever win the Coronation Cup - they will be the 2nd Scottish club ever to do so.
2. If they ever beat their deadliest rivals 7-1 in a major domestic cup final - they will be the 2nd Scottish club ever to do so.
3. If they ever reach the European Cup Semi-Final 4 times - they will be the 2nd Scottish club ever to do so.
4. If they ever win every competition they enter in one season - they will be the 2nd Scottish club ever to do so.
5. If they ever reach the European Cup Final - - they will be the 2nd Scottish club ever to do so.
6. If they ever reach the European Cup Final with eleven home bred Scots - they will be the 2nd Scottish club ever to do so.
7. If they ever reach the European Cup Final twice - they will be the 2nd Scottish club ever to do so.
8. If they ever WIN the European Cup - they will be the 2nd Scottish club ever to do so.
9. Having won 9-in-a-row - it must be a great feeling to know that for the NINTH TIME IN A ROW - you are
And always will be
2nd

A primary teacher explains to her class that she is a Rangers fan. She asks her students to raise their hands if they, too, are Rangers fans. Everyone in the class raises their hand except one little girl. The teacher looks at the girl with surprise and says, "Mary, why didn't you raise your hand?"
"Because I'm not a Rangers fan," she replied.
The teacher, still shocked, asked, "Well, if you are not a Rangers fan, then who are you a fan of?"
"I am a Celtic fan, and proud of it," Mary replied.
The teacher could not believe her ears.
"Mary, why, pray tell, are you a Celtic fan?"
"Because my mum is a Celtic fan, and my dad is a Celtic fan, so I'm a Celtic fan too!"
"Well," said the teacher in an obviously annoyed tone, "that is no reason for you to be a Celtic fan. You don't have to be just like your parents all of the time. What if your mum was a prostitute and your dad was a drug addict, what would you be then?"
"Then," Mary smiled, "Then I'd be a Rangers fan."

A man goes to Glasgow airport and eventually goes into the departure lounge to wait for the call for his flight home. The place is a mess. All around him are overturned tables, smashed windows, upturned chairs, broken flight monitors and crowd control barriers littering the floor. "Christ, what happened here?" he asks one of the ground crew.
"Oh," he replies. "Bloody hopeless it was, we had the Rangers squad in here this morning filming the new Nike ad!

non avevo letto esto thread per qualche giorno. curioso. se guardiamo la data del mio ultimo post, capiamo come, qualche ora dopo, un imbecille totale colpiva (centinaia di altri imbecilli avevano mira molto più approssimativa) un incapace altrettanto totale (il lasciar correre va bene, l'incoerenza nelle decisioni e i cartellini schizoidi un po' meno).
mi viene un'enorme tristezza, oltre la rabbia che avevo mercoledì scorso mentre aspettavo sugli spalti dell'olimpico che qualcuno prendesse una decisione, quando penso che una mentalità del genere (quella dei celtic fans) a roma non la avremo mai, o mai più. sento i racconti di gente di 60 anni che andava allo stadio romanisti e laziali insieme a vedere giocare grandi giocatori per il puro gisto di guradare una bella partita di pallone.
io sono nato in un'era in cui giocatori come platini, maradona, zidane, venivano fischiati solo perché avevano un colore di maglia differente a quello stabilito dal bignami del buon ultrà.
certe volte vorrei stare a dublino, tifare shels, guardare le partite a distanze meno abissali di quelle che ti dà la pista d'atletica e andare a bere al big tree su dorset street una bella pinta di guinnes extra cool.

O'Neill hails young duo


CHAMPIONS LEAGUE GROUP F
AC Milan v Celtic
Date: Weds, 29 September
Venue: San Siro Stadium, Milan
Kick off: 1945 BST
Celtic manager Martin O'Neill believes Ross Wallace and Aiden McGeady could be on the verge of great things.

The duo are likely to be on the bench for Celtic's Champions League tie with AC Milan on Wednesday but O'Neill is not ruling out a role for them.

"They are very fine players. They have got a great chance and I would not have any qualms about throwing them in against anybody," said O'Neill.

"Their confidence and ability has improved from when I first came."


The young duo have had to wait patiently for their chances this season but both played starring roles in Celtic's 8-1 CIS Insurance Cup win over Falkirk.

They again caught the eye after coming on in Saturday's Bank of Scotland Premier League victory over Dunfermline.

Wallace hit a hat-trick and McGeady also found the net in midweek - and O'Neill expects their progress to continue.

Celtic will hope to take at least a point from the San Siro to keep alive their hopes of progressing from Champions League Group F.

COME ON CELTIC!

alla fine ho trovato il ticket ed ero là in mezzo ai 10.000 bhoys insieme a 2 addetti alle centrali nucleari di Glasgow (!)
delirio puro come al solito e pinte a go go
ecco un resoconto da un sito di cyber fan
 
Two goals by AC Milan in the final two minutes left Celtic without a point in Champions League Group F.
Andriy Shevchenko pounced on a Kaka through ball to drive home from just inside the box after only eight minutes on the striker's 28th birthday.
Celtic improved after the break and got their reward when Stan Varga headed in Stilian Petrov's corner.
But substitute Filippo Inzaghi forced home a Shevchenko cross and an Andrea Pirlo free-kick deflected into the net.
Giuseppe Pancaro, Jon Dahl Tomasson and Andrea Pirlo had come into the Milan line-up instead of Kakha Kaladze, Massimo Ambrosini and Hernan Crespo.
Chris Sutton and Didier Agathe won their fitness battle to start for Celtic, with Juninho and Momo Sylla dropping to the bench.
Joos Valgaeren, filling in at left back for the injured Jackie McNamara, lost control on the edge of his own box in the opening seconds and Marshall had to tip round the post at full stretch.
The breakthrough was not delayed for long, Kaka sending Shevchenko clear in the box and the Ukraine striker hammered the ball through the arms of the advancing Marshall.
Celtic crept into the game and Shevchenko cleared a Petrov free-kick clear with Varga ready to pounce and the Slovak defender headed the resulting corner a couple of feet over the bar.
Henri Camara lashed the ball well over from just inside the box after a clever knock-down by John Hartson.
A low drive from Shevchenko was destined for the Celtic net until Bobo Balde scrambled the ball clear.
Marshall also blocked a powerful effort from Kaka after Balde had lost possession to Shevchenko.
But Celtic looked more attack-minded after the break and Dida did well to hold a low drive from Camara.
The Scottish champions lost Alan Thompson to a hamstring injury after 58 minutes and he was replaced in midfield with Juninho.
Celtic continued to press and Dida completely missed a through ball from Hartson, but Sutton was not able to capitalise before the ball was cleared.
Another low Camara drive was smothered by the goalkeeper before Celtic eventually got the equaliser.
Varga rose above Shevchenko to head home a Petrov corner from 12 yards.
It looked like Celtic would collect their first-ever away point in the Champions League.
But Shevchenko broke clear and his low cross into the six-yard box was forced home by Inzaghi and Pirlo's free-kick deceived Marshall after striking the head of Neil Lennon.

When the Celts Came To Toronto

Down to the Skydome
In the heart of Toronto
The Toronto Tims, they made their way,
From the tunes of Mad Paddy
We boarded our bus
Down to face Roma and Totti.

The Bhoys on the bus
Sang loud, every old verse
With songs of Celtic & Ireland,
And Toronto stood by
Hearing our Irish battlecrys
And witnessed a Celtic invasion.

Paddy Meechan stood holding
His flag from Seville
From Calgary, Jim McWilliams made the trip,
My sister brought my nephew
To see Celtic for the first time
And he wore with pride his new Celtic strip.

The sun it shone bright
On our hoops of green & white
As the faithful sang as they walked along Front Street,
Into the Lone Star we stumbled
And drank a few Molson bottles
Were a few Roma fans we did meet.

Onto a specially laid pitch
With Coors Light on their strip
The Celts were welcomed by the faithful,
A crowd of 50,000 strong
Sang familiar Celtic songs,
Like a chorus with voices of angels.

A memorable game
It was not meant to be
As Roma won on a goal scored by Totti,
But the Canadian Tims
Applauded the bhoys in green
As we headed back to Scarborough for a bevvy.

So Toronto had witnessed
The famous Glasgow Celtic
And the exiles proudly wearing their green,
And we woke up on Sunday
Our heads still in a daze
Wrapped in the colours of God’s favourite team.

Q: What's the difference between Rangers and a three pin plug?
A: No Difference.. They are both absolutely useless in Europe



Q: What is the difference between a battery and a Hun?
A: A battery has a positive side.



Q: What do you say to a Rangers supporter with a good looking Woman on his arm?
A: Nice tattoo


A Celtic supporter, a Rangers supporter and a Hearts supporter get marooned on an island run by cannibals. They are soon captured and have to pass a life or death test. The chief cannibal say's to them, go into the jungle and find 10 pieces of fruit and bring them back to me, that is the first part of your test. Off the 3 go into the forest. First back is the Hearts supporter with 10 apples. The chief say's, stuff those 10 apples up your bum without flinching or crying out and you can go free. Sweating slightly the Hearts supporters start's, 1 apple, 2,3,4 ARGHHHHHHHHHHHH.......... Swish, off went his head. Next comes out the Celtic supporter with 10 cherries, same rule applies to him. 1 cherry,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 hahahahahahaha he burst's out laughing........SWISH off went his head. Both the Hearts fan and the Celtic fan are sitting up in heaven looking down. The Hearts fan say's, why did you start laughing, you nearly got away with it? The Celtic fan said, I saw the Rangers fan coming out the woods with 10 pineapples!!

la giovane speranza del calcio celtico il 18 enne Mc Geady, ha deciso di giocare per la nazionale irlandese invece che indossare la casacca con il cardo .....
Neil Lennon ha difeso la sua scelta


McGeady, 18, recently opted to play for the Republic of Ireland instead of Scotland, the country of his birth.

"That was entirely his prerogative, and it would be a shame if people made him a target because of it," Lennon told Celtic View.

"He has chosen to play for Ireland and people should respect that."

Celtic complete Bellamy loan deal

Newcastle striker Craig Bellamy has joined Scottish giants Celtic on loan until the end of the season.

The Welshman, who fell out with Magpies manager Graeme Souness over his exclusion for a game against Arsenal, rejected a proposed move to Birmingham.

And although Celtic could not match Birmingham's £6m offer for the player, Newcastle agreed to a loan deal.

Bellamy, 25, will now link up with Wales international team-mate John Hartson in a revamped Celtic attack.

Way to go! Questa è un'eccellente notizia, Craig è attaccante di ottima caratura... un ulteriore salto di qualità per l'attacco dei bhoys! Forse qualcuno gia sa che non ho proprio la squadra del cuore in territorio nostrano... ma il Celtic è il Celtic!

Consiglio per gli acquisti(oddio preferirei che se lo aggiudicasse la mia Roma, cmq):

Il talento in questione ha la veneranda età di 9 anni, bisogna far presto...
