Think you may be confusing me with someone who gives a f**k.

I was driving back from a weekend in Liverpool that day, game was played around lunchtime on the Sunday I seem to recall, had the radio on in the car and the absolute fucking meltdowns and collective heads gone from the BBC Five Live team was truly something to behold.

Happy to throw in Bernabei as well.

Investment to make them the 3rd biggest club in Scottish football and challenge for the title you say? When do the 87 players come in on loan from Kaunas then?

Pittodrie will clearly not be like our visit in the basking sunshine in August so will be wrapped up like a murdered hitch hiker dumped in a rolled up carpet down a motorway embankment by a lorry driver. Aberdeen boss Barry Robson is increasingly coming under pressure from the fans after some pretty terrible league results and performances this season, bizarrely enough they were only a dubious injury time penalty away from doing the double over the ****, that and the run to the league cup final and a respectable European campaign have just about kept him in the hot seat. Normally a match against Celtic is the last thing he would want especially given their dismal record against us in recent years but, to say we have been inconsistent this season is putting it mildly, a few excellent performances mixed in with some pretty average and pretty dismal fair have been the story of our season. This will go one of two ways, either an absolutely honking performance like last week against Ross County giving Aberdeen at least a point or we will trounce them by three or four.... which Celtic will turn up? Not even attempting to predict this one

Even the 1986 squad, if you look at the players who DIDN'T make it was pretty special and under achieved, although we were in a group of death with Ze Germans, Denmark and Uruguay.. Among those who didn't travel to Mexico were, Mo Johnston, Brian McClair, Ally McCoist, Alan Hansen, Ray Stewart, Pat Nevin, John Robertson (Hearts version) Andy Gray and Eric Black.... all top players in top form at the time. I'm still raging at Steve Nicol's silly fucking side foot effort to miss that absolute fucking sitter in the last game against Uruguay who played 89 minutes with ten men and arguably could have had another four or five red cards, promping Ernie Walker to call them 'the scum of World football' .... an incredibly blunt and controversial statement for the head of a national association to make about another country and, one which would doubtful be tolerated today, even though it was 100% correct. I often wonder if the referee didn't send off any of the other Uruguay players for their animal like behaviour because he may have thought he was a bit hasty with that first minute red card.

Marco Van Basten and Ruud Gullit being interviewed after scoring the goals in The Netherlands 2-0 win over the USSR in the final of Euro 88, poignantly and ironically played in the same stadium, the Olympistsdion in Munich where the Dutch had lost the 1974 World Cup final to hosts West Germany. Beyond mental that this is the only major international honour for a country synonymous with producing incredible players and coaches.

31 year old George Best making his final international appearance for Northern Ireland against The Netherlands in 1977, a 1-0 defeat at Windsor Park

Steve Archibald from that squad also won the 1984 UEFA Cup with Tottenham as did Alan Brazil who won it as well with Ipswich Town in, I think 81 ?

Brazil and Argentina drew 0-0 in this second group phase match in 1978 meaning, it came down to who scored the biggest win against Peru for a place in the final, the host nation having the benefit of playing last knowing how many goals they needed, nearly 50 years on there are still accusations of skullduggery and bribes as Argentina rattled six without reply against the Peruvians who it has been opined were less than 'up for it' .

Contrasting emotions for the goalkeepers, Taffarel and Pagliuca at the end of the 1994 World Cup final penalty shoot out where Brazil edged out Italy .

1966 Scottish Cup final replay, won by a solitary goal by Rangers Danish full back Kai Johansen. The King's Park/Celtic end terrace in the background was, at that time the largest 'end terrace' in the world.

Scotland line up in Israel on a friendly on this day in 1986, judging by the background it's clear the fixture has failed to capture the imagination of the locals. Eamonn Bannon scored the only goal of the game.

Scotland going down 4-1 to Brazil in 1982 at Malaga in the World Cup.

I have zero sympathy for any Tory in any scenario, however unfortunate or tragic the circumstances because each and every one of them are utter fucking scumbags.

No Hard Feelings. Jennifer Lawrence is actually a pretty decent comedy actress, first time I've really noticed her in this type of role and she pulls it off quite well. Some of the jokes are a bit forced and predictable but some of the one liners and ad libs from the supporting cast are decent in fairness. Also J-Law is insanely smoking hot throughout, the phrase 'Till it fell off' springs to mind.

Had Five Live on the radio in the car there when I popped out for something to eat, West Brom fan phoned in, that baldy guy covered in blood was a sole Wolves fan in the WBA end who went fucking mental when they scored, giving it the GIRFUY to the home fans when they scored, can't decide if he's a legend or a fucking maniac

Often overlooked that Mo Johnston missed a sitter.... or was it a wonder save from Tafarel in injury time that would have got us a point which would have qualified us for the knock out stage, as another post mentioned I distinctly remember Uruguay scoring a goal about half an hour into fucking stoppage to beat South Korea in another group which edged them past us as one of the best 3rd place sides, I believe 4 out of 6 third place finishes went through.... we were ranked 5th I believe thanks to that fucking Uruguay goal !

Just got a chippy for my tea, living the glamorous life and that... Anyhow, guy at the counter was bagging up a Deliveroo order of three fish suppers, two sausage suppers a steak pie supper and a single pizza crunch, he promptly wrapped and bagged the lot up, handing it to the delivery guy giving him the receipt with the address etc....... without putting a single bit of salt and vinegar, any sauce or condiment at all on it....which clearly they would have requested, nobody gets all that from a chip shop with f**k all on it, lazy ignorant p***k, I'd have hit the roof if that had been sent to my house like that after spending the best part of fifty fucking quid !

I think they will.

Middlesbrough first half performance

Sorry about that m8. Thinking of you.

Can only speak for myself but, I'm a regular user of twitter and most of the Celtic fans I follow are reasonably objective and interesting, however Celtic fan forums have, in my experience been taken over by absolute fucking space cadets, haven't posted or been on one in at least five years. I much prefer the mixed range of opinions and supporters on here, most of them are pretty fair minded, one or two muppets but give me the balance and deprecating humour of this place every day of the week over the likes of Kerrydake Street which is fucking cringeworthy at times.

To be fair you keep the post count up on Celtic match threads.

Think the OP is jumping the gun with the Date and kick off time as the TV picks haven't been announced yet although that's one of the four slots it could be in, given Viaplay have that slot and the Sunday one (BBC have Friday night and Saturday lunchtime) and get first pick they almost certainly pick this and the Rangers game as they will always pick both us and them purely for ratings number regardless of how attractive a tie it might be. There is certainly a chance St Mirren could win this albeit we will be heavy favourites so understandable this being a TV pick but, like our match with Buckie in the last round who really wants to watch what will be an obvious routine walkover win for Rangers against Ayr United bar your average Paris Bun? Anyway moot point but I'm hoping we get the Sunday slot as it's my stepson's 30th birthday party in Glasgow that Saturday night.... if we are in the Saturday teatime fixture any Saints fans on here give me a lift into the town afterwards?
