Ohh and I'm neutral (well I support Dumbarton if that counts)... and it's the morning after and it's only a game! Ya big bluenose! ;-)

Celtic fans I know go all misty eyed over the Lisbon Lions, and they weren't even born. I don't know how good they were (I know, I know they won the European Cup, but here me out), but all we hear now is how magnificent they were, because they beat an understreangth Inter team 2-1. But I'm not belittling them. My point is that hides the weaknesses of teams, they're forgotten. glossed over. If Celtic had won last night, in five, years time, Lennon would have been remembered as one of the finest midfielders ever (if you think I'm wrong, I saw someone say that out Burns in print the other day, and he was McStay's hodcarrier). Ten years, the fact he'd have been creative, fifteen years, a lithe athletic graceful player, who could place a pass on a six pence, with a shot like a thunderbolt (copyright Bob Crampsey). And Larson apart, not one deserves that. And yes Porto playacted, but Rob Maclean and Sandy Clark are atrocious. Thomson half rugby tackled one of their players in extra-time, knocking him onto the running track. I was waiting for the red, or a second yellow card. Rob Maclean complained about playacting. Sandy Clark pointed out he did land on his head on the running track, then said he thought it should have been a drop ball. They'd be more credible if they could at least only complain about the obvious ones. Well I wanted Porto to win.

Personally 'Chrsis', I feel your sentiments, grammar, spelling perfectly elucidate the mentality of the average celtic 'fan'. While your response is as late as the average neil Lennon tackle. Bitter?

You're both wrong. The Old Firm are bad. Evil, even. Both of them. I can’t believe a year on, there is a stupid Old Firm debate going on. You’re both wrong. The Old Firm are bad. Evil, even.

Both of them.
