  1. Mrs atfccfc got me three of Celtic's European programmes from 1966-67. What an awesome present 😍 She also got me the Vojvodina game but it's not been delivered yet!

    I'm only short of two games now of completing all of Celtic's home European games. Nantes from 66-67 and Valencia from 2019

  2. I no longer have a season ticket at Celtic park as I work the majority of weekends. But I used to have a season ticket for the North stand upper tier then moved myself to the Jock Stein upper. I usually try and get my ticket for the same stand when I do go. Again I'm missing going to games so much. Watching on TV isn't the same. It's going to be a long time before we are back in any great numbers

  3. Another vote for Naples from me. I've lived in Italy (Bologna and Milan) and loved it and Italy is a fantastic country. But the south is a lot different from the north and I found Naples to be just the most vibrant and colourful and authentic city I've visited in that country and in fact anywhere. It's big, it's dirty and it's poor. But the people are fantastic and down to earth. It's not a touristy city but it's a city worth a visit. It's also a cheap city and I found hardly anyone spoke English. So for me who wanted to learn Italian when I first moved there it was Ideal. 

    In other parts of the world I Loved Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia as well Queenstown and Auckland in New Zealand.

  4. Been to Milan a few times and it's a wonderful city with plenty to see and do.  

     

    Only been to Turin once a few years ago in January to watch Torino V Internazionale on a day trip. I got an early train and the last one back to Milan. I wish I'd given myself longer because it seemed a superb city and quite big too. Though it was absolutely freezing all day. Even colder that Gayfield park and Pittodrie on a winter's day...

    Buying old East Fife programmes. I've got a room full of them now. The only ones that come up on ebay that I haven't got these days go for £50 plus. 

    Lord only knows what my wife is going to do with 3,000 EFFC programmes when I croak. She'll get a double bedroom back I suppose. 

    I've been doing this for Celtic Programmes during Lockdown. Mainly just European home games and Cup finals. I've pretty much got all of the European home games. And only a few cup finals to go. The Lisbon season is expensive seen them on eBay for £50-100 each.. I'm summoning up the will to pay that. Most I've paid is £18 for one so far.

  6. I'm in the support the team my dad and uncles support. He's from Glasgow (my mother is Irish and I was born there) and they all support Celtic. But as I grew up an 'Army Brat' yes Celtic fans do join the army...! I have never lived in the West of Scotland. My uncles all moved away as well (one to England the other to Germany) 

    When I first started going to football I lived in England and started following and supporting my local team where I lived at the time which was Aldershot. I support both teams equally. I have been living back in Scotland since the mid 90s But never in the West.  When we moved back my parents made the decision not to move to the west of Scotland or to Northern Ireland but settle in the East of Scotland all because of the bigotry and make sure I wasn't involved in that.

    There's one on the the Meadows in central Edinburgh and a whalebone arch on top of North Berwick Law which is now made of fibreglass after it rotted away beyond repair.

    The one in the meadows isn't there anymore. Think it's been taking away for conservation. 

    The old Flodden wall that runs around Edinburgh still exists and continues under the Museum of Scotland and the architects who designed the new part of the museum incorporated a design into one of the galleries that runs along the line of the Flodden wall. 

  8. Quick Question. Are there any shops in Glasgow that sell football Programmes? New or preferably old. I know of Almondvale programmes in Edinburgh and Bathgate programmes. I know Missing under Central station did sell in store (now only online) I'm in Glasgow today (Saturday 25th) 

    Thanks

    Motherwell and Killie have sold the ticket as being for 19 games - fans will get a pro-rated discount for next season's ticket for every game that is behind closed doors. Dundee United have a similar scheme I think.

    This is what my English team Aldershot Town did. Season ticket is for 23 games and 23 games is what you'll get. Even if it's next season. Then news came out that there was possibility of letting fans in on a restricted capacity. Which will be more than enough to cover all season ticket holders and still have some capacity left over to sell tickets as first come first served online.  

  10. Though I hate it that he's taken the p**s out of my team. On another level you got to respect the fact that the more the opposition kick him. He just gets back up and takes the free kick and goes at his opponent again. He doesn't hide and won't be intimidated. 

    I remember seeing videos and interviews of players in the past that had that type of attitude.

  12. You think World War one was mental...? It was just a training ground exercise in how to kill millions more Men, Women and Children (whether military or civilian) more efficiently and remotely.
