    Thought I might as well start a football topic for those of us who enjoy the beautiful game. And Sunderland supporters :p.

    Celtic played Aberdeen in the semi final of the cup yesterday. The last league game between the two ended up in a 2-2 draw but things turned out a bit different in this match. Celtic ran out 6-0 winners!

    Here are the goal highlights from a very unique viewpoint....


    Next up is a Champions League home tie on Tuesday night against RB Leipzig.

    Would that Unique Viewpoint/Angle happen to be from a Celtic one, Al??!!!
    As you know, we're both Sunderland fans and the Lads did well to get a draw away from home last weekend thanks to a very key player being sent off and the Black Cats having to play with 10 men 2nd half. QPR, thankfully, weren't strong enough to overcome the diminished strength in the team as red carded Jobe plays like 2 players! Man Utd couldn't beat Chelski either - even at home and at full strength. A lot of work ahead for the new man coming in.
    As for your other team, Al, Pompey - Hull City fans were furious that the Tiggers failed to beat the league's bottom team and vented their anger on the Hull boss and players at f/t in their 1-1 draw at the KCOM. Rumours are that the guy is finished unless results pick up immediately so your lads may well have placed a curse on the Jerry and his toothless Tiggers!
    PS Good luck The Bhoys vs Leipzig - German teams are well known for being difficult to beat and when they turn on the style, god help our lads!

    I keep a close eye on the Sunderland score as well now Andy, your lads are doing well.
    Pompey not so good in general, I expected more from them this season.

    Tomorrow night against RB could go either way but at least it is at Celtic Park.

    I'll leave you two to it...

    When the men's game went from being a proper blokes game, to a set of over paid ponces falling over at the slightest tackle, I gave up.

    Nice vid, Al. Am enjoying "browsing" so far but just check out some of them there "Larndarn" prices - did I see one sale for £350!!! Hellfire, I've just bought x2 retro Sunderland shirts (for £10/£15) and a brand new 3rd choice long sleeve shirt for our Bev for chrimbo for £70 - and I thought that was splashing the cash!! Which shirt(s) do you seek/worship/cherish etc and from which era?
    A mate of mine from Norwich SENT ME FOC a Man Utd 1977 FA Cup winning red home shirt t'other week - what a pal Mark is!!

    Nice one Andy. Where did you get the Sunderland retro shirts for such good prices or was it EBay finds?

    Not so much retro shirts but I do like the Celtic Origins top and Norwich from 2022.
    Celtic for obvious reasons and Norwich because it is sponsored by Lotus Cars :)
