Encouraged by blonde222 posting Aston Villa's demolition of Newcastle, and with apologies to pshtaku, here's a link to Celtic's game with Aberdeen at the weekend...

5 breakaway goals, all of which were offside and the referee was blind...

McGeady played a blinder though, didn't he?

I've been gone a long time remember....do Lennox, Murdoch, Simpson, Hughes and McNeill still play for the hoops?

You forgot Johnstone - some of the tricks I saw there reminded me of him.

you think that was bad - wait until the Dons play Bayern Munich on Thursday...

I've got the offer of a ticket too!

You should definitely go! I'm sure Bayern will suffer the backlash.

That last win at Pittodrie over Bayern in the quarter finals produced the greatest atmosphere I have ever experienced at a fitba match and that includes that soaking wet night in Gothenburg and the win over Real Madrid.

I sat in the King Street End with my (then) brother-in-law and the place was simply electric! I know that is a much over used description but I can't think of a better way to describe it. I still shiver at the thought of that night.

For the last 20 minutes in particular every hair on my body was standing on end as my beloved Dons stuck it to the Germans and you could see the confidence grow and almost visibly see and feel that confidence turn to arrogance. I would swear that I could see those Scottish chests puffing out as the Dandies simply outplayed Bayern who ended up looking both dejected and bewiidered as this Scottish provincial team comprehensively dismantled them!

Ach you can't beat a good piece of reminiscence ....unfortunately this is 2007 and alas wee Jimmy Calderwood is just a numpty so reality sucks! :-(

At least you have a recent (!) European trophy win to look back on - if only the Glasgow teams could say the same :)
