Neymar and his PSG buddies were saying exactly the same thing :whistle:.


They didn't come on bikes .

Old enough to know better, too old to care!
Never cycled to Celtic Park (for my last year or so at Uni I lived within walking distance) but I did ride to Hampden a couple of times. Dumped the bike in a quiet corner at the Victoria Infirmary. Great fun bombing home past lines of stationary traffic!

Dark and a bit wet, busy roads as well , but made it from my house to Celtic Park in 37 minutes last night. It's not fast in terms of MPH , but it's about 20 minutes at least quicker than going by car.
Home before any of the neighbours who went by car as well.

Still not bothered to do this at City, the queue to get in takes longer than the travel there, can't be bothered. My season ticket has not been taken out of the box it was delivered in yet. I think I'm done with football. :sad:

A rather more eventful journey to Celtic Park than usual last night.

London Rd from the city centre up to the ground was gridlocked.
After a few minutes and a hop on the pavement I found the reason.
A big group of the visiting Anderlecht fans , who were causing no problems were being escorted by a huge number of police , who for whatever reason decided they needed to stop the traffic.

Not only that but they were using the separate cycle path for their vans. As I got up behind one , the driver decided to start reversing.
Very loud ( sweary) shout from me and it stopped.
After that I carried on along the cycle lane dinging my bell all the way and shouting cycle path to get the police on foot to move off the path .

Arrived on time. Game was crap , got home safely.

Can say that again
The run home through the city centre was rather enjoyable, considering it's December.

Posted this on my ride today but thought it worth another mention.

The guy on the left is doing a charity ride to every Celtic away league game this season.
Big challenge doing it right through the winter , and the complications caused by TV schedules.
But he's on track .
He is on Twitter .

I'm only in for Firhill and Ibrox.
He reckons it will be around 1,200 miles , but due to the league split he can't be sure.
His main worry was probably Ross County making the top 6, but that's not happening.
