TalkCeltic - The Ultimate Celtic FC Forum

The World is in Crisis with Genocide in Gaza, wars and conflicts in Ukraine, Sudan, and Ethiopia, world leaders forming shady political pacts whilst homelessness, drug abuse, crime, racism, poverty and immigration are pressing issues that is seriously affecting society. However the most pressing point of them all was a penalty awarded at Kilmarnock on Sunday 14th September. How can we get through this year with such a travesty hanging in the air.

In nine attempts we have failed to qualify seven times with teams like Maribor, Malmö, AEK Athens, Cluj, Ferencváros, Midtjylland and Kairat Almaty putting Celtic to the sword. Teams on a miniscule budget compared to Celtic.
