The Moment In Your Life When You Realised Just How Much Celtic Means To You

00/01 season

 

There have been many moments over the year but watching the pure defiance shown by the Celtic fans against Motherwell on the last day of the season was stunning. We knew we were losing the league but we were still celebrating. Absolutely amazing

 

Stopping 10 in a row, musta been 9 at the time and there's a photo of me my da his cousin n my brother and I've never seen a bigger cheeser on my face than in that picture,

the whole time I just wanted to go back to Primary school with all my mates and celebrate because since Primary 1 we had all been signing about rangers "You'll never get 5 in a row.. 6 in a row, then 7 ,8 9, so to finally sing Tell all the huns you know, that you'll never get 10 in a row and it was true was just classic haa

Last day of the 2007/08 season, supposedly it was impossible for us to win the league around February/March, then 6 points against Rangers and we're back on track. The emotion on every Celtic fans face when Big Jan scored that header against Dundee United was incredible, was amazing.

Last day of the 2008/09 season, I only kind of started supporting Celtic when I was 11/12 (first of Strachan's years 05/06), so losing the league was a strange feeling, considering we had won the previous 3. I remember the atmosphere in the ground, really strange. Rangers were 3-0 up, and we drew 0-0 against Hearts. Everyone thought Dundee United could/would do us a favour but they never did. Had a strange feeling that day, like a sense of pride, mixed with despair, because it was our league to lose at one point, we were about 8 points clear, then a bad run of results gave them the league.

 

George Cadette debut against Aberdeen. Scored the 5th and noise from crowd blew the radio transmission, brilliant. Seville was terrific and 6-2 game against the Gers.

 

For me it was the first time i seen us beat rangers. Cadete gets taken down and does about a thousand rolls but still wins us the penalty. Di canio finishes. If memory serves me right we won 2-0 that night. Just remember me and me da being chuffed as f**k.

Couldn even sleep that night i was buzzing that much and was really young!

From then on i think i spent nearly every free minute of my day doing something celtic related ha!

 

Three or four years ago I broke my jaw and my nose early in the AM on saturday after a scuffle and Celtic played In two hours (in my part of the world) so i had my friend drop me off at my uncles house to watch the game and after it i when the game was over We went to the hospital. Thats when I relized that nothing in the world will ever stop me from seeing the hoops play :icon_mrgreen:

 

There was no revolutionary moment or incident....it was an evolution, a development and the club has almost become genetic in my being. There is no day that Celtic does not enter my thoughts.

 

On my way to the semi at hampden against the huns when my car broke down at the top of the M6, didn't have breakdown cover so just pushed it off the road and stuck my thumb out! Hitched two lifts and ran about 5 miles to make the match. The Police kept ringing me telling me it was an offence to abandon my vehicle!
I just had to be at the match! I have about 5 other similar crazy stories, i'm in love

Pure * magic

Life would never be the same again.

 

My first game, when I was 5 or 6 years old. I was brought up in a gulf of stories about Celtic, so even before I had actually saw Celtic playing, I knew enough even then, to know that Celtic were the team for me.
