**** off Harry, its not all about the fans with money to travel. Its about us all collectively going to turin or not we are all equals.

The very fact you say otherwise makes me want to cause you great harm!

Now say sorry and lets have a hug.
 
Phew, well that's me with a justifiable interest in tonight's game.

Really hope the rest of you have bought in to the club at some point and not just carried yourselves along on the coatails of others <ok>
 
after truce and treaty at the partin of the ways, he wore it as he marched out with the rest AND THE BEST!
 
And when that awful night was oer, two men lay cold as stone, there was one from near the border and one from Garryowen
 
oh grace just hold me in your arms and let this moment linger, they'll take me out at dawn and i will die
 
just before he faced the hangman in his dreary prison cell, british soldiers tortured Barry just because he would not tell, the names of his brave comrades and other things they wished to know, turn informer or we'll kill you, Kevin Barry answered NO
 
they shot down wives and children in their own heroic way, but the black and tans like lightnin ran from the rifles of the ira
 
Oh gather round you people and the truth to you I'll tell,
Of a band of young Fenians in Dumbarton town did dwell,
They were just young lads of Fenian blood for freedom they would die,
And they stood up to those Billy Boys on the 12fth day of July.



[chorus]

So here's to those gallant lads in Dumbarton town that day,
They helped to stop the Orange walk on it's anniversary,
They showed that they did not respect King Billy or the crown,
And they showed those cowardly Billly Boys that Croppy's won't lie down.



On the 12fth day of July my boys to old Dumbarton town,
Came 50,000 Orangemen all loyal to the crown,
They marched along the high street their banners flying high,
Singing "Up to yer necks in Fenian blood, surrender or ye'll die"



But when they reached Dumbarton town they got a hell of a shock,
For standing there undaunted were the Fenians of the rock,
We chased them up the high street up toward the shipyard gate,
Like our fathers did in years gone by like the men of 98.



For they knew they were defeated and they made a hell of a noise,
Crying "Polis please protect us and guard us from the bhoys!"
For the Fenian blood had risen like apheonix from the flames,
That they made them change "My Father's Sash" to "A Nation Once Again".

[chorus]

Celtic's major doubts Georgios Samaras and Efe Ambrose will be given every chance to feature against Juventus.
Samaras is battling to recover from a hamstring injury.
Ambrose played for Nigeria in their Africa Cup of Nations final win over Burkina Faso on Sunday and will not be back in Glasgow until Tuesday morning.
And Juve midfielder Kwadwo Asamoah, who featured for Ghana at the tournament in South Africa, is unlikely to be involved in Glasgow.
The hosts are boosted by Emilio Izaguirre's recovery from a knee injury while winger James Forrest is fit again after a hamstring problem.
Celtic manager Neil Lennon: "It is as you were with Samaras, we will make a decision on him on Tuesday.
"Izaguirre trained today and has joined the squad and Forrest is fit and Ambrose, we expect to arrive on Tuesday morning.
"We will see what condition he is in and if he is OK, we will have him in the squad.
"We will give Georgios as much time as is needed. He has been doing pretty aggressive rehabilitation work and we are hopeful he will be OK.
"If not, then I have a very strong squad and we will have him fit for the second leg."
Juventus manager Antonio Conte: "If anyone has underestimated Celtic, it has certainly not been us. We have great respect for them.
"We have followed Celtic very closely and they were very strong against Spartak, Benfica and Barcelona and even before that in the qualifiers.
"They are a very good team. To beat Barcelona here and to go close in the Nou Camp is proof of that.
"We are going to have to be very careful."
