Away from negativity as that's all that seems to be about just now I was just wondering if any other supporters on the forum maybe followed another club away from Celtic. Obviously Celtic being my one and only but I have actually followed Atalanta since 2001 and have been to Bergamo 14 times to see them.
I used to watch Italian football back in the day when it was on channel 4 and since then couldn't help following Atalanta since. I'm also going to include a video of the intro to Gazetta Football Italia from channel 4 that I'm sure some of the older guys on here will definitely remember haha!
Hope everyone is doing well and staying safe, HH.

Atalanta are an exciting team to watch.
Italian football was famous for defending and securing 1-0 victories.
But the defending went out of the window for a few months,
When the pass back rule was introduced round about 1990.
It was good watching games finishing 4-2 and 4-3 on a Sunday whilst it lasted.

Michael
I can also remember when the pass back rule was introduced,
The first time we played Rangers and everyone was expecting a classic with loads of goals,
Yes you’ve guessed it, a boring goalless draw at Celtic Park.

Hey Michael, God that brings back memories - James Richardson presented the programme and had hair back then!
Some of the teams and players around that time were fantastic even apart from Milan and Juve.
Agree with UI, Fiorentina were class - big Battigoal banging them in from all angles.
