[edit] Alfredo DiStefano Trophy

What is it exactly?

I'm not sure about referencing this as a Trophy in comparision with legitimate competitions. If a reference could be found describing why Celtic won it and what it actually is I'd be happy to leave it up.Neiljbradley 11:02, 13 April 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Near Quadruples

I helped write part of the original but in hindsight I don't think it's really needed. Yes a near quadruple is impressive. But the three teams who could be listed are all ready listed for their near trebles. After all, their near trebles were a lot more interesting. ManU won the Treble but missed the quad when they lost in the League Cup quarter-finals. Chelsea won the Cup and League Cup but missed the league by a good 8 points and only made it to the Champions League Semi-finals. And Bayern Munich actually came the closest; they won the Bundesliga and the second cup in Germany, but lost in the finals of both the German Cup and the Champions League. Anyway, my point is that in this case, I don't think we should list the near quadruples. But before I delete, I wanted to get some feedback. Anyone? Nygoodliving 02:48, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] International Quadruple

If you want it in the article, please justify it being in there. Quad means 4 and the article is talking about winning trophies, the Copa America is one trophy, however often you win it. Kie (talk) 12:45, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Porto "Quadruple"

I've removed the following text

Porto FC also won the quadruple in the 2003/2004 season winning:

Firstly porto did not win the 2004 Portuguese cup. Secondly the SuperCup Cândido de Oliveira is the equivalent of the community shield. Now admittedly Portugal doesn't have a second cup competition therefore making a quadruple like celtic's impossible but nevertheless I don't think the text should remain.
