The Offical Glasgow Celtic thread

[Itchy]

Second grade team playing their best against first tier playing shite. First tier will win cos they have a bit if class. Lustig, Emilio just not good enough. Samaras slowing the game up the whole time, he is a passenger half the time.

Thankfully someone got a picture of the AC Milan fans in action. They are also supposedly singing Loyalist Songs.

You've a lot to be worried about.

Merely highlighting the stupidity of the AC fans and their waving of a sectarian flag. I wouldn't normally be such a massive Celtic fan but tonight I hope they thrash Milan.

How do you know it's not some fella from Belfast over in Italy on holidays and decided to go to the game?
Sure Neil Lennon is from Northern Ireland maybe they are waving it in support for him. 
Anywhoo Celtic lost so all's well that ends well.

Didn't some ukranian fans wave a tricolour when Rangers played there in the Champions League 5 or 6 years ago! Football fans the world over know how to wind the opposition up!

[Capt Pat]

Celtic were unlucky, no room for any more slip ups.

[Applesisapples]

Saddens me to say it but they are just not good enough. Figt out with Ajax for 3rd. Stokes though did not look out of place and could have done with help. Samaras is a lazy bollocks, he can play but only when in the mood.

Wanyama, the big loss this year, and not replaced.

Balls Tony...the only loss last night was someone couldn't stick the ball in the net. Milan got two lucky goals in the last 7 mins or so and up until that Celtic looked the more likely to win the game, it was a poor game quality wise from both sides but they got the luck on the night and there's nothing you can do about that.

If Wanyama had been there he would possibly have converted one of the chances and prevented both AC Milan goals. He was instrumental in the defeat of Barca last year.

It looked all over a drawn game, but that's how the dice rolls sometimes and there's not much to do about it.

Wanyama provided quality leadership in midfield, and weighed in with important goals as well. He would have made a real difference at both ends last night.

Henrik Larsson in his Celtic prime would undoubtably have made a difference last night, but like Wanyama he's no longer a Celtic player.

Any decent players will always be sold on and unlikely to be replaced at Celtic.

[T Fearon]

Yes but Wanyama's absence means that it's a significantly weaker team than last year's.Wanyama could have been retained too,he didn't want to go to Southampton.Celtic will not continuously qualify and progress in the Champions League unless they reverse the policy of selling their best players to any club that waves a big cheque,especially when such players cannot be readily replaced.

Reality means players like Wanyama and Hooper want to move on. Playing  in the group stages of the CL isn't enough to keep them on board. Even if Celtic offered the same wages, those players would still want to move to a more competitive and glamourous league.
The problem lies with replacing them in two weeks and the impossibility of achieving a seamless transition to building up a new team.

It's hard to credit though, considering the exposure that Wanyama got displaying his undoubted quality in the CL, that a top 6 epl side didn't take the plunge. But who knows, maybe Southampton will finish in the top 6 because they signed him.

I hope you appreciated Ambrose's CL performance Tony?
