The Offical Glasgow Celtic thread

[Milltown Row2]

Yeah most UTD men that I would know have it in for Celtic, but that was a cracking result last night and some effort put in for the whole match. The stats showed that Barca had 89 percent of the ball and still lost, unreal!!

An amazing stat - but only one yellow card for celtic is really amazing too.

In work this morning, it seems that the only ones not happy for Celtic are the Liverpool supporters. Everyone else (including 'the other side') are delighted for them.

"Celtic fans think they're the best in the world now"
"We'll see who goes further, Celtic or Barcelona"

What do Liverpool fans have against Celtic?

I am surprised at this. I thought there was a bond between the two sets of fans after Hillsborough.

When Liverpool and their fans were at their lowest ebb in the aftermath of Hillsborough they were shown a solidarity from rival clubs and fans which still resonates to this very day. Along with Everton, Celtic came to the fore and the relationship which was forged in those dark days was so powerful that it is still in place today.

There is a good relationship between Liverpool and Celtic, just as there is between United and Celtic. I don't think Liverpool fans would have it 'in' for Celtic really. Celtic robbed YNWA, and Liverpool robbed the Fields of Anfield Road back

Maybe it's just good old fashioned jealousy, I know I was jealous of them last night. I wouldn't be a great lover of Celtic, but that was an inspiring performance last night, and I was delighted for them and their fans.

last night was just unbelievable, i dont think i will ever witness or experience anything like that again. the only thing that ever topped that was Down winning the AI and my brothers winning an intermediate champioship.

I see a poll has been added. Did GDA drop in quietly or is he known by another name?

Yeah but I would imagine that the others felt more real.  You know friends and neighbours achieving great feats in a mans games as opposed to overpaid mercenaries falling about fronting a PLC.  Ive yet to see anyone "yahooing" Googles success or feel close to joyous tears when Diageo posts a record year.  But listen if Celtic is your PLC of choice why not go all out?  Id even put a poster on my wall.

I'm not sure Liverpool fans have anything against Celtic.
I personally don't care about them but I don't hate them or anything.To me they are just another British club the same as Arsenal,Chelsea or Spurs etc etc.
I watched the game and hoped Celtic would hold on and win because they were the underdog rather than because it was Celtic.
I'd be the same if it was Chelsea or Arsenal I'd have been hoping they would hold on but if they had of been beaten 5-0 I couldn't have cared less.

Maybe Liverpool fans are more use to actual big nights like Champions League semi finals and Finals and are wondering what all the fuss is about over a group game.

LOL. I would say most Liverpool fans would give their right arm to be involved in CL group games at this stage.

Latest stats have the possession at 9%. Expected to drop further.

Spanish papers are quoting that Celtic's victory was by the inferior side, with an impregnable wall and for Guinness.

The Guinness bit raised the hairs on the back of my neck until I reread further and it was in relation to the fact that they believe a team which has had so much of the ball has never lost before and thus a Guinness book of records entry;  chelsea vs Barca?
