The Offical Glasgow Celtic thread

[Orior]

When will we hear about UEFA's punishment for Linfield?

Sadly little has changed in Windsor Park.I was there in 1979 when Gerrry Daly was split by a bottle thrown by the natives.Yesterday,I was in the North Stand,among Linfield fans,in the only section open to me to buy a ticket.The rabid Anti Catholic sectarianism and racism was rife from first minute to last.Before the game started,an acquaintance of mine,a professional man along with his two grown up sons took their seats a few rows down from me in the same section.It got so bad,they asked the stewards to escort them out early,and were showered with sectarian abuse as they left.

Did you really think it would be any different?
And also did they not set aside one of the stands for celtic fans who had gotten tickets

He was in the section set aside for Spurs fans.

Celtic will be anxious to get the job done as quietly as possible. No Yellows/Reds, no injuries and no sanctions from Uefa! This is a sort of nightmare tie from a Public Relations perspective for Celtic.  I can see Celtic being happy with two to three nil and playing out the game. For Linfield there is nothing to lose. And they will do what they feel like!

I always thought that would be the ploy in Belfast,a routine win by a couple of goals,not antagonise the natives too much and get the hell out of Dodge.But Linfield are so poor,and a few Celtic players took a few hefty challenges,and with the bottle throwing etc,they will be well motivated to push on and score a few goals,in front of a full house (Linfield are bound to be overawed) who will not countenance any slacking.I will be genuinely surprised if Celtic don't score a minimum of 6 goals.

They are a pro team playing a glorified pub team .

No doubt the away supporters bogs will get special attention

What kinda numbers are Linfield taking to parkhead? Can we expect a visual welcome from the green brigade?

UEFA decided that being from Belfast with those supporters was sufficient punishment. Loyal Orange Lodge.

As I understand it there are 1500 hundred Linfield fans travelling,and they are being accompanied on the entire journey (coaches and boat) by club and eventsec stewards.

I hope they are not subjected to sectarian abuse,it is important that we do not stoop to their level and allow the media to portray the line one's as bad as the other.Let's do the talking on the pitch with a goal avalanche.

Griffiths and Celtic charged by UEFA!!

Griffiths doesn't seem like the sharpest tool in the box, what did he think would happen when he tied the scarf to the goalpost? Has he done it at Ibrox?!!

Eejit!

Yet to many calling out shitty Linfield fans he's a legend for doing it. Doesn't make sense to me.

Whatever happened to staying classy

Why is there such a deliberate naming of the missile as a "buckfast bottle"?
Is it not enough to say "a bottle was thrown at a celtic player"?

Is there something sinister, more lethal in that it was not just a bottle, but 'twas "a buckfast bottle"?

Ok a glass bottle
