The Offical Glasgow Celtic thread

[north_antrim_hound]

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"?

I think most linfield fans  prefer  a Sauvignon blanc or a nice rose
It's a big shock that buckfast was being consumed due to it's association with white trash and wasters

Don't disrespect the average Linfield fan; you know they do be always in the Cosy Bar sipping delicately at chilled Moët et Chandon elegantly presented in Swarovski crystal glasses at all pre-match meetings.

I suppose Buckfast would regard the association with the discerning Linfield supporter as more of a positive than say with  that rabble associated with Tyrone and Armagh?

The question I want to ask is do the Linfield supporters partaking of Buckfast know it's made by taigs?

Also saw a banner there yesterday "County Donegal Rangers Supporters Club" Wonder are they regular attendees at Linfield games?

[yellowcard]

Well it is the current tribal division that has produced the sectarianism I witnessed yesterday,so the status quo is not the answer.

Does your distinct NI culture include some of the bonfires, flag burning, effigy burning, marching and bottle throwing that we seen in the last week?

[Orior]

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

[reddgnhand]

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.

Sure it was -2 for even money on Friday as well ... look how that turned out!

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

[Walter Cronc]

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