One massive difference. Those teams you mention all have a chance of winning.
Celtic fans mostly know they are just fodder for the big teams so they need to make it as fun as possible. You hardly get any fun watching away games in terms of the football and result.

Possibly, there is also a chance that those clubs fans are heavily watered down by tourists and fair weather fans who come and go depending on what world class player is playing there.

Then the fact they're just not as good. Does any English team for example have bands/singers who tour and play their clubs songs or perform gigs for fans when they travel Europe?

Celtic have many: Glasnevin, Shebeen, Charlie and the Bhoys, The Amadans, the Irish Brigade, Gary Og, Gerry Og, Fianna, An Spiorad, The Wakes, The Wolfe Tones...

Most English teams have less songs than Celtic have performers of their songs haha

Classy.
A 10th charge from UEFA in 5 years now for crowd disturbances.
Coins, fighting & spitting on City fans, singing pro-IRA songs in a City bombed by them.
Setting off a smoke bomb on a crowded tram.
Piece-de-resistence was the greasy hamburger (bought fae Joe's Costco hot dog van) thrown at a police horse
Classy.

The likes of Chelsea and Citeh aren't really big clubs. They are only where they are because of foreign investment. With that comes all the gloryhunters, football tourists and corporate brigade. People who don't really care about the club at all and who add absolutely nothing to the atmosphere at a match.

Just noticed that out of Celtic's 13 League games, 8 have been away and only 5 at home. Away again tomorrow as well. That'll leave us with 14 home games out of our last 24 games, quite an easy run to come yet we are already miles clear at the top.

Hapoel Beer Sheva a "pub team" according to supporters of the Tribute Act qualified for the last 32 of the Europa League(a place they will never see for a long long time to come - if ever), finishing above Southampton and Inter Milan.

Celtic 5-2 Hapoel
Inter Milan 0-2 Hapoel
Olympiakos 0-0 Hapoel
Southampton 1-1 Hapoel

They did the same with Braga the season they put us out of the CL qualifiers.

That season Braga beat Sevilla, Arsenal at home in the CL, Liverpool and Benfica before getting beat by Porto in the final.

Makes you think what they must class worse teams like Sevco, Aberdeen, Hearts and the rest. If decent European teams are pubs teams then the rest of Scotland must be 1 legged alkie paralympic style pub teams.

Comfortable win, Refs/linesmen need to get their fingers out though. Thats our last two League games Motherwell and Partick have had offside goals against us, also one of Motherwells other goals was a clear foul on Lustig. 3 goals against us that shouldnt have counted in 2 games.

Bizarre stuff considering you couldnt see any contact on any angle of the replays.

Bit of a ding dong between 2 of the pundits - hardly a surprise Sutton was involved!

He often sounds like he wants an argument and very hard nosed - not afraid to share his displeasure at another view.

As much as they make for some decent telly I'm starting to think that these are at least a little bit engineered.

A bit like when Sutton was on Radio Clyde, the difference there being that Johnstone didn't have the ability to defend himself.

Ah well, The Rangers win and Aberdeen bottle it again.

That Jamie Walker booking today was a woeful decision. https://www.youtube.com/embed/mIzrltaLHV4?html5=1&fs=1

Never mind that, after Hearts scored there goal, the lineman started tae run back 2 the halfway line , 12 seconds later he puts his flag up for offside !

Not seen video of that yet but in the picture I saw the Hearts player looks well onside.

It was offside because a Hearts player went off the pitch and came back on and so was correctly deemed to be offside. Also a Hearts player should have been sent off for kicking McKay when they were on the ground. But referees make mistakes like anyone else.

He wasn't interfering with play though.

Never saw the kick on McKay so can't comment on that, likewise I hear that Garner was his normal self fouling players but can't comment on that either as I didn't see it.

Eh?. It WAS the goalscorer that stepped off and then back on. Cowie.

And whilst I agree the Walker booking was silly, the lad has a habit. Esp vs both our clubs. You pay the price of your reputation. So no sympathy.

As to McKay, the Hearts ***** booted him in the face, right in front of me. I sit in the EE.

Garner?. Two immense games this month at home. Well deserved the standing ovation on Saturday. Yes, he does goes down too often and I don't like it. But he also takes a lot of lumps. And isn't scared to get stuck in and rattle CH's as they try to rattle him. And his heading ability in the last two games has been superb. He has outjumped the Dons and Jambos defence for fun.

3 points out of 18.
1 point out of 9 at home.
16 goals conceded.
Biggest defeat in Celtic's European history.
Two home defeats.
GD of -11.
The 2nd worst amount of goals conceded.
27th best team in the CL out of 32.

Let me get this straight.......you are proud of this?.

You are allowed to go off and on the pitch, stop clutching at straws. Clearly onside, Celtic 2 offside goals against us in our last 2 games. Sevco 1 onside goal given offside against them.

Honest mistakes in full swing.

Barcelona and Man City are good sides, we let ourselves down at home to Borussia Monchengladbach. We were never going to qualify for last 16.

We were excellent against Man City.

3 points is better then expected.

You didn't expect Celtic to qualify for last 16?
