Celtic were fantastic last night, played out our skins against a good team away in Europe and probably should have won the game. Outplayed them for the majority of the match too, Rogic exceptional again, he is utter class.
Couldn't imagine supporting any other team, atmosphere was phenominal one of the best i've experienced. Cannot beat being on a packed, boucing tram/train/bus sweating, singing, jammed in like sardines, taking over cities and stadiums across Europe. Must be shite for other clubs who don't travel Europe in numbers of 5/10/15,000 or even worse clubs who are never in Europe to experience it at all or even clubs whos fans do travel in good numbers but they have no songs and create no atmosphere - your Chelsea, Man Utd, Liverpol, Arsenal, Real Madrid and Barcelona's. 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. |

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. 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 |

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.

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. |

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

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. http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/f...raigan-9427258 |

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 |

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.

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. |

He wasn't interfering with play though.

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. |

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