Bayern elite up next

301

Bayern Munich sit six points clear at the top of the Bundesliga having lost only one game from 19 this season (at Mainz).  As a guide, they sit 22 points head of Borussia Dortmund.

They are in the Champions League playoffs because of a bizarre result in Rotterdam.  They had 80% possession against Feyenoord and missed all of their 30 shots on goal.  Feyenoord scored with each of their three attempts.

The German side are smarting after they failed to win 12 domestic titles in a row last term.  They are one of the strongest clubs in world football and will inevitably progress beyond Celtic.

None of that matters.  Celtic still have lots to gain and learn from this tie.  There will hopefully be challenges later this year in the Champions League against teams of this calibre, let’s arrive at them with a honed plan.  We play Bayern free from the stress of expectation.  Let’s enjoy the occasion.

    Paul, only eleven men against eleven men, do not write us off, so many others have and ended up with egg on their faces. We hadn’t a chance in 67 I was told at the time.

     

     

    *the Big Mhan played it down all the time saying we were just happy to be there, the first british club to appear in the final and that’s the way I saw it, then the day of the final as us who were around at the time know it was the Feast of Corpus Christi which in the olden days was a Holiday of Obligation, so that morning my da woke me early doors saying “lets go to chapel son down at St Martins in the Renton, 7:00 Mass and then win lose or draw we wont have to go the night”

     

     

    He was working in the local estate which the pedestrian access was by a bridge over the River leven in close proximity to Renton Station, I was working with the nations largest construction company in nearby Alexandria, a short distance away in the opposite direction.

     

     

    As we walked down the avenue from chapel some of his workmates accompanied us and to this day I still remember this big guy saying “I think we are going to win this”, we were all a bit stunned as we had never heard anyone say this, wtf this was Inter Milan for heaven’s sake, when challenged why he said “the big mhan’s a fox, he has them all convinced that we were just as I said above happy to be there”, so as we parted, them to walk along the main street and me along the towpath on the aforementioned River Leven to the job site.

     

     

    I have zero recollection of that day other than waiting for the bus at around 4:40 for home as its all a bit of a blur but very little was said about the game, again just happy to be there, so no pressure whatsoever.

    What a great pity that on the day we draw Bayern Munich in the knockout stages of the Champions League we find ourselves discussing idiots.

     

     

    Every club has them, some more than others.

     

     

    Even if our share was only 1%, a ticket allocation of 1000 would probably see 10 idiots get one. As we saw from Wednesday night, it takes only one.

     

     

    No idea how you stop it.

  6. Ps The corporate fan who threw the flare should have their membership rescinded.the lower tier at Villa park was given to our £2kto5k mob,just a wee note to those gunning for other Celtic fans.

    Not come from a corporate box from what I have just been sent. Image now widely available online and definitely from among the core Celtic fan area

     

    ========================

     

     

    Hi Kelvinboy,

     

    With respect good Celt i said above it came from the lower tier of seats at Villa park,these were given out to our corporate ticketholders,it was not thrown from a box as you rightly point out.i hope they get the idiot who threw this on and chase down with the same gusto if it were someone from GB or Bhoys who were in the upper tier,above the corp boxes.

     

    Anyways Bayern to play and i hope you are stll walking

     

     

    Hail Hail

  7. I hope Bayern miss their 30 shots against us

     

     

    Da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da-da

     

    Da-da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da-da-da-da

     

    Da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da-da

     

    Da-da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da-da-da-da

    yes but were all the tickets in that area used by those corporate fans or did the corporate fan get the ticket from celtic but gave it to someone in their family or something like that because they had no intention of going?

     

     

    i suspect thats how a lot of folk get their tickets for away games – via someone they know who has a corporate season ticket.

     

     

    ========

     

    From what i believe LADTH,with demand so high the lower tier at Villa Park was all corporate,as were the boxes above them.

     

    The top tier house the GP,Bhoys,fans &M.Fagan:-)))but no pyro.

     

    It should be able to pinpoint the thrower and their route to a ticket from there using technology.and ban accordingly

  10. As per usual great few hours with the Shipwreckers

     

     

    Big Jimmy … 3 out of 5 on my Algerian fitba coupon, as ma wee maw used to say “Gerard you’d bet on two flies running up a wall” little dud she know these days it can be two Algerian flies I could bet on :-)

     

     

    Great day lads

     

     

    Hail Hail

     

     

    Bayern Who ….

  11. Kelvinbhoy & An Tearmann

     

     

    I’m with you both on this.

     

     

    If it had been a 16 year old GB kid we might have a dawn raid.

     

     

    Let’s see how this is handled.

  12. I assume we will be banned. But we are not being banned because of this idiot. We are being banned because of our record. He is merely the single incontinent useful idiot. The “displays” and arrogance of others have brought us to this point. They thought they were in control. It turns out they’re not. So, by all means round on this clown; but don’t forget the real culprits.

  13. there’s hope for youse yet

     

     

    In the dancin’ he met Hairy Mary

     

    Oh oh, the floo’er o’ the Gorbals

     

    Ah haw, glory hallelujah …

    Exactly.

  15. Prestonpans bhoys on

    picinisco/MadraRua

     

     

    Yes and no, we are at this point because of previous behaviour however a line was drawn by Uefa and we were put on probation.

     

     

    That clown ignored the warning and his attitude is the same as the previous culprits, couldn’t give a flying fook……

  16. Rejoice Celtic fans

     

     

    Yes, the media and those out with our community (and some inside) do all they can to emphasise the shortcomings we have, as they have always done

     

     

    And will keep doing as long as we live, especially whilst we are so dominant

     

     

    And dominant we are

     

     

    Take a breath and tune them out

     

     

    They don’t matter (as it doesn’t matter what we do, how we behave – they will find a reason….)

     

     

    We are having a fucking brilliant season

     

     

    – Domestically

     

    – In Europe

     

    – Financially

     

     

    It’s time to celebrate who we are and how far we have come

     

     

    And celebrate we will…

  17. Any body see the Gers game lat night.Brilliant they were.Gave that Union of Sheet Metal Workers a right doing.Eh,not that I’m a Gers fan,and always going on about them or nothing,but see that wee Ignoramus,what a player,he will be worth a fortune soon.Not that I have seen much off him right enough,I would never go to that Ibrox Stadium 😍just what I pick up from that Keith Jacks son in the Record.Never be the writer his Da was.I never buy it though.Don’t need to,that Turkeybhoy keeps us all informed every post.If it wasn’t for him we would never know,that the Gers are coming,no,he never stops.Every post.Me and my mate Kev.O.J Jungle,have just one word for him,”No Surrender”.Stop posting about the Teddys.

  18. What I saw of their game USG had several really good chances to score how they won is unbelievable, USG also had a marginally offside VAR decision go against them for a goal but you wont hear about that, they were poxy.

  19. Glass Half Full,

     

    ” I believe we will sign two players by Monday”

     

    You drinking with BRRB,and he keeps filling that Glass up.😃

  20. Bollox to you AT,

     

     

    ” Hamza Igamane,sends a message to Tottenham Hotspur,as they sniff around Gets,£50 million striker”.

  21. A central defensive midfielder and a prolific striker and a 5 year deal signed by our blessed Bredan is all we need now.
