Rosenborg a shadow of former self

874

Congratulations to Celtic, who last night became the first Scottish team to win a European tie since, Celtic, last season. While I am sure we would all have preferred to face Dundalk in the next Champions League qualifying round, a trip to Norway to face Rosenborg will be welcome by the club.

Rosenborg are not the same force we faced 16 years ago, and even that team was a shadow of the team who tested Real Madrid a few seasons earlier. The Norwegians succumbed to the inevitable forces of economic plunder, as clubs from richer leagues picked off their talent at increasingly earlier ages.

We should have more than enough in the tank for this one.

    Very disappointed with the charges against Leigh as his actions at the end of the match didn’t appear in any way intended to provoke the the small section of opposition fans who were closest to our support and who had remained in the stadium for no good reason while our players went to thank the Celtic fans behind the goal. If anything the Linfield fans stayed behind after the game to abuse our players.

  2. The delegate last night was from the Czech Republic, I could not find who the delegate was in Belfast it wasn’t listed on the UEFA website despite this giving out the usual information.

     

    Celtic are quick to act against their own support but refuse to or wont comment on being cheated for years.

  3. Canamalar it looks like OCD obsession on

    BSR,

     

    I’m beginning to think the GB has a few Plc placemen that help keep the support divided and distracted, how else would they get these banners in.

    ‘I said it years ago since the John Reid’s days on the board, in came the Uni Mob, and we have never got rid of them, student activists with an agenda living off my football club on what they use for a political agenda.’

     

     

     

    ###

     

     

    So are you saying that John Reid is the evil mastermind behind the Green Brigade?

     

     

    It would make sense right enough.

     

     

    He’s one of that Uni mob (anyone called Dr has been to Uni*,) and I recall George Galloway saying that it was John Reid who taught him the words of The Men Behind The Wire. So you might well be on to something.

     

     

     

    * except Paisley.

  5. Throwing glass bottles at players, chants of child abuse, songs about being up to their knees in people’s blood, a fan incursion onto the pitch and the deployment of riot police.

     

     

    Despite all the above Celtic end up with the longer charge sheet.

     

     

    UEFA are a disgrace.

  6. Rights or wrongs aside…just stop it! Does nothing but damage to our club! Puts off sponsors etc. Mind you…if you want to be left behind in this bigoted little backwater, then carry on, as the football world scratches their heads! Self righteous wee knobs!

    Who?

  8. Can I chuck in a wee squirrel while we debate the GB and EUFA?

     

     

    Was anyone else put out by the volume of the sound system at Celtic Park last night? At half time my mates and I gave up trying to talk about the first half because we couldn’t compete with the adverts’ music. Four dummies standing like dummies – whodda thunkit?

  9. It is a pity, when things are going so well on the pitch, that we are constantly involved in non football spats.

     

     

    Things going well on the park and the way club is being ran, dose not suit the Ultra Uni agenda, they do it constant, Cause it.

  10. Jimmynotpaul on

    As someone, move cleverer than me, tweeted earlier, probably uni educated.

     

    The Green Brigade should add, strip the titles to their banners, that way they can guarantee the Scottish press will ignore them.

     

    Hail Hail

  11. This Old Age Pensioner mob will be the ruination of our club with their holy Wullie blue pill libidos!

     

     

    Hopefully the raising of the pension age will help this slide into appeasement!

  12. The last time I looked every single member of our board was uni educated, they are spineless to boot, they are self serving and some might call them parasites as well.

     

    Yet they are lauded by some, nothing stranger than folks.

  13. The Inane Rambler on

    I often read how it would be beneficial to have fan represenration on the Celtic board.

     

     

    Is it now time to have a Celtic rep on the green brigade board?

     

     

    (should that be ‘Army Council’?)

  14. Delaneys Dunky on

    Do the grey brigade who post here and decry the Green Brigade, remember when they were youthful and exuberant Tims?

  15. Wonder if it was the cheating/lying hun Ogilvie or the bigoted hun Dallas that clyped us?

     

    Probably the mssm DOB’S originally and the two above huns reinforced.

  16. Delaneys Dunky on

    I loved seeing the reaction of the stuck in the 17th century Belfast/Brigton huns when Broad Black Brimmer was sung gustily by the majority of the Celtic support last night.

     

    They don’t like it up them ra peepul.

  17. I don’t decry the G B .

     

    It’s the leaders of the Ultra Uni mob I’m decrying, so let’s not be getting mixed up here and putting the old spin on it, 95% of the GB are just kids, doing what people are orchestrating them to do.

  18. We whenever successful will always try to be undermined by the best wee bigoted country in the world.

     

    So appeasement is not the answer!

     

    We knew we were being cheated and they said you’re just paranoid.

     

    They got caught on many occasions and they say move along Timmy.

     

    Their only defense is whataboutery so they try everything they can to besmirch Celtic.

     

    The defiance of the Celtic supporters to a country that hates us makes me proud.

     

    Long may it continue.

    Same reply to you my friend, I’m not agreeing or disagreeing with the nuances of said banner. They were warned last year in advance , yet did it anyway with the inevitable consequences. Here’s the rub….Celtic FOOTBALL club without this pointless crap that some would like to pursue is an infinitely more marketable brand! I don’t like to think of Celtic as a brand, but that’s the world we live in I’m afraid! Either we comply with daft rules or we become irrelevant!

  20. BIG-CUP-WINNERS on

    We can argue all day and all night about this. Don’t matter.

     

    Point is there’s a big guy called UEFA and he is telling us, not asking.

     

     

    They’ll be gleefully helped by the media here.

     

     

    Remember the Sun journalist fabricating a lie and reporting Celtic supporters’ songs to UEFA ?

    I was on a Glasgow uni bus to Ekeren, have a load of photos i need to get round to posting somewhere

  22. TD67

     

    I am not giving the board it in the neck, I am imo stating facts, if you can disprove what I have said, I will happily hold my hands up and retract my words.

     

    They are Uni educated

     

    They are Spineless

     

    They are Self serving

    Do you know how many official members the Green Brigade have?

     

    It will surprise you.

  24. Uni Type GB leader 5 percenter:You son. Sing this or you’re out of the GB fold. Do you hear?

     

     

    Child: Do I need to university mob leader?

     

     

    Uni Type GB leader 5 percenter: No. But if you don’t sing what we say you must sing, because we went to Uni, we’ll send you out if the GB to sit with the Old Age Pensioner brigade!

     

     

    Child: Ok. Didn’t realise it would be that bad a punishment. Oh Ah, Up The…
