Huge match this one, Celtic really need a result as our away record in the Champions League is appalling & we'd struggle in our last game in Copenhagen. Man Utd will want this section sewn up before playing Benfica at OT to avoid the risk of elimanation 2 years on the bounce to them.

Celtics home record in the Champions League reads P 11, W 8, D2, L1.

Man Utd have won only 1 of their last 10 away in the Champions League!

Really really tough game this, the nerves have started already with me!

I massive lift is needed from the team, we must be firing on all cylinders tomorrow.

Either way, we are in the situation, and others aint, im going to enjoy the moment no matter what.

I'm getting a bit nervous now, but will be leaving work at about 12, quick pint ot calm the nerves, then up to Celtic's training ground to watch the Celtic under 19's play Man Utd's under 19's. I expect a great game there, then I'm on the beer until the big one.

Just 3.5 hrs left of work ... then im offski else I get stuck in the worst traffic on the M8...

Getting excited the atmosphere is gonna being something else!!!!!!

Celtic 3 - 1 Man Utd

Being a typical Englishman I desperately want Celtic to win this game!

Enjoy it, those who are going.

Sheriff

As a South London born an bread Irish catholic.............I can only want the Celtic to smash The mancs.

Come on the hoops.

C'mon the hoops!!

Also being a typical englishman

COME ON YOU CELTS

lots of support for Celtic tonight, and most of it coming from south of the border lol

just opened a wee bottle of Brahma!

Bring it

I was trying to do an essay but you've all inspired me to abandon it and crack open a can and get in the mood for tonight, no that it'll take much...

MOAN THE HOOPS!

Do you like it?  ;)

The full clip is a cracker, I think its Hartley hes giving pelters to

Mon the Hoops just in from work and getting ready to hit the boozer.

Trouble expected, there are around 300 Man U casuals in Glasgow.  Celtic have a big mob out as well. 

Central Station was closed at one point the day while the cops rounded up the Man U casuals and tried to usher them out the station.

Celtic and manure have always got on well in friendlies but I think its been widely recognised that if there was a competitive match it would KO.

I'm hopeful of a Hoops win. 

Big Mick for first goal and 2 - 1 the hoops 100/1 :-)

AAAAaaayyyyyyyyyAaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!

I would rather watch celebrity jungle dancing on ice than any United game, but they should edge Celtic 2-1.

Phenomenal strike!

NAKAMORYA the TAMPORA BATTERS UNITED

Never in doubt, a piece of cake really.

Great goal, was never a free kick though, loved the pen miss

Well done bhoys, as my old pal nemesis would say.....



LURVE IT

Manure are ;envious;

:)

Walk on the Bhoys!!

Great free-kick, and great 2nd half performance. 

Top performance from the crowd too - great atmosphere. 

Hopefully, we (Liverpool) will meet you in the later rounds (the final would be nice!).

Definately through,  I can't believe it I am in shock.

We can't get caught for 2nd place no matter what happens in the last game.

We went back to our regula boozerr, normally full of reasonable huns its decent for us for after the game like because its close to home and easy access from CP but they closed the doors and locked up fecking spoil sports!! 

Few of us back in my gaff now with a carry out do i phone work the now and tell them I won't be in??   :D

Fucking delighted, old dear was paying my trip to Copenhagen for Christmas but the work declined my holidays but now we're throught I can save the cash for February.

TBH  I thought WGS screwed up in the first half, I could see the game plan but we where really poor first half.  We had no width, no penetration.  I thought whien Maloney came on and got at Neville, he was a wreck, personally I thought we should have started with mcGeady and got at Neville first half.

But what a strike.  I had my cash on Big Mick but I also had a £5 on Naka at 8/1 so not all bad there.

I'm just so chuffed, hopefully now although I had doubt the night the wee man has proved that he is a decent manager and once and for all the St Martin The Deserter apologists will leave the wee man alone to get on with his job.

Mon the Hoops!!!

LOL GAZ u was had i had 12/1 getttin :D

would happily have taken odds on mate if i was guaranteed 3 points!

I settled for £20 on the Celtic win at 100/30. Valooooo.

Terrible, cringeworthy first half, much much better second.

At home now with a large glass of ice and a bottle of Southern Comfort.

Man Who?

Blackburn, Liverpool & Man U. Does this mean we get to put the Premiership on our mantelpiece?

No, to get your hands on that, you need to compete over a season ....  not win a "Cup Tie" .... Hope this helps ;)

We would if the EPL didn't shite it on-masse every time we raise the possiblity. ;)

Well with the top of the premiership sorted lets hope Europe have something better to offer.


 ;kneelsucker;

Guess it means Celtic are at the same dizzy heights as Sawfend now then?

FYP ;)

lol funny game, Man Utd pwned Cletic but couldn't score. Glad I bet on Celtic their champions league home record is awsome, and Man Poo's away record sucks.

LOL - I'm with you on that one in terms of the CL.  :)up  Hope you draw a 'big' club and give them a good stuffing.

I was referring to the idea that beating manure in a cup game shows that Celtic are good enough to top the EPL.   Although saying that, you'd do better than Liverpool currently are... :(

i didnt think uefa condoned byes in the latter stages, oh well some big team are in the quarters

Well done lads. You made my night!!

Ha ha ha didnt expect any different from you....

cheers mate....you would have loved the YNWA!, tears in my eyes mate....Magic

I know mate - sounded awesome!

Yet another fantastic European night at CP, the last 10 mins was absolute bedlam!

TBF Man Utd over ran us in midfield in the 1st half although they created virtually nothing. Strachan got his selection & formation horribly wrong but at least he rectified this at half time & the 2nd half performance was much better.

Prawn sandwich anyone  ;D

Much as Celtic were dire in the first half, someone pointed out today that Inveness Caley had more shots on target in the first 45 last Saturday than Man Utd managed last night.

So, saying Utd 'owned' us is pushing it a bit.

Anyway, as the saying goes, he who laughs last....  ;D

Maybe Boruc didn't wash before the game or something because they never went near him until after they were behind. Even Fergie said they had hardly any shots at goal. I was shocked by the stats which said they had as many as 11 (if i recall correctly) 3/4 of them were in the last 9 mins after we scored.

Sandy

just shows ye eh!...you can spend millions on 'Superstars'....run yourselves into the ground....string 27 passes together all night!




.....If you cant find the net, youll pay the price!


.....Man Who?

I still can't believe that no one has mentioned the biggest dive of the year in winning the freekick that they scored from.

Jarosik should be shot!!!!

I hate diving full stop, so maybe harsh to single him out- but that was a god damn awful dive

I support Ipswich so no bias towards either team

 Hardly a dive mate, contact was limited but player came through the back and the intent was there.

Moreover celtic where denied a stone wall penalty when Heinze elbowed Jarosik in the face when he was going for a header in the box, given at this was deliberate he should also have been sent off.

The ref tried to even things up by giving Manure a dodgy penalty but Saha bottled it.

Mon the Hoops

I dont think either Celtic or Man Utd(if they actually qualify) will get through the next round but you never know I suppose. Just think Celtic lack talent, and creativity at the very very top level - and Man Utd just don't seem to be playing well enough to qualify. Good result for Celtic though against the reds!!!!

I think Lyon look a decent bet once again for the CL, but as usual they wil lprobably fail to deliver.

 If im correct , Celtic face either Madrid or Lyon in the next round.

 now if im correct ( correct me if im not ) Lyon will finish 1st in their group regardless of next weeks results.

 therfore if we win next week in Denmark we will play Real Madrid in the next phase.

 if we send out a reserve team and get beat we will face Lyon

 if i had to choose id say we have a better chance of progressing against Lyon than Madrid

 maybe Strachan should take this into account when choosing his side next week

 ps although i believe we can beat anybody at Parkhead , including Madrid , Barcelona , Milan and the Chelseas

The draw is on 15th December. We won't know who we get till then..

I want Liverpool, Bremen (if they get past Barca) or Real Madrid.

 so it is a draw this time and not the old way

 ty for keeping me right , obviously would like to face one of the weaker sides

 as the old cliche goes , there are no easy games at this stage so we just have to get our heads down and give it our

 best shot whoever we draw

i guess it just proves  how long its been since celtic got out of the group stages  rotflmfao

ps i dont think it has ever been like that

Not biased, why do you refer to Celtic as "they" then?

The free kick was soft, I dont think the ref even saw it, the crowd got Celtic the decision, still a bit churlish to bring this up considering the work Naka still had to do to score.

Bandits right about the Heinze elbow, penalty & straight red  :redcard:

Also Scholes dives for the free kick that results in the harsh penalty decision, Giggs takes a shocker of a dive at OT in the first game as well for Utds 2nd goal, you could go on all night arguing the toss, fact is Celtic won 1-0 despite playing garbage in the 1st half

You can't really say that until the draw is made IMO, I agree about Lyon they are always a decent outside bet but don't seem to be able to go all the way.

I'd like Arsenal in the next round, we don't lose at home & they struggle at the Emirates, I'd fancy us to turn them over.

 thats because they have never been out of the group stages einstein

 and yes , ill think youll find it was this way til recently

95/96 was the last season it was done like this, and this was when there were only 16 teams in the CL proper, i hardly call that recent, einstein

We might play in a crappy league but we're big in Japan man!!

 ;tightend; ;tightend; ;tightend; ;tightend;....Naka

 :D

 some people just cant give credit where its due

 they find they have to make schoolyard comments to try and bring us down

 you wont bring us down m8 , you dont even have an inkling of what Celtic is about

 so why dont u keep your useless opinions to youself future

To be fair dans just cracked a joke to start with, last time I checked that was broadly permitted, no need to get personal.

 just cant be bothered with snidy childish remarks

 if he was joking fair enough but i felt he was being snide

hey big tomatoes, i was just having a joke, which is why i put the smiley next to my comment, sorry i didnt come across this way and sorry if it bothered you. i can assure you it wasnt done to piss anyone off.

maybe if i wish you luck in the next round you might forgive me.... as long as you dont draw us  ;goodvevil;

 no bother bud , who is your team anyway Arsenal ?

For me a draw would have been the fair result. But one moment of genius stopped a 0-0 banker.
But then Man U got what they deserved for just expecting to cruise through the second half as they had the first. They should have learnt against Southend that anything less than 100% = defeat.

Anyone else think Giggs ran out of steam and should have been subbed before the hour mark?

yes mate, but we still havent qualified yet  :dontask:

I still remember arsenal from when they used to win things.   ;)

Whenever I see a team dominate another but not score, I now call it "doing an arsenal"

Teacake, your always going to get guys like Smithy, trying to bring you down after one of the best results in recent years, thats just they're mentality mate, they are born with it.

bottom line we played bad 1st half, and good 2nd = in the end up we were the better team, ie we came out 1-0 winners and are TOP OF THE GROUP!!!

People just cant handle it.





I do however think we have a much better chance of going through to the last 8 than ...... say ...... Ipswich.

Rooooooon Ye xx

....Or even not played the game at all, after receiving a 6 match Champoins league ban for the disgusting dive in the first Game????

thats what i would have gave the cheating Bas***d!

you been drinking Dave ?

drinking in the heavenly Euphoria that is victory yes

....Alcohol no, I've got wee Emily tonight




I just cant resist sometimes mate, you never know we might never get a chance to again lol

Im resisting the urge to gloat at Tottenhams easy qualification through the UEFA cup league stage 3 from 3 victories 2 away from home.

lets hope we get MAN UTD & Barcelona in the next phase ;)

you really want Manchester Utd mate....just let them run around like idiots for 80 mins than stick one right up their botty!

 it is very likely that all British teams will qualify from both competitions this season which would be quite incredible.

 well done to the teams in the Uefa cup ( Newcastle , Spurs , Rangers , the others )

 and also to the teams already through from the CL , Chelsea , Liverpool , Celtic

 good luck to the 2 ' wee ' teams - Man Utd and Arsenal , im sure they could scrape through as well.

 It would be a great achievment and a stat to be proud of if every team went through

 particulalry for Celtic and Rangers ( first time both in Europe after Christmas for 35 years. Incredible )

 :goodpost:

I fear our (Newcastle's) Uefa run will turn out to be a small bank balancer rather than a deep run but never the less it has been a welcome distraction so far. It would be good for a British teams to go one step better than we did in the CL and Uefa last season. It is overdue!

Don't Liverppol count?

what you mean ALL british clubs quailfing? from both comps?

i am sure hearts and gretna went out in previous rounds along with all the welsh and northern irish teams

or do the fact that they are smaller teams and have very few supportersmean they dont count as teams?

Sh1T... I did completely forget about that. I had had a few by the time they actually won it but it is no excuse! I sincerly apologise and have given myself a good talking to! I think I have started to block out any success other clubs get, its a side effect from NUFC!

Well lets hope it happens again this year! (I'd settle for a Newcastle UEFa win and any British team winning the CL, Arsenal are my 1st choice team in the CL though!)

All british teams who made the league stages qualifying is clearly what he meant. No need to get like that! Of course they count as teams, it is only when you try to insert 'football' before 'team' that anyone would take issue!

would this be incredible if only 3 team quailfied for the league stage and got thru?

it would still be all teams that got thru to the league stages

but its not 3 though is it, its 9!  All the irish and welsh teams went out before the UEFA cup first round, ie qualifying rounds - not sure about Gretna and Hearts, I presume the first round was their downfall.

 that is what i meant , the teams who got past qualifiers.

 my cousin actually plays for Gretna , and im sitting in Airdrie Utd's stadium as i type this post

 ( ive worked here for 8 years since i was 14 ) from pie stall and programmes to groundsman work , security and

 maintenance , so of course the ' wee ' teams count to me  and i look out for them as much as i look out for Celtic

The final word??
