On back shift tonight listened to the Radio Clyde phone in , every second call theres a Zombie on the phone greetin about Celtic getting praise for last night's performance .... they wanted to know why as the late Rangers FC got slated for boring the sh*te out of us home and away for years in Europe under Sir Watty De Cardigan , my favourite call was the one where this clown said all the teams "Sellik" have played urny up tae much and that Barca urny the best team in the world and are boring tae watch coz they pass the baw too much wha , no wonder everybody's rippin the pish out yous , mind you yous lot think a big blooter up the park is how the game should be played lol

Heard it too,at the time of the man utd and barca games only heard things like "watty goat his tactics spot on",amazing that aint it,that some people go on fone ins and slag us off for last nights performance aligning us with a bunch of cheating b@$7@rds
who could only compete by bringing in EBT mercenaries.

I only listened to the later part of the phone in. Gets to me to much but heard a few rangers fans saying rangers parked the bus and got slated for it... The difference is rangers done it in every game in Europe! Teams bigger than celtic have gone to camp nou and got hammered in fact the odds for celtic to get beat 5-0 was 8/1. When the group was first published everyone knew Barcelona would get full points just about out of the group. Like it or lump it celtic put Scottish football back on the map.

Well after our first defeat in Europe this season to the favourites to win the competition and reading/listening to some of the comments from the supporters of a Div 3 team, think that well and truly puts paid to this strange belief supporters of SPL clubs have an obsession with the biggest shameful collapse in Scottish football history and now shows it for what it really is an interest to us that is nothing more than comical.

To compare one Champions League game to a 2008 UEFA cup run is yet again�comical.

Mrs E

It's not a mystery that pretty well most things genuinely seem to be a mystery to... DERANGERS.

Just when you thought the universe had run out of jokes to play, they've been allowed to morph into (and let's give a warm welcome to)... DERANGERS FC.

The universe laughs, the bears scratch their heads.

Anti football's an absolute disgrace to the game no matter who plays it. Anyone who thinks otherwise has either blue or green tinted glasses on. It's a total embarassment that any Scottish supporter could walk away feeling any sort pride with how Celtic played Tues night. Remember now, the tactics didn't work... they lost. Before anyone takes the huff and accuses me of being a disgruntled Bear, I felt the same after the UEFA cup run and our own games against Barca/Man Utd. It's a sad day when either set of supporters can walk away feeling that their club has achieved something playing that style of fitba ... VHSS

Aw for goodness sake...this was ONE game against Barcelona so defending well is very much something you have to do. We lost Sammy and Scott Brown so I am not emabarrassed by the result or Celtic's fantastic defensive display.

Celtic do not play anti-football, any decent football supporter knows that.

In the words of ITV (not just the Scottish variety):-

'Celtic by far the most impressive British team in the Champions League this week, followed by Man Utd and then a large gap to the rest'

Mrs E

To the person who disagreed.... so much for not being in awe of the shirt ! VHSS

Mrs E... no decent football fan anywhere would call what Celtic played on Tuesday ... football. VHSS

Well I'm at least glad you are recognising it as one night and one game of football.

Its evident anyway you are very annoyed Celtic did not succumb to a humiliating defeat at the Nou Camp and they received praise for their performance. If it wasn't football, what was it ? There was 3 goals with both teams scoring. Mrs E

You're missing my point Mrs E. Just because the scoreline may not have reflected it, I truely believe it was an embarassing but accurate statement of just how poor Scottish fitba really is. VHSS

I'm not missing your point at all.

You have come out and had a go at Celtic just after their first European defeat this season, which just happened to be at the Nou Camp.

Celtic do not play this anti-football you speak of.

As you are talking about 'points' what stat gets the points ? It certainly ain't possession, I believe its the scoreline but hey i'm female what do I know about football.

Incidentally, I hear the scoreline at Ibrox was flattering last week. Maybe Ally should give the 3 points back as it was not a true reflection. Mrs E

Mrs E.. really now ! I expected better from you VHSS

can I ask all Celtic fans going to the return game with the mighty barca to have their players who we are in awe of and the whole football world to be in awe of us by having the loudest and most amazing sight in football by doing the champions league huddle just before kick off and obv during the match ,no matter what the score may be no one expects anything from us anyhow ( would love to win tho) but to give fans all over the world to see how truly great our club and supporters really are. c mon the hoops. tommybhoy

It would be amazing to see a full stadium Huddle just as the teams shake hands.Get the amazing Green brigade on it!............green jhedi

Totally gutted by last minute goal, but so proud of the Celtic players.
We made Barca work hard the whole game and cannot grudge them the win, as they were the better team.
Looking forward to two weeks time, Celtic Park will be rocking...
Also want to say a big well done to the stadium announcer, playing all the
Celtic songs after the game. I hope Celtic reciprocate and play Barca songs
when they visit us. hail hail Timalloy

Argee totally with you this time. Think that's been our best back 4 in I don't know how many years! Held them for long enough though we would get a point at Parkhead before a ball was kicked last night. Good experience for everyone involved.

Also the GB are meant to be pulling out all of the stops for when barca come to celtic park heard something along the lies of its to do with the 125 years.

I'm sure we will return the songs to barca when they come. On the plus side celtic are the only team of 2012 to stop Messi getting a goal or a assist means nothing in the group but shows how good we played last night

Lenny

remember the words of javi " celtic have a lot in common with barcelona as like ourselves they not been made to feel welcome in their own country"

The most important lesson we should take from this is how important it is to keep hold of the ball. Watching both Spain and Barca, they don't fear passing to marked man, they keep it one touch and always on the move, so very difficult to close down.Without being too critical, ball retention, or lack of it was our biggest problem and this gave us very little respite and although we did very well, it was like watching the "alamo", with the inevitable ending. Also a very big learning experience.

It will be a real pleasure to visit Celtic Park and feel the atmosphere of a great UEFA Champions League venue.

The Celtic supporters are fantastic, in fact the best travelling supporters in the world as we have seen many times.

I know that Celtic supporters are extermely passionate about their club , a club which I believe, like FC Barcelona, is different.

We know that supporters will travel in huge numbers to follow their team, but we also know the great reputation of good behaviour which Celtic fans enjoy and clearly we are looking forward to hosting Celtic fans in the City once again.

We hope all Celtic supporters enjoy their visit to Barcelona.

Sandro Rosell (President FC Barcelona)

@Mrs E; had a call from a mate who was there last night and he said the atmosphere was amazing after the match.Barca fans waited to meet the Celtic fans outside the stadium to swop scarves etc and the city really opened their doors to the Bhoys and Ghirls. Winning friends and influencing people; It's the Celtic way!......... green jhedi

Gers fan here, must say that you were so unfortunate to lose in the last minute. Thought Wanyama, Ambrose were superb.

It's funny, or not, how it always seems to be the Scottish team that gets done at the death, only for glorious failure.

I think you will get through this group, although it may come down to last game.

shamrock here , like i said earlier i'm nightshift . so i havn't seen the game did'nt even hear it on radio.. i phoned the burd after full time , she was crying. just reading you guys comments i think i understand why. i'll watch it tomorrow. if they played for the jersey and gave 100% thats all we can ask against barca .

Got in from work at 6 , one of my nice satin cushions has her teeth imprints on it , as justin and colin would say '' what a bitch'' but seriously , what a performance , scottish football is a joke apparently , ok show me a team from anywhere that could have done better. well done guys . i have said in the past that i am not lennys biggest fan , as a man yes, no one gets bigger kudos than him for the **** he has endured, as a manager/coach i had my doubts. neil i apologise on my knees . you are getting it right , this team are getting close to seville standards . i am the tit not you .. shamrock

From a GOONER,
Just wanted to say, I'm gutted you didn't get the draw. You should be very proud of your boys as I'm sure you are. Fair play to you.
Flybo.

Flybo.....been a Gooner all my life mate. God bless the Celtic!
