sorry mates, but I'm afraid people here is not really in the mood for football ...

There has been a terrosit attack in Madrid in 3 train stations. About 170 dead already and 400 injured.

I don't have much more to say now. I'm shocked for all the things I'm lisenig on the news.

The match won't be played. There have been a terrible terrorist attack in madrid. 170 killed at the moment.

I think it'll still go a head bt with a minutes silence at the start. It would have if it was be played in Barcelona.

The match IS being played.

Wrongly IMO but that's UEFA for u. No common sense or sensitivity

a terrible incident indeed. This is not what life is about. I have read that both Barca and Celtic where willing to postpone the match but UEFA have insisted that it goes ahead. Life as they say must go on and we shouldn't let terrorists stop the decent people of this planets way of life.

my prediction on ther match for what its worth right now is that celtic will win 1-0, In all honesty its fair to say that the players and staff of Barca will have more important things on their minds.

My sympathy and regrets to all those who have suffered through this terrible act. :(

Ohh I read the news two hours ago and thought about starting a new post to ask after the ppl who live in Spain... hope no one from SG got hurt.

Any game won; t mean much now...not even a World Cup final much less a UEFA Cup game!

Same thing happened after 911 but this is much closer to home for all the teams especially the Spanish teams......games should ' ve been postponed !

It's shocking the match is going ahead! :kader: :f***:

Anyway, I'm gonna say 2-1 Celtic. Aye you heard. :$

Sad to hear of such a tragic event, sorry to all those who're invovled...

The Barca game..

What channel's it on in the uk?

the game is on Setanta Sport1 . its pay per view price is £7.99, unless you live in scotland in which case you can watch it on BBC1 there.

I hope Barca's going to win this one...they deserve it after such a bad time..:)

2-0 Celtic

Larsson double

Match shouldn't be played tho.

Thanks

I get all the BBC channels(from all regions) free on my old Sky Digital box, so I can watch it.

Omggggg I dont think I can watch it, BBC 1 Scotland? If so damn I have englanddd... :kader:

draw or barca will win (H)

Barça should wear a message in the shirt for the bastards of uefa (Y)

footballers are persons too.

A minute silence will take place before kick-off, and both teams will wear black armbands as a mark of respect.

Actually it was the nation's government that asked that the game would be played. It is good to go on as soon as possible when these tradgedies happen.

Im a adopted tic fan for tonight, com on the celts. still don't think the game should be played though.

Now could have been alqaeda. The police have found a video in a robbed van in arabic.

It's very sad to receive information about football meanwhile this happens.

Thats a disgrace from celtic fans, how they ever got fifa award is beyond me. sick

What happened? please tell me they didn't boo during the minute silence?

I cant watch this because the bastards at BBC Scotland have made it for subscribed Digital Customers/Analogue only.

So I'm watching Liverpool.

there was some boooing near the end of it. and talking. i always turn the sound up during the 1 min silence.

A couple of decent balls in the box got a corner some chances for celtic, fans moaning about handball and theres a shot from pearson just went wide.

thats for celtic

chances galore for each side and now a barca freekick, cocu shot, just went wide. 22 mins gone

golden chance for saviloa (sp)

Doing some major post boosting are you not?

heres some more post boosting

red card for motar and red card for douglas.:rockman:

Douglas sent off for "violent conduct".

:rockman: :rockman: :rockman:

Come on Barca!

saviola walks another red card

those jammy bastards are winning, thompson scored.

"Thompson for England", we won't hear the end of it now if Barca don't get this away goal. :nape:

Celtic will win at home but then their UEFA Cup dream will be disintergrated(spelling?) at Camp Nou

Motta and Saviola both sent off

LMAO:funny:

Barca are just playing for the 1-0 defeat, in my eyes that is kinda stupid. the red cards in the game have ruined this game for barca.:kader:

Go Celtic :rockman:

celtic are a bunch of jammy twats, say good bye to celtic in 2 weks time.:rockman:

what are celtic playing at beating barca 1-0 :|
its just not right! hopefully barca can win the 2nd leg cause celtic fans are getting too many wins right now and im jealous :|

GREAT game fae Pearo though! if he can produce that for scotland we're sorted ;)

Barca...:rolleyes:

I thought they were finally getting themselves back together.:confused:

Congrats UEFA for this funeral, the result has been only 2 red cards. The players were very concentrated. Violent Saviola, it's a new face that I didn't know. (Y)

What a game! both teams played well

Stephen Pearson!!! what a player!! he has to be the best prospect going for scotland at the moment

Well done celtic, 100% deserved that win, they are definoughtly a strong side in europe

It's not a shame to lose there. Celtic are one of Europes strongest teams when playing in front of their own crowd.

The 2nd leg is gonna be tough for them, they lost all of the 3 Champions League games on foreign soil.

I hope they advance to the next round. Good luck to them.

Is Crappy ass Hedman in goal for Celtic?

Crappy ass Hedman plays for a Crappy ass italian side.

heh

No, Magnus Hedman is on loan in Italy at the mo'. ( Atalanta I think. )
Celtic will prob. play young David Marshall in goal in the 2nd leg.
Still chuffed about tonights result, although we were very lucky at times.
Can't wait for the game at the Nou Camp ... Barca are a fantastic team, but maybe the Bhoys can sneak an away goals victory.
I'm going for 2-1 Barcelona.

Ancona to be exact :p

Anywayz I for one am definately surprised that Celtic managed to beat Barcelona, but I guess it just goes to show that Celtic getting into the UEFA Cup finals last year was no fluke :)

Celtic really deserve alot more respect than they get sometimes.

Hehe ... I knew it began with an A :rolleyes:

First off, my condolences to the spanish people. That was a terrible tragedy.

Both teams played well, and both teams missed a few sitters. Barcelona are a top class side, but I still think celtic will scrape through. 2-1 to barca in the second leg.

HAIL HAIL

i thought the loko match had a lot of cards... wow

thats shocking reading about that trajedy..i only just woke up then due to the time difference in Aus

Here are pictures of the goal

nice rhino thanks 4 that...they probably wont have any highlights on SBS here is AUS :f***: :f***:

how did u get those pictures on to ur computer ne way....digital camera or what??:confused:

Well, I think tonights game was a little muted, In fairness I think the players of Barca were not really into the game. I cant say I blame them. The game was a very subdued in my eyes an I think that the next leg will be tough on us( Celtic ). I would like to say sorry on behalf of 99.9% of Celtic fans to the people of Spain for the idiots who where making noises during the minutes silence.
It, as you may have heard, is not typical of our fans to be arseholes and I hope that nobody took the idiots noises to heart. As people say "There's always one ! ".
Let us all look forward to a fantastic 2nd leg and may the best team win. Hopefully the wankers who were responsible ( be it Basque seperatists, Al Qaieda or any other ****wits with small cocks)for todays attrocities will be in front of a firing squad before to long.

Long Live Life
Long Live Freedom
Long Live Peace

no i got them from this spanish soccer website.

(Y) True

There are always that tiny minority of "fans" who will try and give the real supporters a bad reputation.

Well done Celtic.

However, I think Barcelona are capable enough of digging up a few goals in the 2nd-leg with or without Saviola, it will be a close one.

Yea, it'll be a good one. Celtic could defenitly use Sutton for this one, chances are he'll miss it tho.

Just want to also add, I checked out the Barcelona website and have to say that it is a fine piece of work.The report of tonights game is an example in journalism. Totally fair and unbiased (especially important in regards to football matches imo) and well written. The whole site in fact is a quality piece of work.Check it out.

I was at the game mate and any shouts came from the Barca fans.

Then Celtic fans started booing them for shouting.

If that is true the Celtic fans that boo are pretty stupid anyway. :kader: "Common sense" a lost art in the human race.

I've heard they were very respectful. If between 60.500 people there are 50 idiots, it is not necessary to give them importance.


Rijkaard after the match:
"hay cosas más importantes que el fútbol. Antes del partido estábamos muy mal porque ha sido una noticia horrible. Después la directiva se ha comunicado con el Gobierno, la Federación y la UEFA y se ha decidido jugar, pero siempre con una cosa en la mente: hay cosas más importantes que el fútbol, aunque somos profesionales".
"there are things more important than football. Before the match we were very bad because it has been horrible news. Next the directive have talked with the Government, the Federation and UEFA and they decided to play, but always with a thing in the mind: there are things more important than football, although we are professional".


This match shouldn't be played, not because Barça lost, if Barça would have won, there would have been nothing to celebrate today.

your right ben ,
THOMPSON FOR ENGLAND:rockman:

we won and still most(not all) still think barca will romp us in leg 2

btw at buba3d its alright, let your feeling out, its ok that rangers suck and have a sh!t team:p , and stop saying oh were rebuilding:rolleyes: :kader: (H)

Can u not read? I said they were booing the Barcelona fans who were shouting during the silence

meh, jackie dont bother with the stupidness of some people

Just found out that an English radio station held a phone-in where a guy accused the Celtic fans of shouting IRA slogans during the silence.

WHAT UTTER BOLLOCKS!!!

I hope Celtic can sue this radio station which clearly just wants to drag the Scots down.

Man that is not cool tho.
Was Barca fans screaming?
That's low... 190 people killed, and they still think they can break that respect.

well, well,

Saviola was prolly a bit out of his mind..

I was visiting the Finnish parlament totally not knowing about this, and when the 'ceremonies' started everyone suddenly raised and the prime minister started to talk about some incident in Finnish and he said it in a very funny way and me and my mate almost started laughin, cracked up I'd say before he mentioned that it was something involving over 180 deaths.
imagine, first almost :funny: and then :| :| :| :|
could've been the most embarrasing moment of my life so far with all the camera crews and everything.. :$

scares meh. (:/)

Apparently they were screaming

"We are not Spanish. We are Catalan"

and "**** the Spanish"

in english and in spanish as well.

2 words: Boixos Nois

They are the radical faction that use the football in Barcelona. The 90% of them can't enter in the Camp Nou since Laporta is presiding the club. Laporta has received threats of death in his house, there was even recompense to hit him a beating.

It's not strange for me to believe that they said it.

I am quite satisfied with the defeat.I didn't expect anything more with the tragedy and all.I imagine the morale of the team...
However ,when things cool down in 2 weeks we're gonna give 'em a good outclassing in the Nou Camp.
Besides ,Barca were outnumbered and it would've been a major letdown for Celtic if they got something besides a win.

Congrats for Celtic on a deserved win ,but I am sorry ,we will be advancing from this tie.

Don't underestimate celtic. Remember last years quarter finals? We drew 1-1 at celtic park with liverpool, but won 2-0 in the return leg at anfield. Then again Celtic like it when they are underestimated.

Saviola should be banned for all of Barcelona; s remaining games in all competitions!

Show me where in my post I did this then mate? If you can make a good argument then i'll apologise, but don't just talk out of your arse. The point i'm making is that the ONLY reason you are saying this is because you lost, had it been 4-0 to barcelona we wouldnt be having this conversation.

I dunno what it's like to own a stadium...but I can friggin spell the word you dipsh1t :D

ONLY a RETARD could think that a person would say "oh, now we have a perfect excuse if Barça lose" after the attack

YOU ARE A RETARD

It's not difficult...it's called a thesis. Otherwise you just look like someone who has no argument...like gav :mrpimp:

I still don´t believe that there are people that can use what happened in Madrid to atack other people!!

There is nothing more important than human lives, please respect other people pain!!

I agree with your second point. My words were twisted by the barca fan though. I DO NOT condone what happened in Spain. I do think he used the event as an excuse for his team losing...I think if anyone is being direspectful it's him.

You don't deserve my respect. You are a bastard.

Please, any mod, close this thread.

Never asked for your respect, now f**k off and learn some skills in constructive argument.

I've just seen a some images on catalan Tv about celtic suppoters and how they live the matches.

I wish I can go someday to that stadium in an important game. The atmosfere it's amazing.

It's really impresive to see 60,000 people signing "you'll never walk alone" all together.

IMO they are the best supporters in Europe.

Oh poor, deluded people. :(

They didn't win the Uefa fair play award for nothing. They brought 80 000 fans to Seville, lost the game and still didn't cause violence.

The only thing I noticed is that they are capable of drinking a lot more than us "normal" guys. :confused:

You'd find the culture here is to have a good time and get as pished as possible whenever we are abroad with no ill intent, so no surprise there. Hell, we need it. It's not as if we follow our sides to watch good quality football, so whenever we have the opporchancity to rub shoulder's with the best we make sure we maximize the experience with alcohol. (H)

It's just that when they are at home they come bloody close to being the scummiest of the scum. Sure they did themselves proud in Spain, but in that same season we had:
-Fans chanting IRA songs outside the ground during a minute's silence for 9/11 (It should be stressed that this was coming outside the ground, but would good fans be chanting such things at a football game, and more importantly, during a time of respect for the dead of that incident? :kader: )
-Blocking Hearts' fans entrance from outside the stadium when we beat them 2-1 (Not reported in the news, but it was a large crowd throwing bottles and coins, with police needing to bring out the dogs and shields to protect the Hearts support. Also a fair few of these were women and children)
-Rumours of intimidating Kilmarnock fans on the day they lost the league (Obviously can't confirm this, but I can imagine them doing such things)
-Fans rioting on the plane back from a UEFA cup tie with Celta Vigo because smoking was barred on flight, which caused the plane to stop at Cardiff.

So ok, they had a great time. Won't question that. They seem to have been amazing ambassadors for both Scottish football and Celtic. Fine. But to give them such an award with all my reasons (which is literally the tip of the iceberg)? You're having a laugh. (N)

I await jackie's reply to this. And aye jackie, our mob are a shower of fuds too, but only to weegies and the weeteam. ;)

You forgot the Celtic fans imitating a plane in the stands just after 911...this was aimed at American Claudio Reyna who was playing for Rangers at the time.
They sing songs about child killers and assasins :f***:
Best fans my F***ing arse!!

Hey mate, i know what i´m talking about, everyone has the right to his opinion, so respect mine allowing me to respect yours, ;).

My opinion didn´t came out of nowhere, i WAS in Seville in the UEFA Cup final and i WAS at Stadium of Light when Portugal played Eire for the World cup qualifiers, so i´m intitled to compare them. I think that the Irish fans are as noisy as the Celtic fans in the stands, with the advantage of being much more enjoyable folks in the bars. That´s why i think that Eire fans are better! As i said before that´s my opinion based in my own experience so live with it, this is a free forum and you must learn how to respect the opinions of others avoiding those patronising comments like you did, i don´t recognise in you any knowledge superiority to do so!
