Hail, Hail, Celtic are really Irish and everyone shouls support them above eL teams!
(don't really mean it but just thought that I'd see if I can get the thread to 50pages)
An A*se, if you had a higher calibre of intelligence I would have made a better effort. :rolleyes: Why do I think your intelligence is greatly challenged? Because you - and the rest of the Leeside planky gang - have nothing, BUT NOTHING, to say except sh*te, although quick to go running to dahamsta and get myself and Mr. O'Banton banned for a week if we start rising to your insults. Perhaps, when your cojones have dropped things will be different and you can come back and prove me wrong with some sort of coherent argument. Until then (YAWN) you're little more than an irritating itch on my sphincter. :cool:Quote:

Lopez, ....... see what you can do when you try !! :D
Ten points for effort, someone give him a biscuit :)
Listen mate .... while i do at times enjoy your ramblings, i dont go running anyway about them. You are well able to get banned on your own, you dont my help at all, just wanted to set you straight on that point.Quote:

Oh deary me!! Sell-thick the Muppet butts in on this thread aiming to wind people up and what happens? It looks like he's getting all wound up himself. Must of hit a sore spot! F*cking brilliant! You've made my Sunday, an A*se. :DQuote:

It sounds like it would be better for Irish football that Shels (or any EL side except your own) failed to make it into the Champions League group stages. In other words, the league is better sh*te, the consequence being that much of the footballing following population will follow the foreign teams you claim to abhor. But then this is just my view: I'll let the rest of the posters on this thread make their own mind up on whether I was taking you out of context...or not!Quote:

It doesn't matter what the rest of the posters make of it, cos i see that you have already altered it to suit yourself. "In other words ..." ....... Ahm NO, not in any other words at all, not matter what way you arrange them. The point i am trying to make is (again) "My argument is that it is not good for the league to have one team pull away from the pack and dominate for the next 10-20 years.

Did we really see Sell-Thick shown up to be an ordinary team last night v Barca or is it only a hic-up for them ??

bhoys are missing larson big time
They're ordinary, and that will continue to be shown in the champions league, especially away from home where the crowd and 'fighting spirit' won't be worth a damn to them.
Ordinary teams spend £1.5 million or so pre-season, great teams spend buckets. Until O'Neills purse strings are loosened, then it'll be the same old same old...
Outclassed totally. £45m spent by Barca in the summer showed the difference between the 2 clubs.
I thought we'd a chance of nicking it during a 20 minute period of pressure before and after our goal but if that had happened then it would have been stolen.
No complaints, ability beats passion 9 times out of 10 and I thought we'd get a hiding when I saw them keep the ball from us for the first 5 minutes and when we did get it, the first thing we did was hump it up the park and give it straight back to them :confused: . Never really understood that logic myself :rolleyes:
Unfortunately I think we'll get a few more comprehensive beatings in this group.
Well, there'll always been crowing in some quarters, whenever Celtic lose a high profile match like this.
It was a really strange evening all round. The whole Henrik thing was really bizarre, almost surreal to see Jebus-made-flesh himself potting it in the net... :( and then not celebrating in the usual manner. :( It wasn't the best of games, to be fair. I thought they were on top for a while, but the it-all-goes-titsup-fairy sprinkled her magic dust and it fell apart.
But to answer the original question, no, they're far, far from ordinary.
Define ordinary. Well capable of progressing from the group stage, unfortunately not this group. Barca are a very good side and will probably get better with time. AC may well do a job on Celtic as well.
However they have shown in the past that they are capable of beating some very good teams probably will do so again.
Certainly as well Celtic did have an off night (all three goals were down to defensive mistakes) however were comperhensively outplayed. Restricted by their (and Rangers) success in Scotland big tv companies will not touch them, they will unable to attract players to narrow the gap in Europe. This isn't a bealt by the way I know that the smaller clubs in Scotland have similar grievances against Celtic and Rangers. Simply stating facts.
Prob at monent a second tier European side.
Celtic, truely an awful joke, as my Dad said, small time players in a big club. When will Martin O'Neill wake up and jump ship, there is no more he can do with the club.
Before anybody makes scathing remarks, I have no interest in the 32 Counties aspect of Celtic, ie. The Celtic "fans" at Turners Cross a couple years ago.
a face,will be distraught today ;)
And what exactly makes them an awful joke?? :confused:Quote:

Neil Lennon? While I'm not a huge fan, the facts are fairly simple......he's got a better pass completion rate than most midfielders in the Champions League (opto stats) which basically means he doesn't give the ball away, which basically means if the opposition don't have the ball then they can't score (no smart comments about how it hasn't worked so far!!). Carlo Ancellotti pointed out before the Milan game that Lennon was the player he most admired in the Celtic team and that in his opinion, every team needed someone like him.
They didnt up their game for the match as the should have, the eL teams did it for Europe so why can't Celtic?Quote:

wasn't '....Celtic are atrocious' how it went?

While I don't want to take away from any of the great results by the EL teams in Europe, SOME of the results had as much to do with the fact that the other teams were in their pre-season and not half-way through a season like the EL teams IMO. I was delighted when City kept winning but in all honesty, I think if City were to play Nantes or Nijmegan now then the results might be different, seeing as they would be by now, match fit.
Final point about Lennon, it doesn't matter who or where you pass it too, as long as you keep possesion. He's not there to be a Zidane. Roy Keane does it, Gattuso does it, Lennon does it... that's why most managers would kill for players like these.
Hopefully we wont have to watch them on TV anymore. There are other clubs from Britain in Europe who play more attractive football

facts are stranger than FICTION
Celtic have left a lot of fans down, the likes of Shaktar really should be dispatched!
Chorlton Irish Club? Leeds Irish Centre? Or the many other Irish centre's around the world, never mind Britain? Why wouldn't they be welcome there :confused:Quote:

As a Celtic fan, I don't think they let me down :confused: I wasn't expecting much out there anyway, hopefull yes, but not expectant. I fully expect Celtic to beat them at home as per my argument earlier about raising their game, espeically at home.Quote:

Unfortunately Celtic's strongest 11 is not strong enough at present to compete in the CL. When we lose 3 or 4 of these players and replace them with untried teenagers then we really are in trouble. I am not dillusional and can see this, however each time we go out to play I am optimistic that we can get something out of the game.
However, I am a realist. We play in a poor domestic league, which attracts poor levels of revenue from media and ensures we have great difficulty in attracting top class players to our club. This argument has been stated time and time again, but for the record playing Livingston or Dunfermline on the Saturday is not the ideal preparation for a Weds night game in the San Siro versus Milan.
I suppose if nothing else it gives some of the sad EL fans who frequent this site an opportunity to gloat.
Personally I hope Celtic and all EL sides can continue to progress in european competition - but unfortunately it just seems to be to uneven a playing field for that to happen.
of course a negative post must be here so i think they are $hite :p
I like Celtic alot, but lets be honest here,last night they were a shambles and this season is one too many for this set of players in the CL
I think everyone knows my view on Sell-Thick !! :D
C'mon the hoops!!
People ... stop making excuses FFS
Sell-Thick are being found out for what they really are !! I know that it ain't great now that the game is up and people are now getting a chance to smell the coffee and see them fpr what they really are.
In fairness ... you have to expect to land with a bump as you've been trying to fly this "oh we're such a great club, we've got more luck than a lucky bag" cráp all along. Come down out of the clouds before you hurt yourselves and realise that SPL is the league you play in.
But in fairness i suppose you'd have to blame some of the people who have been taken in with all this shíte aswell.
