Enjoyed the game you were very lucky mix up withDembelle and Brown led to your goal if thats the standard of the top team in England doesnt say much for your so called (only by the English)best league in the world.

Some idiots on both sides, I guess.
 
Thought Kolorov and nolito where poor down that left hand side tonight! Dinho got no support in the middle of the park on the press! Just thought they pushed and we looked a little disjointed at times!
Sterling great game!
Just hope we improve v spuds or will get turned over!
MCFC!
 
The itv highlights show was day and night compared to bt sports disgraceful coverage. Commentary on itv was fair and presenter Pougatch and both Lee Dixon and Keane were very praising of both sides and very fair analysis
 
Proud of Celtic tonight.

Took the lead 3 times as massive under dogs. No other team has even put 2 past city this season and i cant see any team putting 3 past them for a while. No idea if it was offside for first goal but we were screaming for one or two against city that were ignored.

Also, i thought city, particularly in the first half were putting in harsh tackles that deserved a few cards.

Anyway, its not easy to come to celtic park and i wish City all the best against Spurs & im quite confident they will go on and win the league.
Thanks. It was a fair result I thought. Celtic's goals put us on the back foot and we did well to come back, but we were a little wasteful. I didn't think we got many breaks tonight but Celtic were good. There's always bravado on an Internet message board, but those City fans who genuinely thought that it would be an easy win are just ignorant. Celtic's home record is formidable because it's such a partisan crowd, and these are Celtic's big games of the season.

It's too soon to make any predictions because the season is long and hard. I am not sure we can carry on playing at the level we have been through a long hard season. We need Kompany and KDB to return and Gabriel jesus to settle in when he arrives from Brazil. Teams like Liverpool have a massive advantage not having European football, and Arsenal are strong. I can see the Spurs game being very tight. Very difficult going away in the Premiership after an away Champions League game.
 
I thought the game was played in a pretty good spirit to be honest. Fernandinho was lucky to get away without a yellow for his foul on Brown in the second half, but there was a cynical one from your left back on Stetling that went unpunished too.
Thought game was played in a great spirit by both teams considering the importance of it.and the passion of both teams.dont even think there was a card shown

Whats the City strip all about.makes our pink strip look the height of sartorial elegance :)

I didn't think McManaman was that bad in the commentary. I wasn't paying that much attention, but he seemed reasonably fair and was full of praise for Sterling. Sutton was obviously a bit of a dick, but that's no great surprise. He's an absolute tool.
 
Fantastic game of football really pleased with celtic tonight you have also got to give city credit for coming back 3 times and finishing the stronger team.The game was played in a great spirit safe journey home to the city fans who also played there part in a fantastic occasion good luck for the rest of the season although I don't think you will need it

The commentary was just ok Ric but the studio punditry was absolutely infuriating, Sutton got so many digs in it was cringeworthy. Even Liniker realised and kept trying to balance it out which was very unusual for him. Unfortunately Dunne is too laid back. It's a shame because I thought they'd sorted it out after last years travesty

Mcmanamanaman was ok until near the end when he started going overboard in his support for Celtic. Sutton was an idiot - possibly the worst pundit I've seen on TV. He'd even give Warnock a run for his money.
 
You lot thought Celtic were a "pub team","championship shit crap",Well I think tonight showed its not that bad up here eh. Done 2-2 @ 18/1,and 3-3 @66/-,so I'm a happy Citybhoy.

I never thought that and knew it would be a tough game.Well done Celtic and predict yius will make it hard for Barcalona in the return leg as well. Nice win however with anyone who talks about longshot bets that come off would be interested in seeing the ones you lost on!

His modus operandi seems to be being an even bigger, more self opinionated dickhead than Robbie Savage. To his credit, he's actually succeeding, which I didn't think was humanly possible. The pundits who speak loudest tend to have the least to say.

I don't think any fan of any club takes any of these pundits seriously in all fairness.

Sutton is trying to emulate Bob Wilis imo & become a tough talking 'character'.

Macmanaman complimented both teams & was an improvement on previous occasions but still said he 'hoped' Celtic would keep up their pressing for 90 mins plus injury time & was praying over & again that they didn't lose. Nearest we will get to neutrality I suppose.
 
A frantic game, tough conditions, stupid and unfortunate goals: from offside, own goal and after silly mistake. City lost 2 valuable points.

From the other side this strike of games would have ended anyway, and better to collect unluck in one particular game. Good Barca in extremely tough game won in Gladbah, also I don't know how many points could Pep score against them. Defence line is the weakest chain in the team. Zaba, Oto, Stones, Sagna, Kolarov - everyone could slip, make kicks or silly mistake.

Would agree on draw at Sunday.

Great game disappointing not to win but never was going to be easy away at Celtic so I will take a point.
 
Threw away 2 pts. Utterly crap performance. Championship level side oufought us. Be interesting to see if that happens to Barca. Unlikely. Total dross, from where I was watching.

disagree there. although our defending was a lot poorer than it has been in recent weeks, celtic are no mugs and have some very good players. at home they are very very strong and with a packed parkhead behind them it always makes for an intimidating atmosphere. yes we should have been looking to get a win, but a draw is far from the end of the world
