City v Celtic post match

[It just had to be BLUE.]

At least they know how to spell though.

And they know how to glorify murdering cowardly bastards , and sing about blowing Manchester up .you sad appeasing wanker

 

[aka blue jambo]

Of the total Celtic support it was. I still haven't seen anything to back the original charge up.

It's the blanket sweep that is utter pish and driven ironically by bigotry.

Of the ones at the game last night . ?... no chance
Stop being naive

I thought Gundogan was good for you. Didn't really notice Sane much until later on. Tosin played well. For us brown and Armstrong were best. Roberts very good first half

 

[big gaz]

Unless I fell asleep I didn't hear The fields of where ever.

 

[Eds]

I heard the fields of wherever around the 70th minute, a few wham songs and then some constant dirges they nobody could understand bar the Celtic fans. From where I sat it looked most of them were more concerned with looking at the stands rather than the pitch. I will assume all the droning dirges were their attempts at dinging sectarian shit. The reason they weren't chucked out is nobody could make head nor tail of what they sang.

Not sure whether sarcasm or not but call me out when Sane flops.


P.s He won't, so don't hold your breath.

No sarcasm. Hoping you are right.

 

[Scaring Europe to Death]

We beat the best, Leeds at the time, home and away in the 1970 semi of the then European Cup.

Home and away.

I’m not disputing that mate, although I do recall Leeds having a terrible backlog of fixtures.


I was merely making the point that from 66-74 the Football League was won by Liverpool, United, City, Leeds, Everton, Arsenal, Derby, Liverpool, and Leeds.

They were all great teams, but were equally too busy beating each other, for any one club to truly dominate

In addition, nine English clubs won a European trophy and England won the World Cup, and reached the Semifinals at Euro 68.


In contrast the Scottish League 66-74 was won by Celtic, Celtic, Celtic, Celtic, Celtic, Celtic, Celtic, Celtic, and Celtic.

Consequently, despite being a top side, the Lisbon Lions were never truly tested on a weekly basis.

And the same thing happens now. We don't get tested on a weekly basis. When we play in Europe we have to massively raise our game. We have made good strides this year. If you watched the games you'd see that. Hopefully next year we don't get as rough a draw and can secure third place and maybe push for second.

I will give you that.

Even more of an achievement when you think their edge wouldn't be as honed when stepping up a class.

Won it in 67. Beaten Finalist 70, beaten semi finalist 74.

I think without that competitive advantage a better league would help you. Isn't that the perceived wisdom?
So having to do without that and still cutting it shows an even greater level of application.

That's the way I view that. Overcoming the disadvantage of not being tested your rivals enjoy, but still beating them.

Fair enough mate.
I wasn't intending to fall out with Celtic fans. I was merely playing Devil's Advocate.
