I joined this site because I went to Manchester for the recent friendly when your millionaire superstars just beat our reserves 2-1. I was impressed with your wee stadium and your fans who shouted Rangers and did that God Save The Queen song doing Nazi salutes. Who did wreck your city in 2008 ?? Looks like you have a problem in your support too !!
For those who wouldn't like us in your league because of so called bigotry can I just say that you're probably frightened that Celtic do so well because their record against English clubs in competition is very very good.
Hail hail to all you Celtic minded City fans and praise to Hughes, Bellamy, Given and other guys who know what Celtic are about. (and it's not bigotry - leave that to Rangers ).
Nothing to do with being "frightened" in the footballing sense-possibly because the old firm just don't know how to behave and tend to bring with them a particular brand of religious bigotry and bullshit we just don't need.It's simply not worth the potential for hassle in every major city every other week.
And why should you be in our league?
We don't need you or Rangers,thanks.
But you sure as hell need us.
We should be in your league because we have the biggest travelling support in Britain,most of the teams in the premiership can't fill their grounds and we are the biggest draw in testimonials in England. Celtic are also a global club as proved in Seville in 2003. 80,000 fans from all corners of the globe decended on the place and not one arrest. Awards from UEFA and FIFA as a recognition of that. You mention hassle in every major city every other week. I think you have enough hooligans down there than to worry about the Celtic fans. Just ask your local coppers !! As I said earlier, the trouble outside your ground was the first I had seen trouble between the fans at any English ground and, yes we had some idiots with us, but the skinhead mob I saw running at us was sinister and frightening. I was driving, by the way, and had to wait in the bus park until the police sorted it out.
I would still go to Eastlands again as I think it's a nice wee stadium. Pity you couldn't fill it.
Why do we need you exactly ?
