I've been critical in the past of the Green Brigade's song choice in big moments in big games but fair play to them on Tuesday, song choice was spot on throughout and got the place rocking from start to finish. Long may it continue.

Does anyone find the opposition praising the atmosphere a bit patronizing? Especially after comments about not playing Muller unless it was Real Madrid. Would rather it was our players being praised.
Have to say I do.

Im getting a bit tired of the media and to an extent our fans salivating how great an atmosphere it is. I think we need to concentrate more on getting a result.

Contradicting myself a tad as on post match thread I did mention the atmosphere was great but this media hunt after a game from any visiting fan/player/ official about how wonderful it is getting a tad tiresome...I want us to b e rememberd for stuffing teams and winning games.


Im still not overr the result all the same.

I agree 100%.

I'm glad the place is rocking and think on certain nights it's incredible but getting a bit fed up with the condescending pat on the head after a defeat and the usual platitudes about a great atmosphere.

Let's start effing beating teams again.

GB done well to rectify the problem of the banner at the start :thumbsup:

Place was bouncing all night, absolutely superb.

:clap:
No we never, sadly. The banner was an absolute shambles, embarrassing for us and definitely not acceptable. We're absolutely gutted and angry with it.

There's a post above about a 'fans tifo' being better than banners - I disagree. Almost anyone can arrange a choreod layout for fans to raise above their heads. The banners take weeks, sometimes months, of hard work - working on them most nights of the week for 4 hours at least or longer at weekends. It's a real hard slog at times, using a lot of materials which cost a lot of money. Once you appreciate that aspect you respect them a lot more and you understand why we'd be so gutted when they go wrong.

The atmosphere was fantastic though so credit to everyone in the stadium - Bayern support are usually pretty good and we made them look poor.

Thats a gutter for you boys as it was a great idea and design. Could have been better but also as far as tifo mistakes go I'm sure it could've been a lot worse and it was still recognisable at least.

We need the atmosphere to get a result.

There’s no place like CP on a European night. I’ve lost count of how many European games I’ve been to but it still sends shivers down my spine.

It’s unique and deserves to be mentioned to anyone who has never experienced it. All the stars have played all over the world in major tournaments are blown away by it.

It’s not a comfort blanket, it’s something to be proud of.

Aye, it's no like the patronising stuff the Ireland fans got at the Euros - they're honkin, but aren't they great at all the singing and getting pished? It's genuinely one of the best stadiums in Europe to play in, and it has a bit of myth about it now. Doesn't do us any harm at all.

I've been to see Bruce Springsteen numerous times - every time the hairs on my neck stand up. I know what to expect, I know I'm going to have 3 hours of unrivalled excitement - I know the media and fans will talk it up big time and every other musician in the world will marvel at his ability to entertain / keep going for 3 hours - I pay £90 to see this, because I love the experience.
Celtic Park on a CL night is all about the experience. It's what we pay our money for. Fans / players from all over Europe love it because it is such an experience - like going to see Bruce, it's something you need to experience to appreciate just how good it is and afterwards you need to tell every body else.
The German fans were paying stupid money to get into CP on Tuesday, it's not fake, it's not being condescending, it's all about appreciating / revelling in a great experience. Football is an entertainment, the atmosphere is a big part of the entertainment, which is why we go along and behave the way we do on CL nights.
Had we won on Tuesday, do you imagine the Bayern fans would have thought any less of the experience? I don't.
And once again, thanks to the GB for making it such a great night.

Personally I couldn't give a toss if the atmosphere was crap, so long as we could somehow get a result against one of these "elite" teams.

All this patronising pattering up of the fans wouldn't be happening if they were leaving Celtic Park beaten.

The atmosphere is not just a boost for the players, but great publicity for CelticFC.

If the atmosphere was shampoo, do you think Celtic would get so many mentions in the foreign media - no!!!

Off course we all want to win, but the last big game win that Celtic was highlighted by the foreign media was Barca 2-1 game, whereas since then (not counting the negative items for fans running on the field), the vast majority of foreign media talk about the atmosphere. Would we rather them talking about us being the best team in the world - yes, off course, but to have been voted the best supporters in the world, with it also being recognised that Celtic Park (inclusive the big game atmosphere) is in the top 5 stadiums in the world.

We complain when the media give us bad publicity (most of it not proportional), so why the .... are people complaining about good publicity from the media :(

The atmosphere doesn't win us games nor does it allow us to qualify, we need it to change from good to intimidating as it seems to be that more teams are enjoying it rather than fearing it.

Hate the cheering of the CL anthem should be booing that.

How many Celtic players have said the atmosphere drives them on? Which, in turn, helps them win games. Which, in turn, allows us to qualify.

I've been lucky enough to have been to some big stadia on some big nights. Nothing compares to CP. It's much preferable to somewhere like the Ali Sam Yen.

Correct. I scream like a banshee when it starts, and it’s not in appreciation of uefa.


There are some right moaning faced bastards in our support.

Change the atmosphere from great to intimidating ? How so ? By turning into hate filled Hun types.

Think I’ll appreciate the very special CL nights just the way they are. I am sure the results will come regardless, because we have a brilliant manager with ever improving players.
