Celtic are better behaved as a collective than their Glasgow rivals, but are not without their own idiots as well. Every club has them.

There may well be some United fans who go looking for it, but having attended many United - Celtic games over the years, it is not all United who are responsible.

Last time we played Celtic at OT there were a lot of Celtic fans in our end giving it the proverbial "big 'un". They were clearly looking to start some trouble, and in a lot of cases actually did, only then to fall back on the old "Celtic supporters are the best behaved fans in the world" excuse.

I am not saying ALL Celtic fans are like this because overall they are pretty well behaved, but it is wrong to just assume that any trouble caused will solely be at the hands of United supporters and not be anything to do with Celtic fans at all.

Yes, we have our fair share of dickheads, I have seen many incidents whilst at away games home and abroad where I have been embarrassed by some of our fans' antics, but not every single Celtic fan is an angel either. I have witnessed incidents myself where some Celtic fans have been the guilty party.

I hope our fixtures do pass off peacefully, as they should, but if something does go off, don't just presume that it is all United's fault.

Like I said, we have our share of dickheads, but so does every club, Celtic included.

I for one will welcome Celtic to Manchester, you are far more welcome than Rangers ever were.

Which forum is that mate? I personally use Red Issue, always have as it is the main United forum.

There is another called Fred Tissue, but that is just an alternative forum set up by those who were booted off Red Issue for basically being boring, tedious arseholes who had nothing better to do than to wind everybody up with ridiculous threads and abuse.

To be fair, the only way to really get a true idea of what United fans think of Celtic is to go to the Sanctuary on Red Issue. The Red Issue forum overall is ok, but the Sanctuary would give Celtic fans a much better insight into how they are viewed by us reds.

And although Celtic have been slated by some in our forums, please do not take it as gospel that we all have the same opinion of you. We don't, not in the slightest.

I mean, Manchester has always had a strong Irish population and many long standing reds consider Celtic as their second club.

I know things have changed over the years, and the United- Celtic connection is nowhere near as strong as it was, but that doesn't change the fact that a lot of United fans still have a lot of respect for Celtic.

As I have said in a previous post, we do have a lot of idiot supporters, and I suspect a lot of these are the same people who have been making disrespectful comments towards the Bhoys.

Trust me though, their opinions do not represent the whole Manchester United support.

I had a look at both forums u mentoined and to be fair Fred Tissue was more attackting but Red Issue did slate us also.

is all the tickets sold out , if not how could i get a couple . I have a season ticket if that helps

[IrishCelt]

I am going to this game but I will have to sit in the United end, think I will TRY an sit quietly but im not sure I will stay quiet WHEN we score. Id say there will be spares for the United end if you wanted to take a chance but it will be very hard to get them in the away end
