    They already have replaced him, with Bruno from Anderlecht, £7m I think. I think they have known Mane has been going for a wee while, kind of like us and Van Dijk, except we don't replace our big players.

    Strangely looking forward to it and £60 for the 3 match package is not bad.

    Was hoping for a decent away trip but think I'll leave it, hopefully we can get out the group and get a crack at a Tottenham etc, when hopefully things have improved.

    Have to agree with Jack Torrance,I can't believe most of the comments here about this group.
    I mean do you guys realize your team was kicked out by a team like Maribor and absolutely destroyed by Legia? You aren't even first in Scotland.:smiley-laughing002:

    No disrespect, but do you think other teams will get scared because "you are Celtic"? If one Maribor didn't, I don't see a reason why RBS,Dinamo or Astra would. The truth is that you have the weakest team in the group, so I don't get why are you so underestimating these 3 teams.
    There is no way Celtic finishes ahead of Salzburg, and as I already said I consider you outsiders in this group.

    If Dinamo were destroyed by Legia, or, probably even worse, lose to Maribor they would be heavily mocked and considered to hit rock bottom.
    Celtic has some sympathies here, while some of you guys are unfairly calling BBB a "fascist mob" and "leftists",both very untrue. Greetings from Croatia.

    He's right to be fair.

    We can't criticize our own team then get offended when other people do.

    It's the sneering tone that he's adopted while doing it. I don't like it when our fans do it and even less when others do.

    I entirely agree that anyone who thinks this group will be easy is deluded. But that doesn't change the fact that he's a *.

    Nobody is really underestimating any of the sides to be fair.

    You will get the usual posts about "Who the * are Astra" or "Dynamo who?" but most are tongue in cheek and having a joke. Some supporter's are still coming to terms with where we are in terms of our European status at this moment as well.

    The large majority of us acknowledge it will be tough but as with any football supporter they will always back their side no matter how rough things are.

    Bit of an 'aggressive' first post on here as well but welcome nonetheless.

    If you come on here and act like a * you'll be promptly turfed off, so mind your tongue and your manner, don't be disrespectful and then post 'no disrespect here', it doesn't wash.

    It seems to me the only person here underestimating another team is you.

    That was a bit harsh. I think the majority of us have been accepting of the fact we're a poor team.

    Welcome to the forum in any case

    I hope we get our ship in order before this kicks off, can't be * arguing with fans of third rate European clubs that think they are better than Celtic because we're in a period of transition.

    I just went straight to the point. If some people can't tolerate opinions from other clubs fans that's sad (some tool already insulted me while I haven't insulted anyone in that post).
    I was just genuinely surprised, Celtic has had a decent team for Europe for number of years and this year it obviously isn't like that, I thought people would acknowledge that. You've come from beating Barcelona to losing to Maribor in less than 2 years, surely you're not happy with that, and therefore I don't see much of a reason why would you be favourite to advance from the group, that was my main point.


    It isn't me who is spelling a club's name wrong man :86:
    What isn't true from the highlighted part?

    Are you telling me that you can't see the difference in those two posts? The first one is just dripping with contempt and disdain. Whole thing is written in a mocking tone.

    Second one is actually "straight to the point" and is fair enough.

    At this moment, Herb isn't saying anything incorrect. Why would Salzburg, Dinamo or even * Astra fear us at the minute? We're terrible and even just watching some of the Leicester game, they are far more organised than us and can knock it about a lot better than us against a side like Arsenal. We're miles off where we should be.

    If we'd have got this group even last year, I'd have been pretty confident on getting 6 off Astra, 3 off Salzburg and at least 3 if not 4 of Dinamo, honestly. It mightn't have turned out that way, but I'd have been quietly confident of it. This season? You can only be pessimistic as it stands.

    Just hope the new players adapt to Deila's system and things start to click, or people will be saying "Jesus, things must be bad, Celtic just lost to Astra at Celtic Park!"

    Alright, can you explain why the arrogance? Because how else can I interpret the "we are coming through who are they anyway" approach? I just want to know what is that based on, that's all.
    Not even counting the other insults.

    You're picking and choosing what you read. The vast majority of us have shown a healthy respect for the other teams in the group. We know we have deficiences. You will always get fans who follow blindly

    I aint buying any Europa League tickets, * Lawwell and the Celtic PLC board.

    This lot have sold us out again and again, when VVD goes today or tomorrow it will confirm for sure that money is the only thing important to them, results on the park are of second importance.

    Also what the * is Lawwell bleating about now on how we lose £10 Million due to the demise of the Servco Huns, 17000 tickets per year (lost of two games of 8500 Huns at Parkhead) does not equate to £1Million never mind £10 Million, however Lawwell makes up these stories to justify not spending serious cash.

    Fed up with his lies, get the * out of Parkhead !!!

    Who is saying I am happy with losing to Maribor? * no-one.

    I can't see where you are getting this idea of all our fans being confident of getting out of this group, once again most of us acknowledge it will be hard and all 4 sides could take points off one another.

    If you come on here with a post like that straight away and basically say

    'no offence but you are *'

    then you are going to get abuse, let's face it. One thing I'd say is don't underestimate us either.
