Yeah would have to agree with that.
Also of note, man behind me was shouting "fcuk off Henderson" everytime downing touched the ball in the first half

Left Back on the Bench

Celtic finished with nearly an under 21 team.emptied the bench too.Liverpool knocked it around ok but nothing in the final 3rd.

Celtics starting 11 Cost £5m+ compared to Liverpools starting 11 value of £95M+

only a friendly of course, but seemed to be played serious enough to me

always good to upset the smug premiership brigade, especially ones who dont even come from that country

Great result bhoys, hopfully we get a couple more decent players in and we might have another good wee run in the Champions League.

Are you serious?

Ok, now we have PC-Liberal brigade, evil cats brigade, Liverpool fans who think they're going to win the Premiership and a smug Premiership brigade. Oh and the tooth fairy, but she might actually be real.

I don't think anyone really gives a flying **** about losing a pre season friendly or do they.

Francie Barrett

Don't have time to post my full thoughts, but I have to say I was surprised at just how high the intensity of the match was today. Fair play to Celtic, I think they wanted the win more, and it showed today.

The one criticism I would have of our pre-season is that we didn't play enough challenging games. I mean, it's all well and good putting a couple of goals past the likes of Valarenga or Olympiacos - it's another thing to beat a seasoned and determined team like Celtic.

At least, this game will have showed to our lads that they can't be taking technically inferior teams for granted when we open our season next week.

yeah but it wont be long before they go back to bashing our team and league again i thought when we dumped Blackburn & Liverpool out of Europe in the same season and also then beat Man United in the Champions League a few years later then some respect would be thrown our way, now im past caring what others think cos some will always believe the hype that sky sports feeds them bout their precious EPL.


and so yes i am feeling smug tonight .. great perfromnces from our two new lads and the young boys had good games too!

aramush

I think the stats and the game itself tell us all we need to know about the gulf in class between the sides but ultimately the only stat that counts is that on the scoreboard. Liverpool need to be more clinical as the Premier League arrives while Celtic return to a mickey mouse league which they will probably walk once again. Bring them to play in the English league, lets see what they're made of!

Will you go away with that bollox talk. Celtic got loads of praise and support here during the champions league run last year and anyway why would you give a **** what opposing fans think of Celtic and the Scottish league.

You are giving out about everyone and yet you are the one doing the most moaning with your generalisations.

Would that be as high a standard as the Champions league that we did so well in last season i wonder? Anyway it's a stupid point cos if Celtic were in the epl it would be a completely different team and squad for a start

Well thats it decided. Even in victory, Celtic fans are the biggest victims in football.

I know a few bhoys from Glasgow that were over but suprigisngly most Irish based Celtic fans i know here in Donegal didnt bother to go, i think it was more of a novelty for the Irish Liverpool fans today than it was for the Irish Celtic fans as i think the Celtic fans here in general travel to more home games than EPL fans -not having another dig just more to do with cost & availablity of tickets & other factors.

We beat your lot in Europe last time we played each other quite comfortably & we beat you again today despite fielding basically our reserves as i said earlier with a £90 million difference cost in teams

so imagine what we would do to you if we were on the same level financially??.. id love the chance to find out but i cant see the EPL ever allowing it as we would soon be a top 3 team every season which is more than can be said for the once mighty Liverpool.

So celtic fans give out about the evil EPL and sky sports hyping the **** out of it but yet the want celtic to join it.

Yet they forget what channel Celtic matches can be found on.

End of the day celtic are bar far the best team in an awful league. Liverpool are about the 6th best in one of the most competitive leagues in world.
Celtic supporters are rightly celebrating now after beating a far superior team.
Liverpool supporters would be doing the same after beating a Barcelona or Bayern Munich standard team.

EPL is not competitive in the slightest.

All you need is money and you can win it.

Shame Pats dont play Celtic in some sort of Dublin decider final :pac:

Don't be daft. Most Celtic supporters couldn't give a damn if the reserves beat a Premiership team in a friendly.

The reality is Celtic will be playing in the Champions league next season so are well used to playing top teams in Europe's elite competition.

Slightly tardy to the party but congrats celtic, deserved the win today. Liverpool bossed possession but ye took your goal well and defended well. Best of luck this season

Are you telling me Celtic wouldn't vastly improve with SKY TV money?

Top 3 initially would be optimistic but after a while there's no reason why they wouldn't be comparable to Spurs or Liverpool.
Take the current revenue streams ( adding on the tv money ), size of the support and stadium being filled every week and to say otherwise would be wrong.
