Lansdowne Road


And if it was in a more working class area it might have 4 stands

Wasn't in Glasgow but Gelsenkirchen is as working class German as you will get, excellent stadium and not a bother in the home end.

The Scots fans were very good from when they scored but all they did was boo for 75 minutes before that.

I was in the away end and didn't experience any of these issues about the ground. Ticket presented and outside cordon,  like they do at Lansdowne,  ticket through the turnstile and then at the entrance to the stand. All standard. Stewards were really polite,  enjoy the game and all that. Helpful when looking for the food counters etc. 

Dissapointing to hear about the abuse lads getting in the home end. Would be reasonably confident it wouldn't happen in Dublin.

Their support wasn't up to much at all imo.
We chant Aiden McGeady, they all boo.
We sing the fields of Athenry, boos.
We sing just can't get enough, more boos.

Obviously the place was hopping after they scored but they're probably a lot like ourselves that way. Great away support but sh*te home supporters. Standard enough really.

I couldn't care less about our anthem or our players being booed or general hostility from the Scotch. That's what they should be. It's not rogbee.

Celtic Park is one of the few modern grounds in Europe (ie 75% of it built in the last 20 years) that can still produce a proper atmosphere. I don't go to a match to buy popcorn or hot dogs.

Organisation was a fooking joke at the Lisbon Lions end though, it has to be said, particularly on the way out.

Yes, we were fairly poor on Friday night.  Strange atmosphere.  Workday, different stadium, tense atmosphere.  Really think it would've been different if it was at Hampden but like yourselves you'll see a different Tartan Army in Dublin next year.

the bad organisation is probably down to the fact that 75% or more of the attendees are not used to Celtic park layout and the stewards were the SFAs not celtics. also for folks complaing about the sh*tehole surrounding Celtic park have a word with yourselves it wasnt an affulent area when Brother Walfird started the club and up until the recent commonwealth games the east end of glasgow has not seen much regeneration!
