Celtic v HJK Helsinki - Wed, 1 Aug K/O 19.45 - Live on Premier Sports.

Anyone know the attendance? Checked the reports on BBC and Sky Sports and neither of them have it.

 

Somewhat unrelated but... I find it funny that now a lot of you are saying Brown isn't very good when last season most of you were defending him from Butch's comments. Maybe he has a point being pessimistic? Our performance today was only good in the first 15 min. and when we had to do catching up and that's not very convincing.

 

Good game... Hjk fans crazy * lol

Mulgrew awesome Wanyama (must not sell)
Forrest, matthews, commons all played well i thought
Sammy nice assist but some dodgy play.

My opinion only go easy on me i think our team
functions better without brown in it.

my 6 yr olds first european game he loved it
even though i caught him flippin the bird in the direction
of the away support. Good game good goals shame we couldn't
get just one more


Just hope we can follow it up in the return leg

 

He was not very good today.

there is a difference.

 

@AlisonRobbie: Official attendance at #Celtic tonight - 52,849.

She is a journalist for Radio Clyde so it should be accurate, then again Radio Clyde....

 

Well done to the supporters 2night for attending in great numbers

 

Indeed, I love that moment when I see a half empty stadium then have a read of my programme for ten minutes and when I look back up.... Boom! Full crowd, that's when I know it's time for battle

 

I felt he played today as he's always played - just average. But I will admit there were times last season where he did play well. However, most of the time, he is just average and we have a lot better MFs.

 

Bit of a contradiction there

 

Brown was outstanding tonight. We were unlucky not to win by more goals. Will be tough next week. Hope we can keep it tight at the back.

 

Brown was very poor mate.

 

A thought brown was not bad

 

Brown was decent nothing more , Joe Ledley was fantastic we would be much better with him and Kayal in the team.

 

Brown wasn't a stand out for me thought Ledley had a better game.

Ledley and Matthews my standouts

 

He was nowhere near outstanding but I dont think he was poor either, but for a decent save he could of put us 3-1 up.

In terms of general play though I've seen better from him.

 

See the supporters who leave early they are really starting to do my head in 10min to go and the team are pushing for a third goal and the stairs are full with people heading home. You go to support the team for the full 90min not * 75-80min and no one start saying its to avoid traffic because thats the biggest load of * ever doesnt matter if you leave early or not you always get stuck in traffic after the football. After getting that off my chest i was very pleased with the performance though shame that mob got the away goal though still confident we will go through.

 

Its the people who leave when the board with the injury time goes up whats the point you will be 1 or 2 cars in front of where you'd be if you stay

 

Don't understand it myself either but you get it at every stadium.

Paradise must have been at least 50k tonight, never gonna be sold out in summer time when it's against poor opposition but a good turnout I thought.

 

I left as the announcer said 3 minutes added on. My bird said she gets a bit panicky when everyone leaves at the same time and there's no room to move. She had her son there too so I wasn't going to complain at that excuse. I don't see the problem with people leaving on 88 minutes or more tbh. You do beat the people leaving and you do beat the traffic. Even leaving at 90 minutes tonight I noticed a difference.

 

* the traffic it's Celtic.
