UCL Last 16: Celtic v Juventus Chat

Looks like they put on a good display before the match should be a great night for all our fans and players going and hopefully 2 great results!

 

Juventus and their fans think they will stroll this (most of them anyway), which suits us down to the ground. I love it when we're viewed as the underdogs.

No one expects us to get to the quarter finals, therefore, a lot of the pressure is off. No one expected us to qualify from the group either. We can go out there, give it a go, enjoy the experience, and see what we can do. It worked against Barcelona

 

I don't think Juventus themselves will, players like Andrea Pirlo have left Celtic Park one too many times with his tail between his legs, as has Buffon.

 

Looks a cracking stadium !!

 

Every big club in Europe and their fans think this though

 

Yip, good for atmo, noise, flares, bangers, banners etc, thats what football is all about

 

I love going into these type of games as the underdogs


Its going to be a tough task but we have the players to beat this mob

 

Fair enough. Still though, the optimism emanating from their fans is astounding, considering we've already proven this year that we're not just in the competition to make up the numbers.

I prefer it that way though, like I said before. It will make it even sweeter when we hammer them in Turin :bbpd:

 

Juventus are going to have to wear their away kit at home, unless we wear one of last seasons.

 

We've registered our Black & Yellow kit as our 3rd, Ant.

 

Flares and bangers aren't what football is all about.


I went to the games for long enough without any of that * and the atmosphere was just fine.

They might look good but flares are a serious fire risk and the CDSA have asked fellow supporters to knock the smoke on the head.

Flares already set fire to a seat at Ibrokes, I don't fancy that happening again at a match I'm at with my kids.

Sing all the rebel song you want but give the flares a miss and respect the CDSA where smoke bombs are concerned.


Edit.

Probably not the best thread for this :smiley-laughing002:

 

what makes this trip to turin so dangerous lol

 

Aw dear, my poor eyes having to look at that kit for 90 minutes! Someone just needs to do a trial run of the kits on FIFA and let us know how they get on haha.

 

Their home and our away shouldn't be too much of a clash I don't think.

 

Flares and so on were put on display only on the day of inauguration of the new stadium. Those things are banned during matchs same goes for firecrakers and bombs or rocks don't worry.
Unlike others the last season and this one juventus stadium never had bombs or so.

Cant wait for these games.. Was at both of the Barcelona games this year and can honestly say they were two of the best nights of my life.. Got a ticket for the nou camp easily enough, will it be the same situation in Turin?? Heard the tickets when we played in Milan in last 16 were relatively easy to come by too..

 

Confirmed Chiellini will miss both legs.

 

Any injury news for them is great news for us.

 

I would imagine that it would be difficult to get tickets over in Turin as the new stadium only has a capacity of 41,000 !!

 

Chiellini out is big, hearing they are * it and trying to sign someone in January!
