Celtic vs. Dinamo Zagreb, Thurs 2nd Oct, KO 8pm (BT Sport 1).

@Agram, how many Dinamo fans coming over for this? Heard around 500.

 

Yesterday I was on a futsal game where there were 1500 BBB so I talked to people about Glasgow and a lot said they will go but I dont think that many would go. I would say 350 maybe, and 50 bbb who are Mamic boys now.

I dont now if your police and club will make problems to them as everybody else does, including Salzburg now.

 

Will the Zagreb fans look to cause trouble on Thursday? The BBB aren't really half and half scarf types...

 

@Agram Dinamo have had a decent team the last few years but have finished bottom of their group in the last 3 European campaigns, any idea why they play poorly in Europe?

 

Not really, I mean all of them are ready for a fight any time if somebody offers them but they will not couse anything, not with Celtic fans or anything. If police handles them on a wrong whey then there would be some reaction for sure, but not to the fans.

Only way chaos can happen if 2 bbb groups meet.

 

O.. ...... k then

 

Good stuff

 

They had an okay team, but the mentality was awful, they were so scared and so confused of playing in the EL and CL that it was hard to watch. When they played solid european teams which were on the same level they would lose becaouse of stupid mistakes, and whey they played with the big boys they got raped every time.

Since then more then 20 players came to Dinamo, there heads are finally on the right place. This year Dinamo got a group that offers him a relistic chance to go throught. Celtic and Salzburg would be clear favourites if they were in their normal shape, but at this moment there is a chance to go throught. I cant judge them on Astra game becaouse it is the first time I watched Astra and I am not sure how good/bad they are. But wins against Rijeka away (after 4 years) and Hajduk away tell me they have a chance.

 

El Arbi Hillel Soudani is the one major threat Dinamo Zagreb have.

Wish we had signed him so much. Excellent player who scores lots of goals and gets lots of assists.

He did respectably well in Portugal in the same team as Amido Balde. Celtic were linked with him but that was all.

30 goals in 59 games at Zagreb, 18 assists.

Scored a hat-trick against Astra in the first Europa League group game.

 

Duje Cop isn't too bad either. 95 games, 54 goals and 16 assists.

El Arbi Hillel Soudani is definitely their main threat though.

 

* I thought when people said it was reasonably priced it would be £20.

 

Yeah, the front isn not a problem, Soudani, Čop, Henriquez, Wilson.
Also you will see that Ivo Pinto from the wing gives a lot of balls in the middle. And if there will be as much space as against St.Mirren that could be problem for Celtic. Good thing is celtic has height and good positioning in these situations, Astra was terrible at this, 3 identical Pinto-Soudani goals.

The back line is problematic, Guidetti would make a lot of problems back there, and I would bet he would score a goal in this game, his absence is huge for Celtic. We will see how Ščepović will play, watched him before he came to Celtic and I know what he is capable of. He did not show it yet so maybe this game will be the one for him. I dont think he will explode in this one but I think he might score a goal.

 

If you're not a season ticket holder you can get the 3 match package for £66.

 

So what if we made it with not spending money and didn't soend after it either they would turn up in there thousands!

As somebody said you'll see the difference come last 32

 

Fucksake man worried about a handful causing a bit of Agro!

If you do your resarch a lot of BBB actually follow celtic around Europe and have done since I can even remember a lot of our side don't like the fact they do as the lean to the right

 

I imagine any Dynamo fans coming over will have a hard time with police. BBB have such a reputation in Europe that the cops will just herd them around all night like they did with the Ajax lot.

If you're a Zagreb fan then it would be better to walk round on your own or in small groups and get a chance to actually see Glasgow, drink in peace and have a nice time.

 

If we could get a solid 2-0 out of this, it will give the team some amount of confidence.

 

Same here. Was severely * off after that tie and decided if the club isn't going to invest in the squad then why should I invest in the club? I already pay a fortune into the club on season tickets and cup games every season and I'm not firing an additional 60 quid into that to watch us play in a competition that I can't get excited for and which we shouldn't really be playing in in the first place.

 

Is gudetti injured ?

 

It was clear for all to see that the team needed investment after legia warsaw and we got two bites of the cherry and still * up. If we had beat legia and Maribor it could have been argued that the board's decison to not spend any money was the right decison but we didn't qualify and a major lack of ambition was shown. I can't blame people for not wanting to invest in that.
