Celta Vigo

Our great Galician Celtic cousins Celta Vigo are on a great run in the Spanish second division, 4 wins in a row 3 pts off the leaders Jerez who they play on the week end, all this after losing their first 3 games of the season and being last, so lets hope Celta return where they belong in the Spanish first division

 

They used to be a cracking team , strange things have happened in spanish football in the last few years but

 

yes like those 2 great nights in the Uefa cup Celtic v Celta , wonderful memories

 

I'm rooting for Jerez !!!

Sherry in Spanish, of which I drunk copious amounts in sevilla :icon_mrgreen:

 

Is a good team, they beat my city, Zaragoza, 2-0 in a good match.
Real Zaragoza is going to La liga... Ayala, Diogo, Zapater, Oliveira, Ewerthon... :icon_mrgreen:
Its hard anyway second division here, any small team can beat the first, The first 14 teams are in 7 points, with 21 games to play.

 

have to say I have a soft spot for celta too!

 

I didn't even know they where in div2, *! thought they was a top 8 la liga side..

 

They had a bad season a couple years ago and they didnt make at first try to go up, I think this year they are gonna make it. It happens sometimes in La Liga, a bad year is going to second division. Zaragoza, Celta, Sevilla, Betis, Atletico, some years ago... all tried the flavour of being relegated

 

but were cheated by other teams year we were relegated

 

Celtic cousins? eh?

 

Neither was i mate ,surprised at that .

 

Galicia is a Celtic land , many Celts who arrived in Ireland cam from Galicia, it is why the team is called Celta

 

Was at the Zaragoza v Celta Vigo match a few years ago, great city and very friendly people am hoping to go again in May for that match again, maybe see you there?

 

Not my favourite Spanish side, Barca or Betis for me

 

Quite like Celta, there are some big big sides in that 2nd division now. Zaragoza, Celta and Sociedad.

 

Of Course, I can give you a city tour and watch the match, get in contact by private, dont doubt it. It probabily would be a great match, with both fighting for get first division
Yesterday Celta lose 2-0 vs Xerez, the 1st one, away

 

Mira, un maño. Bienvenido :bbpd:

 

Gracias, llevo poquito por aqui:bbpd:

 

Surprised by this ,what happened to them,i can see one maybe having a dire season ,but the 3 of them ?

 

I think with Celta and Sociedad it is money, and some dire mistakes appointing managers
