Celtic vs Spartak Moscow Discussion Thread

A'right there, fellas.

First of all, gotta say - JAAAAAAAAyzus, some of my countrymen posting here are a bit of an embarrassment.

Then, got some questions:

1. Ticketing. For games like this, would it be possible to buy a ticket for the away end on the gate? I doubt there are gonna be hordes of Spartak fans flying over for this one, given that my guess would be that quite a few are already committed to the England-Russia trip. How much are the tickets likely to be? 25-30 quid?

2. Pubs for away fans. Are there any designated for the purpose or does everyone just mill around in the pubs around the ground. My only previous experience of Celtic was Anfield 1997 and that was boss - great mixing in the pubs outside the ground before the match and some excellent sing-songs going on.

3. Places to stay. And cheap-and-cheerful hostels around the city centre? Only gonna be flying in for the night of the match, like, so just need somewhere simple to crash for the night.

Cheers, lads.

 

i hope scotish are not foolish
they understood allready

 

Lol, John... We don't have such a cities any more!)))
They are renamed to Volgograd and St.Petersburg. Your books are to old)))

Don't be so angry!

 

)))))))))))))))))))))))))))

 

Boooo! i have never seen such a disgusting use of power since Putin went wondering into the Arctic the other day

 

What I said several times no russian please becuase it could be anything u know ?

 

I see your sexual frustration has finally reached the surface in angry way

sorry gaffney,i didn't realise.I was merely hoping to build bridges with our Russian brothers

 

Hi, guys! I'm from Russia, and I'll be fan for you!
GO,GO CELTIC!!!
SM SUCKSSSS!!!

 

r u sure "you are NOT * *"?

 

Welcome to the site

 

to much politics, scottish brothers...let's talk about football.

I just wonder, what did you feel when Henrik decided to leave the team? I would be much upset... I was glad, when Celtic signed him, because I respect him from very old times and also like Celtic more than Rangers. I even bought a Celtic t-shirt with #7. Should I remind you the surname above the number?))))

 

ZENIT St.Petersburg FOREVER!!!!!

 

Yeah it was a sad time had a going away game and everything, but back on topic if you want to talk about that please make another thread thank you

 

Greetings from Russia, guys.

I see you got a little Russian invasion here and it's pretty sad. First of all, I'm not Spartak fan. Neither fan of Spartak's rivals. I have a bit of sympathy to your club, especially because one of my favourite players ever Henrik Larsson played there. And I know you got amazing fans, I saw you singing YNWA on YouTube, that's awesome.

Spartak is not an easy draw, but I think Celtic will beat it and make it through. As for me, I will support the team from my country. That differs Russia from other European countries as far as I know - the club-rivalry is not so strong as patriotism in sport.

Ok, so what does Spartak has now. It has goalkeeper of average european level. Stipe Pletikosa has pretty safe hands, but he won't make it the whole night on his own, if you know what I mean. Boruc is much better.

The worst line of red-whites is defense. I don't know if you have any real good dribblers, but it would be much easier for you to use them and not try cross-and-head tactics. Midfield is the strongest but not ideal. Egor Titov - yes, leadear, captain, you all know him. He has good sense of the field, can make a clever pass, but he doesn't have enough speed, so he often makes the attack of his team slow. Vladimir Bystrov was very good in the past CL. That's the person with the good speed. But he lacks thought in his game. Good run to the goal line and cross - that all he does usually. But * he is fast Dmitry Torbinsky is good at technics, still he is pretty young. Mozart was very bad at the first part of Russian season, his last 2 games was O.K.
Roman Pavlyuchenko is nice scorer. But he is unstable. Can make goal from nowhere.

That's it. If you have any questions - just ask.
Wish luck to those of you, who is going to make it to the Moscow.
And sorry for my stupid English

 

Yes it was a sad time but was happy when he went to barca as that was ateam that could get him a CL medal like he did but wish we could have another larrson
As for the other russians here, u seem the best and actually care about the match

 

and * 'bout zenit here?

 

No, thanks... I like this thread))))

I have another question, men)))
I wonder if any of you plan to go to Moscow's match? I've got an idea. We could organize good bowling contest just near the stadium. Celtic vs. FCSM))) What do you think?

 

Couldnt of had a worse draw, at home wont be a problem but goin away to Moscow and theyre top of the Russian league the * pitch wont help either

Hopefull we can scrape a nil nil draw over theyre and get them back at paradise

 

Jaysus yourself mate..How's it going?Your english is better than mine btw,

nah ye won't get tickets at the gate man.Not a chance.Prob about £35

No specific pubs man just mingle away.

As for hostels theres a Euro hostel near central station and one called Bluesky in the west end.Can't mind the names of any others tho

 

Hard draw, but if we don't make the CL its because we don't deserve it
