Syteanric 1 Posted July 24, 2012 in a pre season friendly no less!!!!!Lets all over hype a game which is nothing more than a learning experience and chance to try new formations etc....I could understand if we were a non league Scottish side and it was the cup... but we are a top flight English side in a game that doesnt really matter against an average team in a league much poorer....If we get to the cup final i fear mass hysteria!all this tweeting, photos etc just makes us look like a little club happy to be mixing it with the "big boys"will we be doing the same when Ajax come to town?

Syteanric 1 Posted July 24, 2012 lets be honest Mr B it is all a bit silly for a game that''s no more than a friendly isn''t it?if it was a European tie then fair enough.. but come on... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Brownstone 0 Posted July 24, 2012 It''s not because anyone thinks Celtic are Real Madrid. It''s out of respect for set of supporters that made a massive journey on a school night to honour the loyalty of one of our players. A set of supporters that I''m sure any City fan in attendance that night will agree, were a cut above the rest. Football doesn''t just have to be about rivalries. Cheer up you miserable sod.

I can see the point the OP is trying to make, however I can''t see that Norwich or Celtic saw the match as anything but a pre-season friendly and after the amazing spectacle that was Adam Drury''s testimonial its hardly surprising there was a lot of interest in this game.

Oz Canary 0 Posted July 25, 2012 Jas, understand what you were trying to depict with your post however lighten up mate. The game was nothing more than a friendly and hopefully another string the to burgeoning friendship between our two great clubs. Relax !!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jim of the Fens 0 Posted July 26, 2012 Went to a match at a ground that I had never been to and probably never will again, where is the association?I have seen Norwich play at probably 100+ grounds over the years, does that mean I am ''associated'' with all them too?

Guest Posted July 26, 2012 Yes, I think that pointing out this was a thread deliberately posted to wind up fellow fans who were enjoying themselves was fairly acceptable. It''s not the first time either, so what is your problem with that exactly? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shankslad 0 Posted July 26, 2012 Seems to me the OP is jealous at the thought of people actually enjoying themselves, that some people actually LIKE each other and like to share some time and fun together. The association newly formed between Norwich and Celtic is not between the clubs but between the fans and the individual standings of each club in their respective leagues does not matter. The pre-season friendly was organised just as much for the fans benefit as the teams. It gave an opportunity for like spuirited people to join together for enjoyment. Although Scottish football is not what it used to be I remember that Manchester United were NOT the first British Team to win the European Cup and in recognition of their history and achievements it''s a privelege to play Celtic at Parkhead. Especially in such an atmosphere of mutual respect and cammeraderie. Big time EPL playing lowly Scottish club? Behave yirself!!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
albacanary 6 Posted July 26, 2012 Living in Scotland and following a ''provincial'' spl team I have no love for the old firm, but the night was great, I met new friends, exiles living here in Scotland and got the opportunity to see my home town club that normally I find really difficult to get to see due to distance and cost.Hopefully this will be the start of getting the scottish canaries up and running for away trips to the north east and west of EnglandCeltic fans were very friendly and our fans were brand new, fantastic in the corner. I had a great night. cannot wait to Newcastle away Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
