just back home from the game, hooper great performance, ambrose looks like a player , he strolled through it , one bad pass in the second half, but yes he is good, outstanding performance of the night, the green brigade, absolutely superb, thank you guys. one final thought when we or if we get to the final of this competition, DO NOT tell me that because you are a season ticket holderthat you deserve a ticket more than me. i don't have a season book but that is my fourth game this season, there was only 14,000 of us there tonight, and when it comes to the final dont grudge me a ticket.. shamrock

I'm a season ticket holder myself mate and i wholeheartedly agree with you that the fans making the sacrifices now when others aren't should be first in line to get a cup final ticket. I didn't make the game tonight as I was working. Whenever I can't make it I usually give my book to a mate so the seats not going empty. 14,000 is mega low, I mean I went to a UEFA cup game against Hapoel tel aviv during the week a few seasons back where we were already out and the game was meaningless and there was more than that. Hope we can get a good crowd at Hearts game in a few weeks.

Sorry dont agree? i understand why you are saying this but i have been a season ticket holder for a few years now. The reason for disagreeing with you is that i pay for every game whether i am there or not? so do you? you get to pick and choose your games that you can make.... now if it was away games you were talking about i would agree whole heatedly with you. I hope you understand my stance here i am not having ago but really i pay for every home game if i am there or not so in my eyes i deserve to be offered tickets for home games first or cup finals. Hail Hail scotiebhoy B

Cup games are not included in Season books so you are not paying for a seat at last nights game.

POST 2) Go to the games then.

I'm caught in two minds with this one. I do believe season book holders get the first option odds cup final tickets but I do believe Celtic should have a system when they can tell what season book holders go to the games and who is not and rickety should go to supporter who make it to the gamma first. I've been a season book holders for 24 years now don't miss a hone game and go to most away games that I can but when we played rangers in the league cup final Celtic said I did not get a ticket and when told I haven't misses a home game or cup game they said well we must have made a mistake we will put you on a waiting list . Which I never got a call. So my problem is people picking and choosing games they wish to attend . And supporter who show up for a midweek cup game against the small sides and attend all home games don't get a ticket because of some self proclaimed fantastic Celtic fan who goes to all the games ( well the once he want to go to ) gets tickets before fans who attend.

People talk of the money we should have next season after champions league money but without fans going to the games the revenue well be well down and rhetoric same supporter will be moaning we are not spending money.

Celtic finished second behind Barca for rhetoric second most loyal fans well we will be no where near that now.

Point taken about you paying for every game, i just feel a wee bit cheated that every season i go to the less than glamorous ties in the league and scottish cups. then when the finals come i dont get a ticket , simply because i dont have a season book or i'm not a member of a supporters club, same goes for europe, i was at helsinki, helsingborgs and benfica games , i wont be at barcalona game , no tickets . is that fair ??????????? shamrock

also mc geouch was also great playing down the right. yea i know not the best opposition in the world but the boy just walked past them

I am in the USA so watched the game live on Celtic TV. Ambrose is a star....as strong as Wanyama, very comfortable on the ball and picks a great pass. Very calming influence in the middle of the park.
MOM for sure on his debut.
Dylan, Forrest and of course Hooper were superb.

a wee word of warning to all you guys hoping to watch the game online tonight. celtic tv will be the host channel tonight because sly, espn bbc etc are not covering it. i tried to watch the dundee game on saturday , it worked for 5 minutes then a message appeared on the screen saying . we have new technology you are not a subscriber. and the picture disappeared. so it probably wont work. hence i am going to the game tonight.. shamrock {Ed007's Note - They are trying to close down all streaming sites.}

ed , do you know why we can't subscribe to celtic tv in britain. i would have thought that under fair trade laws celtic and any other team in the country should be allowed to sell their product online. why should i be forced to give my £15 a month to sly when obviously i'd rather it went to celtic. shamrock {Ed007's Note - It's all to do with the rules of broadcasting that cover the game.}

Ed i am living in Germany and paid 135 quid for the year and the quality of the games is shocking! Maybe they should spend time trying to make Celtic TV better for people who pay. Then they can look at stopping live streaming or whatever. Chanel 67 was a lot better.

Thats why it would be so much better if celtic could sell their own rights to games we would make a mint off it unfortunately all the other clubs wouldn't and for that reason they would vote against it but i think they do that in germany but dont quote me on it. another good thing they do in the states for most sports they keep games off tv mostly unless there's a full house then they sell the tv rights.

Tonights game is only on the OPEN ALL MICS on the BBC. Notice they are showing the Newco game on tv tomorrow night. Jk

I don't quite understand why so many people believe that Celtic would make so much more money if they had to broadcast their games themselves. Viewing figures are not as high as many people believe and how much do you think people would be willing to pay a month for a subscription that only shows a Celtic game once or twice a week as compared to a a website channel with 24 hour programming?

Watched the game online last night & yes it was celtic tv, no problems with it at all

Hi Ed007 good point on requesting the figures. The opening game of this season at hopme against Aberdeen was 91000, the away game against Ross County was 70000 and the away game against St Johnstone was 85000.

I just want to state though that I am not disagreeing that Celtic are one of the best supported teams in the UK, only trying to say that I don't see dedicated club channels as being such an easily viable option as many people think. I feel it would be a hard task to squeeze even more money from people who are already paying a lot of money for their tv packages.

Good morning bhoys and ghirls!

Hope all is well today, looking forward to the game tonight. Unfortunately can't make it up to paradise because of work but am hoping to catch the game on the Internet!
I see first row sports are showing it, may sound a bit silly but I've never watched a game over the Internet so it's new to me. What do I have to do? Does it involve signing up to a subscription or membership or is it simply a click and watch kind of thing? And what kind of picture quality is it?
Probably sound stupid asking all those questions so please don't mock too much lol! My computer knowledge ends at a game of solitaire so need it to be as easy as possible!

Hail hail

just click on the link but do not download any of the progs... you will get the hang of it... the picture can be reasonable or rubbishe, sticking all the time; hope you master it okay hh

Ed dont forget Canada, we are not the u.s if your adding us in. It gets me upset being grouped with u.s lol {Ed007's Note - Apologises mate, I know how you Canadians feel about that.}

No need to apologies just a wee dig lol, but a shout out would be nice we have a lot of hoops groups around.
