This Real Madrid blogger’s footage of the Celtic support inside and all over the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium at full time last night plus the Bella Ciao footage of the Celtic “spectacular” Celtic support leaving the stadium is a joy to watch. Thanks to CarlJungleBhoy for the heads up…

Meanwhile the red-tops are getting up some stream about the litter that the Celtic fans left behind in Madrid, without pointing out that the Spanish Police were happy for the Celtic fans to gather in the Plaza Mayor and also that bins are not provided for security reasons in these large gatherings.
The Daily Mail, no less, are back attacking Celtic supporters after they got themselves into to water for their false, inaccurate and nasty reporting about the Celtic supporters outside the St Johnstone v Celtic match on Boxing Day last year.

They report today: ‘Celtic fans have been accused of leaving a landmark Madrid square looking like a rubbish dump ahead of their team’s 5-1 Champions League hammering. Spaniards kicked the visiting supporters while they were down on Thursday by describing the scene they had left in the Plaza Mayor as ‘terrible.’
‘Fans packed into the square in the heart of the Spanish capital in the run-up to Wednesday’s night’s match and spent the afternoon singing and snacking as they downed lager from cans they had brought from nearby supermarkets, convenience stores and street sellers.
‘And although there were no reports of any major public order problems, the mess the supporters left behind them appears to have made a lasting impression on their hosts.
‘Veteran diplomat Juan Manuel Molina said Madrid’s politicians should hang their heads in shame for allowing ‘drunken tourism’ to take over one of the city’s most emblematic monuments.
Another Spanish journalist, Juan Ignacio Barrero, added alongside footage of the lager cans, plastic bags and empty glasses littering the floor of the square: ‘Let’s just say that our Celtic friends didn’t leave the Plaza Mayor looking very nice.’
‘Regional TV broadcaster Telemadrid accused the Celtic fans of abandoning a ‘crime scene’ by leaving ‘hundreds of plastic bags, broken bottles and other “organic residue” resulting from the heavy consumption of beer and other alcohol, with its unmistakable smell.”
Tory rag the club should be contacting them regarding this and stop them from getting access to Celtic Park, one thing to be a Tory supporting newspaper but trying to find a way of demeaning the fans behaviour. They must have been hoping for the fans to be running riot and this was the best they could come up with
I’ve been wanting the fans to learn Bella Ciao! for years. It’s the best anti-fascist song sung around the world in a multitude of different languages but with the same meaning.
We should learn the proper bloody words. They aren’t hard.
End of rant.
Madrid’s to do list:
*Portaloos
*Extra shifts for street sweepers
*Less volatile policing
Was in the Plaza Mayor. Fans bringing drinks in because the local bars/ restaurants that surround it were packed with Celts. Doing an absolutely roaring trade for two days.
Some fans going around with bin bags trying to help clear up.
Not a hint of trouble.
