Artmedia 5-0 Celtic
Author: EFC Date: 27-07-2005, 22:46	Must be the most extraordinary result ever in a qualifying round for the Champions League since the tournament started in the early 90s, at least as far as I can remember. Anyone remember a comparable result? Celtic out of Europe in August? They will be furious in Glasgow. How could Strachan have possibly had a worse start?

in my eyes, celtic will be almost bankrupt, they had already so many debts, and the stupid chairman and friends probably have calculated a lot of income from the champions league and now nothing

this is the best result ever for belgian football, belgium definitely will become again 9th

i know that genk, a seeded club has lost in round 2 with 5-1 against maribor in 1999/2000 and the return match was 3-0 for genk, just not enough, but you see, it is possible

Re: Artmedia 5-0 Celtic
Author: LevskiFan Date: 27-07-2005, 22:54	No...nobody was sent off.....lol shocking result indeed!!!Hope to see more results like that in futue...

Yes I remember the Genk result, but although it might be embarassing for a Belgian club to lose to a Slovenian side, Genk do not have the prestige and expectations of Celtic. If it was Anderlecht, then perhaps it would be more comparable. Still, I remember thinking at the time it was an amazing result. I remember Maribor then went on to reach the group stage by beating a French League side I think, I forget who, so obviously Maribor were stronger than most people realised.

Nobody was sent off tonight, but I heard Celtic had players carried off injured.

Sorry for starting another thread on the subject Red Star, but I just couldn't believe the result when I saw it!

Re: Artmedia 5-0 Celtic
Author: kurt Date: 27-07-2005, 23:09	you are right, maribor has beaten the top french team LYON, so maribor was very good, maybey this teams also beating a top team in round 3, hopefully everton

See my post in the predictions thread.

2-0 Artmedia "Celtic have been a shambles pre-season and as long as the opposition is decent it will happen".

Celtic were so ridiculous tonight you wouldn't believe it.

Lets look at some cold hard facts.

Their captain is an over the hill overweight 34 year old.
Their 2 full backs came from Southampton and Burnley wher they couldn't get a game.

What's left of their team from Seville is now pension age.

Rangers fans will be criticised for loving this.... but!

Rangers will pocket 3 million extra TV money should they qualify.
Rangers now need only 1 more seed to go before being in Pot 3.

Re: Artmedia 5-0 Celtic
Author: saltire Date: 28-07-2005, 10:03	nelster, correct - failure to invest at seville means inevitble decline. again correct we let our most valuable asset go...and signed a 34 year old on the contract he wanted - you couldnt make it up. 2 points.....rangers still have to win their qualification by no means certain that aside rangers are in with a chance of pot 3 due to us.

Re: Artmedia 5-0 Celtic
Author: nelster Date: 28-07-2005, 10:18	Correct Saltire, If Rangers draw Real Betis then it's 50-50. We need a good draw to be sure. Certainly I have a lot of faith in guys like Ferguson, Prso and Buffel. I honestly can't see any side living with Buffel. It's just a shame Artmedia Bratislava are seeded.

Re: Artmedia 5-0 Celtic
Author: SHEV Date: 28-07-2005, 11:03	Yeah, Artmedia will be awesome draw for unseeded team.

Author: sr_sofisticacao
Date: 28-07-2005, 11:11

Well, as long as Celtic is playing VERY BADLY, Artmedia could be a good draw to unseeded teams... but, if they smash Celtic 5-0, what can they do with other minor unseeded teams? Could they even be an upset to, say, Everton?
I only saw Celtic playing Sporting Lisbon and the game was a bit rubbish from both sides, but Celtic didn't seem a completely fragile team as this result suggests...
Anyway, doesn't anyone consider the possibility of a 6-0 in the 2nd leg?

Re: Artmedia 5-0 Celtic
Author: nelster Date: 28-07-2005, 11:21	Artmedia have lost 2-0 in Kazakhstan and have lost both league games without scoring a goal. 4 of their goals were simply a ball over the top or through a big hole for someoneto run on to. Only the 3rd goal was special, a volley from 25 yards. Celtic missed 3 80% chances, 1 of which was an open goal from 2 yards over the crossbar. believe me Celtic were hopeless.

Author: alexx Date: 28-07-2005, 11:51	I only hope Partizan will get Petrzalka in tomprrow's draw !

Re: Artmedia 5-0 Celtic
Author: SHEV Date: 28-07-2005, 12:24	Anyway Petrzhalka looking less competetive then any seeded team.

Re: Artmedia 5-0 Celtic
Author: Munja Date: 28-07-2005, 14:15	I only hope Partizan will score good result in Moldova. It would be a disaster to lose one team so early.

Hmmm...

Imagine...no scottish teams in CL, and just one in R1 and in R1 Rangers get Groclin, loosing the match and...WHOPS! Not scottish teams in EC...

I mean, we have seen worse scenario than this one before, havent we?!

If I would be Rangers fan, I would not be so sure about enetring Cl group stage. Let me remind You about the Celtic match yesturday...

And yes, Celtic have a good team, no question about it...

Best regards

guys,

we do not have a good team and have gone down/back a lot. The ONLY
thing i`d say is we have played 3 games so this was the first competetive game with a new team...but it dont look good
artmedia are a tidy but not especially outstanding outfit...wait till you see the goals we lost..division 16 defending

if i was getting them as the seeded team i`d be pleased although they deserve great credit as they played to win and did...ouch.

nelster
c`mon chap i`ve seen a lot of rangers and the problem is mcleish needs to pick the right formation or its no good.
Buffel is still good only in patches and Barry still needs consistency more.
but hey you have a better chance of qualification than us so i`d take that every day of the week

HUNGera....i love the wee smilies...makes me laugh through the tears

Re: Artmedia 5-0 Celtic
Author: Omero Date: 28-07-2005, 19:04	To people who saw the game... Artmedia is a good team? i mean is it just luck with celtic's poor preformance or they can really beat unseeded teams like Everton or Udinese...

Re: Artmedia 5-0 Celtic
Author: nelster Date: 29-07-2005, 10:12	They are average, no better than Hearts or Hibernian here in Scotland. And they have never hit 5 against Celtic! 4 of the goals were just ridiculous schoolboy stuff. They always had a man standing somewhere with no celtic player near him that they could play the ball to.

Re: Artmedia 5-0 Celtic
Author: maciosgh Date: 29-07-2005, 10:46	I hope Artmedia draws Wisla, the Polish media get fired up and then the score will be 6-0 on aggregate...Petrzalka's way of course Go Slovaks Go!

Re: Artmedia 5-0 Celtic
Author: pashke Date: 29-07-2005, 10:47	instead of Artmedia should be Kairat (Kazakhstan)... FYI: Kairat`s coach Petrushin was sacked cause of bad result in CL...

Re: Artmedia 5-0 Celtic
Author: walter-wade Date: 29-07-2005, 11:03	I remember many other surprises in the qualification rounds of CL such as the elimination of Metz by HJK Helsinki, Inter by Helsinborg, Newcastle by Partizan Beograd, Sparta Prag by Vardar Skopje...We can increase the number of these examples as well..

Re: Artmedia 5-0 Celtic
Author: cody86 Date: 29-07-2005, 11:50	Sparta Prague not be eliminated by Vardar.

Re: Artmedia 5-0 Celtic

Re: Artmedia 5-0 Celtic
Author: Jirka Date: 29-07-2005, 12:06	Sparta beat Vardar, but lost to Genk a year later. That was sad, but not a major surprise like the Celtic misery.

Re: Artmedia 5-0 Celtic
Author: MichaelCollins Date: 29-07-2005, 12:59	Dont worry, Celtic will win 2nd leg 6-0.

Re: Artmedia 5-0 Celtic
Author: kurt Date: 01-08-2005, 23:31	it is possible, anderlecht was leading at halve,with 3-0 and at the end they lost with 3-5 against werder bremen so, celtic can win with 10-0, but everybody is hoping that celtic looses again

Re: Artmedia 5-0 Celtic
Author: Kronsky Date: 01-08-2005, 23:40	I want to remaind You once again... 00/01 Real Zaragoza against Wisla Krakow. Real win 4-1 at home and was leading in Krakow 1-0 after first half. Real started to defend their lead and Wisla scored 4 goals and whent through to next stage. If Artmedia start to defend them selves from start, then I dont know what the outcome can be...

3 years ago Blackburn were leading 3:0 after 60 min. against CSKA in Sofia (first match in England was 1:1) they decided they have won the match. 20 min. lates in was 3:3 and Blackburn had all the luck on Earth not to be eliminated. I still believe that 5 more min. and CSKA would have scored a 4th goal. But I don't believe Artmedia will behave like the big farovite and allow any surprised. If they can survive the first 20 min. they are through.

Author: Ricardo Date: 02-08-2005, 09:33	I came back yesterday from a (well deserved) vacation and what a shock. 5-0. First I thought there probably eas a typo. Not so. But as Esbjerg also came back froma home defeat winning 6-0 away, I think Celtic can do it too! Though if Artmedia keep their head cool and play a bit like last week.....

Re: Artmedia 5-0 Celtic
Author: Dneprchemp Date: 04-08-2005, 09:49	Unbelievable... I didn't believe when saw this result. In 2004\2005 my Dnipro won in Bratislava against Artmedia 3:0.
