UEFA Cup Final Tickets

Celtic Fan Burns UEFA Cup Final Tickets

Today I got an email from a regular reader (FrankieBhoy67), he said he is a Glasgow Celtic season ticket holder. He said he had two tickets for the UEFA cup final which is next week, between Celtics’ arch rivals Glasgow Rangers, and Zenit St Petersburg of Russia. He included the image of his tickets (above) and said “I’d rather burn these than let 2 h** b****rds go to Manchester”. After a quick check of ebay I realised these tickets are changing hands for more than £1500 a pair. I thought he was only joking, and was shocked to check my mail after lunch and see this video of him actually carrying out his threat.


If your rival team was in the final would you be so upset you would burn tickets if you had them?
Rangers are on course to win the domestic treble, with an unheard of Quadruple if Walter Smiths’ team can safely get through next Wednesday night against Dick Advocaat’s Zenit St. Petersburg.

Please note - this video was submitted by a reader, before you send us hatemail we did not burn the tickets ourselves :D

If anyone else has any interesting footage from their games, or fans, or anything else please get in touch!

    What a tit. I don’t care either way, but £3000? If I was a Rangers fan I’d find that hilarious…

  2. AyeAyeAye on May 8th, 2008 8:30 pm

    Hm why’s the word “hun” shown with asterisks in it?

    Also it’s probably worth mentioning that a Quadruple is by no means “unheard of” in Scotland; Celtic won all five trophies they entered in 1966-67.

    Hahahaha! Quality stuff, the typical Hun perma-rage is just oozing out of Huns’ comments here! Anti-Football at the Facist Final. Two of the most racist, vile supported teams, St Petersburg and the Huns….match made in Hell

    Remember! Smoke creates carbon monoxide. Careful playing with fire or sooking on yer motor’s exhaust.

  14. clever one on May 9th, 2008 12:12 pm

    Course someone could just turn up at the stadium, say they lost their tickets, give the seat numbers shown about and might just get it.

  15. BlackOlive Gateaux on May 9th, 2008 2:18 pm

    Fascist final? A check of historical FACTS may be in order. Namely the Catholic Church harbouring Nazi war criminals and a Pope that was a member of the Hitler youth but why let FACTS get in the way?

  16. weemano on May 9th, 2008 2:19 pm

    and how old are you Mr happy???

    You remember it well i assume??

    GIRUY

  17. Jock Newitt on May 9th, 2008 2:19 pm

    Doyle in burning shocker.

  18. Johnny Doyle on May 9th, 2008 2:24 pm

    He’s not the first Doyle to go up in smoke that’s for sure.

  19. BPD on May 9th, 2008 2:26 pm

    Yeah mr crappy we’ll certainly give you a bell if we ever need any pointers on beating the likes of Rennes, FC Zurich, Dukla Prague and Vojvodina Novisad.

    No amount of bravado from you soapdodgers will disguise the pain and bitterness you are all feeling towards us right now, I just hope you’re all prepared for it to get much much worse.

  20. big jock the disgrace on May 9th, 2008 2:26 pm

    hahaha a tim saying no to money? aye tht will be right, it’s obvious these are printed oot from his computer!!

  21. Gerladine O'Neil on May 9th, 2008 2:27 pm

    I would have bought those tickets and then sold them so I could buy a nice big booze. Martin isn’t giving me pocket money these days so I can’t drink as much.

  22. torbet towers on May 9th, 2008 2:36 pm

    what a f***y.you couldny afford to buy tickets or did you get a crisis loan.you really are a bunch os soap dodgin c***s.manchester here we come.watp

  23. William on May 9th, 2008 2:40 pm

    Hi Frankie Doyle. How is Jonny? He has the tickets now . . . . hahaha.

    I often wonder where they would have been
    If we hadn’t have taken them in
    Fed them and washed them
    Thousands in Glasgow alone
    From Ireland they came
    Brought us nothing but trouble and shame
    Well the famine is over
    Why don’t they go home?

    Now Athenry Mike was a thief
    And Large John he was fully briefed
    And that wee traitor from Castlemilk
    Turned his back on his own
    They’ve all their Papists in Rome
    They have U2 and Bono
    Well the famine is over
    Why don’t they go home?

    INSTRUMENTAL

    Now they raped and fondled their kids
    That’s what those perverts from the darkside did
    And they swept it under the carpet
    and Large John he hid
    Their evils seeds have been sown
    Cause they’re not of our own
    Well the famine is over
    Why don’t you go home?

    Now Timmy don’t take it from me
    Cause if you know your history
    You’ve persecuted thousands of people
    In Ireland alone
    You turned on the lights
    Fuelled U boats by night
    That’s how you repay us
    It’s time to go home.

  24. davie coopers ghost on May 9th, 2008 2:48 pm

    66 dead huns. why couldnt there have been more? may every one of the dead bigots rot in hell.

  25. paddy mcgurk on May 9th, 2008 2:51 pm

    did you know that, rangers fans pickpocketed the dead at the ibrox “disaster” ?? stealing from the dead. how low can these huns go.

  26. Still Believing on May 9th, 2008 3:12 pm

    the last two comments just show how low celtc fans will stoop in trying to besmirch rangers fans.

    anyhoo, back to the story. what an idiot. as the saying goes, they are not normal people.

    lol, what a tadger!

  29. Willhelm on May 9th, 2008 3:50 pm

    What a complete twat, only in the world of the Rangers obsessed taig would this happen.

    These scrounging bassas ought to go and get jobs.

    PS The famines over, why don’t you go home scum?

  30. Willhelm on May 9th, 2008 3:53 pm

    Absolue scum Taigs are. Talking about dead football fans and mocking the deceased.

    Then again! they have to be the most evil terrorist loving scum on earth. The same people who mocked 9/11, supported the Argentinians during the Falklands and supported women and children being butchered by their terrorist heroes in Ireland.

    You will never be accepted in Scotland you scummy vermin.

  31. thekinks1886 on May 9th, 2008 5:03 pm

    Celtic willy watchers- FACT!

  32. bazza on May 9th, 2008 5:14 pm

    what a load of bitter f**kwits. Rangers and Celtic fans, both twats with an identity crisis…it’s like a comedy show, and what;s worse is f**kwits in Ireland supporting Celtic, a BRITISH team…oh the irony….support your local soccer team if you;re so patriotic. I had the (mis)fortune of being at a Rangers UEFA cup match years back . Never come across a more gorilla like racist pile of scum in my life…

  33. Jack Gough on May 9th, 2008 5:15 pm

    So much for “Sporting Integrity”, “Fair Play Award” and “The Greatest Fans In The World”.

    What a foolish piece of slime that guy is. We are laughing at you, trust me.

  34. gaz on May 9th, 2008 6:42 pm

    It’s pathetic that football has became this bitter. The old firm rivalry is brilliant for it’s passion, but there’s a line. One of my best friends is a tim and during an old firm we are enemies, when the full time whistle goes we are best friends.

    Those saying more huns should of died in the disaster deserve to rot in hell, those were innocent people who done nothing wrong and you should be disgusted you’d think this way about another human.

    and the rangers fans who the same things about celtic fans are just as bad. It’s a sad situation that some arseholes drag the reputation of scotland’s football to shame.

    It’s not rangers scotlands shame( as they’re still representing the country in europe).
    It’s not celtic scotlands shame ( as they are irish).
    It’s old firm biggots that are scotlands shame.

  35. Feni@n Scum on May 9th, 2008 7:03 pm

    Hahahahahahahahaha! What a thick arsehole. Didn’t even have the courage to show his face. 3K would have keep the prick in potatoes for life.

  36. lfcpaul on May 9th, 2008 7:39 pm

    ha ha, what did the stupid bastard buy the things for in the 1st place? its not like Celtic were ever going to be in the final. thats 2 weeks incapacity benefit up in smoke

  37. colin hamblett on May 9th, 2008 8:40 pm

    stupid thick taig, that was the equivalent of 3 months giro money…

    f t p

  38. sore head davie on May 9th, 2008 10:49 pm

    obviously the guys not short of a few bob, if he can afford to burn the tickets. two less huns at the final, get it right roon ye ya vile fascist morons. rangers have bored there way to the final, and will no doubt play in the same disgraceful defensive mnner in the final. the steau bucharest anti football tream that won the european cup in the 80s aint got a look in.

  39. srm on May 9th, 2008 11:31 pm

    why would you want to go to manchester anyway shithole of a town.love to see rangers do the quad sicken all the pseudo republican celtic fans here in ireland no end.

  40. Mojo on May 10th, 2008 11:40 am

    What an idiot. Just think what he will be feeling when he goes down and pick up his benifit cheque and realises he could have had £3k in his back pocket….

  41. Dave Dublin on May 10th, 2008 2:50 pm

    Idiot! Get over it you stupid bigot!

  42. David on May 10th, 2008 5:54 pm

  43. Declan O'Brian on May 10th, 2008 5:57 pm

    Some of our support are complete idiots, they have such an interest in Rangers that they actually become obssessed with them, more than there own team

  44. Gordy Lebleu on May 10th, 2008 7:41 pm

    The green eyed monster of the bheggars knows no bounds.” MARCH ON RANGERS, FOR EVERY DAY WE MAKE HISTORY, AND A GLORIOUS HISTORY IT IS ” See you all in Manchester my fellow bluenoses. WATP

  50. Bad bhoy on May 11th, 2008 10:17 pm

    When I saw the references to the death of former Celtic player Johnny Doyle I was filled with rage and vented my feelings by posting sbout the Ibrox Disater.I am now disgusted with myself for sinking that low and I wish to apologise for my sickening outburst.I know it is too late as I have written what I have written but again SORRY

  51. RICHARD GOUGH on May 12th, 2008 6:40 pm

    I SHAGGED ALL THE BOYS

  52. Yawn on May 12th, 2008 9:23 pm

    Rangers and Celtic football clubs are very shaky pegs to hang your self identity or national identity on. Maybe its time Scottish people woke up to the fact that they are letting two in reality “average” football teams poison their society to its core. Grow the fuck up Scotland - read a book or something FFS!

  53. up ye on May 14th, 2008 2:24 pm

    I’ll bet it was Strachan burning the tickets cos he coulnae be arsed watching a load o shite.
    Go on the wee man!!!!

  54. Tommy Gavin on May 17th, 2008 3:06 am

    Obviously the tickets were counterfeit, no one is daft enough to burn 3000 quid. Has anyone considered that he’s done it for the attention alone? Hail, Hail!

  55. Celtic Bhoy on May 21st, 2008 2:43 pm

    Oh the rangers are sh***! Messed up the quadruple, now theyv handed celtic the league, cheers lads ;) bottle merchants :D HAIL HAIL R.I.P, Tommy Burns (TRUE LEGEND), Y.N.W.A

Got something to say?
