Fair play, they came to win and gave us a right scare at one stage. Great two games.

If we were watching games like that every week, there’d be a few boys wouldn’t last the whole season upright

 

[johnto]

Good amount of respect being shown

 

[baxter93]

Some of their players couldn’t get of the park quick enough

 

[JayDee]

Fair play to RA for being decent about it.

 

[Loud and proud]

Antwerp helped make it two good games, plenty goals makes for entertaining games.

@Gazrfc what are their fans giving it?

[AnglianBear]

If you get a chance folks, have a look at their timeline tonight. Full of respect for us.

 

[coinflipper]

It was a well fought contest, don't think I can remember a tie with as much action as this one.

 

[bluenosebazza]

Theres still the expectation from most fans that because we play in Scotland we'll just be a big, strong, kick and rush style team.

Then they see us play.

 

[Wilbour]

Fair play , they never gave up.

 

[Bradbo88]

So refreshing to play against a football team that wants to play football.

 

[Clicker]

Sportsmanship from Royal Albert.

 

[Blair bear]

That photo of their captain and Alfie, that’s when he stopped playing due to the injury, captain came over and shook his had.Respect to Alfie, just don’t do it again.

 

[Michael Mols]

Been a brilliant couple of games to watch.

 

[Barrymoped]

2 teams both going for it in both games.

Id obviously prefer us to be a bit better at the back but it must have been brilliant to watch for the neutrals.

 

[Spiderman]

Up the RA!

On second thoughts mibbe no.

 

[Captain_Buns]

Cap doffed

 

[Stuhercules]

Some difference from the spfl dross with their 10 men behind the ball crap. Really enjoyed both games.

 

[HMS.Temple.Garden]

They had their moment when they were on top.

they had me uneasy over both legs!

 

[VelvetOrange]

Le Marchand was a prize prick and should been red carded a couple of times. The whole team werent shy when it came to taking someone out.
Overall though the were a good opponents in a classic cup tie - and i wasnt sure we'd get it done til our 4th.

 

[dixonofdockblu]

Thank you and good luck in your league campaign.

 

[tod1872]

Two very exciting matches. Thank fook we won them

 

[mark hateley]

They certainly had us worried.

If they are one of the top teams in Belgium we should be proud.

 

[Davieblue1977]

They came and tried but the bears stood firm

 

[Walkers Loyal]

What photo mate, have’t seen it as I’m not on social media. Any chance of posting?

 

[CoopBlue]

Can we play you
Can we play you
Can we play you every week....

 

[BonessBear90]

Best of luck to them. They came and tried to beat us, so much more respect for a team that tries to play.

 

[Helensburgh True Blue]

I hope he doesn’t do it at Parkheid.

[tinkers70]

the 2 games were brilliant viewing. Fair play to them with that tweet

 

[Suttonger]

Had a look on their fans forum, not really much credit for us more about them giving away 4 penalties over two legs and gift wrapped mistakes which without them would have been closer apparently.

 

[subversive_bear]

If you get a chance folks, have a look at their timeline tonight. Full of respect for us.

Mutual respect between the fans in acknowledgment of a fiercely contested and open tie. A refreshing change from the usual odious jelly & ice cream/Zombie patter we are subjected to in Scotland.

What is this referring to mate? Just finished work so haven't seen the game yet.

 

[Bluenose68]

Yeah, as a 52 year old, I'm struggling to remember such an entertaining 2 legged tie as the Royal Antwerp tie. Was fantastic viewing and I certainly feel very privileged to have watched it. It takes 2 teams to make such an entertaining game so Antwerp can take scant consolation for providing half of it.

 

[JD1872]

To be fair to them I thought they caused our defence all kinds of issues in both games

Are they Ce"":c in disguise?

 

[Bluethruandthru]

Fair play to them, we kept slapping them down but they never stopped coming back for more. Respect for that.

 

[Scaramanga]

Some of their players couldn’t get of the park quick enough

A few of them will be having nightmares about Morelos tonight, waking up in cold sweats checking under the bed to make sure he’s not there

 

[VMS]

They are a very good team

 

[SouthCoastLoyal]

celtic fans on social media saying that we only won because antwerp are crap, but Antwerp beat Tottenham 1-0 in the group stages in October:

[Kingsparkger]

Antwerp are a very good team who you know won’t get any credit in our press. Hard as nails and had a right go at us.

 

[Biggus Dickus]

Is that us won the Belgium title now?

 

[bluenosebazza]

Is that us won the Belgium title now?

If we had knocked out Brugge next round i think we got to keep Belgium but they went out tonight.

They fell on their own sword

Our Brand is getting bigger and bigger

Alfie put the ball out when one of their players pulled up with an injury
