Great result for Celtic and Rangers this week. Regarding the Dida incident i belive we deserve a fine for the idiot getting on the pitch, the stewards and police have let the side down there. However as some other people have commented it was a magnificent result and 1 stupid fan has got carried away, there was no malice in his 'attack' (as the press would lable it) on Dida and seemed to me more like a banterous wee tap. Ban the supporter? yes, he should no better. Fine the club? Yes, the fool should not have been on the pitch and we can all accept that, but any punishment more severe would be unjust and could encourage oscar contenders like Dida to behave in such a deplorable way in the future.

There is no way I can condone the actions of the individual who ran on the pitch last night. In the bar where I was watching the game, to a man the feeling was outrage at the thug. I hope that when he climbed back into the stand he was left in no uncertain terms about how acceptable this behaviour is at Celtic Park. I would also urge anyone who is reading this page not to get drawn into a debate with Euan the Rangers fan about Celtic's inability to control their fans. I think looking at the Archives of this or any other sport website should adequately document the hypocracy fo the man. Finally...Dida! It says so much for a person that he has the mind set to immediately calculate the repercussions of acting as though he had been beaten to a pulp. It is so disappointing - time and time again Celtic park is full on European night and all too often this is what we see from our guests. My big worry is that UEFA pander to the bigger clubs. Milan have done everything the can to distance themselves from Dida without calling him a cheat. lets hope at the inquiry they listen to Clarence Seedorf who said that "Celtic fans are some of the best in the world...."

I agree with the Celtic fan Finbar's comment: "a good win but spoiled by a thug I hope we get a ban or have to play a game behind closed doors". Just think how bad it would have been if the goalie HAD been injured - i.e. the thug could have been holding anything in his hand. Also the two Sky 1 commentators, Charlie & Jim were out of order - they were going on about the goalie "diving" and they could not have known at that stage for sure if he WAS injured or not. We in Scotland shouldn't be putting up with this behaviour - what an embarrassment to all of us, not just Celtic fans. Strachan should also have a bit of humility - he is just too glib with his comments about "gossip columns" etc. and he could at least have said he hoped the goalie was OK.

It was a very poor Liverpool performance last night which was totally lacking in pride and desire. We do though have enough ability to rescue the situation and qualify for the knockout stages. It will require the players to show pride, and Rafa to use more care with team selection, but Besiktas can be beaten home and away, Porto don't travel well, and Marseille were made to look better than they are last night. I predict 10 points from the last 4 games. come on you Reds!!

I have been on to alot of these fans forums and debates and there is alot of rangers fans pretending to be hoops fans saying celtic should be deducted 3 points . for what an idiot giving dida a little tickle.

A serious over-reaction by most people on here regarding the Celtic fan. OK, he was wrong to jump on the pitch, but come on ban him for life? His team had just recorded one of the best results in their history, he let his excitement get the better of him. There was no aggression, just joy at what his team were about to achieve. Celtic fans are renowned for their passion, this is bound to happen from time to time. Dida should get the ban.

Well done to Arsenal for their great start to the season and if they keep the spirit and their team work together,They will be at the top.

Just to re-iterate the opinion of most of the countries proper football supporters, Whilst there is no excuse for the idiot who ran on the pitch at Park Head last night, Dida the AC Milan Goalkeeper should also be severely punished for brinking the game into disripute for an unpresidented and embarrassing display of ridiculous play acting ever seen in sport! I can only think the ice bag was for tooth ache and the stretcher was because the poor guy was tired. "What a joke". Ban him, there's no room for that kind of behaviour in Football (Is it no strange coincidence he has been involved in a similar incident previously!)

Congratulations to Celtic on a deserved win last night. Lets hope that sense will prevail with regard to the Dida incident. Yes the fan should not have been on the pitch, but Dida's actions were disgusting. He is trying to con Celtic and con UEFA. If UEFA are convinced by his terrible acting it could have serious consequences for Celtic on and off the field. This goes beyond trying to get a player booked. He is trying to get a whole club in trouble over a incident, which in fairness should not have happened, but will not leave him with any short or long term problems. If he needs to be strechered off after getting a little tap on shoulder/neck then maybe he shouldn't be doing goals for a top club like Milan. One of those balls might do him serious damage. Fine at the most for Celtic. Dida should take the rest of the season off to recover from his traumatic attack. 'Mon the Hoops.

dida should be ashamed of his behaviour this cheat culture is rife thru the sport these athletes now fall to the ground at a touch that would not knock over my 5 year old. problem is it is condoned by the lack of action taken against perpetrators. if dida was banned for the remainder of the champ league games do u think he would attemp such foolishness again. there was a silly penalty decision also and one attemt at falling to the ground to kid the ref into giving a pen. why dont we start calling it cheating as that is whats going on. call a cheat a cheat and maybe people wud refrain once they are labeled apropriately look at the difference in drogba since he came clean.

Enough is enough.... It is time up for all these Italian clubs who have dragged the "Beutiful Game" down to its present low level. Dida was the final straw in a long list of blatent cheating by supposedly top drawer Italian footballers. Lets see some red cards for simulation and stamp out this deviation from the real game.

It has been a great 4 or so weeks for Scottish football, the national team beating France in Paris, Rangers amazing victory in Lyon and Celtic beating Milan last night. However the idiot who ran on to the park last night has brought some disgrace to our game, Fair enough Dida made a total meal of it but if you look at uefa sanctions that have been handed out over past few years Celtic are in deep deep trouble and surely uefa can¿t go easy on Celtic for this. Inter Milan got a massive fine, kicked out the champions league and forced to play 4 games behind closed doors a few years back for the infamous flair attack and more recently Denmark got fined, forced to play there games away from Copenhagen and Sweden were awarded a 3 nil scoreline for the tie when a Denmark fan tried to kick a Swedish player. Although this incident is no where near as serious I do hope Celtic get a strong punishment for failing to control there fans.

Saw the Celtic fan incident and thought Didi made hit best dive of the game, but that wont stop UEFA coming down hard on Celtic for the action of their fan. Can see a heavy fine, points deduction and the rest of this season European CL games played behind closes doors for Celtic, as a punishment from UEFA, shame Didi cant be hit with a simular punishment for cheating.

John Ingamells (Hull City fan) says...
Having watched the dida incident i think it sums up the nature of some lengths of cheating certain footballers will go to. Yes it is wrong to enter the field of play and i am sure that uefa will punish celtic, as well as celtic banning the 'supporter'. Yet, dida should also receive punishment for cheating and deception. It endorses everything that is bad about gamesmanship and cheating from footballers at the highest level. In the heat of that moment, dida seems to have calculated a chance to void the game and retrieve the points. Shame on dida, shame on football! john ingamells, 04/10/07

If your going to complain about Dida then at least get his nationality right. He might play his football in Italy but he is Brazillian, dont be blaming Italian football for him! Celtic should get fined for not having security tight enough to prevent the pitch invasion, instead of an idiot with a tao on the neck it might have been a madman with a gun. But Dida should be severly punished for faking an injury and impersonating a keeper.

Terry Moir (Coventry City fan) says...
Look at the video footage - whilst in now way condoning the actions of the idiot who ran onto the pitch - he hardly made any contact with the keepers neck/face - in fact it was more of a stroke on the chin. The keeper initially starts to run after him, no doubt to catch him, but then realises what has happened and decides to use it to his advantage (points deducted, disqualified etc) so he falls to the ground like a sack of potatoes. It would have been more believable had he immediately fell to the ground - it's the keeper that should be under investigation.

for the first time in a very long time, i was appalled by liverpools performance. i reallt do not understand why there was no passion or desire on the pitch!! i also believe however that rafa's constant rotating, the players and even the fans are becoming constantly frustrated!! first of all, with forwards like torres, crouch, voronin, kuyt and babel, we shud be scoring for fun!! our midfield is also strong with the likes of gerrard, alonso, sissoko, benhayoun etc. fair enough all the best players cant play everyweek, but then again, didnt jose play his best players week in week out? there should be a same line through the team which consists of reina, carrager, gerrard and torres! the first name on that team sheet must be gerrard!! the whole world knows that gerrad plays best in centre midfield! but rafa doesnt seem to! i really respect rafa and believe he is a very, very good coach, but, he must stop this nonsense of rotating all the time!! i truly believe if it carries on, in due time the fans and board may turn against him!

No way should celtic pay for some idiot's reaction, but in all fareness it only looked like a tap (and dida's face didn't even seem to be struck). Oh.... I think that Dida really stands a chance for next years grammy awards!!
