Celebrating Celtic Fan Attacks AC Milan Keeper Dida
By: Bob | October 3rd, 2007It was a dramatic and crazy ending to the Celtic-AC Milan Champions League tilt on Wednesday night in Scotland. After Scot McDonald gave the home side the lead in the 90th minute, a Celtic fan ran onto the pitch and celebrated by giving Milan keeper Dida a little love tap as you can see in the blurry video above. You can also see that it took a few seconds for Dida to remember to flop to the ground and simulate death. He was eventually taken away on a stretcher. My money says he will live.
The incident could have severe repercussions for Celtic. UEFA is going to investigate and they now face the possibility of having the game’s outcome reversed or they might get docked points or they might get booted out of the competition. All this time we thought it would be one of his own fans that would attack him out of frustration, but alas Dida was done in by a Celtic fan who might have cost his team big time even if his slap wouldn’t have felled a three-year-old.

We need to look up the word “attack” in the dictionary because this clearly wasnt one. It was more comical than anything. Attack, please…there are countries at war attacking each other. Lets not get carried away.

Shouldn’t Dida be charged with bringing the game into disrepute or of trying to con the officials? What a tosser!

Dida is such a tosser, i always hated AC Milan and Dida, and now this, lol… AC Milan and all Italian teams can go home already with their 11 defenders on the pitch at one time, play defense 99.9% of the time and bore the hell out of the spectators footballing style…

Right, because football’s highest purpose in existence is to be justified to Americans.

I love Clarence Seedorf’s reply to the tv reporter who asked how Dida was after the game, ‘He’s a little dizzy, but I think he’ll be ok.’

Personally, I think the only way Yanks would take football seriously is if they get a (male) superstar of their own and their men’s national team wins something really major. Dida isn’t nearly important enough to make the difference either way, but I may be wrong.
Though unfortunately, it ain’t just Americans who find this sort of thing deserving of derisive laughter. Commedia del arte, indeed.

Ahh, but you are all forgetting that Celtic’s supporters come from all over. This guy was obviously a visiting fan from the planet Vulcan, and gave Dida a short Vulcan Death grip - just took a few seconds to register with Dida’s brain before he collapsed.
The real tragedy would be if UEFA in their sublime ‘wisdom’ over-react and deduct points. If they do Celtic should appeal, and launch their own claims of cheating against Dida.Posted from

Total nonsense. They can’t ban Celtic at any level. They should ban Dida istead for his simulation.

. MILAN WON THE MATCH 7-0. STFU. dida would save every shot celtic took even if dida has no arms or legs and was blind. He will also take the ball out of the net in the return leg, dribble around the entire celtic team and score on them. Four times.
FORZA IL MILAN! OLE!

I think it is ridiculous. They say keepers get too much protection. If an opposing player did that to Dida within the match and he chased and fell, he would be carded.
I’m glad celtic have given the fool a lifetime ban, but no action should be taken on celtic. Dida’s fall should be looked at though.

Soccer is a fantastic sport one that every American kid grows up playing. Unfortunately faking injuries and taking dives in order to penalize the other team is common place at every level of the game. That is the main reason its popularity in the states is minimal. Most American’s will say they don’t score enough…but if u ask them what they think of soccer players, immediately they say they are pussies. Not because they aren’t great athletes, but because they fake injury’s to hurt the other team, which is a pussy move. Taking a dive to penalize the other team and having it actually work is ridiculous. Some would say acting is part of the game…well that’s a game no American wants to watch…a game where acting like a pussy is encouraged. If they changed the rules and said if u take a dive you’re banned for 5 games, the sport would change dramatically for the better. I think every soccer fan would agree, American or not, taking a dive is a pussy move…They should do something about it…Not to make popular in the states, but to make it a better sport.

”I’m not sure if this is true… Basketball players take dive’s all of the time, and I think it is still a popular sport here…. I still think it is due to the low scores.. although most like to see no hitters in baseball.. It’s confusing.

In addition to footballer of the year awards. We should have diver of the year. The sole purpose to embarrass the shit out of twats like Dida in front of the watching world.What a wanker

I’d think that any sane spectator would agree that the two parties rather disgraced themselves here, even if what transpired *was* comically sublime (or was it sublimely comedic?). That Americans specifically would disapprove is neither here nor there. I mean, football’s done pretty well for itself even without the almighty blessing of the U.S., no? Seems rather silly to rely on their moral approval as an incentive to tell you that fan aggression and blatant diving are bad for the game.

And they have banned the clip of the incident on youtube, hilarious.

Since when did hugs cause mortal wounds?
PS: Well done Dida’s acting coach! The fall could’ve looked worse though. Work on that.

From the video, it looks like the fan cut Dida’s neck with a knife. So why talk about it as if it was just a slap?
Posted from
United States -
Oh yeah pdb. He sure cut him with a knife. Would that be the invisible handle he’s gripping with his open palm?
I guess UEFA shouldn’t talk about it as just a slap either having not punished Celtic and then suspending Dida for cheating…
Gotta love these goons who come on and make stupid comments like that, acting like they’re shocked because they somehow contrived to figure Dida was stabbed in the neck, and everyone else saw what really happened. No blood came out (because Brazilian skin now works like an auto-band-aid), an ice pack was applied to his head (to a spot the fan’s hand never reached) and yet a stabbing it was.
Good Lord lol.
