I am sure the Villa have got something in mind to support Stan's foundation but all revenue received from the Malaga friendly could go there perhaps?
It would have been nice to see villa play celtic in a game up there as a benefit , but we certainly wouldn't be looking to play it in September.
Was hoping we'd have one at Villa Park, shame I won't be able to attend being as it's up there.
Does anybody know if there is going to be a facility set up (tweets, txt, phone,bank no.) for anybody watching who wants to donate as well? Just thought, what an opportunity.I guess they will have a number at the bottom of the screen and the advertising boards will be giving it plenty.

If you asked most people for their list of football’s good guys then John Terry would probably not be a name that would figure.
Great player, courageous defender, captain, leader, legend if you are a Chelsea fan.
But a string of off-the-field scandals, feuds, alleged affairs, rows and arguments – plus those cringing pictures in full kit celebrating the Champions League after being banned in the final – leave his reputation more than soured for the rest of the game.
Talk to Stiliyan Petrov, however, and a different picture emerges.
When Aston Villa’s former midfield star was first diagnosed with acute leukaemia, Terry was the first rival Premier League captain to get in touch and wish him well.
And today the Chelsea star will underline his commitment to support Petrov’s recovery by flying to Glasgow to play at sold-out Celtic Park in support of his charities.
Petrov, currently in remission and planning to play at least part of the match himself, wants the world to know the softer side of a man who has become the game’s pantomime villain.
The Bulgarian said: “Before I was ill I knew John only from shaking hands before kick-off in matches, and as a fierce competitor.
“We had also met and talked at the meetings the Premier League hold for captains before the start of each season.
“But from the moment the news came out about my illness he was one of the first to get in touch and he has carried on being supportive ever since. He doesn’t always have an easy time with the fans, but I have seen a very different man to that image.
“He has gone out of his way to encourage me at different times – always sending messages and texts while I was going through treatment, even though sometimes it might have been a month before I felt strong enough to return them.
“When I was planning this game he was the first to sign up. I rang and asked if he could take part and he just said: ‘Tell me when and I’ll be there. Who wouldn’t want to play in the atmosphere of a sold-out Celtic Park?’”
Petrov’s courageous fight against leukaemia has drawn backing from players and fans from every club in the country, and the 34-year-old is now trying to put something back having launched his own ?cancer charity.
And he admits he’s humbled by the response to his match which features a Celtic XI against a Stiliyan XI – with a line-up that includes singer Louis Tomlinson from One Direction.
He said: “It definitely helped the ticket sales – I doubt we will hear the referee over the screams from the girls!”
Petrov starred for Celtic in a seven-year stint at Parkhead which included a UEFA Cup final in 2003.
“It is emotional for me knowing how many people will be there, and I am looking forward to meeting up with some of the people I played with during my time at Celtic because they were great days,” he added.
“We had a terrific group of characters who knew when to laugh and when to work and I have amazing memories of reaching the UEFA Cup final and all the other success we enjoyed.
“I don’t know how I will react – I hope I don’t cry.
“I haven’t cried ?all through these hard times so ?I don’t want to start now.”
Fair play to Terry, support from unexpected sources at a time like that will really have given him a lift. Just shows that there is more to people than the almost cartoon like caricature that we often get presented with.
He will do anything that will keep his name in public domain. People like Terry do not see difference in good or bad it's all the same to them as long as self preservation is achieved.
And in contact all through his illness,no bandwagon jumping here.He will do anything that will keep his name in public domain. People like Terry do not see difference in good or bad it's all the same to them as long as self preservation is achieved.
Playing in a charity match on a Sunday afternoon is hardly going to get him banner headlines. He doesn't have to do it, he's doing it and it might raise a few more pounds for the fund.

Did I just spot MON in the Celtic dressing room?
All very much about Celtic rather than Villa, obviously not that this is the point of the whole thing i suppose.
I really need to clean the house, got some dust in my eyes.
Fair play to John Terry, he's gone up in my estimation for this. He is, however, still a knob.
I'm not intending to bring any celtic-rangers debate into this but the boos for Cuellar are pretty pathetic given it's a charity match.
Fat Baz coming on soon. Despite the age of some of the other players he will be the slowest person on the pitch.
It's nice to see a charity match with Robbie Williams nowhere near it.
All sorts attach themselves to live on TV charity matches just to show their "human side "It's nice to see a charity match with Robbie Williams nowhere near it.
And that twat who also does them with him, that little shadow of his that follows him around, Jonathan something.
Oh and Ralf Fucking Little.
So how many ex and current Villa?
Lambert
Gabby
Given
Barry
Bouma
Cuellar
Sutton
Tommy Johnson
MON
Agathe
And Petrov himself.
Did I miss anyone?
Good turnout from us!

Not sure how the follow up to the penalty can be given as offside.
A player can stand anywhere he likes outside the penalty area as long as he is ten yards from the ball. If he is forward of the kicker and the penalty is missed he would automatically be deemed offside and interfering with play of any subsequent follow up.
Hope this clears this up for you.
Stan on the pitch with his family is one of my favourite moments in football.And emotional....superb Celtic fans and the Villa ones there did Stan and football in general proud today....listen to what he has to say now!
Fucking dust again!

@MatKendrick: Just waiting for Harry Styles to offer out Christian Benteke now...
Aston Villa striker Gabriel Agbonlahor was the subject of death threats and shocking abuse from One Direction fans after injuring band member Louis Tomlinson.
The pair were playing in Stiliyan Petrov's game for charity at Celtic Park when the 26-year-old forward tackled the singer.
It was a fair challenge from the Villa man, but Tomlinson was injured and his notoriously, er, over-excited fans took to Twitter to send Agbonlahor abuse and threats.
@gabby_10 i will chop your balls off
— louis tomlinson (@zaynoreos_) September 8, 2013
One fan told Agbonlahor she would "chop his balls off," while another threatened to kill him if he didn't apologise.
On leaving the pitch, the boyband star then vomited - further provoking the ire of his loyal band of internet abusers.
A Petrov XI beat a Celtic XI 5-3 in the end, with Dimitar Berbatov netting a hat-trick for his former international team-mate's side.
Henrik Larsson scored for the hosts, while Jamie Redknapp, John Terry and Robert Pires were among the special guests to play.
Watch: Gabriel Agbonlahor injures One Direction's Louis Tomlinson.

I needed the tissues when his youngest son ran up to him.
Just had a look at the names who played today, fair play to some of them for turning up especially the much lamented Mr Terry seeing as he doesn't have a connection to either club.

Terry also hit the post from half way in his own half. Excellent stuff.
However, the Gabby tackle on that 1 Direction fop was the funniest thing.
I reckon Gabby thought he'd give him a bit of a nudge, he didn't realise he was going to end up throwing up on the sidelines. What a gigantic, gigantic fanny.

That Tomlinson kid signed up to a lower league club. Hopefully it's just a PR stunt
Got to be honest I find the adults Tweeting how pleased they are that a kid from a pop group getting injured whilst giving up his time to play for Stan as pathetic as the death threats and abuse from the teenage girls.
Yes, I have a daughter. Yes, Louis is her favourite. Zayn is mine.

I find it hard to see a bit of sniggering and death threats as the same sort of level, really.
Seems like it was a great occasion. 60,000 there? That's a wonderful thing.
I wonder if we'd have been able to fill Villa Park? I'd like to think so, though didn't we get about 10,000 for Paul McGrath's? Or am I imagining that?

Plenty of other occasions to have a go at Terry (he'll see to that), But today's not one of them. He's clearly friends with Petrov and it was good of him to be there. Fair play to him.
Why do old folk get so worked up about boy bands?
I feel sorry for the kid. its was a full on challenge from a top professional athlete. it knocked ten shades of sh*t out of him and I can't seehow gabby can come out of this looking anything other than a bully. yeah, funny in a way but the kid was playing in a charity match and although I didn't seethe game I bet there weren't too manyfull on challenges. Not sure what gabby was playing at or what he was trying to prove.

I have a 13 year old daughter who loves them and I can quite easily avoid hearing them if I wish so I'm sure you can. From what I've heard of them they seem to be one of the better pop acts of recent times.
Zayn is the best.

I think it's an education for the lad if he thinks he has any desire or right to play professional football. What club is he at this season? Its on an as and when and if he can get in the side deal or something??? But yeah, the way he was running, arms flapping around like a girl, he just did not look anything like a professional footballer. In those celeb charity matches you get the odd player like Robbie Williams mate, or Ralf Little who do far better impressions of a pro footballer, but are still miles off.
It wasn't even that hard a challenge from Gab, but its certainly an eye opener. If Tomlinson plays in one of the lower league games this season, he'll suffer far worse. Perhaps it'll make him realise he's not quite cut out for it. Certainly you have to give your all to this game and be on it full time.
He signed for Doncaster Rovers, he may be reconsidering that particular decision since he threw up after coming offI feel sorry for the kid. its was a full on challenge from a top professional athlete. it knocked ten shades of sh*t out of him and I can't seehow gabby can come out of this looking anything other than a bully. yeah, funny in a way but the kid was playing in a charity match and although I didn't seethe game I bet there weren't too manyfull on challenges.

I just can't stop thinking with England's current dearth of striking talent that Gabby should be in the Ukraine as opposed to in the mind of every 12 year old girl at this very moment in time.
I have no problem with whatever his name is from the boyband, he gave up his time to play in the Petrov game and no doubt raised money doing so, and he is doing the same for Doncaster.
What gets me is the hatred and bile coming from his fans on social media, death threats and copious use of the "N" word aimed at Gabby, I hope whatever his name is will come out and condemn this, but I doubt he'll want to upset his fanbase somehow. He will go massively up in my estimation if he does though.

I haven't particularly dug deeply but I haven't seen the 'N' word, yes it's all silly and pathetic (as my very own 1D'er said) but they are silly, immature children. Most kids start their musical journey liking pop music and throwaway bubblegum pop and those that say they didn't are either liars or Bobby Gillespie.

No. Can't stand the bloke. Don't listen to his music. Don't listen to his interviews. Don't read his interviews. Don't watch him on TV etc. Just making the point it's easy to avoid something you don't like or are you suggesting its not?
Why do old folk get so worked up about boy bands?
You could do but I would suggest blokes in their 40's and 50's aren't One Direction etc target audience.
Do you understand I'm saying that if you want to avoid something you can? It's not that difficult, I found it hard to avoid Bono when I was married to somebody employed by him but now I manage to avoid him and his band. That was the point you seemed to pick up on, anyway I'm off to bed now, early start to go to The Clash pop up museum tomorrow. Without them there would be no U2 evidently.
In my experience some people display an almost encyclopaedic knowledge of subjects/people they claim to detest. I'm thinking along the lines of a former colleague who claimed to detest soap operas, but could summarise plot lines far better than me.

Anyway, well done to all concerned at Celtic. Magnificent effort.
The guy would have been subbed at half time anyway as he can only play in one direction.Is he the new Darren Bent?

DCF is Bono. Fact.

Curse that bloody modern technology and auto correct nonsense. Please don't sue me Pauline unless DC5 is Bono in which case you do love him. Probably.
Hasn't this kid signed for Doncaster? I can't imagine the tackles in the Championship are going to be any lighter. I think he needs to bulk up a bit or he's going to end up being sick quite a lot!
Sweet spot on the knee is a fucker. I copped for one in a game once and spent five minutes rolling round like a 1980's Argentinian.
Gabby shouldn't need to apologise - it was a nothing challenge. If the boy band boy had anything about him he'd man up and say Gabby has nothing to apologise for - it was a game of football and these things happen. Wimp
Found this on U Tube in case no one else has seen it. Lump in the throat job.

Premonition.

Am I only one feeling a bit sorry for 1D lad? He was clearly enjoying the game and he gave a good visibility for the match. I think he just fell awkwardly and hit some sweet spot from his body to the ground and got winded up as it's easy to if you're not used to getting knocks or knocked over.

No, he is a fanny.
The exact same collision happened to me the other week. The ball was loose and I was favourite to get there. Having got to the ball, the winger was closing me down, I turned my foot to angle to ball away past him and he kept going and followed through twisting my knee.
I neither fell over, threw up or had to limp off. I also played the next day. I am fucking nails me.
This remains the best celeb game tackle ever.
This remains the best celeb game tackle ever.Public schoolboy. Thought he was playing egg chasing. Very funny clip that.
Only because no footage exists of Neil Ruddock two-footing Tim Lovejoy.
I can't help but feel as Stan's 'other' club that we could host a charity match for his foundation at Villa Park.
Villa v Celtic pre season 2019. Sorted
Yeah, a pity we couldn't have played Celtic when Liverpool have no ties to Petrov.
Couple of random names in the line ups....did Paulo Ferreria ever play with Stan? He seemed to be on Chelsea's bench for about 5 years before actually retiring.
It would be nice if we did something at VP but as was shown with the attendance for the SGT game, we don't tend to turn out much for such games.
I think that's the only testimonial I've ever been to. Crowd did seem a bit small, what was it, 3 or 4 thousand?
