Heard this from a supporter of FC Milan: Dida was just lucky to be hit by a Celtic fan, it would have been much worse for him if one of his supporters got him!

Another one: He didn't fall because of the hit, he is so slow that he was still trying to save the previous shot!

Ciccio, Milan, Italy

Hats off to Ancellotti for a mature, honest response to the result and the fan incident. Dida has performed the impossible and turned what should have been the story of a disgraceful security lapse by Celtic into astonishment at his ridiculous reaction. What a pathetic man. It reminded me of Rivaldo against Turkey a few years ago, when he collapsed to the floor clutching his face after a ball hit him in the stomach. This current generation are slowly dismantling the awe-inspiring legacy of football and fairness built up by Brazil over decades of excellence.

Dare we say that Scottish football is improving... as the international team enjoy unknown success, so too do the club teams in Europe... unbelievable.

Pity about the fan but apparently it was just a cheeky pinch on the cheek to rub it in, completely blown out of proportion but why was he let on the pitch in the first place?

Graeme, Edinburgh,

"The fan was apprehended by the police after supporters pointed him out to club stewards."

Incorrect, he has only recently, today, handed himself (of his own free will) into police for questioning, after he went to Parkhead and apologised. It's recently appeared in a bulletin.

Graeme, Edinburgh,

Of course the fans behaviour was disgracful, but what was the keeper doing?

He recieved a very light slap, and actually gave chase... then fell over to be stretchered off???? What a pansy! Can you imagine that sort of action from a rugby player... say Jerry Colins or Gareth Thomas? The fan would be in hospital.

This is yet another example of soft overpaid footballers who would be better suited to acting than proffesional sport.

As a brazilian, I feel nothing but embarrasement by Dida´s antics. His reaction was nothing less than ridiculous! He was just trying to make up for his two mistakes that resulted in Celtic´s goals. He should go watch some rugby world cup to understand the real meaning of physical contact...

Gustavo Stephan, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

As an AC Milan supporter I feel very sorry for what Dida has done. I believe AC Milan management should take some action against him .
On the other side that guy should'nt have been allowed to enter on the field.

Roberto Ferrari, Vedano al lambro, Italy

It is one thing what could have happened after this man running on the pitch, it is another thing what Dida has made of it, but Italian influence within UEFA is again another thing - and perhaps the decisive thing.

Wolfgang, Birkenfeld, Germany

As Milan supporter, I'm really disappointed and I apologize for his behavior.
We played in a bad way... it's a wrong period. I think (and hope) nothing should compromise the Celtic victory last night. Just a fine, and a stronger control (by stewards) in the next matches.

Matteo, Milano, Italy

Dida's reaction is of little consecquence. The fact of the matter is that a Celtic fan invaded the pitch and struck a football player. Recently a Denmark fan tried to punch the ref, he made no contact but the game was awarded to Sweden.
I think a ground closure would be fair

henrik, Sweden,

If you watch the incident on TV you will see that the fan did no more than pat Dida on the cheek, he certainly didn't 'strike' him. And the way that Dida fell to the ground (after chasing the fan for several yards with no apparent injury) can only be described as cheating of the highest order. In my opinion Dida was trying to get Celtic thrown out of the competition or at least have the match awarded to Milan.

I agree that fans should not be in the playing area and Celtic should be reprimanded for the security lapse with an appropriate fine.

But Dida should be be retroactively red carded for diving and bringing the game into disripute.

Clive, Bristol, England

It's embarrassing that a grown man, (which I assume Dida thinks he is) can perform in such a manor after minimal contact was made by the pitch invader. That he let himself be carried off the pitch on a stretcher shows that he has no shame.
The pitch invader should of course be banned for life from football stadiums.

Chris Norfolk, Stavanger, Norway

The fan should never have got on to the pitch and should be banned but Dida is a cheating so and so. I'm sure that nothing too serious will happen to the club as Rangers have received a pittance fine for many of their fans doing the Nazi salute.
It's good to see that Milan won't appeal for action against Celtic.
Brilliant result though!
