Can't see a thread on this and wondered if anyone was watching Celtic Vs Juve? Amazed a penalty hasn't been given for the wrestling in the penalty area. Celtic have been pretty good to be fair.

Should be a pretty exiting 2nd half.

You can't give a penalty when both parties are being just as bad.

Celtic playing very well given the lack of quality competition in their domestic league

Yeah, they could turn around and lose to Ross County or St. Mirren after beating Barcelona, pure inconsistent. The ultimate raise your game for the big games side.

Celtic have their tactics spot on, not giving Juve's midfield a chance. They just haven't quite got the quality to get the right balls in.

Got some decent players though. Wanyama and that left back (izaguirre?) look tidy. Mostly championship level really.

That's why you invest heavily in quality strikers to make a difference in tight games ........ you watching Daniel?

Robbery. Cheating scumbags.

Rubbish. Get the British tinted glasses off. Celtic have played well, yes. Don't deserve to be losing, but due to lack of quality in the final third don't deserve to be winning either.

But this myth about holding players in the box is utter bollocks. Every team does it and the holding, shirt tugging and pushing goes both ways.

If pens were given for that kind of tussling in the box then games would end in double figures.

the game reminds me of an fa cup tie between a premiership giant and an Neil Warnock side. play physical , get the crowd behind you and appeal for everything. and normally the giant's class wins the game.

I think you're as blind as the referee. There's holding and then there's this.

Celtic went at a marathon like they were running a 400m race. All Juve had to do was bide their time and wait for Celtic to run out of steam.
