CL Fixtures 12th/13th Feb

The holding in the box happens everywhere, the stereotype about it being an Italian thing is tiresome.

 

[chrissivad]

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

agree, a couple of players including Scott Brown were not just held, but pushed over.

 

[Francis Gibbs]

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.

Disagree, yes a difference in quality in the striking positions but Celtic have played very good football tonight nothing like a Warnock side

but what is Hooper trying to do if the defender left him alone ? the exact same thing to Buffon

 

[Gardham90]

Very pleased, I hate Celtic.

how can you disagree with what it reminds me of? are you my wife?!

 

[Francis Gibbs]

Victor Wanyama is a very good player, a prem move beckons for him.

agree can't say I was any where near as impressed with Hooper

 

[tobi]

Zlatan sent off, now we'll see what PSG are made of.

 

[Syn_13]

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

We'll agree to disagree then mate, because I think Hooper and Brown have been throwing the elbows and pushing just as much.

If this was us playing Celtic we'd be having to do the same to combat their very physical players.

 

[Col_M]

when did Jools Holland become coach for Juve?

 

[stokesy]

Can't say I'm sorry for Celtic there's something very unlikable about Lennon

 

[riggi]

Celtic, best atmosphere in uk (champions league). Shame they're pretty much out.

 

[Shadydan]

Bloody hate Andy Townsend.

 

[Wellspurs]

I'm glad means less chance Scum do a Blue Scum.

 

[Bus-Conductor]

I like the look of Emilio Izaguirre, the Celtic LB. And if Juve sign Llorente, I'd happily take Vucinic off their hands.

No way they'll be selling Vucinic, most likely Quagliarella will be the one out of the door to make way now. Also he is incredibly inconsistent, very much needs to be in the mood.

Deal's done for Llorente btw, there's no if.

 

[hughy]

Well that's made up my mind whether to go to the return leg in Turin or not when I'm in Italy...

I was really hoping Celtic could keep it competative so I could have a decent first taste of CL football. Not worth the €80 round trip to see Juve play out a 0-0.

 

[chinaman]

We wonder why there's been less goals as compared to the Greaves' era. It's all these wrestling in the box that's been allowed. Just can't understand why nearly all tackles from behind, even when you've got the whole of the ball, has been banned, and these very flagrant fouls in the box are allowed.

 

[King of Otters]

Guys, watch these extended highlights from Madrid vs Man U 2003. Zidane, Figo, Raul, Ronaldo, Carlos et al vs Giggs, Keane, Scholes, Beckham and RVN, all at their peak.

 

[tobi]

I think Ozil and Khedira will be the difference tonight.
