He may have known that it was Ligue Un rather than Ligue Une! ;)Quote:

In tonight's games regardless of what Liverpool do they're fu**ed if Marseille win in Besiktas.
Yes, the Old Firm on their own patch are a difficult proposition. Who says the fans don't make a difference?
he's a big fan of Verry Tenables though :D:DQuote:

Yes, a draw/loss made no difference since they would still have to beat Rangers. They needed to win but I didn't notice them standing off. I think they just found it hard to get the ball back off Barca.
Rte's Daragh Maloney did a very good job on the CL commentary last night, doesn't yap too much, sometimes even allows the play to proceed without the need to say anything,
gets the names right and will tell you just what you need to know, ie. who is on the ball.
A good commentator is one you don't notice during the game.
come on Porto!!!!
Anybody been watching SS News the past hour? It seems every fan they stop to interview is Irish (mainly Dubs). Do any real local scousers actually go to the games any more? :)
Have to say that Celtic are enjoyable to watch at home in the Champions League, may not be the best football but there is always a sting in the tail in their games
not a celtic fan by any means but i was delighted to see them score there at the end, something exciting cos they never give up.
Yep, have to admit applauding when they scored the winner. Sometimes huff and puff does blow the house down. Not sure they'll get anything from the trip to Milan so they'll need the Ukrainians to slip up at home to Benfica in the last game. Very enjoyable game. I switched away from the Liv vs Porto game to watch it.
Just like to say I got my prediction right. Now we'll need to get something against Liverpool in the Velodrome. I think we can do it.Quote:

The money is to put your house on a draw in the San Siro, suits both teams.
