Wrong. Celtic created 2 of the best chances of the 1st half while holding Arsenal out for the most part. They rarely hit it long and only Donati was really giving it away. McGeady and Maloney were doing well. Caldwell and Donati made a few fouls but no change there.Quote:

What was it for? I just presumed it was for celebrating the goal.Quote:

Wrong.
He got a second yellow for taking his shirt off after scoring. It's a stupid rule IMO but he should have more cop on. I don't know what he did for the first yellow. A Fiorentina player punched a Sporting player and was only booked and he must have done something in the general handbags after. The Firoentina guy should have been off.Quote:

Timisoara only had two decent chances and they made a mess of both. Stuttgart had an easy enough time of it.
Yeah just saw that Hleb goal on Sky, absolutely fantastic run and finish.

( I am very dissappointed.)
I know Celtic. I've seen them play poorly many a time. They did well in the 1st half and limited Arsenal to next to nothing while making a couple of good chances.Quote:

Donati's passing in the opposition half was woeful, put it out of play more than he found a fellow Celtic player.
Like many here, I did think that with a decent finisher, Celtic could have come away with a positive result.
Fair enough, you would watch Celtic more often then I would. I just thought they were very poor last night.Quote:

yes they do.Quote:

Really bad dive by Eduardo followed by worse refereeing. Found his gloating celebration hard to look at, where's Martin Taylor when you need him?
McGeady playing handy enough without that clinical final ball that seems to elude him in big games. Still augurs well for Ireland as he's full of confidence.
Caldwell was so far out of his depth it was painful to watch. Good to see O'Dea get a chance.
Eduardo was, without wanting to come across all Dunphy, disgusting. I'd ban him for a year.
Eh?Quote:

I'm no fan of either side but any one of those chances was equal with the offside which was far and away Celtic's best chance.
Thought Scott Brown was useful though.
maybe you should check the date, and the actual game he was referring to :confused:Quote:

Stupidity of the highest order to take a shirt off when on a yellow. It's not as if it's a natural reaction anyway after scoring a goal. "Oh, I've scored. I must take my shirt off!". Clown.Quote:

It always surprises me that if the last defender takes down a forward it's a red card but if the forward dives to get a peno, it's a yellow. The only way to help stamp this out is to impose a three match ban by review committees after the match if the forward is faking. Cheating of the highest order :mad:Quote:
