do you know what i find funny Boh's would potentially take apart that isreli side

[irishultra]

I don't think we would. I still think Zagreb would have beaten us anyway...I hope

RTE have decided it would be a great idea to air coverage of the Athletico Madrid vs Panathinikos game instead of the Celtic Arsenal game.

[superfrank]

Delighted.

Maybe because they're on different nights...

Yes but instead of showing the Celtic Arsenal game which would have higher viewer figures they decided to go for a different tie which won't attract the same audience.

[superfrank]

TV3 have the other one though.

Sweet, they can reference Longford Town right throughout the game.

No, instead of showing a game on the night they don't have rights to, they show a game on the night they are allowed

ITV showing Panathinaikos Atletico on wednesday too BTW

As if RTE would actually choose to do that if it was up to them.

[briancool21]

So how does everyone think the Arsenal celtic game will go? I fancy Arsenal heavily in both legs. They've got way too much quality

TV3 are showing it.

They have CL on Tuesday nights now

[DeLorean]

Yeah, presumably RTE will have the 2nd Leg as it is on a Wednesday (tomorrow week).

I think Celtic will give a good account of themselves. Their more robust team of a few years ago might have been better equipped to play Arsenal though. Tonight is vital I think cos I think Arsenal may be more dangerous at Celtic Park than The Emirates. I think 0-0 would be a decent result for Celtic tonight but 1-0 would be ideal.

[De Town]

Arsenal will beat them tonight I think, will just be too good for them.

[centre mid]

Paddy McCourt comes on for Celtic with 15 mins to go

[eirebhoy]

Good 1st half from Celtic, very poor 2nd.

[De Town]

Good 1st half from Celtic, very poor 2nd.

They were absolutely rubbish from start to finish IMO. Just tried to kick lumps out of Arsenal at every opportunity.

Very harsh. Can't remember a bad tackle in the game.

Better team won without playing well, but Celtic worked hard and if they had a top class striker might've been in with a shout.

[De Town]

Very harsh. Can't remember a bad tackle in the game.

Donati and Caldwell in particular seemed to be fouling non stop. "kicking lumps" may be slightly harsh, but I thought Celtic were constantly fouling whenever they got close to an Arsenal player.
