    He may have known that it was Ligue Un rather than Ligue Une!

    Interesting game between Rangers and Lyon in store for Ibrox. Although Lyon are going to win the French League at a canter again I don't think they're nearly as good as they were the last few seasons so I think Rangers will do enough.

    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?

    I'm not so sure. They have been nowhere near as impressive this year. Alain Perrin is nothing compared to Houllier.

    Here's hoping. I don't think L'OM are going to do it though. They rarely perform when the pressure's on.

    I was very puzzled by Lyon's attitude towards the end of the game yesterday. At 2-2, they were standing off players in the middle of the park, and not really pushing forward when they had possession. Given that a win would have left them needing only a draw in Glasgow, whereas either a draw or a defeat would have left them needing to beat a team that already beat them 3-0 in France, this seemed decidedly odd.

    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

    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.

    Glad to see my other team go through too. Chlesea destroyed Rosenborg last night.

    Shakhtar are 5/2 on Betfair to qualify. Celtic are 4/11. I'd really put Shakhtar favourites and can't believe those odds.
