Arsenal to Play Celtic - Battle of Britain in Champions League Play-Off
Makaveli's Food & Liquor:
It was a dive but its not like the game was 0-0 and you were all over us, we were comfortable and had a 2 goal lead and you never looked like scoring. Besides its not like thats the first time there's ever been an obvious dive ::) Rooney at Old Trafford taking a dive to end our unbeaten streak ring any bells? But ofcourse this is Arsenal who's involved so it's 'shocking' 'unsporting' 'cheating' :-X even if you took away the penalty, the 'lucky' gallas goal and the OG (poor defending) we still would of won 2-1 and Celtic never looked like scoring even in the 1st half of the 1st leg, however it was a great goal and once again we fail at keeping a clean sheet >:(
Antonio:
You are overreacting, Mac.

--- Quote from: Mac 10 † on August 26, 2009, 07:11:39 PM ---OK. So much to say, so little time.
1) - "Your team never really had a chance". Wrong. Over the 2 legs, 5-1 is a horribly unjustified scoreline. 1st half of the 1st leg we had the better of the play and got deflated by one of the luckiest and worst goals I've ever had the bad fortune of seeing. 1st half of the 2nd leg we played well enough and we all know what happened from there.
2) - Wrong, I locked the thread myself.
3) - You think I've never seen a dive before? Wrong. Doesn't make him any less of a cunt just because other people dive. What a fucking stupid attitude. Everyone else does it so it's ok for that spic bastard?
4) - I reacted this way because a decision went against my team? Lol. Wrong. Imagine having the idiocy and simplicty of mind to think that way. I don't blame the ref 10% as much as I blame that cunt. Can't even bring myself to say his name. It's not a bad decision. It's just a horrible, horrible human.
You win some, you lose some but having to watch good, honest, hard-working teams succumb to low-life despicable cheating like that is too much sometimes.

1) I have to admit, I didn't have the chance to see the first leg, but "one of the worst and luckiest goals ever"? Fine that's on you then. Guess you don't watch that much football.
You didn't play bad last night, you just don't have that last few touches to create a real good chance. The shots on target speaks for themselves.
2) Fine, but it was a horrible and very unnecessary thread. Should've been deleted.
3) No, I hate diving. It's not okay for anyone to dive. I was kinda pissed at Eduardo last night. Diving is wrong - no matter who does it. No need for racial insults.
4) "Can't even bring myself to say his name." Wow, you're bitter. That's low. Like I said, there have been worse dives! As Antonio said, you are clearly overreacting. We had the game in our hand with two away goals. I'd understand if the score was 0-0 and this dive tipped off the scale, as Makaveli's F&L pointed out.
TheDeli:
The better team over both legs who were the team who created the most chances have proceeded to the group stages.
Yes Eduardo dived, but this wasn't a clinching moment in the game. Players dive, wrong decisions happen, thats football.
