Its a very good game but I dont understand why they aint showing Real Madrid - Lyon. Man i been waiting for that game all day.
-
My opinion of that cheating welsh prick giggs has just plummeted after this game.
Great performance from the lads, did us proud, although ultimately dissapointed.....Glaringly obvious that Naylor/Caldwell/McManus are not a champions league playing trio.
Plus points are JVOH, Maloney coming back, Naka had a great game, Gravesen played well but slack pass cost us third goal and everyone put in a shift.
Wel get to the second round, that i promise.
HAIL HAIL
-
dam, celtic defenately deserved 1 point.... another game that had the wrong winner BECAUSE OF THE REFERREE, they are ruining too many games man, they need to use digital stuff even though most peeps are against it
-
Celtic deserved a point.

quote from the bbc website:
"United equalised seven minutes later when Boruc was very harshly adjudged to have fouled Giggs as he raced out of goal."
shocking decision :grumpy:
-
^^^^^^
You know thats the Seville referee yeh?....He is actually due 2 be assasinated.
Lubos Michel - Stay out of Glasgow bitch. :baseballbat:

White one or green and black one?
Oh yeh i forgot to mention how much of a fuckin beast Artur Boruc is, at last we have a world class goalie. That save against Telfer looked impossible, was going the wrong way and all sorts.
-
Fantastic save.
-
Celtic deserved a point.
If it wasn't for Boruc Celtic would have lost by a couple of clear goals
Stats for the game from Uefa
Man Utd Celtic
6 Shots on goal 4
7 Shots wide 0
They show that Man Utd deserved it IMO
Yeah celtic put up a decent fight but the best team won
Boruc had his best game in a while in a Celtic jersey IMO - surely he was motm
Oh and good free kick from Nakamura

and IF Giggs hadnt cheated the ref, then Celtic would have been one nil up and cruising.
Its the old story though, IF your auntie had balls shed be your uncle. BUt she dont, so Man utd get the win.
-
7 Shots wide 0
what exactly does this mean? i'll tell you.... fuck all.
I saw the stat after about 70/80 minutes 16 shots to 4 and I thought to myself that is because Saha has hit about 10 shots 2nite, maybe 3 or 4 of which have actually been on target.
Why don't you listen to this forum rather than read the stats. The people have spoken.
Wait and see if the real man utd fans (i.e. kuruption, etc) turn up and say shit like "we shoulda won easily" coz I can guarentee they won't.
One of 2 things is true: either you are completely bitter or you didn't watch the game, so which is it? p.s. you may choose both!
-
Notable chances for Man Utd apart from their goals:
Rooney thru - telegraphed his shot for Boruc.
Telfer almost scoring an own goal.
Rooney missing from close range from the rio cross.
That was it, Boruc played well but he wasn't exceptional.
To quote you, Man Utd had 6 shots on target: 3 goals, saha's original shot for the 3rd goal, rooney's shot and 1 other!! that was it.
So how from that ^^ can you honestly say Boruc was M.O.M. insane statement
-
Typical stuffy fuckin Rags >:(

Please take the green and white blinkers off, yeah you performed better than most people (and myself) included expected
Boruc had a good game no one can deny it, I never said anywhere that he was exceptional I didn't think any player on the park was outstanding but out of it all I thought that Boruc, (who made 5 saves including the save before the 3rd goal which broke back to Saha) IMO was the MOTM just ahead of Saha, football is all about opinions remember, and Boruc got 9 out of 10 on the Sky Sports website so its not just me thats insane :P
I watched it and what pressure did you really put Man Utd under? How busy was Van Der Sar?
Oh and the ref, yeah the same one from Seville where you lost to Porto is this going to be the blame from the Celitc fans?
The main stat Mac is 3 points for man utd and 0 for Celtic, you can claim a moral victory all you wish but celtic have still to win a game away from home in the Champions League
-
Man Utd had 6 shots on target, 3 of them were goals. Hence the most saves Boruc made was 4 (including the header from telfer) every other save would have been something that was going wide which shouldn't really be credited as a save.
And instead of making comments about me looking at the game in a one-sided manner how about tryin to point out or try to prove how i am wrong?
for example, give me some examples of clear cut chances than the ones i mentioned above? everything i said is on point.
-
game was a fucking disgrace... deserved a point atleast..
All the english papers writing us off, saying 3-0 4-0 to united easy.. fuck them, they dont know shit..
celtic could easily cut it in the english premier..
UP THE RA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111
-
I agree that the stats don't add up but from the UEFA website
47' (3 - 2) Solskjær (Man. United) scores!
Saha goes close to a hat-trick but is denied by a fine Boruc save
64' Boruc (Celtic) makes a save.
70' Boruc (Celtic) makes a save
84' Boruc (Celtic) makes a save
Oops it was 4 saves that Boruc made - my mistake :-[ I'll put my hands up and admit that I counted his save in the 47th minute twice. so I was wrong there sorry for the false stat
I'm not the only one that thinks that Boruc played well and that Man Utd could have scored more
"Celtic had a go all night which is typical of the history of that club but in fairness to our lads, some of our attacking play was really good and we could have had more goals," Ferguson told Sky Sports.
Boruc was in magnificent form, and he produced his best save of a busy evening from his own defender Paul Telfer with seven minutes left. - from the BBC website
Celtic Player ratings
Player Our Rating Your Rating
Artur Boruc 9 8.8 - highest rated Celitc player according to Sky Sports and the same rating as Louis Saha
I'm taking nothing away from Celitc but the better team IMO won and if it wasn't for Boruc then I think that it would have been a defeat by more than 3-2
-
Yes but I believe most of that rating is down to the purely world class and almost unbelieveable save he made from telfer.
-
It wasnt like celtic never hd any clear chances themselves and scored against the run of play twice. JVOH's header, Rio's clearence from Kenny Millers cross (which was a certain goal) Brownes clearence from Jarosik, Gravesen's shot, Maloney's blocked effort.....IMO very even game, 2 evenly sided teams and we deserved a point.
-
Man U were there for the taking.
Boruc shouldn't have challenged Giggs - simple as + Gravesen cost us the game.
Lennon is past it and Paul Telfer doesn't deserve to wear the Hoops.
Another night we would have taken all 3 points - Man Utd are a shell of a team that they used to be.
-
Two days ago i've bought Celtic's away jersey.

I've ordered it online. I still gotta receive it.
I have the home too, of a pair of years ago.
I love that jersey.

Celtic deserved one point WITHOUT a doubt.. Others news Lyon destroyed Real once again 8)
-
celtic deserved something from the game....that save of a possible own goal was amazing (or am i thinking of another game)
peace
-
damn, hell of a game.....i'm very pleased that we won it....
Wait and see if the real man utd fans (i.e. kuruption, etc) turn up and say shit like "we shoulda won easily" coz I can guarentee they won't.
easily?? i dunno, I think we were struggling badly here and there....nakamura's freekick was sick....saha had couple of chances to score more but it doesn't really matter cause we won....solskjaer again with the winner 8) and that save by boruc what came from telfer was siiiiiiiiiiiick!!
it was an entertaining game 8)
-
Great game, great atmosphere. The celtic fans certainly know how to make a lot of noise. The large majority r also really cool before the game a few game up shaking my hand wishing united good luck etc. The downside was that a lot of them were sitting in the home section, there was a load right near me and when celtic scored loads of scuffles started coz obviously celtic fans celebrated and united fans took exception to it. It was obviously gonna happen and i dont know y the stewards didnt do more to prevent it, on the plus side one of the female police officers who tried to break up a fight near me was hot ;D
Giggs penalty was at the end i was at and at the time i thought it was dubious, ive seen it on tv since and i didnt think it was a pen. At same time though Ryan Giggs aint the type of player to take a dive, over 600 games and i cant think of another occasion where he has dived. I really think his hamstring went and just went down as he couldnt run.
I thought we created the better chances but at the same time celtic played really well and with more of a poacher in the team would have scored more. There was two or three occasions in the second half where great balls were wipped into r six yard box but no one was there to finish it off. The return game should be great and i expect another really hard game.

Yeah, I was thinking the same, giggsy aint that kind of player....it's a shame he got injured quite badly....

yeah, no giggs or park for the arsenal game so looks like darren fletcher will have to play :-\
-
a wee idea of what the celtic fans were like

yeah, no giggs or park for the arsenal game so looks like darren fletcher will have to play :-\
well fletcher ain't bad, actually, he has become a good palyer...but he ain't same kind of player like giggs and park...maybe richardson....

nice clip mac :)

i forgot about Richardson. The problem i have with fletcher is that he doesent improve the team in anyway. He doesent offer anything going forward or defensivly id rather see a player playing who could do one of them . Instead of someone who is ok at both.
Mac,did Liverpool steal u'll never walk alone off celtic ?
-
Considering Gerry & The Pacemakers were from Liverpool, I doubt it.

ahh i dont know nothing about the history of the song but people keep on saying to me Celtic originally started singing it.

Mac10 I've got to admit that you are one of the few celtic supporters i've seen acknowledge that Liverpool were the originators of the song at football due to the location
Though Gerry & The Pacemakers never wrote the song the song is from the musical Carousel
Props for not claiming that the song is and always has been Celtics 8)
-
The majority of of celtic fans who claim it have prolly never actually put in a minute's research to find out the facts.
I mean it may well have been celtic, but the facts point in the other direction.

my dad doesnt rate fletcher at all, he always seems to try 100%, and then there was that header against chealsea
but richardson is a good player, i hope he starts instead of giggs
2nd time i saw carrick play, i noticed a few times in midfield, he did what defenders do and stand sidewides to a player with the ball instead of trying to tackle them, like they were getting ready to run, then they just passed the ball
people say he isnt gonna be a roy keane and tackle, but that was pretty poor from him, i dont like him
-
Well Darren Fletcher > > > >John O'Shea or Kieran Richardson.

Trust they were not all friendly friendly in town last night
All the pubs got done in
Scum fan got his face slashed and a Celtic fan got run over by a bus while fighting.
We converted some Celtic fans to support City ;D
Had a good crack with them
Fuck me they cant half drink though
There welcome back in our Blue boozer anytime
-
Great match, great victory. Hopefully the later results will be a bit more comfortable.

yeah noticed that too, im gonna withold my judgement on him for a while. What i noticed about him is that he doesent like to carry the ball forward, even when theres space to run into.
