How upset must that cheating nobhead of a referee be after seeing Saha miss the penalty and the sitter?

Yeah, Balde should have gone just for the tackle on Scholes...
justice was servied on the pen, I agree and I'd love for United to finally realise that they need to finish team off in Europe when they are on top...
Have to say well done to Celtic, much as it grates.
Celtic didn't even need to play that well to win, because United's final ball was absolutely awful pretty much all night. Looked like a bunch of over-hyped wasters tonight.
Have to say though, that's the kind of penalty Celtic get given week in week out, so they couldn't have had many complaints if it went in.
He should certainly have been booked, yeah. I think it was late more than sinister (something Scholes is a master of), but if a red had been shown nobody could have complained. But the free-kick was given, at least.
But for the whole evening the ref seemed to be edging towards Man Utd in every decision, and the penalty was nothing short of a joke.
I thought the whole game was hilarious because man Utd dominated so much and did so little. The fake Ronaldo fell over a lot and Rooney sulked.
Aye, and for a lot fucking less. Cheating cunts.
I can't stand those dirty bastards, they are absolute filth. Any chance to see their repulsive fans, the epitome of a vile human being that is Neil Lennon and that ginger dwarf Strachan hurting then I'm all for it.
That's characteristic of every team that visits Celtic Park in Europe. They ride the home side like Torbett through the youth team and play/pass them off the park without having to try, but they won't score. Celtic snatch a jammy goal from a set piece or a counter attack late on and it's game over.
The only side I've seen come to Celtic Park in recent times, toy with them and get the goals was Barcelona.
It should be a lesson for the Man Utd youngsters. It's all well and good having Ronaldo nutmeg opponents but showboating is for when the ball has already been in the back of the net. And Saha not playing to the whistle? Kids are taught to play on unless they're certain; it's not a mistake a professional in the Champions League should ever make.
Giggs, Scholes, Rooney, Saha - they didn't show up tonight. I hope Man Utd get punted out of the competition after their shameful effort.
Our lack of a replacement for Ruud was clear tonight. Saha is a great player, but not the same type of player. I'm glad Celtic are through, they've always been my "second team" since i was little. Cracking goal from Nakamura too, just like in the first match (which was also a cracking match).
I reckon its time the FA, SFA, Welsh FA and N.I FA got together and scrapped the League Cup as, even though its the only trophy we've won recently (before someone brings it up), it is still a worthless competition. A British cup would be far more entertaining.
I take it you missed the two ridiculous offside decisions against United then? What about the Jarosik dive and subsequent ridiculous free kick which led to their goal? Edging towards Man Utd my arse, though I wouldn't expect you to notice otherwise. The linesman was especially awful, those decisions weren't difficult to make.
Celtic were shite, rode their luck, dived for their free kick, and Nakamura showed their only bit of quality all game. I suppose I should give them some credit for actually taking their chance. Didn't think United played too badly but the final ball tonight was uncharacteristically poor. Mustn't be so complacement.
Fingers crossed Benfica finish the job in a couple of weeks
SWEET SWEET REVENGE............. so by the way you are talking...... do u also agree tat the penalty man united got in the first leg of the tie was actually a penalty or just giggs at it again?
You're surely not suggesting that the Celtic captain, a man who, over the course of a few months, sent abusive text messages to a pregnant, single-mother-to-be threatening to "batter" her unless she aborted his bastard child, is a vile human being? :eek:
Well done Celtic, excellent home record in the Champs League but from what I saw in the first half I thought it would just be a matter of time before man u got the break through.
One thing I did see and have to mention cos it was quality from Ronaldo, he tried a Ronaldinho type pass where you look one way and then pass it the other, although Ronaldos went straight to a Celtic player
Giggs went down with an injury, hardly a dive.
Are you talking about when Boruc came running out for a ball he was never getting to and foolishly clattered into Giggs? No, not a penalty at all. :rolleyes:
Everyone's talking today about whether the Old Firm should be allowed into the Premier League now. Absolute bollocks. Last night's result was more or less the equivilant of when Southend beat United if you look at how both matches unfolded. In fact, Southend were better opponents, let them into the premiership.
Yes, well done Celtic!!
We don't need a replacement for Ruud. Saha, much like the rest of the team has been superb this season, playing their best football in years. One result does not suddenly change everything, it was a slip up no more. On a better night we would've steamrolled them.
Also, it's funny how a short while ago United fans on here were being more or less labelled as pathetic for taking pleasure in Liverpool's failings but at the same time it seems everytime United lose a game, it requires a full thread spread on here with everyone chipping in with a pop. Still, I suppose the team should take it as a compliment to how well they've been playing, if people feel the need to bask in every defeat that comes their way.
It was a freekick against Jarosik, and Saha was at least two yards offside when he missed the sitter. The penalty was a joke, too- the referee was trying his damndest to make sure United won, but fortunately Saha managed to fluff both of them.
United should have won, which makes it even funnier. Almost as hysterical as the 2005 FA Cup Final
Is diving to win a free kick justified in your eyes then, because Jarosik certainly dived. Strange, the amount you talk about diving, I would've thought you'd think otherwise.
Saha was onside for his sitter, but for some reason he seemed to think he'd been flagged offside, probably because of how flag happy the linesman had been up until then. Silly all the same.
The penalty was certainly dubious, but you can't block a goal bound effort with your hand. His hand wasn't even protecting his body. You see them given all the time. Balde was lucky to escape conceding a penalty earlier in the game as well.
I don't think Jarosik dived, he was caught. Whether he was caught as much as reckoned is different, mind. Which is someting you always claim is acceptable when your darling Portuguese charver does it:)
Replays showed Jarosik wasn't touched. Vidic went for the ball, not sure how much contact he got on it, but either way, he was nowhere near the man. It was very dubious.
Ronaldo was clattered by Balde from behind, you can hardly label that a dive.
I'm just pointing out how many of the decisions were shite, and most of them went against United. I wouldn't be bothered whinging about the referee though. We lost because we couldn't take our chances.
:eek:
For what?
I didn't say it was an attack on Man United, just when United seem to lose, threads start popping up. It's the content, not the titles - most of it is petty swipes at United and 'sicken red wankers' etc. I don't mind, it's just banter, I was just pointing out how it works both ways, and people shouldn't whinge when we have a go at Liverpool. Oh, and some users do have a pre-occupation with Man United so you'd be forgiven for thinking they're the only team in the world round here. Seems any time any sort of football thread is made, Man United are invaribly dragged into it.
i agree, but im thinking of different reasons. we cant go through a season only have Rooney, Saha and Smith as our strikers. Solskjaer is injured and will probably retire soon, and Smith is just coming back from injury. We need someone who can step up if our other strikers are not on form.
Giggs got injured, because of the dive..
and back to where you belong, under us, you smelly buckfast drinking twats!
For playing against Man Utd of course!
One of the worst decisions i've seen this season, contact was the best part of a foot away.
