They all look the same

Barca didn’t capitalize on the first half dominance

[BruidheanChaorthainn]

Nope they didn’t. Bayern are a fine side.

Manchester United 2022/23 - The Reign of ETH

Frenkie de Jong just scored for Barca. Im starting to think he might not be on the way…

He’s after coming on here Juhy. The Catalan kidnappers are really playing hardball now

[Pirlo]

That was a beautiful assist for the second Leverkusen goal!

Lost in the Half-space

Good thread on Shakhtar ahead of this evening’s early kick-off (5.45pm in Legia Warsaw).

Celtic played there in Boruc’s testimonial a couple of months ago.

Starfelt is still injured and McCarthy didn’t travel due to illness, but he’s way down the pecking order now. Abildgaard won’t be involved, as he’s still getting up to fitness.

Mykhaylo Mudryk is apparently Shakhtar’s next big thing and a main danger man. He plays as a winger.

[Lazarus]

What channel is the Celtic on?

[Raylan]

BT4

[Lazarus]

FFs

[Bandage]

Haksabanovic starts.

Celtic Football Club

[Rocko]

Interesting. I’m calling that a surprise.

[Bandage]

I didn’t commit it to writing, or indeed verbalise it, but I had a thought during the Real Madrid game that Haksabanovic might eventually join Jota as a first choice winger. Abada has an excellent scoring rate and has a natural ability to get into scoring positions in the box from a starting wide position, but he perhaps lacks something in traditional winger/dribbling play and hard running power needed in modern game. Maeda is looking like he might become a rotation player and be useful as an attacking utility player, but he doesn’t have the ability of the other three. Haksabanovic looks like he has the attributes to create and score and get up and down the pitch. But yes, probably a surprise that he’s forced his way in a CL starter already.

I met @The_brisbane_lion this morning.

I asked her what she made of the new king.

“Stone the flamin crows DB. Ange has been around for years” was the reply.

I had to hold my hands up and say fair dinkum.

“Sorry for your loss Michael Fagan”

[Rocko]

Impeccable minute’s silence

[thedancingbaby]

I could only see “uck the crown”

A “good luck the crown” banner perhaps?

[BruidheanChaorthainn]

Great save that tbf
