Champions League 22/23 Matchday 5/6

The celtic fans have abandoned them

Didn’t know Starfelt was back. Still going to be very vulnerable at the back without Carter Vickers and with no McGregor sitting in front.

It’s been a big step up for the Glasgow Hoops and Blues to play proper full time fuhba’ playz.

Sure tis all the one, wasn’t there a lad in centre midfield for Celtic destroyed by a painter before

Ffs sake

Seemed to be back in full training since start of last week.

FFS is right. I somehow thought kick off was 6pm, even though the two previous away games were 5.45pm kick offs.

That’s not a penalty

A yellow card for that too ?

Don’t think that should be a penalty. Very unlucky anyway

It’s a bit farcical that a penalty is the end result when someone woefully slices a shot that’s going nowhere near the target but it hits an opponent standing a yard diagonally away from him in the hand. You may as well go around trying to smack the ball off an opponent’s arm in the box even if it means driving the ball backwards. And VAR has made it that a penalty is always going to be awarded for it, which is a farce in itself too.

Liverpool under Rodgers made an art form of that, the synchronised appeals to go with it.

Ah fuck

Ah it’s ridiculous. I could see a case for the semi automated offside stuff and maybe red cards but the handball decisions are a nonsense.

Even on the red cards - Tony Watt got a red card at the weekend. Yellow given initially. Then VAR intervenes and recommends a red. Referee reviews and changes to red. Watt appeals after the game and it’s downgraded again. What’s the fucking point when it’s just wrong!

I just saw their first penalty. Jesus, that’s probably a penalty because it hits Jenz’s outstretched hand and the ball’s travelling towards goal. But it only hits his hand because it’s another mishit shot into the ground that bounces up off the hand. But the shot was going to be harmless. Two goals from two penalties from nothing incidents, and our own missed one. Haven’t had the run of the balls in this campaign.

The handball decisions should be in real time. I thought the ref got both right really.
That kroos is a diving cheat, but tbh, it’s been a bit like a picador toying with a bullock.

This lady despises Matt O’Riley. Fucking hell.

She hates Kyogo too. Ridiculous

VAR is destroying the game. You can’t enjoy a goal now until you know it isn’t going to be chalked off

You’d wonder why all the teams who’ve already qualified are still putting virtually full strength teams out. The club managers must be running them into the ground before the World Cup in a couple of weeks. Hardly any need for the likes of a 36 year old Modric to be playing that game tonight when Real have the group won.

That kinda went in the middle of the goal, even though Sutton and McLean are saying Hart had no chance. The speed of some of the players (Nkunku’s penalty concession) have shown him up and his reactions probably aren’t at this level at this stage of his career (Mudryk’s equaliser in Poland).
