Should have been a penalty if anything.
Disgusting attempt at a dive in the box by Hooper. He should have received a second yellow for that, cheating bastard.
He shouldāve gave yer man a dig
Lichtsteiner is some cunt. The Old Whore of Turin are such a horrible club. Cloughieās Derby were done by their cheating ways, Conte is a convicted match-fiddler and itās obvious the same ethos remains.
Great fucking half of football though. Come on Celtic.
Iād be very disappointed if Lennon persists with Hooper in this game. We are well on top in the midfield sector and the game is cyring out for Tony Watt.
We are all over these jokers how have we not scored.
the Glasgow offside trap is malfunctioning badly. long balls over the top causing serious problems.
super ball in from Lustig there, poor movement from Hooper again. Should be getting a head on that
Emilio now takes a ridiculous dive but the ref is wise to him. This Celtic team are horrible cheaters.
Meanwhile itās 2-0 to PSG in Spain
Magnificent first half from Celtic which makes it doubly galling that these hateful cunts are ahead.
weird Celtic fans are singing Celtic songs?
Hell hath no fury like a rugby fan scorned
Juve are by far the best team we played this season
they have the tactical flexibility that the likes of Benfica or Barca wouldnt have- its a step up but the Irishmen are creating chances
Thought we were excellent there. Ambrose all over the shop at the back but otherwise weāve been excellent. Still vulnerable to conceding again to straightforward punts but we look more likely to score.
Not sure why Hooper is getting criticism, I think heās been excellent. Would put someone else on the keeper now but that is certainly distracting them and should have brought a penalty.
Sammy would have a field day with the crosses weāre getting in.
A fully fit Samaras and weād be ahead.
Excellent display from Celtic so far. Commons has been our best player and weāve really bossed the midfield sector, tactically Juventus are one of the best teams Iāve seen so to dominate the midfield sector like we have is some achievement. I donāt want to sound like a broken record but I just donāt see what Hooper offers us in games like this, no movement, no pressing, no physical pressure, no ability to hold the ball up. We need to get Watt on, donāt think Forrest has done an awful lot either, Miku and Watt for these two would be the right introductions to make but I canāt see Lennon taking Hooper off, I canāt understand his obsession with him. I donāt think we would have beaten Barca if Hooper was available, Miku was superb that night and Watt was clinical.
Very impressive performance and hopefully we can play with the same discipline and intensity in the second half.
One stupid moment has cost us here. Aside from that we have been fantastic- Hooper off.

I think this point needs to be stressed to the EPL heads such as Gola who cant appreciate it

Iād really like to know what exactly you think Hooper has done tonight, Rocko. We have dominated this game and heās been an irrelevance. If we had Watt up front Iām sure weād have made the sustained pressure weāve had count, Hooper hasnāt mustered anything up. Heās not holding the play up well, he has been pretty static, he has won nothing in the air, his passing and touch has been heavy. Watt has the physique and willingness to cause the Juventus defence trouble, Hooper just seems to be waiting for a chance to be presented to him. Lennons needs to be proactive and send on a player who can make something happen, we are crying out for Watt.
