It's generally what happens when a wee team looks like they might do something against a rich giant.
Great first goal by Idah.
Looking a better player than I thought he was.
In which case UEFA will revert to the previous format for next season.Quote:

There’s a train of thought, or conspiracy if you will, that this is a trial run for the super league and a way to revisit it and try and create it again further down the line after showing that this kind of format works.Quote:

3-2 man city
Scales has to bring down Rogers and take the foul and let his team get back in. Brilliant from McGinn after that.
Celtc commit a few men forward and Villa sweep up the park and easy 2 on 1 goal. Brilliant from SJM
Super John McGinn. I miss him!!!
Ah the old SJM ropeadope just turned him on his arse
Yeah, Scales is miles out of position so has to take him out.Quote:

Penalty to Villa
Looks harsh to be fair
That’s not a pen for me
Never a pen. Can't believe that.
Penalty all day long. Fouled the man before he got the ball
Not a pen for me but doubt it will be overturned
Trusty is Untrustworthy
wtf happened there?! :faf:
Stronger and won the ball for me.
Watkins miss is funny
oopsy missed
slipped
Was never a penalty in the first place to be fair
Should be indirect free kick to Celtc. Hit it twice
That penalty 😂
Justice, was never a penalty anyway.
This is no time to be clowning around Watkins!
How can that be a penalty? It’s a good tackle. Ridiculous decision. [note: not supporting Celtic, just the principle of the matter].
there's more goals in this
Smellies missing Carter-Vickers
Brilliant game to watch

Back post and that is a goal
Been a superb game. Watkins has missed some amount of chances though.
Commentators talking rubbish here about Brugge. Stuttgart would need to score 4 v PSG in the last 5 mins to overtake them.
Schmeichel is probably one of Celtic’s best signing .
4-2 now
Another comedy moment
Rogers falling on his backside as he scores, like Watkins did at the penalty. Surprised Lennon's not going nuts about them wearing the wrong studs.
creepy looking villa cants
Only watched the second half but that coukd very easily have been 6 or 7 to AV. Schmeichel kept the score down
Excellent result. Nice to see Celtic lose but to put in a decent enough display to save some folks’ embarrassment. :greengrin
Celtic vs Real or Bayern in the play off
Man City to play the team Celtic don't get
Offt

😂😂😂 Celtic. Get that right up you
When do they play these games? Is it near when we play them next?
Seen a video online of Celtic fans(green brigade) marching to the game singing IRA songs. Are they stupid? People of Birmingham died in the pub bombings, best fans in the world my backside.
They won't find it funny and might be last straw for decent fans / club if they get banned form selling tickets to away game against Real or Bayern after pyro on pitch last night.... as that was suspended punishment from same stuff in away game at Dortmund.Quote:

There won’t be a Celtic fan who doesn’t join in with the pro IRA stuff when they’re at games. Especially at away games. Plenty will try to say they don’t, but they do. And then once they’ve accepted they do join in, they’ll spend hours justifying why it’s ok.Quote:

They might debate exactly what 'IRA' they are singing about though. Seems to me they largely sing about events over 100 years linked to a country gaining its freedom rather than Northern Ireland in the 70s and 80s. Not that either have anything to do with football...Quote:

What’s the deal with rangers tonight? Do they need to win?
Have to want rangers tonight against these hearts *****
If they win they have a bit of a chance of top 8---right now theyre 9th, needing a Manyew goalQuote:

How did USG not score there😡
I know there are some on here that want all or certain Scottish teams to lose every game in Europe, and i am partially for that, however disregarding that, anyone who understand it better than me able to clarify how the coefficient is looking?
I’ve seen a few posts on here saying that next season is likely to be the last where 3rd place gets automatic group stage football. Is that still the case with Celtic and Rangers going through, especially if Rangers go through in the top 16?
As I understand it, Scotlands 20/21 and 21/22 season were strong and 22/23 was pathetic, but surely the way this year is going could be enough to keep up our current ranking?
I think Rangers & Celtic need to go a long way for it to helpQuote:

Only way now for them to be top 8 is for Bodo/Glimt to concede one or Olympiakos to concede two, assuming either team don't score.Quote:

Right now theyre 8th
2-0 Spurs
USG pull one back (maybe)
USG have missed a crazy number of good chances
That's been coming since the poor sub for Rangers.Quote:

They will be lucky to survive.

Classic dive for a pen. Livi one up on Falkirk. Not unlike counties one.
McGlynn looks more like Benny Hill every time I see him .
Would be hilarious to see Falkirk bottle the title when it looked like it was wrapped up weeks ago.
That said I can't be bothered with Livi back in the league stinking up the place again.
Hopefully Ayr come up

Would rather anyone come up than plastic pretend non-club Livingston.
Livingston really are a bunch of cloggers. No chance they’re finishing with a full compliment. Falkirk playing with width and pace.
What a free kick that was from Calvin Miller 😂
I’d rather Ayr utd won the league though prefer Livy over Falkirk every day .
I was thinking wee Jimmy Krankie with that cap.Quote:
