UCL Last 16: Celtic v Juventus Chat

Absolutely. Juve are the * pits.

 

Juventus. Forever known as the team that cheats.

 

Also, can I just say to all the Juve fans and fanboys on here before the game who were adamant that they were not the typical Italian team, and that they played beautiful attacking football - well, you're wrong, and they don't. Juve were the exact definition of boring, defensive, clinical and efficient Italian counter-attacking football.

There's nothing necessarily wrong with this, because the only right thing in football is to win, but Juve were very poor tonight, their passing was *, they only had 3 chances all game, and the had to resort to cheating and foul play, like Lichsteiner man-handling Hooper and Pirlo kicking and petulantly lashing out at Brown.

I can't believe how much Juve were hyped up before this match, yet Forster didn't make a single save all game and did nothing except pick the ball out!
Buffon was brilliant again though.

 

That's football, you say? Well the Juve defending looked alot like wrestling

 

I don't think you did but it's not out of the question.

Italian football in general is corrupt.

 

I genuinely think that it would be easier for everyone if we just played in the Europa next season and eased ourselves back into European competition after this.

It is hard to take, but the reality is, we might not be ready for this level of football yet. Our most experienced players are 27 years old, or not much older. Says it all.

 

I don't blame Lennon for playing Ambrose, you play your best players in these games and Ambrose must have said he felt good which I'm sure he did, he just had a very bad night. We were just extremely unlucky.

 

Golden bhoy i take it , bit like when you can not say Mulgrew was poor .

 

What do they arseholes even do behind the goal? Surely, got to be looking at that defending

 

Aye. Funny how we were all willing to give Juve the benefit of the doubt (myself included) and then they pull this here.

Appalled. Juve are a disgrace.

 

The ball wasn't dead though. They were at corners for the first bunch of incidents at least. Even if the ball was dead then they are still off-the-ball incidents. We should have had at least two pens.

 

Mods should check Arias' IP to see where he's from, would be very interesting. :smiley-laughing002:

 

They were at it after the corners were taken as well.

 

To be fair Shane I think most of the abuse will rightly be directed at Juve and the ref tonight.

 

As much as I love our journey this season, I agree.

Europa could be the way.

 

I'd like to see their 2nd again at the time i thought Brown made an absolute * of it

 

Used to have a lot of respect for the likes of Pirlo ect, that's all gone, sick of the way European teams get away with diving, persistent off the ball fouling, and blatant cheating. The really annoying thing is, it's never going to stop, not until UEFA start watching these matches back and banning cheats, which is never going to happen.

The scoreline flattered Juve, our defending was sloppy, and on any other night, we would of had a couple of goals. Such a horrible feeling after that.

 

who is the top man tonight michel platini fifa top man a juve fan nuff said ref *

 

Yep.

 

Fucki it, didnae want to go to Wembley anyway
