    Wondering about my hole getting mustarded
    As Obi Wan Kenobi would say...search your conscience. Own up. Suspicious? Yep. I love Italy, but it's high on the world (and football) corruption league for lots of good reasons. And Juventus top the lot. Nothing personal as I'm sure you're a nice person but I can only say CHEATING *. No personal offence intended. Just truth.

    Have a nice giorno.

    This may sound a bit mad, but Ambrose excluded, I thought we were excellent tonight. Izzy was immense, Wilson was superb, and the midfield was very good too. Juve deserved a very good second, I wouldn't take that away from them, but the other two goals were terrible from Efe's point of view.

    If the ref had been strong and had taken action against the Juve pulling and shoving in the box, we could easily have had 2 or 3 penalties, and them down to less than their full compliment.

    It is very typical for us to get a referee that gives everything to the opposition, and I wouldn't doubt if we were one of the many teams to have been victims of the match fixing that Europol have been going on about. Having said that, I think tonight's ref was just *, as opposed to corrupt. How he could book Hooper and Brown for being the victim of foul play is a sign of a weak man struggling to take hold of a situation that was getting completely out of control.

    Unfortunately, the result means that we will definitely exit the competition, but I don't feel that this Juve team, is that far ahead of ourselves in terms of quality. The best players on the park tonight were in Green and White, and that is testament itself to how far we have come in a short space of time.

    It's been a great adventure - let's see it off with a flourish!

    Ambrose excluded, we would have won or drawn that match tonight.

    Which hurts, a lot.

    Normally mate if Celtic lose to top European teams we would accept the gap in quality and realise that you have better players than we do. However, it is harder tonight as your players were using tactics that should be left in the 1980's. The referee was very poor and if he had played fairly then we would have had an early penalty and it would have stopped your team doing what they did all night from corners and free kicks to us.

    Your coach clearly recognised that we are dangerous from dead balls and the holding and pushing of our players was a deliberate choice. This is where the referee should have applied the proper rules. It would have forced you to change your thinking. I'm not sure if we would have won the game but it would have made a difference.

    I find it strange that a team with the quality of players you guys have, have to do this. I thought you would be better.

    Still, its no disgrace for us to lose to you as you have a good team there who can and will play much better as the season goes on.

    I agree mate, but I can understand why Lenny picked him, and why he felt he would be okay to play. Personally, I think we should have had Rogne playing and kept Efe for the second leg, with Sammy coming back I hope, but unfortunately, it will all be futile now. Ces't la vie!

    I must say I have loved every minute of the CL this year, and will always look back fondly on, what has been, a great European adventure.

    Maybe it's just a musician who hates match fixing *! We have our own cheating scum in this country too. I believe you were training at their old facility yesterday. Thankfully they don't exist anymore, which is the same punishment that juve should have for cheating and match fixing. How is it to follow a team that are world famous for being cheats?

    Now I know that there is a lot of ignorant people also outside Italy and does not accept defeat, 0-3 is the better answer.

    it's very good to follow a team returned winning after being punished for false things.
    You couldn't understand...
