[Official TC Thread] Barcelona vs Celtic, Tuesday 13/09/16, 19.45. BTSport3

The reasons as to why there's an affinity with Barca (and their fans) is pretty obvious if you have any depth of knowledge about both clubs.

 

Aye, they really should petition UEFA for 4.

 

For sure, Broony was our MOTM.

 

Stats - Barcelona 10 shots on target 7 goals, clinical that

 

Also who brings on a young lad and great prospect to be schooled by Suarez? O'Connell cannot have benefited from that experience. I'd rather see the young kids pruned in a winning team not humbled by the world's best.

 

I fear the Man City players watching that tonight and thinking "we can go 1 better".

 

Sore one for Brendan too..

Hopefully make him determined to make us competive and that will take time so all good for us..

 

Brown was one of our best performers. He was the only one in our team who didn't show Barca too much respect.

 

its worse than that actually mate us getting to the champions league means we have money to buy the odd english premiership quality player

the cash we get in gate receipts is nothing to almost every other champions league team because they get huge amounts of tv money for domestic football which we dont

 

Agreed no help from an anonymous Bitton..

 

Wouldn't judge any of our players on tonight's game,yes we were * but i think rogers got the set up wrong.After going 3 down i would have liked to have seen a change in formation but he kept to 541 and we were destroyed. l guess no matter what, we would have got a thumping but i can never understand when things are going wrong managers don,t change it.

 

I thought Biton was non existant. A shame because I think he is one of only 3 players I feel out of our team a Premier League club like Everton etc would have in their team.

 

On the same page - Bitton could have put himself about a bit more

 

* it!

We're going to just have to get over it and move on.


Still cant believe that penalty miss though

 

No he wouldn't. He can underwrite debt through sponsorship.

 

As I've said, he has a question mark on his ability to manage a team during European campaigns.

He should of changed the system within the first 20mins, Dembele isolated up front and Barca running through our midfield/defence like it was hollow, and utilizing the wide spaces.

 

Do you just sit on your couch and make up * to say on here? Brown was our best player tonight... Not got a clue what you're on about.

 

Games done we lost 3 points move on

 

I'll also add that new rule regarding last man fouls are total pish. It's now in the keepers best interest to foul a guy going round him because he knows it will only cost him a booking and then it gives you a chance at saving the penalty. It's all ifs and buts, but had he been sent off and they have 10 men, we may well of been beaten, maybe heavily, but not a chance it ends up 7.

 

From watching the game it was more of a 5-3-1-1

Personally I would of gone 4-5-1.
