Classic! :smiley-laughing002:

 

UEFA confirmed that the possession stats were 74-26. Screenshot from the match page of their official website.



Of course, the likes of the Record and Clyde would never dream of twisting facts to suit a false narrative. No-siree.

Sadly the 90-10 thing will quickly become fact when it is in fact a myth.

 

To be fair, Madrid are one of the few teams that can give as good as they get against Barca. Still, If we were tighter with our passing we would of got forward more on the counter.

 

Schuster's made himself look an idiot with his comments. Anybody who brands Celtic a defensive team has obviously hardly ever seen us play.

Every single team that visits the Nou Camp, including the likes of Real Madrid/Inter Milan/Chelsea etc, gets forced on to the back foot and ends up having to spend most of their time defending. That's what Barcelona do to teams! If teams like Chelsea end up playing 10 men behind the ball in the Nou Camp then what is Bernd Schuster really expecting from Celtic? We weren't even that defensive anyway, we played 4-4-1-1 and tried to attack when opportunities to do so came along.

These comments really are silly and I've no idea what inspired Schuster to make them.

 

At least Lenny and the bhoys had the balls to take Barca on. This * resigned as Madrid coach a few days before having to play Barca if I remeber correctly. Scared of being embarrased, which they were actually. They were beat 6-2

 

Excellent response from our manager * class

 

This is me just gettin home from last night, blotto, a pain in the * to log in just to comment but,

Neil Lennon is a * diamond. * brilliant.

If I was our manager and they asked me about that no-mark wallopers comments I honestly would've just whapped ma * out on the table n went Yas * you ya * nobody!

Thats why Lenny's the gaffer n Im no.:icon_mrgreen:

 

Seeing as it's a Champions League game and those stats are from UEFA themselves I'll take their word for it before anyone elses

Especially before rags like The Daily Rankers and SSB.

 

Bent Shechter, crawl back intae yer ain hole, ya fud.

 

Schuster also said that UEFA need some sort of system to sort out the wheat from the chaff so that only the best teams get into the CL proper. Has he never heard of the qualifying rounds? what a buffoon!

 

Never heard of him........who cares what he thinks.

 

Did Forrest get booked?

 

Shuster eat *...

ya * daft *.ye know * all about fooball

 

the record have printed it was a mistake today small bit in the corner of page 65,saying it was a uefa gaffe

 

:smiley-laughing002:

They really are beneath contempt.

 

All Threads Merged.

 

Spartak is the key game, we win that, we go through I believe

 

Say Celtic lose to Barca - Celtic stand on 4 points
Benfica beat Spartak at home - Benfina stand on 4 points.

Celtic lose to Benfica away - Celtic 4 - Benfica 7
Spartak lose to barca - Spartak 3

Benfica get beat by a few of Barca - 7 points
Celtic beat Spartak at home - Celtic 7 with better GD

Celtic currently 0 GD
Benfica -3 GD

Now someone tell me if this could happen or have I went wrong somewhere? I'm sure Benfica and Spartak will be tight so GD should only change by 1/2.

Now that's surely the worst that can happen (Yes ino we could lose at home to Spartak) but I'm sure we am eat points of Barca and Benfica.

 

Goes on head to head mate, not goal difference. Which means if Benfica win their two home games and we lose to Barca then they are through.

 

I see. So basically if we don't pick up any against Barca we need to atleast get a draw away to Benfica and bear Spartak at home?
