UCL Last 16: Celtic v Juventus Chat

I had a dream last night we won 3-0

We then lost on penalties

 

Would be gutted at this, but would also be happy with the effort put in if this was the end scoreline. Lets hope for something special to happen tomorrow.

 

1-1 I say-similar to Udinese in Europa League game.

 

I feel the tie is already over.

I'm not looking forward to this as much as I should be (thanks referee you cheating *). If all the Celtic players give their all for the travelling support, that'll be good enough for me.

Speaking of the teams remaining in the competition, he mentions Dortmund, then us. Incidentally, no mention of Juve heh. Don't want to derail this thread, it's not about Mourinho, but a manager headed to the quarterfinals showing us some respect.

 

Dont think we'll do enough to go through, coming back from 3-0 down to a team like Juventus on their turf, just cant see it. As long as the team gives 100% that'll do me. Think it will either be 1-0 to us or a 2-2 draw

 

The referee will probably be kind to us tomorrow.

 

Actually, re TSO, I liked him mentioning us in his post match comments. Great reminder of a fantastic Champions League it has been for us ( and Scottish football!!! Haha!)

 

is it the same referee as the 1st leg? sorry for being stupid lol

 

i also think we will get a big decision our way ,refs seem to like balancing things out(idiots).not confident of progressing but its not beyond the realms of possibity, would love an early goal just to make it interesting

 

Gung ho

3 2 5

Nothing to lose...Ardiles Spurs style

 

* Mourinho

 

That's what we done at Celtic Park and look what happened. This game is about keeping the scoreline respectable. We have done so well this year i don't want to see us humiliated over two legs

 

This makes no sense. I can't stand the man, but I respect him lot as a coach, so (although it wouldn't change my opinion of him- he's a *), it would definitely be massive to get respect from a coach of his quality if it made any sense. Unfortunately it doesn't. Had he said that before the 3-0 game, I'd have been thrilled; given that the tie is over and he mentions in his next breath that he doesn't think Arsenal can do it I wonder if he was actually insulting us.

Also Juve are a massive club and currently have a great team (only the second best team we've played this season, to be sure, but a great team), I'm sure Mourinho is too experienced not to be aware of them as potential threats.

It's terribly childish of me, but I actually find it quite comforting that (unless Arsenal pull off an amazing upset) none of the teams from the "best league in the world" are going to go any further than us this year. I'm not proud of it (I like to think of myself as more mature than that), but it's how I feel.

 

Is it true Juve dropping 4 players on a yellow card away from missing next leg

 

I can definitely see juve scoring an early goal to kill us off.

 

What's the point of keeping the scoreline respectable?

Maybe UEFA will say..oh Celtic only lost 3-0 on aggregate so let's just put them in the quarters instead of Juve.

 

Would like to see us make a good account of ourselves. We have had some fantastic results in this competition and memories that will live with me for a long time.

This match, I would be extremely happy if we take a draw or a win, of any sort as we exit the tournament. Heads held high and gaining back a lot of respect we may have lost over the years of absence.

I think Samaras will be key tonight.
