  1. [Champions League] Celtic 0-3 JUVENTUS (February 12, 2013)

    Just a lil bump of my analysis now the post match rush has died down. Celtic weren't the better team. A team is more than its players and their energy. Lesser manager and lesser tactics. Their players followed their orders to the best of their ability but those orders were flawed from the...
  2. [Champions League] Celtic 0-3 JUVENTUS (February 12, 2013)

    If Marchisio hadn't followed up that first goal, by the way, it wasn't going to be a goal. Neither the ref nor the linesman nor the utterly irrelevant "additional assistant" gave the Matri goal.

    Sigh, you were doing so well with your maturity and balanced reasoning as well.
  4. [Champions League] Celtic 0-3 JUVENTUS (February 12, 2013)

    We won for the simple reason that we were tactically superior and Lennon's approach was one dimensional. It was inevitable that they would try to blitz us with incessant pace and attack. Conte knew that, and equally inevitable was the fact they would tire. So we set up to soak it up. And wait...

    I mute Fifa when playing cup games and it's Townsend and Tyldesley. Unbearable.

    So gutted I didn't get a ticket to this. And then got offered a ticket but can't go now since I'm working til 8. God dammit. I'm looking forward to it though. The classic commentary whenever Italian teams play British teams is the tired, outdated, cliché - "blah blah this team will park the...

  8. Sale of tickets for game against Celtic?

    Ahhh no way! Wish I'd known that last week, working until 8 tomorrow now. Heartbroken.
  9. [Coppa Italia] Lazio 2-1 JUVENTUS (January 29, 2013)

    The tie was ultimately lost in the first leg.
  10. [Coppa Italia] Lazio 2-1 JUVENTUS (January 29, 2013)

    Wasn't a penalty. Wasn't in control of the ball after the touch, ball was already out of play. Firm believer of the idea the player should be retaining possession of the ball if they aren't clattered into for it to be a foul. None of this hitting the ball miles away in a random direction and...
  11. [Coppa Italia] Lazio 2-1 JUVENTUS (January 29, 2013)

    Agree with most of this except the goal. Sure a bit of a lucky flick through from the defensive header, but a lesser heart than Vidal's would've just watched the ball bobble through. Instead he had the passion to sprint in and stretch a foot out to narrowly control it and turn nothing into...
  12. [Coppa Italia] Lazio 2-1 JUVENTUS (January 29, 2013)

    I started celebrating on the ball through, then sat down again when I saw it had landed to Gio. The kind of night he had I just knew he wouldn't think and would just hit it right at the keeper.
