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...

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.

Thanking you :hi:

Sigh, you were doing so well with your maturity and balanced reasoning as well.

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 The classic commentary whenever Italian teams play British teams is the tired, outdated, cliché - "blah blah this team will park the...

Ahhh no way! Wish I'd known that last week, working until 8 tomorrow now. Heartbroken.

The tie was ultimately lost in the first leg.

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...

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...

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.

Giovinco is too much of a diver for my liking. So much playacting. Endlessly see him try to go past someone, touch it far too heavily, he realises this then throws himself to the ground. Pretty sure that free kick at the very end just outside the area was a dive too.

Yeah actually, doubly so this. Was it Giovinco who deflected the corner? What good did that do? Do we honestly expect a short player to do an effective block from there? No. So put him on the post, infinitely more useful there.

Can I just say - had we played the most basic corner defence in the sport - that is, have a fucking man on the back fucking post - we'd be playing extra time right now. Why don't we? I never understand it. Simply have a man on the post. The amount of times you see a weak shot of scuffed...

Giovinco was too concerned with trying to con the referee into getting decisions rather than actually playing football. His touch was atrocious, and he should have scored from the restart of Lazio's second. Remarkably disappointing performance from him tonight. And Marchisio should have scored...

Glasgow's a lovely city, actually, but sure - - - Updated - - - Have you received your ticket?
