I didn't realize Licht was on a yellow. Should have switched him and another guy then. Hooper was diving like that all game.

He got the yellow in the first half when he and Hooper were pushing eachother in Juve's box. Both were carded. Then in the 2nd half Lennon put other players (Brown, Ambrose and maybe someone else) to obstruct Buffon and provoke Licht. I guess the referee didn't want to give Lichtsteiner two yellow cards for the same thing, and I think he made a correct call.
But there is so much drama today in the British media, so I fear that the other referees in the CL will pay more attention to Licht in these dead ball situations. He will have to be more careful. Then again, not many teams will present the same danger as Celtic during corner kicks so Licht and the other guys (especially Chiellini) won't have to be as dirty and noticed by the refs and cameras during set pieces.

that is an amazing album. Love "Brand New Cadillac".Mate trust me, the early goal just killed it. It was dead after that. You didn't even see 20% of what Celtic Park was capable of last night
This is what Celtic Park is capable of

Our fans can be amazing and truly be a 12th man on the pitch but like a lot of football fans, we have a tendency to only sing when we're winning. That's what I was saying with my post earlier. The team needed that kind of support when we were 1-0 down last night, not just when we're 3-0 up against our rivals.
I don't know what the code is for a thumbs up smilie on this forum but I'd give you one for the first sentence. I also support the Scottish national team so bringing up the 1966 World Cup does not make me happy and in fact would make 100% of Celtic fans very unhappy. 
We got a break with that penalty. It happens. Saying that I don't think it's the worst decision I've ever seen. There is contact but Samaras makes a meal of it. As if any of your players wouldn't go down in a CL match when a defender makes a challenge like that in the box..
Remember Samaras also scored the header in the final minute when we beat Spartak 3-2 away from home. Show a YouTube of that.

British football 1 WC in 150 years and even there they won it because of referee's mistake British football is when 95% of teams of ur best league are using foreign players 
Oh, and btw, how fast Celtics fans forgot that Samaras dive against Spartak and awarded PK because of it gave them the green light to quater-finals

Juve are cheating cunts. Cheated in 2001 and cheated in 2013. The sooner their fans accept their club for what it is and move on, the better.
I will accept defeat If we deserve to loose ans we did not deserve to loose that match and by such margin.
Juve fans with the swastikas and white pride flags at the game last night , Fuck them dirty cheating corrupt cunts .

Well I'd rather not even get into all of these incidents with the marking as there was so much going on it's impossible to analyze it all. I will admit there were Celtic players pushing and shoving as well. What I will say is in the British game if you stand with your arms out in front of an attacker at a corner it's labelled obstruction. The common refrain on this is "if it's anywhere else on the pitch, it's a free-kick". I guess the advantage is given to the attacker in our country.
Really I feel it's irrelavent anyway as even if the referee was sympathetic to that view the only difference is we might have lost 3-1 instead of 3-0 and neither result leaves us with much hope for the 2nd leg.
I know how important this tie also is for Juve. I grew up in the 90's and can remember when Juve were the top team in Europe and maybe the world. I understand you want to get back to that level and I think you can but ultimately you have more to play for domestically. You have to go back to Italy and fight to retain Serie A. We're 18 points clear in Scotland now. Don't know if you know much about it but Rangers were liquidated like Fiorentina and there's a new team in the bottom division. This means our budget is 10x everyone else in SPL. Not saying SPL is crap, for a country of 5 million it's actually a decent league. But when your budget is that much bigger than everyone else you will naturally win the title every year.
I'm not complaining about that at all because it's an amazing position for us to be in. But what I'm saying is since we don't have to go back and fight for the title with Rangers like we normally would, there is no challenge domestically. I didn't mean the games weren't also meaningful for Juventus. I meant for us this is our last meaningful game in a long while (maybe until next season!) as we've already got things sewn up domestically.
I definitely agree with you that we need a playmaker. We have a lot of tough tackling midfielders with energy but we lack a cutting edge right now. It's something you clearly don't lack with Marchisio, Pirlo & Vidal. It's beautiful to see three players with an understanding like that in the modern game. From our games against both of you, I'd say they're even better than Barca's midfield.
