[Rollie]

just finished watching the game as i was flying earlier, what a performance! vintage juve in europe, almost everyone had an exemplary game, but i will single out peluso, barzagli and matri who were just stellar.

And of course, your man Claudio, who was essential for all 3 goals?

2 he should have done more on wanyama, but yes could be added to those 3 who i think were just perfect

"They did everything to upset us,” McGarvey told the Daily Record. “Pulling your jersey was the least of it.

“I was spat on, elbowed and their defenders were even pulling the hairs out of my legs.

That was so badass

I love it that when Chelsea plays like that in the CL last year, they're clever freaking geniuses. But when Juve does it against Celtic this year, they're dirty Italians playing catenaccio.

Chelsea were getting quite a lot of stick for it.

What Chelsea did last year was indeed parking the bus; what we did last night was a showcase of proper defensive skills.

We used a classic catenaccio style which would have made Italian coaches of the 70s/80s proud. What Chelsea did is parking the bus.

To the British media, catenaccio=parking the bus, when they couldn't be farther from the truth.

Did you guys blatantly cheat your way to victory?

If pulling shirts and pushing attakcers in the penalty box on corners, which every team does almost every single corner, is cheating, then yes.

You guys did park the bus. It's a perfectly respectably away tactic in a knock out tournament.

Hooper was trying to get in Gigi's cool aid, what do they expect?

We did but there's more to it.

We're going to smash them in Turin though. I imagine that was always the plan.

 

[Enron]

I know, you passed the ball around and made it look pretty before you gave it up at half field.

It's way better than hoofing it.

There wasn't much difference in the tactic, though I would argue that Juventus gave a better performance. Far more organized, and aside from the corner kicks there wasn't much of a danger from Celtic.

Like said before, Celtic fans are only acting this way because they were delusional enough to think they were a superior side after beating Barcelona. After they got embarrassed the best way for themselves to react to their loss is by saying we cheated given what's happened in the past. It gives them an excuse and a way to make themselves feel better and reflect the blame. A cop out no doubt.

Anyways, we're surely off to the quarters and they'll be staying in Glasgow.

Maybe next time.

I read a page of their forum and they're all like "Juve didn't deserve the win". You guys defended an all out attack for 75 minutes, how is that not deserving?

Imagine if Celtic did the same to Juventus. They'd be hailed as Champions.

 

[TrezJuve]

So, is Celtic through?

That, plus the fact that the closest Celtic came to scoring was a header that came straight at Buffon at the speed of 1 miles pr hour, and a shot that went wide of the goal ...

They have absolutely no arguments as to why they should've won this match.
