Manchester united beat Roma 1 - 0 Rooney 70th min.
Not looking forward to our (Celtic) visit to Milan tonight, could be another wopping.
Well the Celts managed to beat AC Milan after all, I thought we were away so I didnt give them much chance out in Italy.
Looks like the night has been spoilt though after a fan ran on the pitch and gave Didi what has been described on the BBC website as nothing more than a "cheeky slap" but apparently the keeper was carried off on a stretcher.
Doesn't look good for Celtic,
Minimum will be a huge fine, Possibly a replay, Matches behind closed doors or even out of Glasgow or even a ban from the comp.
well done celtic and chelski..........and a very special mention for marsielle!!!!!!!!!!
i am jesus in disguise
Any woman that thinks the way to a man's heart is through his stomach is aiming just a little too high
After watching the highlights tonight after work, all i can say is that Dida`s antics were an absolute disgrace...... yes it was wrong for the Celtic fan to do what he did, but for the reaction of Dida
an absolute joke.....
LOOKS pretty bleak for celtic ok that asshole should not have been on the pitch ! (he better find out where lord lucan is hiding because he is in the brown stuff big time) but the disgusting antics of the goalkeeper were an absolute disgrace he went down as if shot by a snipers bullet he should be severely punished by eufa his antics could have caused serious crowd trouble !
when you look at the history of how eufa deal with things with this when it involves a team from one of the big leagues or eastern europe they usualy are soft with the punishment (look at how they ignore the racist chanting by teams from eastern europe) but they usualy slaughter teams from countries with no power to fight them back
i remember years ago a plastic bottle was thrown on the pitch in a game CELTIC V RAPID VIENA(CUP WINNERS CUP) Celtic won 3 -0 but were ordered to replay the game at old trafford manchester and lost 1-0 rapid went on to the final that year against EVERTON.
TO BE FAIR milan are not pushing for anything to happen after the game ancelotti and a club official both said that milan were not complaining about the incident and that they were beaten fair and square
Cutting down on alcohol tobacco products and sex wont help you live longer It WIll JUst feel like ITs F.....G longer
Great couple of days for all the British Teams (other than Liverpool), bad luck about that one.
Good to see the Mighty Blues win in Valencia again, hopefully things will be back to normal from now on. Must admit, before the game would have been happy with a point from that one, but three was a bonus.
Will be an interesting next round to see if the winning results keep happening.

Who would have thought that Liverpool after 3 games would have only 1 point and is probably allready out of the competition? That is SOME surprise!!
Not really Tommy. Benitez is doing his level best to screw Liverpool up with his crazy rotation system. They were so fortunate the ref last week v Everton was a Liverpool supporter.
After the start they made to the premiership, I thought maybe this was their time to win the title again. Not a chance now. Its Arsenal and Utd all the way IMO.
Yes, they are almost certainly out of the Champions league after tonight.

Amazing, didnt expect Liv to lose. Surely wont qualify...

Besides the performance of the teams, I was again especially struck by the performance of the referees.![]()
I know it is a dog's job and you hardly can do a good job, but I fear the level of referees is going down month after month. You hardly see any good refs anymore.
For example, I always liked Pier-Luigi Colina. Of course he made mistakes too, but never in a way a game was too much influenced by it.
I notice it especially with British refs. When we see Premier League games here on tv, one often note the way these refs let the play flow. But as soon, as they cross the North Sea, they have a complete different way of leading the game.
A good example was the ref who was in charge of PSV-Fenerbache on Tuesday. It looked like a field hockey game. No flow in the game. A Turkish player was sent off for nothing more than a "yellow card foul", a Dutch player could stay on, where he deserved a deep red card and more examples like that.
Also I believe in competitions like the World Cup, Euro Cup and Champions League is it really time that they start with viseo judges like in Ice Hockey or the Rugby.
What do you guys think of that?

I'm a big supporter of the idea of video tech in football though I think the whole player/referee culture needs to change also. In rugby the refs don't take any shit but very little is given by the players. When you look at what goes on in football by comparison it seems crazy.
Apart fom the obvious (diving, silly yellow cards, etc) another thing I hate about the refereeing in Europe is how much protection goalies get during corners. It seems like every time they come out to punch it and make an ar$e of it the ref will give an instant free kick in their favour.
Yes, Brit you're right. Rugby is not really popular here in Holland. We only see som game highlights of the 6 nations games and the worldcup finals was broadcasted live on TV here. I don't really know the rules, but I was pleasantly surprised how well the players behaved towards the ref despite controversial decisions.
Also your remark makes a lot of sence. Same as the"unwritten rule" that the ref usually gives the advantage to the defending team. Hence they kill the game.
Last but not least, it is time football will use real playing time like in ice hockey and other sports.

I watched maybe the dullest game ever in the history of European football last nigh, Slavia Praha - Arsenal 0 - 0. On a cold rainy night Arsenal created one (1) effort on goal and that was in the 85 minute! But wtf, were through, havent lost a match since April and are top of the premiership![]()
I felt for a long time that video replays could be used to assist the refs in certain situations: questionable offsides, balls over the line or not.
My only reservation would be that the rules of the game would have to be very clear-cut. I understand that a player can be sent off rather than booked for "intent" if he commits a foul........how would a video replay assist the ref in judging a players intentions??
They could start with using the video referee for situations like goal/no goal or if a player is fouled just inside or outside the penalty area and shoul get a penalty. These are key factors in a game. You shouldn't use the video for every questionable little foul.
Look for example last night when Sporting Portugal was denied a goal, despite the ball was about half a meter over the goal line.

Its amazing to have 4 english and 1 scottish league teams in the last 16. Just hope one of them gets up.
My particular favourite would be Celtic, shades of Lisbon 1967. Only because they must be complete underdog as they were then.
Much more difficult now, but, then again........
United and Chelsea look to have decent draws, Liverpool Arsenal and Celtic have their work cut out tho![]()
