If Giles was still playing Eduardo probably have a very sore leg, at the least

Pity about being a rank cheat because he is one hell of a player.

just seen eduardo dive,was the linesman blind as well as the ref $:-\$

ONeill · August 26, 2009, 11:46:19 PM

Diving is an awful trait in soccer. Here we have Larsson condoning it - http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11095_5098095,00.html

Disgusting.

Celtic being comprehsivly outplayed but it might have been different only for that act of sheer cheating from Eduardo... it is a scandal what he done and if UEFA were serious about cutting this out of the game, he would be handed a match ban for a game or two but we all know that won't happen....
No doubt Wenger will say "I didn't see it"....

I find it funny that the arsenal players wear the word "respect" on their jerseys. If theres such a thing as karma Eduardo will break his leg again.

You're some clown coming out with that.

Shocking altogether

A lot of gracious losers here

He is a cheating cnut, even Wenger who is a bull shitter at the best of times was struggling to defend him, his 'celebration' was just as annoying. Unfortunately he will get away scot free. It was an appalling dive.
The match itself was always beyond Celtic, but the first three goals of the tie were all fortunate.

I think we'll do better in the Europa league as the teams there are more our standard at the minute, we need a few signings before the window closes though
i see everton are lining up a bid for scot brown, id take anything over 6 million for him
he has flattered to deceive on too many occassions and is let down by his touch and passing a lot. he's nowhere near as good as petrov who we let go for 8 million

mowbray will probably want to keep broonie tho as he had him at hibs and got the best out of him

Why does it look like time up for Mick?

u sure u dont mean Caldwell? what has he to do to be sold, or even dropped???

I thought Loovens was commanding. It looks like time up for Mick.

Also with a few minor adjustments, such aslifting his head and improving his final pass, Mc Geady could mix in any company as well

Also thought Loovens was superb, celtics motm imo. I dont rate caldwell and mcmanus isnt a centre half (neither are imo). In fact I'd have odea and loovens.
Donati did some good things, maloney was dire.
Hinkel wasnt great in the def stakes - was maloney or mcgeady in front of him as he was completely exposed all the time - esp for the second goal at CP and the second and third goal last night.

I dont think I have seen as scandalous a dive where not touched at all as eduardo last night - well not one that didnt end up in a booking for the diver. He has talent but is a cheating fcuker. thats his card marked by all the epl refs this season and he only has himself to blame.
arsenal deserved to win the tie, though 5-1 flattered them given the lack of actual real chances they had.
Arshavin is a fantastic player !
Good enough perf against the epls form team at the moment.

Certainly Celtic put it up to arsenal more than arsenals last two epl opponents - making a mocker of people saying that Celtic woul dbe in relegation zone if in epl IMO.

Hope to get some decent draw in the europa cup. Mickey mouse it migh be, but it should generate a few quid.

Why if Artur fouled Eduardo did the referee not see fit to book him?

Shitty two games and too top off a bad night the Huns get into pot two for the draw this evening!!

Every team in Pot three are well capable of beating them though, so things are not so bad $:-\$

The ref would have seen it as an accidental collision, not deserving of a card but a penalty nonetheless.
Giles was in rampaging high moral mode on RTE, out and out cheats are the lowest of the low. Johnny would ban the player for 3 matches.

I was very pleased with McGeady. His game has clearly come on under Mobray. He has a much freer role, ball retention and distribution is better. Obviously he didn't track back Clichy.
With his first chance he could have passed to Donati? but I suppose he felt the shot was on.
The second chance was just pure McGeady football intelligence.

mcgeady could have put Donati and maloney through but he has scored from shots like that in the past and Celtic are sometimes too shot shy,imo mcgeady was great in the first half, good in the second and I'd expect a lot of epl managers at the top of the table as well as the bottom - will be thinking about putting in offers for him.

Probably, but apparently Donati is asking for Eduardo to be banned, citing the following precedent:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/internationals/6993901.stm

I must say, whilst I hold no brief for Celtic, I found myself feeling genuinely outraged when the penalty was awarded, and really hoped he'd miss it.

That said, I still had to laugh when Boruc "sent himself the wrong way" in attempting to save it.
