[Archived] Celtic Last Night

[thenodrog]

It was a planned and deliberant attempt to do serious harm

Planned? C'mon USA he had less time to plan it than the time it takes to read the above. 2 seconds at most. There's no denying that it was a dangerous block tackle, and certainly deliberate but as I have said before imo it was a flash in the pan reaction.

Rem Balls on Dunny in the 'Battle of Turf Moor'?

I remember it was two-footed from the side ... or was it from behind?

Very very nasty that one.

6 Match Ban

No doubt it will be reduced on appeal.

6 Match Ban

No doubt it will be reduced on appeal.

A six match ban should be matched with an equivalent fine as I assume that he will still be getting paid by Benfica. Otherwise the club is simply getting punished and not the individual.

[Roar of the Rover]

Should have been more than 6 games, that was a career threatening tackle! Atleast 10 games or a huge fine. No place for that in football.

[Exiled_Rover]

No- you're being ignorant. You have made absolutely no show of any sort of humour in any of your posts. You may think it's instantly obvious that you don't wish ill on a player, but given your rabid hatred of all things Celtic repeatedly expressed on the board, it's not.

You have issues.

[Bazzanotsogreat]

You have issues.

Its plainly ludicrous to suggest there is any pre-determined conspiracy behind the “horror tackle”, there is no link or affinity between the player nor the Club to Italy. It was a terrible tackle, they happen it football look at the Kuyt lunge at Neville its born out of frustration and things that go on during a game. But when they do a 6 match senatnce is not punishment enough

Anyway if their was a conspiracy surely the Italians would offr targted a McManus, Wee Barry or Fletcher before Brown?

Looks like he'll have a few free evenings coming up. Think I'll take him out for dinner

lol, for Drog - The Battle of Turf Moor

Not much funny about that challenge.

[Hasta]

That is true. There is very little funny about the challenge.

What is funny is Kevin Ball saying to the keeper as he leaves the pitch that he 'got the ball'. Don't know if it can be lip-read on the link as the quality us a bit poor. Also, the challenge led to the funny 10 man pitch invasion from the Burnley fans.

That miss from Sparky - oh dear oh dear!

[thenodrog]

Hughes took years off my life with that miss! I'd have put my house on him scoring that.

Payton should have been sent off too. There was no chance of him getting the ball so out of a combination of frustration and malice he went for (and got) Friedal instead, and then realised that he could be off and pretended to be injured.
