For the handball? If that was a penalty then we should have had a penalty
for the exact same thing 2nd half.

Much as I dislike our style of play, you do know that Greece won the last
European Championships and it wasn't exactly pretty football? You do know
Arsenal were successful under George Graham and inspired the famous "1-0 to
the Arsenal" song? You do know Steaua Bucharest won the European Cup on
penalties after a 0-0 with Barcelona? You do know Red Star Belgrade bored
Marseille (think it was them) and did a Steaua to them in the European Cup
final (won on pens after a 0-0)?
Unfortunately great football does not always win, and when a club doesn't
have the attacking guns it has to find another way to win. One of the great
things about football is the unpredictability, unlike rugby where the bigger
better team more often than not triumphs.
The number of posts from Celtic fans on here gloating tonight is pathetic.
It'd be nice to have some decent proper football chat rather than the usual
nonsense. I'll start a new thread with some questions and points....
