You hate to see it. I hope Leicester fans are enjoying it, this is the biggest thrill you're probably going to get this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a good enough reason to justify anything ever. He's an absolute fucking freak. The breakdown he had when Rogers joined yourselves last season to imply it is better to be at a mid-table English team than the dominant Scottish one was amazing.

SirBalon 2,692 Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Celtic being knocked-out at this stage is a shock but what's happened to FC Porto is frankly the equivalent of a football earthquake. A club that size with the resources they have and the money they recieve from transfers has no excuses by ending up like this. I feel sorry for the Porto season ticket holders on various levels. @ASF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
True Blue 971 Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Porto going out is a massive shock, a team that always is on a high level. Team that you don't look forward to play against, incredible and it was against no disrespect Krasnodar who are miles behind Porto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panna King 1,012 Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Ajax got lucky to go through but this was always going to be a tricky tie as PAOK were undefeated last season and Ajax are still not up to full speed due to new players arriving and a lot of players were away at International tournaments. Ajax have APOEL next which they should get through to the group stages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not claiming it wasn't a bad time for Rodgers to leave Celtic if he's given it the whole Celtic is my club etc... act but it looks pretty clear to me that Celtic have some problems. Complacency has well and truly kicked in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber nudge+ 15,324 Posted August 20, 2019 Subscriber Share Posted August 20, 2019 What a joke penalty given for Brugge... Barely enough contact for a penalty and Brugge player was offside before the "foul". VAR reviews it but lets the penalty decision stand. Fuck off.

Subscriber nudge+ 15,324 Posted August 20, 2019 Subscriber Share Posted August 20, 2019 0-1 HT. LASK have been a better team so far but Brugge lead thanks to a penalty gifted to them. Can't understand how it's possible for VAR to ignore the offside leading to the goal despite having all the technology - and that's in the last round of CL playoffs. Ridiculous.

I got into it about 15 years ago thanks to an Austrian friend who was an Austria Salzburg fan (and that's how my hatred towards Red Bull started); I generally follow leagues of German-speaking countries as a lot of their players join German Bundesliga clubs at some point; I have quite a few Austrian friends in general.

LASK have played well in the 2nd half, the least they deserve is an equaliser. What's most annoying is that it might just cost them a CL spot too. Instead of having a goalless draw at home they will now have to go to Belgium for the second leg with a loss and one goal deficit. For a small club that has been playing in the 3rd Austrian division just 5 years ago it's probably one of the few chances to qualify for the CL group stages and they're being robbed by incompetent officials using a technology which is supposed to make the game fairer and more just. That's just sad and infuriating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
