More Champions League Woe

Oct 21, 2008 21:39

Celtic have just gone down 3-0 to Man Utd in the Champions League.  Now, although I'll freely admit that Man Utd were the better team (when a single one of their players costs almost as much as our entire first eleven how can they not be?) the first two goals, as the replays showed, shouldn't have stood.  Even the biased "I-Want-To-Get-Down-On-My-Knees-And-Blow-Wayne-Rooney" commentator confirmed this.  Oddly enough, going in at half time 1-0 down and then seeing that lead extended to 2-0 just minutes into the second half can have an effect on a team's morale.  And this is exactly what happened.  After the second goal Celtic's heads went down.  It was simply another case of "Celtic-Playing-Away-From-Home-In-Europe".  That must get to them after a while, and it certainly showed tonight.

The fact that we didn't have any in form strikers playing didn't help either, but that's an entirely different story...

This isn't sour grapes - Man Utd were classier - but I resent the fact that these two goals were given.  Psychology plays as much of a part in football as does skill

On the plus side we fielded six Scots which I keep telling myself can only be good for the national team, but we'll wait and see...
