Lyon-v-Celtic (scores)

kmart6

Half time 1-1 Lyon scored through Elber and Larsson equailised

smemon

ah that 1st goal and the 2nd were a disgrace, what was hedman at for the 2nd, really poor goalkeeping.

kmart6

YES 2-2 Sutton with the goal.Sila made it by putting defence under pressure

Serbian

Fortunate deflection to allow Sutton in there, but it was a great finish by Sutton in fairness. Overall Celtic don't deserve anything from the game. Lyon are by far the better team. Still 10 minutes to go anyway, lots can still happen!

Serbian

That should be that.

Fair result in my opinion.

BKtje

Penalty for Lyon in 85th minute.
3-2 Lyon

I was rostered to finish work at 7.30 tonight but the boss kept us all in til 9.15. I was in such a bad mood after that and I rushed home to see the last few minutes only to see it was 2-2 and Lyon had a peno. Couldn't be happier.:(

Celtic can have absolutely no complaints about not qualifying for the knockout stages. 7 points from a possible 18 (not a single away point) simpley isn't good enough at this level.

Well as a neutral watching that match the better team won. Lyon looked far more dangerous than Celtic.

I feel really sorry for them thou its a rotten way to go out of the compo !!! At least your in the UEFA cup poor old Rangers have to wait until next year for their next humiliation in Europe.

And at least Arsenal won their group

Saw much of the second half plus the goals - bad luck for Celtic (it was'nt a penalty but looked like one from the refs position) but what about Heddman? I can't belive he's still between the sticks given his error-rate in a big game.

I was obviously being sarcastic saying "couldn't be happier".

That is why Celtic got to the final of the UEFA cuo and the reason I think they could get to the final of the Champions league if they get out of the group, they are only good over the two legs.

results:
Celtic 2-0 Lyon
Lyon 3-2 Celtic
Overall, Celtic 4-3 Lyon

Celtic 3-0 Anderlecht
Anderlecht 1-0 Celtic
Overall, Celtic 3-1 Anderlecht

Celtic 0-0 Bayern
Bayern 2-1 Celtic
Overall, Bayern 2-1 Celtic

Therefore if that was over two legs Celtic would have beaten Lyon and Aderlecht and definitely deserved to beat Bayern.

There just **** in the groups.

what the hell are you talking about Armen. You may not have a lot of respect for the Scottish league but at least try and gain a little respect on boards before trolling or you will be band soon enough. You are destroying this thread with your stupid coments.

Armen Tanzerian

Did you watch United vs Rangers at all?

gandalf

Armen Tanzerian post something more relevant or I will kick your trolling behind out of here !!

Pepe LeFrits

Better team won.

Was hoping Govou would get on the scoresheet but alas it wasn't to be. Entertaining game tho.

When I said this level I was talking about Champions League , not Uefa Cup.
It over simplifies it to take each home and away match in a group competition and say what would happen if it was over 2 legs (as above). Teams play differently in the groups then they do in a knockout stage. eg if you are 1-0 down in an away game of a knockout competition, you might settle for that and hope to win by more at home. In the group stages, you are less likely to settle and press on for an equaliser.

Celtic of course could win the Champions league if they got into the knockout stage,(so could any of the last 16) but I think that it is highly unlikely that they would do so.

Desperately unlucky IMO, I was gutted for big Bobbo. Granted Lyon looked more dangerous but they were at home and didnt look half as good as Celtic at home. Errors from Hedman here and in Munich have proved very costly..:(

xlex

Bobbo is a ordinary defender at best, best of a bad bunch really, all braw no brain or feet. The back three with wing backs is exposed time after time. The penalty was harsh but the deflection of the arm (leading arm my ass) could have mattered and thus he was penalised. Celtic were very lucky to be in with a shout of anything at thatr stage and really you have to say that on reflection the penalty just reflected a deserved result...

rocco

It was a definate peno he was jumping with his arm in the air and it clearly struck the ball . He wasnt even near heading it, Celtic got what they deserved the defence was a joke at times. Gray was roasted by Govu everytime he had the ball . Balde is a very average defender he would be more suited to the nationwide league maybe division 1 at best ..

This is the greatest load of nonsense I've read on any board all year. Firstly The Champions LEAGUE is the name of the competition, so highlighting what the home & away aggregate results at this stage would be is completely irrelevant. A different mindset would be in place anyway. Why not crown the winners of the FA Cup as Premiership champions while we are at it?
Secondly the standard of the poor relation UEFA cup competition is signifcantly lesser than that of The Champion's League, so suggesting that because Celtic got to the final of the UEFA Cup last year they could get to the final of The Champion's League this year is remarkably naive. Liverpool won the damn thing a couple of year's ago and aren't even good enough to qualify for the Champion's League now.
I'm sorry to say that had Celtic qualified for the last 16 they would have been seriously found out against quality opposition. Without doubt the atmosphere at Celtic Park makes it a very difficult place for teams to come to and get a result, however their many limitations are regularly exposed away from home.

IMO Balde is the best defender in Britain and I will always stick to that. He made one mistake and everyone now thinks he's crap, how many has Campbell or Rio made???

He is defenitely one of the best headers in the world, he wins everything. He is still very young for a defender and I think he could be the best defender in the world given time. He has no brain or feet? Give me a break, he is an excellent decision maker and is also suprisingly fast and he is better with the ball at his feet than most defenders.

rocco

Give me a break he is no where near the best defender in Britain that is just a stupid statement

lili

me think the better team won.
lyon played very well and was the most dangerous. best attack. juninho is a world class player.

Please tell me the many players who you think are better and the reasons why.

He was so great at getting his players riled up. He is one of the most determined players I have ever seen and if every player was like him mentaly, their would be no stopping Lyon.

lili

he plays evertime like that for lyon:)
he is the best freekicker at the moment.
sure he is determent, but i can assure to you that the players around him are classy to.
i'm not far to think we have the best midfielders after real madrid.

Gary Breen is undoubtedly the best defender in Britain. Fact.

nlgbbbblth

a great week for football

both Celtic and Rangers out of the C/L

only pity is that Celtic didn't finish 4th in their group

kmart6

AHH now it would have been good to see two Scotish clubs in the knockout stages

utopio

hah elber shot one of the goals !!
But it is a pity, the scots are normally the best fans, sadly that no team of them reached the next round.
