    I’d read about that, but never seen it before. I cannae believe they let him take the third one, having missed two already.

    Strikers are all ego.

    Btw, blackeyedbhoy, I hope your team are ready for a Champions League doing tonight!

    Aye, we’ll see, we’ll see… Tonight’s the night for Celtic’s first away win in the CL. 17th time lucky and all that. :-)

  4. blackeyedbhoy Says:

    :-( Maybe it’ll be 18th time lucky in Aalborg.

    Stand up for the champions! Stand up for the champions!
