discodave Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 Re: Champions League - Matchday 6 - Wednesday 10th December i like the corner handicap in the man u game aalborg are receiving a 5 corner start 11/10 with sj, if i know man united they are not going to be pushing too hard and youve got to expect 2 corners from aalborg at the very least aalborg will be up for this tonight whether they are capable of scoring even one goal is unlikely but to back man u when they dont need to win can be hazardous to say the least and theres no value especially as 1-0 is enuf for them aalborg +5 corners 11/10 their maybe better out there ive not looked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subs: Foster, Park, Vidic, Scholes, Rafael Da Silva, Fletcher, Possebon. Should be good enough to take care of those danish mugs tonight.

Shame I doubled them with United, wtf is going on at Old Trafford?? How are these muppets leading at ht in this game??[/quote'] Alright then, since you insist on continuously insulting Aalborg, let's take a look at how the Danish "muppets/mugs" have fared, compared to your own heroes :) Aalborg got a result at Celtic Park which so few teams have managed over the years (and as I see it, Celtic is such a great team there mainly because of the atmosphere and the confidence boost the Celtic players get from that). However, away from Celtic Park, it is (as I'm sure you're all too aware ;)) quite a different matter. Celtic's miserable away numbers are arguably the most embarassing statistic of ANY Champions League side - 0-1-18 after your visit to Aalborg, If I recall correctly. Granted, Aalborg winning that game was lucky, but I'd be surprised if the Celtic players' quite obvious lack of confidence when playing away from the UK did not have something to do with it. Aalborg bagged two, lead at HT, and eventually drew at Old Trafford. Not the strongest United team, true. Still, "muppets" drawing against a team including Tevez, Rooney, Giggs etc. is probably slightly more impressive than losing with zero goals. Both teams lost at El Madrigal, and you DID draw with United at home and beat Villarreal, and credit for that, surely. Villarreal is a strong side this year. Aalborg lost to United at home and only drew with Villarreal at home. However you look at it, the "muppets" had a more succesful Champions League campaign than your Bhoys. If you compare budgets, you would probably realize exactly how much of an achievement that is. I'm not saying that Aalborg is the better club, nor has the better players, but as a team, well, they obviously can fight their asses off and get results. After all, Aalborg is in the UEFA cup. They deserve more than your disrespect. :eyes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicko Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 Re: Champions League - Matchday 6 - Wednesday 10th December So much for the teams ''that nothing to play for'', anyone who ever did any sport himself, even if it was the sport classes at school should know there is always something to play for... Cluj Napoca, Aalbolg, BATE showed a lot of spirit, and despite the limited budgets and the weakened opposition they deserve all the credit. It is a shame some people here lost money, I also did on Chelsea last night, but this CL round will change a lot of my views towards certain games... The post above is a bit harsh, thommo85 clearly stated that that he only saw the Aalborg games vs Celtic, if he saw the Danes vs Villareal I suppose it would be different. Well done to all winners :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moridinn Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 Re: Champions League - Matchday 6 - Wednesday 10th December @nicko: Certainly. I lost money on all three sides as well, although I suppose it's what you can expect when you bet on matches that practically do not matter much to the strong sides. Concerning the post, it was probably a little harsh, and I edited it slightly :) The main point, however, remains. Whatever the credentials of the teams, I find it quite ironic for a Celtic fan to continuously belittle a team that has beaten his own team, held them at what I believe we can all agree is one of the greatest fortresses around, and sent them crashing home from Europe bottom of the group. At some point along the way, you would think that he'd atleast stop calling them "mugs/muppets", when they have so clearly proved that they are certainly not that. One of the worst CL sides this year? Perhaps. Mugs? Obviously not ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Home to Aalborg (pen miss and legit goal chopped off) Man U away (granted outplayed for majority of the game but the 2 offside goals for united changed the game) Villarreal away (again hard to argue too much that villarreal deserved to win the game but the goal came for a dubious free kick) Man U home (outstanding backs against the wall performance and so unlucky not to take all 3 points, coming within 6 minutes of a truely famous victory) Aalborg away (One of the biggest freak results you're likely to see in the cl, anyone who watched that game could not explain how celtic never walked away without all 3 points that night) and from what I hear a fantastic display from us last night to take home all 3 points. Aalborg are truely a WOEFUL team, and I'll be surprised if they last longin the UEFA cup. That isnt being dis-respectful to them, thats just the truth. In my honest opinion, they are the worst side I've EVER seen us play in Europe.....EVER. I cant explain how they took 4 points off us, anyone who has watched the two games will probably say the same thing. Gd luck to Aalborg in the UEFA, you'll bloody well need it.

THOMMO85, If you look at the Celtic-AAlborg game from another(different) angle, it is possible to rephrase your question. How good was Celtic's team really in this year's CL(or in the past on their travels: 0-1-18) or just in the mentioned game, when they couldn't get the result with all the chances that they had? At the end - result is the only solid reflection of the game... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
impressivegol Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 Re: Champions League - Matchday 6 - Wednesday 10th December well how i see it is, Celtic have only gotten one result last 19 road games in cl.

Thommo85 Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 Re: Champions League - Matchday 6 - Wednesday 10th December Oh dear, looks as if I've hit a few nerves here. Too many important things to do than to get involved in petty arguements Andy so will brush aside your childish nonsense. Was making a comparison with how the two sides set out their temas to play not "anti-rangers tripe" as you like to put it, although the snoozing smilie is probably appropiate to describe that style of play. And as for Scottish "muppets", that'll be the lot that got knocked out of Europe by the Hearts feeder team :) Ogy, the point about our away record has been made over and over again, but like i ALWAYS say in this situation is the facts dont tell the whole story. It's a freak statistic which will be put right in the near future. I could go into the real story behind every game we've been beaten away and prove this point but frnankly cant be arsed and got too much to do. Just the same way that Aalborg's away figures probably dont show a true representation of how they have played away from home. Could be argued they should have lost both matches. Ok perhaps I've went a wee bit OTT with the farmers etc comments, but I stand by my original statement. They are the worst side I've ever seen us play in Europe of that there is no question and I wish them every luck in the Uefa, but my honest assessment is that they wont go far at all.

To be fair you could bescribe Scottish football as a whole as 'tripe', I wonder could that be a reason why most proper football / non sectarian fans dont really bother with it.

MartyMcG_1967 Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 Re: Champions League - Matchday 6 - Wednesday 10th December I don't really see what the problem is here, its quite funny in that Moridinn and Thommo actually don't really disagree in terms of how the group panned out. Moridinn admitted Aalborg were lucky to beat Celtic in Denmark and that they were one of the poorer CL teams and when someone continually re-emphasizes how bad they were he is obviously gonna come on and defend his team. Sure I've defended Celtic often enough on here when people back against us at Celtic Park on here despite our superb home record.He actually even gave us a backhanded compliment in saying how well Aalborg did to get a point at Celtic Park, 'one of the greatest fortresses around' ;) In the first hour in Denmark they were terrible but we didn't make our dominance count by scoring a few and killing the game off and the rest is history. They obviously did decent to hold Villarreal to a draw and get a draw even against a depleted Man Utd side. It was one of those campaigns for Cetic where everything went wrong, missing a penalty in the first game and not playing well at all, going to Old Trafford without so many key players and some terrible officiating costing us two goals which were offside, Boruc off form and Samaras missing chances at key times. And the usual away day blues :sad Are we a better side than Aalborg? Yes But they are through and thats life and good luck to them. We'll be back.
