H-Dreamer Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Fun fact: Celtic FC advanced to this stage, even though they lost their qualifyers 1-4 and 0-2 against Legia Warzawa. Unfortunately for the polish team, they fielded a suspended player for 4 minutes, which means UEFA forfeits the game with a score of 3-0 in favor of Celtic. So it's 1-4 and 3-0 and Celtic advances on that lonely goal they actualy scored (it's the away goal rule) http://sport.stv.tv/football/champions-league/285519-uefa-investigate-legia-warsaw-over-possible-inelgible-player/ There is some argument for Legia to be bitter about this decision, as UEFA handled things differently in a similar situation in 2010. Back then the guilty club was fined, but the score of the game remained unchanged. http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/sports/soccer/2010-09-01-3501825507_x.htm UEFA double standards at work again it seems.

Jules Posted August 8, 2014 Author Share Posted August 8, 2014 I'm always happy for small teams to make the Champions League, but some big names drew each other here and that feels unfair. Lille and Porto should be in, as for Napoli and Bilbao probably. Now it's more Eastern teams who will end up getting crushed and play in boring, quiet stadiums on dangerously frozen fields. Meh.

I've never really fallen in love with them. It's just so blatantly corporate right now. Do they have plans to move into a real soccer stadium in a few years? I can't see this Yankee Stadium thing working out well over the long haul. The Mets objected to their Flushing stadium plans and they have since announced they are investigating a new stadium site in the Bronx, near Yankee Stadium. It'll be at least until 2018 at the Yankee Stadium though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuck them, they ruin everything! lol If the plans were for the Flushing "iron triangle" area, they were not going to go into there for a long time anyway. A lot still needs to happen before the bulldozers begin taking apart all the chop shops there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, Celtic couldn't even make use of their second life and got eliminated again. So they were eliminated twice in the same competition. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fletch Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Ref lost his mind in Arsenal-Besiktas. I didn't like the red but put that more on Wenger for keeping Debuchy in late when carrying the yellow... but the yellow card for the improper substitution (?) and the ref just starting throwing yellows for every foul for the rest of the game. Looked like the ref lost his temper. Another 15 minutes and it may have been 9 v 9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fletch Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Agreed that he was terrible, and he was throwing cards both ways. He just seemed to lose it and want to card everyone for fouls after the red card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H-Dreamer Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Bulgarian club Ludogorets Rasgard advanced to the group stage of the Champions League yesterday, winning on PKs against Steaua Bucharest. This is worth mentioning, cause Ludogorets Goalie was send of during the game and they had to put a Defender in Goal. He saved two Penalties and scored himself on the first shot. http://livetv.sx/de/showvideo/203384_ludogorets_steaua/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H-Dreamer Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Seems like Serbia vs Albania was a friendly and peaceful affair tonight... Appearently things went downhill fast, when someone flew a drone carrying a Nationalistic Albanian flag into the stadium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H-Dreamer Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 UEFA will decide in a week on how to dissove the Serbo-Albanian mess. It's till unknown, who exactly was flying that drone into the stadium. Meanwhile flares, stones and other stuff was already thrown at Albanian players before the drone incident and Serbian fans allegedly shouted "Kill all Albanians" and stuff like that. Nationalisms ugly head once again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
