Then Pippo did not play a game for a month as well.

I totally agree... not becoz it's Pippo but becuaase he didn't play for a month. If they both played equal amount of time, I"ll also prefer Pippo....

ANyway..

I missed the first half due to a traffic jam How are we playing ?

you could say that ... the ball hit Maldini's hand, it was ball to hand but still many refs would have given a PK.

This would have been the perfect score for Celtic going into the break...0-0 is just what they want.

Pippo is being out-muscled, out thought, and out played by the Celtic defense...we need Gila and Oliviera on, though we may end up conceding space in the 2nd half, by giving up one midfielder...

But we have to change something...or at least I hope Carlo does at the break...this is no time to be ultra-conservative, then have to throw caution to the wind because Celtic score a goal.

On a replay, I do not see Ambro fouling when he hit a crossbar. Maybe there other striker, Pippo?, was offside?

How is the crowd reaction at the half time whistle
? I didnt catch that.

they were chanting:
"Carlo, listen to what mrki says, put a second striker and Gorky in"

just saw the "hand ball" again on a replay... we dodged a bullet...

Incredible start by Real it was. They kicked off the ball, the 2nd touch - backpass was bad - intercept - pass through and Makkay scores with ease!

I knew they understand me

True true .... but pippo isnt having agood game need more strikers as you mentioned , hopefully gorky will replace seedorf and that massimo will be sacrificed for a striker

He was not off-side, if was a terrible call. He was totally onside but it the ref made a mistake. It happens.

God, please help us in the 2nd half
we really need some miracle, we were a bit predictable
An expected tough match, Celtic has nothing to lose
