Celtic vs AC Milan UCL 03/10/2007

For Maldini i dont care that much, considering he was most of time out.
Dida and Ronaldo are the keys to miss this match, which maybe will hurt us seing them in the stands.
Just hopin' we'll be able to score, nothing else.

Forza MiLan !!!

Any news about Nakamura and Hesselink? I mean when we're having a bad time it's kinda encouraging to know your opponent's quality players won't be a ble to play

Nakamura wont play, and another important player is also out for them, but dont remember his name.

I hope it's their goal keeper Boruc as he made many wonderful saves last year

No, it's Jan Venegoor of Hesselink, who is, arguably, their top striker

Well that would be very much welcomed just the same

Boruc's confidence wont be that high - he made a few howlers last week or the week before that, it cost his team 3 points.

It's unfortunate that Ronnie and Dida are in the stands yes, but it'd be far, far worser if that was Ambro or Oddo or Nesta.

I can't predict the scoreline, but I expect a solid performance on Wednesday, because we know how to own these European nights like nobodys business. Now I know many of us are finding it hard to be positive about this game, but Milan players must have learned some important things over the weekend. Those horrible draws and our 11th place standing will be in the back of their mind and they will be out to prove themselves. It's tough for us fans (and January is a long way away), but if the team has atleast half the brains we give them credit for...they will get their 'shiz' together for Celtic. A win would give us the lift we need to plunge back into Serie A, but we'll see what happens...

Forza Milan as always!

I think Dida will be on the bench, actually, since he was included among the players making the trip to Parkhead.

OT momentarily, but here's a little something I found amusing. This is the list of goalies nominated for the FIFPro award, as seen in an Azerbaijan publication. Here is where you praise the Lord for having such a short name.

"Canluici Buffon (Italy, “Juventus”), Iker Casilias (Spain, “Real”), Petr Czech (Czech, “Chelsea”), Dida (Brasilia, “Milan”), Edvin van der Sar."

The ref. will be Markus Merk...remember him?!!

He has disallowed 2 imprtant goals for milan in tow very important matches:

2003 cl final against Juve
2006 semi-final against Barca

IMO we will draw unless Inzaghi starts.

Boruc is very good gaolkeeper. just watch him.

thanks.

Yeah, Merk also disallowed Sheva's goal when we played against Juve in UCL Final 2003, but we won it anyway

Celtic will want to beat us badly as they still feel injustice at going out against us (denied penalties and all that), so they'll be foaming at the mouth to try and win. Plus with the way we've been playing (slow, slack, despondant), this will be their best opportunity.

Unless we stop feeling sorry for ourselves and don't start fighting (yes Cafu, Seedorf and others, this means RUNNING not WALKING), we will lose this match.
