True, but it's the same rules for everyone and everyone knows the rules, so at least it's fair in that respect.

2203: They are not shy when it comes to having a pop at goal these Milan boys. Substitute Cristian Brocchi registers their 33 effort at goal, but it is high and wide of the target.

Milan have been largely poor though. The midfield very incoherent in particular. Boruc has been fantastic, its only in extra time that Milan have taken control, but all these wasted efforts, you pay for those at this level, this game is not over at all yet, i'm still very nervous!

Very nervous match, but we only have ourselves to blame, wasting chance after chance. But thank goodness we are through! Phew!

Who knows now? It all depends on the draw as to whether Italy can have her representatives in the final.

I hope Roma can win the whole thing....then people can stop calling them chokers!

Maybe it looks different on TV with your high-def, but just to interrupt your kaka-lovefest for a moment, from the stands he (and Milan in general) was largely poor for most of the game, however he did score a great goal, which shows he has class, but is not even close to dinho yet.

Somebody on here mentioned 33 shots, I think we were told in the stadium 39 shots but only 9 on target. Which sounds about right, and actual really good chances were maybe only 4 or 5. Celtic battled hard but they are poor and should have been comfortably beaten, could easily have had a penalty and gone through (and had 2 or 3 good chances themselves). Milan are a quality team but they way they play at the moment won't scare the other teams in the CL.

scottish papers full of celtic hard luck stories saying they should have had two pens

any truth in this?

The Scottish papers are shit, they always suck up to the old firm and the morons who support them. It's best to ignore them.

Even if it was true, which it isn't, it doesn't matter how many pens Celtic could have got. How many times did Milan hit the woodwork?! It felt like five! Not to mention the Boruc's blinder.

They say high-def is more "brilliant" than reality. Kaka is certainly at Ronaldinho's level, and I am being conservative in my estimate.

As for the game--Milan are not playing well enough. Yet.

I think they might have had 1 with nakamura going down in the box, but I saw it live in the stadium without replays. Overall though Milan were poor, Celtic were awful I felt. They worked hard, but I don't remember them putting more than 5 passes together all game. They were camped in their half and hoofing the ball up to the striker to chase.
