Of course this couldn't have happened, because they are shite, useless, play in a joke league, etc etc

Watched the first half, the defending was very solid. Seems the best way to do Barcelona is the Inter/Chelsea/Celtic 10 men in the box hit them on the break exploding heart technique.
Teams have cottoned on to them and will follow suit. Barca need to come up with a new strategy to deal with that , if not then I can't see them winning the CL.

Celtic had a bit of pace up the pitch with Miku and Samaras, which meant they were actually able to hold the ball away from their own half for brief periods. That led to the first goal.
Against Spain, Ireland had Robbie fucking Keane. Which meant the ball came right back into the Irish half every single time.
good for him. Terrible for Donegal though
Yes, but the point being though that while celtic were set up to break effectively (and kudos to Lennon for having the balls to play with 2 up against them) Barca still had plenty of chances to score, relying on your goalie to be brilliant isn't that great a masterstroke, it's having one of those nights when things go your way. Sure even Almunia had miracle games against Barcelona when we got results off them.
Or you might have a really good goalie?
and I've seen it used as a stick to beat Trap with (not here, but elsewhere) and I think that's just a tad reactionary and poorly thought out.
It certainly helps, and Forrester is a good keeper, but good players can have bad nights and like with Almunia, average players can sometimes have really good ones. I'm trying hard not to use the word "lucky" because it'd be totally unfair to Celtic, and disrespectful to how well they played, collectively and individually and to the work that they put in (and I think this has been overlooked, their dscipline too, only 2 bookings in the 2 games, one of those was in injury times, often sides will pick up cheap bookings against Barcelona and that impacts on how the players can go into challenges for the rest of the game) they deserved their win no question. But what I'm saying is that it was a night where things did click together for them, and I've seen it used as a stick to beat Trap with (not here, but elsewhere) and I think that's just a tad reactionary and poorly thought out.
