Bench a bit threadbare. Need a couple in this week.
Senior players missing: (is the new RB a senior player?) Mings, Torres, Onana, Barkley, Malen
Good to see Jed Steer in the pre-match build-up on AVTV's live coverage.
-
In the summer there was talk on strengthing the depth of the squad - not convinced that was actually true. Win this game and results go are way and its worth 11m and we have 2 keepers and 2 kids on the bench. And a youth dcm playing at CB
-
Bailey. Sigh. But I guess at the moment we don't have a lot of choice.
-
You have to have 2 keepers on the bench in UEFA games.
-
Just got a feeling we will be on it tonight. Great opportunity for Bogarde.
Listening to WM on the way in and could clearly hear the IRA chants in the background. Should be fun!

Malen not eligible. Garcia not eligible.

Yes but up to 6 senior players are unavailable tonight. 22 senior pros is as good as you'll get.
-
You have to have 2 keepers on the bench in UEFA games.
Really - I never knew that. Why that? Can you sub both on at the same time?
-
Have a great time everyone who's going...and be careful out there!
UTV!
-
Remember when they were trying to tell us that we have improved on the squad depth? All nonsense. We look thinner than last season.
Yet we are loaning more players out and have had no one else come in yet
Anyway enjoy the game everyone! Lets do this !!
-
To have that as our bench in a crunch champions league game as absolutely shocking squad management.
-
Win please.
-
Is that the Engels who used to be with us, he looked decent for a few games, then really shit?
-
I was looking forward to this a lot -but with the sour notes of the last few hours, I’m now dreading it.
Arsenal are a bunch of idiots.
-
6-0 Villa.
FTF
-

Wasn’t that before we loads of injuries?
-
I would love to be shit at work and still my boss wants me in any morning giving me a big fat cheque .
BAiley earn your wage , Im getting sick of you , you are playing in the champs league with Aston Villa , put some fcukin effort in for a change and make me eat my words.
UTV
-
Is that the Engels who used to be with us, he looked decent for a few games, then really shit?
Nah, different one.
-
Scales is playing too
not the Liverpool one neither
-

Nah, different one.
Ah, Capital.
-
Waited years for nights like this. Hope it’s a night remembered for all the right reasons.
COYL!!!

Ah, Capital.
I once got my Engels mixed up in Rotterdam and instead of meeting my client in a fancy restaurant I waited patiently in a dodgy pimps and hookers meet up place/restaurant/bar by the train station.

So Bailey, I'm saying 3 times he hits the ball at the opposition who's directly 6 ft in front of him. 3 crosses missing every Villa player and 6 times on arse.

Me to - it took me 3 shags and £600 to realise it
-
*applause* ^^^^^ (the Sinead O'Connor one)
-
Have Barca gone strong?
-
Bench looks awful, hope we've got enough. Proper nervous for this one
-
1.74 on betfair
-
Pubehead and Petrov are there.
-
After all the hype it's quieter than a League Cup game.
-
I’m watching on TNT Scotland it would seem.
-
Fortunately it seems that most without tickets have stayed at the fan park.
-
Have Barca gone strong?
Pretty much full strength.
-
After all the hype it's quieter than a League Cup game.
Love comes quickly
-
After all the hype it's quieter than a League Cup game.
Game hasnt even kicked off yet!
-

Max strength....but then they have Szczęsny in goal.
-
Copper told me they are having a nightmare. Saw several flashpoints as I walked around the ground.
Hoping they reopen Witton lane after the game if they keep them in

Excellent. Thanks.

The Judas on TV.
-
Proper nervous man
Massive game
-
I love Stan Petrov.
-
I love Stan Petrov.
Same.
Fucking legend in my eyes
-
Nothing but love for Stan. Still gutted he couldn't quite hit the level in the Championship post-recovery. Good to see him well though.
-
That bloody Allez song. Down with this sort of thing!
-
I don't suppose there are any little streams around? :)
-
Ha! The Ozzy tifo
-
I don't suppose there are any little streams around? :)
CL games are the toughest to find. UEFA manage to close most down. If I were looking and stumble across one I'm sure I'd share it with you.
-
Ozzyyyy!!!!
-
Absolutely love the Ozzy banner!
-
kasper the arrogant twat

be a great tee shirt that banner
-
I know it’s not currently big enough for where we need to be and the infrastructure is creaking for customers, but isn’t it a really beautiful ground under the lights?
-
kamara at the back then
-

First time in years that I haven't had one, not always the best but usually able to follow. So Cheers, Hopefully one appears.
-
I had a feeling Kamara would drop into the back 4
-
GET IN!!!
-
SCORRRRRRRRRRRRRRCHIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
-
5th
-
Get in Morgz
-
Great movement from Ramsey
-
2-0!!
-
Servers creaking, Rogers.
-
Do not take your foot off the pedal now Villa
Edit : Wow! Belting second
-
HOLY SHIT WHAT A STart!!!!!
-
Someone needs to put 50p into the H&V server.
-
Site in meltdown
-
Im in fucking dreamland!!!
-
Rogers 2nd was beautiful. Bit of a deflection, but this is one hell of a start
-
Terrific stuff keep up the intensity and finish this.
-
😳 Keep going
-
Destroy.
-
score a goal and we go down 1 place haa
-
https://x.com/tekkersfoot/status/1884694332206154040
Lovely pass from Watkins for the Second.

Not a good time for the Spectrum 48k server to go down.
-

-
Inter 1-0.
-
Atmosphere’s dropped a bit, need another goal
-
Ive lost my voice alreafy
-
Woodhall’s forgotten to put a couple of quid in the meter again..
-
First was brilliant football, 2nd was a superb strike. Keep going now, let's give them a kicking.
-
What a start!
This french ref is usually shit. Let’s be careful
-
There’s our standard defensive howler, got away with it.
-
Boubacar Kamara is woven from the finest silk. Utter, utter class.
-
Duran deal done.
-
Inter and ath madrid winning unfortunately
-
Site in meltdown
Not just me then. Guessing it's just the amount of users right now
-
That's a bit good.
-
Aston Villa only the fourth side in Champions League history to score twice in the opening five minutes of a game, after Valencia v Lazio in April 2000, Standard Liege v Arsenal in September 2009 and Borussia Dortmund v Zenit St Petersburg in February 2014.
-
Half expect a derisory bid from Arsenal for Rogers instead.
-
We're 6th as it stands.
-
Who had 11 minutes for the first time they mentioned who villa might be selling!!
Get in great start - lets dick this lot.
-
Kamara saved us twice in a minute there. Focus guys
-
anyone have a small river pleas
-
We letting celtic back into it. We need to not take our foot off
-
Kuhn looks dangerous.
-
Duran deal done.
says who?
-
I want Boniface
Wrong thread. But…
-
Emi learning from the Juve keeper
-
Can't believe Watkins or anyone will *want* to go now and risk any chance of further personal progress in this year's CL
-
Athletic madrid 2 up so unlikley they will fuck it now
-
Duran deal done.
says who?
The athletic has tweeted out.
-
Duran deal done.
says who?
Fuck me - on the other thread bonerface had gone
-
Can't believe Watkins or anyone will *want* to go now and risk any chance of further personal progress in this year's CL
Also, I'd assume, a top 8 finish will look quite attractive to potential players.
-
Should have shot first time there Matt
-
1-1 Lille.
PSG also winning the fuckers.
-
good football thought that was no 3
-
brilliant football - seriously ramsey staying fit would be like a new signing
-
Morgan Rogers is the first Aston Villa player to score twice in a game in the European Cup or Champions League since Gary Shaw's hat-trick against Dinamo Bucharest in November 1982.
-
Juve 0-1
-
Juve 0-1
Can we please say scores followed by good or bad. Do we want Juve to not win
-
Bloody bailey
Well done kamara
-
Paul McKamara
-
BAILEY FUCKING HELL! Pt 34662
-
I know Kamara is an excellent DM but on this showing I reckon him and Torres would be a superb pair at CB.
-
Worst stream of the season. Relying on the thread
-
bailey come on thats a simple pass
-
Oh Saudi, have you heard of Leon Bailey.
-
Felix or Bailey. Hmmm.
-
Leons been so poor
Thats twice in a minute. Seriously simple passes
-
Bailey not impressing again.
-
Cash really had to hit that first time. Even with a touch to steady himself he scuffed it.
-
AC Milan losing.
-
Milan 0 1
-
What's this not scoring shite? Garbage.
-
Worst stream of the season. Relying on the thread
check your messages.
-
Milan losing is good, right?
-
Milan losing!
-
Anyone near a stream please?
-
Most of the games that could affect us are going out way right now.
-
Come on Austin Villa
-
Anyone near a stream please?
Take me to the river please too
-
Would be nice to see a good free kick
-
Anyone near a stream please?
Check PM's
-
Milan losing is good, right?
Yes. We are above them now
-
But that’s not today…
-
i could do with one as well please
-
So I really don't mind this Champions League format, it's probably better than the group stage, but it does have the disadvantage of being impossibly complicated to keep track of what's going on.
-
Bugger, Dortmund winning.
-
I much prefer this format.
-
Defensive boo boo. Straight at Emi though
-
So I really don't mind this Champions League format, it's probably better than the group stage, but it does have the disadvantage of being impossibly complicated to keep track of what's going on.
.a
Completely agree buddy. I was sceptical at first but man much better and fairer
-
Nearly gifted a goal.
-
post from JJ
-
Bugger, Dortmund winning.
I always thought it was Borussia...
-
Bit of pinball off the post by JJ
-
that would of gone in...against ross county ;D
-
I'm loving this format, it's perfect for abig final day like this.
-
Cash in trouble
-
Morgan Rogers is the first player in UEFA Champions League history to score twice in the opening five minutes of a game in the competition.
-
Oh dear could do without this...
-

Being completely honest, I'd hoped we'd still be in contention to qualify for the playoffs at this point, or at least have some say in knocking someone else out. I genuinely never dreamed that we'd be paying attention to the other games because we're looking at a top 8 finish. In short, I love this format.
-
cash down
-
Cash not looking good
-
Here come all the injuries. Cash is going to be the new Reece James.
-
problem with cash he is a little injury prone
-
Yep cash is fucked. This is unbelievable
-
No wonder when he looks like an attacking threat suddenly.
-
SJM coming on
-
Ramsey is so good to watch.
-
I really wanted to be there tonight and now I am regretting it even more - the first 6 minutes must have been mad
-
JJ has been brilliant but the crap shot when Bailey actually does a decent pass for a change
-
Mcginn at right back ?
-
Not another injury? We're cursed.
-
Arsenal losing.
-
Goodness me, it's not like us to be unlucky with injuries. Unheard of.
-
Such a savage blow to Cash.
-
So where is McGinn going to play? Switch formation?
-
They should be bringing Nedeljkovic on; a proper fullback, rather than shifting Bogarde across.
-
Lamar going to RB so no biggie 😌
-
Bogey to RB SJM in midfield.
-
Arsenal losing.
Ha, fuck em.
-
Cash been great today. Such a shame
-
Off the line ffs
-
I’ve got to admit, I’m loving the new CL format. This feels like a final.
And I wish we would stop doing defensive cock ups. Please’
-
Leverkuesen now winning.
-
So sloppy. We got away with that
-
Watkins off the line!
-
bit a powerr olie ffs
-
Fucking hell Ollie..
-
I get that that needed to be placed, but...
-
Watkins how the fuck you not scoring that
-
They're hanging on by their fingertips here. Hopefully this puts to bed the talk of whether these twats could be in the premier league.
-
Fuck me Watkins that was shite'
-
Watkins got to score there, should be 3
-
bailey did well too and JJ is proper on it
-
3-0 games done
Ollie effort was so bad
-
We need a third. If Celtic had taken one of their chances, we would be in trouble.
-
2-1
-
3-0 games done
Ollie effort was so bad
Looked like it was deflected to me
-
That is all on Watkins missing
-
We need a third to go back above Leverkusen.
-
I’d love Rogers to score a hat trick tonight. After a day of speculation and rumours
-
ffs
-
Oh bollocks to that.
-
What a surprise, we've managed to give them a goal
-
there you go watkins missing his chance and it comes to bite our arse
-
Has Watkins gone allready?
-
Well done ollie
I knew it
-
We need a 4th to go above Leverkusen now.
-
Atalanta ahead
-
Terrible from Bailey and rubbish McGinn.
-
Bailey off at h/t. Just too error prone
-
mginn assist
-
Bailey can fuck the fuck off now
-
That is all on Watkins missing
No it isn't.
-
I wonder if we'll ever keep another clean sheet in my lifetime.
-
FFS.
-
That's down to the cash injury, our organisation is not quite right on that side.
-
2-2
-
Watkins should have took his chance, gave Celtic confidence and they pulled one back, and we are about to lose Duran
-
Oh I've switched on so obviously it starts going to shit. Fuck off.
-
oh fuck off.
-
SAKE!
-
Oh fucking fuck off!
-
That's down to the cash injury, our organisation is not quite right on that side.
We are shite at adapting largely. Have been for seemingly ever.
-
Ollie just missing too many sitters.
How many is that this season?
-
Oh well. Lets see who we have in the play-offs.
-
U wankers
Unacceptable
-
Blown away totally blown away
-
Useless ******
-
shocking
-
We should have made this 3. This is painful now. Again.
-
Aston Villa.
-
Pathetic.
2-2 to a fucking pub team
-
Has Watkins gone already?
Arsenal asked him if he get the price down.
-
What is it with Irish internationals who never score scoring against us. First Glen Whelan now Idah
-
They deserve it. Celtic have been the better side after the first 4 minutes
-
So fucking bad.
-
See Ollie. That's how you finish from 6 yards out
-
You have got to be FUCKING kidding me.
-
What's our fucking problem.
Other than the twenty injured defenders.
-
So predictable.
-
File today under “shit” so far
-
Brilliant start then we just fold. Fuck off.
-
Ridiculous
-
Get a fucking grip Villa. Pathetic.
-
Watkins takes that chance and this doesn’t happen.
-
Down to 13th now. Forget top 8
-
Down to 13th
-
Watkins takes that chance and this doesn’t happen.
100% but people don't want to hear it
-
Regardless of a striker not making it 3-0, you shouldn't go from 2-0 to 2-2 in a few mins to an inferior side.
-
row of poo emojis
-
Yep all on watkins for me. Simple chance and again misses and costs us.
-
They deserve it. Celtic have been the better side after the first 4 minutes
get out of here! We've just gifted them 2 goals after being comfortable. Watkins not scoring has screwed this half for us.
-
Pathetic.
2-2 to a fucking pub team
Certainly some pub team defending.
-
Watch us go back into our shells now. And concede another 3
-
13th
-
6 pissing places we've dropped
-
Hearts the size of peas, you useless ******.
-
Regardless of a striker not making it 3-0, you shouldn't go from 2-0 to 2-2 in a few mins to an inferior side.
Exactly.
I’m glad I put my sadness bet at 2-0 for a Celtic win when it was 40/1.
-
Emerys going to be furious at this
-
Yep all on watkins for me. Simple chance and again misses and costs us.
We just conceded two goals in two minutes. That isn't Watkins' fault.
-
Watkins takes that chance and this doesn’t happen.
£60 milllion, yes please
-
Pathetic.
2-2 to a fucking pub team
Correct.
We should be 4-0 up.
-
Bottlers absolutely bottling this
-
Yep all on watkins for me. Simple chance and again misses and costs us.
We just conceded two goals in two minutes. That isn't Watkins' fault.
At 3-0 games over i blame him.
Defence is a mess though so they are also accountable
-
Yep all on watkins for me. Simple chance and again misses and costs us.
We just conceded two goals in two minutes. That isn't Watkins' fault.
Yep ridiculous comment.
-
Time to show some bollocks
-
Neither of those goals happen if Cash is on the pitch too.
-
Neither of those goals happen if Cash is on the pitch too.
Indeed - we can't adapt
-
Second game running we've started great, taken the lead, had an injured defender, gone to shit.
-
Yep all on watkins for me. Simple chance and again misses and costs us.
We just conceded two goals in two minutes. That isn't Watkins' fault.
Yep ridiculous comment.
It really isnt

If you're 2-0 up at home and allow the opposition to equalise, it's unlikely that your striker is your biggest problem.
-
That's a nasty challenge on Bogarde.
-
Awful sub again from Emery. Instead of bringing on another attacking RB, he moved the only DM out of the centre and into a position he doesn't excel at.
-
We're defensively very suspect most of the time, so I understand the annoyance, but seriously. Our best midfielder at centre back, a rookie out of position at right back, in the Champions League. It's pretty mental.

I do agree with that sam but man how many games has ollie missed easy chances and cost us games this season?
-
cant pass for shit
bailey waste of a space again
-
McGinn has been dreadful and Bogarde on the right has eliminated the threat we had.
-
Yep all on watkins for me. Simple chance and again misses and costs us.
We just conceded two goals in two minutes. That isn't Watkins' fault.
Yep ridiculous comment.
It really isnt
Here we go…..what has Watkins to do with our defending?
-
I reckon this is why we always play with the handbrake on. When we go for it, we get a billion injuries.
Is there asbestos in the pipes at BMH or something?
-
Watkins takes that chance and this doesn’t happen.
too many times this season , minutes later the opposition scores when he misses a easy chance
-
Man City losing. Doesn't matter to us, but still funny.
-
Bailey is a fucking liability so far. This season.
-
We're defensively very suspect most of the time, so I understand the annoyance, but seriously. Our best midfielder at centre back, a rookie out of position at right back, in the Champions League. It's pretty mental.
Kamara did well there until they scored but man we need him in the middle. Unai has totally fucked this up. I would have gone bogarde and konsa at cm but kamara in front protecting
-
Something to cheer us up, although might screw 5th place qualification, but Citeh are losing.
-
It’s not all on Watkins - that’s clearly factually bollocks. He should have scored, but we shouldn’t have conceded two simple goals regardless.
-
Ollie is in for a hell of a half time not just from the manager
-
Man City losing. Doesn't matter to us, but still funny.
Now we are in the playoffs it might have.
-
Awful sub again from Emery. Instead of bringing on another attacking RB, he moved the only DM out of the centre and into a position he doesn't excel at.
This, I definitely agree with.
-
Couldn’t give a shit about cheat city. We made this hard ourselves and we simply have no defence. Fuck this I’m off
-
Second game running we've started great, taken the lead, had an injured defender, gone to shit.
Good point.
Who is our defensive coach?
-
We bottled it against monaco whoch waa bad enough but somehow we have managed to top that tonight in this first half.
-
It’s not all on Watkins - that’s clearly factually bollocks. He should have scored, but we shouldn’t have conceded two simple goals regardless.
Correct. He missed a chance. He didn't defend 2 chances for them badly
-
Watkins takes that chance and this doesn’t happen.
too many times this season , minutes later the opposition scores when he misses a easy chance
In defence of Watkins he's brilliant without the ball.
-
If you can't defend a 2-0 home lead at home to an inferior side then your attack is so far from being your biggest problem that it isn't even in the same postcode. We keep throwing away leads, we keeping conceding 2+ goals, and somehow people think it's the fault of the strikers.
-
Second game running we've started great, taken the lead, had an injured defender, gone to shit.
Good point.
Who is our defensive coach?
That is a fairer question than Watkins is shit
-
Awful sub again from Emery. Instead of bringing on another attacking RB, he moved the only DM out of the centre and into a position he doesn't excel at.
This, I definitely agree with.
Yep, sorry to say I do too. Some of Emery's recent decisions have been highly suspect.
-
Watkins takes that chance and this doesn’t happen.
too many times this season , minutes later the opposition scores when he misses a easy chance
Agreed, that really changed this game.
-
Half time. And breathe.
And cheerio Duran
-
Yep all on watkins for me. Simple chance and again misses and costs us.
We just conceded two goals in two minutes. That isn't Watkins' fault.
3 0 and its over
-
Watkins takes that chance and this doesn’t happen.

Agreed, that really changed this game.
It has nothing to do with the defending.
Unless you’re weird and believe in luck.
-
2-0 up
Cruising
Switch on, play like ****** mode
-
What else should we have done? Who comes on instead? Ned, and then you've got a decent with two rookies in it. There was no good option.
-
Ollie always misses chances
We always fuck it up
-
A half that epitomises everything that is wrong with us this season.
-
Its a bit like west ham we looked great first 10mins then slowed the tempo
however we should be going in 3-0 up at half time >:(
-
Yep all on watkins for me. Simple chance and again misses and costs us.
We just conceded two goals in two minutes. That isn't Watkins' fault.
3 0 and its over
Exactly. You cant give watkins a pass. At 3 -0 celtic are done. That was a simple chance.
-
Exactly same pattern as against West Ham. Unless we can change back to near our starting style the game will drift into scrappy and that suits Celtic fine. Come on Unai - this is on you now.
-
If you can't defend a 2-0 home lead at home to an inferior side then your attack is so far from being your biggest problem that it isn't even in the same postcode. We keep throwing away leads, we keeping conceding 2+ goals, and somehow people think it's the fault of the strikers.
Yup - two woeful goals. McGinn has been poor and Bogarde just eliminates any threat on the right for us. We are so fucking soft.
-
No big surprise here
Gave it away on at least 3 occasions before they score
Get the ball up the other end of the pitch, we fuck about and encourage them to swamp us and then we make a mistake and give it away.
-
I am not even surprised.
Mentally we are weak.
The way we have played of late - consistently- we do not deserve to be going anywhere.
Is is unacceptably poor and it keeps on happening.
-
Why not just bring on Nedeljkovic and leave the best player we have bossing the midfield? It’s a fuck up.
-
Man City losing. Doesn't matter to us, but still funny.
thats cheered me up
now come on villa you can still win this of course
-
This is fcuking heartbreaking. I just can't believe we have switched off again.
-
We were great until the substitution fucked us up again.
Maybe Emery is used to only playing 4 teams a season in Spain and the rest can be dismissed by fiddling around and nothing happens to shake him. I don’t know. But there seems to be some odd subs decisions.
-
A half that epitomises everything that is wrong with us this season.
Yes, brilliance followed by total looser then some more looser, repeat.
-
Weak mentality within this squad. 2 games in a row an injury has seen us completely crumble
-
People blaming a centre forward for shipping two shit goals is mental. I'd fuck off to Arsenal if I was him. See where we are then.
-
We cant blame ollie for not taking a chance when were 2-0 up as the reason why its 2-2
Should have brought Ned on. Also shoudlnt have started playing like twats
-
What else should we have done? Who comes on instead? Ned, and then you've got a decent with two rookies in it. There was no good option.
Kamara is effectively a rookie at CB though. And now we're light in the middle, which is the bit of the pitch we need to control to ease the pressure on our shit defence.
-
This is such a tense game, potential for some real friction in that dressing room right now, that will take some management, really interesting to see how they respond
-
Too precise and ponderous getting it forward. We're not playing vintage Madrid ffs. Put some balls over the top and into channels. And when we shoot,put your laces through it.
-
Wow in the course of 4 mins 7th to 13th.
Tits up.
-
The sad thing is if we were to win we would be in the top 8 as two results are going our way
-
Big mistake was moving Bogarde to RB, rather than bringing on a RB (Nedeljkovic). Kamara is fine at CB, but losing Cash meant a loss of width which Bogarde can't add.
Bailey has been inept, which again stresses the weakness we now have on the right side.
-
Why oh why do we go with this tippy tappy shite ?
It sets a sloppy mindset and then sloppiness and half arsedness kicks in.
They are absolutely shit at the back, but we have decided to not attack and have let them off
-
I am not even surprised.
Mentally we are weak.
The way we have played of late - consistently- we do not deserve to be going anywhere.
Is is unacceptably poor and it keeps on happening.
Yep it’s pathetic. Bailey’s lack of tracking for the first was pathetic but McGinn’s lack of composure costs us the goal. Kamara clears if he doesn’t fly in.
Terrible again - after such an excellent start. I keep saying it if you can’t defend as a team you cannot try to played a controlled game like we try to do. You have to have a solid foundation.
-
People blaming a centre forward for shipping two shit goals is mental. I'd fuck off to Arsenal if I was him. See where we are then.
Yes, but one of them said Trump should be given a chance, so they’re not all bright up top!
-
Kamara is great but he does slow our attacks down.
-
Every game our forwards miss simple chances and then we suffer. Stick them away and it’s all academic
-
Bailey did well for the Watkins chance but other than that I don't think he's completed a pass. As soon as Cash went off we turned into a disorganised rabble.
-
Oh and special mention for Bailey
Inept in every single way
-

Should have signed a RB and CH on January 1st.
-
Oh and special mention for Bailey
Inept in every single way
And hiding. Again.
-
If you can't defend a 2-0 home lead at home to an inferior side then your attack is so far from being your biggest problem that it isn't even in the same postcode. We keep throwing away leads, we keeping conceding 2+ goals, and somehow people think it's the fault of the strikers.
This.
-
Bailey did well for the Watkins chance but other than that I don't think he's completed a pass. As soon as Cash went off we turned into a disorganised rabble.
He also set up a chance for Ramsey.
-
I'm another surprised at the sub, Ned should have been fine against these. Instead we now have 2 of the back 4 are playing out of position.
-
Why not just bring on Nedeljkovic and leave the best player we have bossing the midfield? It’s a fuck up.
Yep, for all the moaning at Watkins, he does this and yes, Ned might not defend as well as Cash, but you give yourself a DM still and not drop in a player who is ring rusty in an important position where he slides in when he didn't have to.
-
Watkins queued up to pork Bonnie Blue.
He still didn’t score.
-
Kamara is great but he does slow our attacks down.
He’s playing centre half he’s not remotely the problem.
-
Once again, as lack of intensity when in control of the game.
-
I wonder if we’ll see Ned for the 2nd half, Bogarde back into midfield…
-
We cant blame ollie for not taking a chance when were 2-0 up as the reason why its 2-2
Should have brought Ned on. Also shoudlnt have started playing like twats
agree with Ned , he does get forward alot so similar to cash soId gone with him. bogarde is more Konsa at RB
-
We are shot. If we win this now I'll be amazed.
-
If Mcginn dont slide in Kamara has that . hes too blame.
-
I keep thinking about that ball that bounced off the post back onto Schmeichel's ankle.
-
Come on VILLA!!!!
-
Watkins takes that chance and this doesn’t happen.
too many times this season , minutes later the opposition scores when he misses a easy chance
Agreed, that really changed this game.
It has nothing to do with the defending.
Unless you’re weird and believe in luck.
Not weird at all. 3-0 is a completely different game, and you know it.
-
I wonder if we’ll see Ned for the 2nd half, Bogarde back into midfield…
Putting McGinn on in midfield has completely opened us up.
-
Oh and special mention for Bailey
Inept in every single way
He is a special type of shit in fairness. Carrying him all season. There has to come a time that he has to benched. It's like playing with ten on the pitch.
-
Wrong sub by Uni. So frustrating to be in control and then fuck it up in a couple of mins..
-
I wonder if we’ll see Ned for the 2nd half, Bogarde back into midfield…
I doubt it as it will mean Emery admitting he fucked up massively.
-
Why oh why do we go with this tippy tappy shite ?
It sets a sloppy mindset and then sloppiness and half arsedness kicks in.
They are absolutely shit at the back, but we have decided to not attack and have let them off
Ramsey hit the post and Watkins had a shot cleared off the line?
-
We win I’m happy.
We lose I’m £410 happy
-
Yep i dont get why he didnt opt for ed. Put kamara back at cm ffs unai
-
We win I’m happy.
We lose I’m £410 happy
Wow what odds did you get?
-
Bailey. The 1st goal is totally on him missing the fucking ball (standard) and then being a lazy fucker in not tracking his man. The second is all about having no centre half.
Honestly, this is now a battle. Show sone fucking balls Villa.
-
Bailey in front of Bogarde is frightening. Somehow we need to turn this around...
-
On the plus side they are crap, we scored twice, hit the post and had one cleared off the line. If we fecking learn to defend we win this.
-
Kamara has been very good at CB and Bogarde was doing fine in midfield. One sub has caused us two separate problems.
-
fucking shambles. Complete lack of leaders. Really disapointing. We looked unplayable at times - against a Championship side.
We have, just have, to be capable not folding against a fucking pub team.
-
We have been doing this all season, missing easy chances and giving goals away.
Then you have Emery making strange decisions.
-
Yep i dont get why he didnt opt for ed. Put kamara back at cm ffs unai
Misquote
-
Cash and onana two injury prone players you cant rely on consistently unfortunately
-
On the plus side they are crap, we scored twice, hit the post and had one cleared off the line. If we fecking learn to defend we win this.
We haven’t learnt to defend in x number of games this season - I doubt we’ll crack it in the next 45 either.
We’re mentally very very weak. And I have no idea why!
-
Big mistake was moving Bogarde to RB, rather than bringing on a RB (Nedeljkovic). Kamara is fine at CB, but losing Cash meant a loss of width which Bogarde can't add.
Bailey has been inept, which again stresses the weakness we now have on the right side.
Emery error, in my view.
-
We win I’m happy.
We lose I’m £410 happy
Finishes 2-2 you're neither happy.
-
Every game now I am forced to say Fuck off Bailey. We are playing with 10 men every time.
-
We'd already been doing our best to get them back into it with sloppy passing at the back. So frustrating.
Wasn't going to drink tonight either.
-
The fans have a hige part to play make noise and get behind them even if they ahve bottled that second half.
-
Huge mistake from Emery. We make it so easy for shit teams to score. We shouldn’t have to score 3 goals to beat fucking Celtic
-
Opponents come at us with grit, fight and determination we have no answers (as we stick to our system) and fall apart. .
-
3 games on a trot now the subs have cost us
-
We win I’m happy.
We lose I’m £410 happy
Draw you're fucked both ways?
-
Need to finish these off before 70 mins. They had the week off and will be fresher late on, and we'll be huffing and puffing. Hopefully Ollie gets the winner, but anythings possible with our dopey defense.
-
Every game now I am forced to say Fuck off Bailey. We are playing with 10 men every time.
You could just not say it, you might feel better.
-
Last time Celtic won away in the Champions League was in 2017.
No pressure, lads.
-
fucking shambles. Complete lack of leaders. Really disapointing. We looked unplayable at times - against a Championship side.
We have, just have, to be capable not folding against a fucking pub team.
Calm down, stop posting awful bollocks
-
Sitting in the Holte and just seen he replay of the goals. Bailey absolutely pathetic for their first and made absolutely no effort to track the runner.
-
Last time Celtic won away in the Champions League was in 2017.
No pressure, lads.
Remember we are the points fairy….
-
Any suspect McGinn will see a red card being as he was so desperate to play in this game?
-
Strange there from Duran..
-
Kamara has been very good at CB and Bogarde was doing fine in midfield. One sub has caused us two separate problems.
Agreed, Emery has had a nightmare with his subs of late.
Before they scored three of our regular back four passed the ball to their forwards under no pressure, a better team punishes those.
Digne struggling for pace against their wide man. Tielemans a liability in a midfield two.
-
Bailey is out for the 2nd half. Yay. No changes.
-
“When Celtic’s equaliser went in - quite visible in the home end, especially near the hospitality seats, a number of Celtic fans jumped up in celebration.
-
Bailey owes us a fucking performance
-
Strange there from Duran..
With the club stating we wont sell Watkins to Arsenal, lets hope we've got this the right way around
-
Yep all on watkins for me. Simple chance and again misses and costs us.
We just conceded two goals in two minutes. That isn't Watkins' fault.
3 0 and its over
Exactly. You cant give watkins a pass. At 3 -0 celtic are done. That was a simple chance.
If we're 3 nil up it doesn't mean that our defence wouldn't have conceded the two that we did. So I don't think it would've been over. Ok so it would be 3 2 at half time but I wouldn't trust us not to concede again. So it wouldn't have been game over.
-
3 2 watkins winner got to be
-
Singing about the pub bombings in town apparently earlier. Scum of the earth we really need to do these.
-
Strange there from Duran..
With the club stating we wont sell Watkins to Arsenal, lets hope we've got this the right way around
What did he do?
-
3 2 watkins winner got to be
I don’t really care who gets it, but we need at least 2 more
-
Strange there from Duran..

Having fun on the bench
-

Like the American Irish, classless plastics
-
Barca winning. Not that it matters with our result at the moment. But 16 points does look like it would have been enough.
-
Ref's left his cards back in the hotel
-
Bailey owes us a fucking performance
I'll raise you.
-
Singing about the pub bombings in town apparently earlier. Scum of the earth we really need to do these.
Morons.
Singing about killing Brummies and Irish Brummies and Irish.
How very grown up
-
Bailey couldn't place a bet, honestly
-
Fucking bailey man
-
ffs bailey hit it or pass to a vila player rubbuish
-
Any proof they were singing about it or is it based on a random Twitter post?
-
Well done Yamal Barca, what a player.
-
Milan 2-0 down
VAR still 1-0
-
Commentator saying that Bailey hasn't been at his best tonight - doesn't he know he always plays like that?
-
Just win this bastard game!
-
Bailey owes us a fucking performance
I'll raise you.
Yeah one in 38+ games isn’t too much too ask really.
-
Shit ball bailey!!
-
Results going our way and we are making this lot look good. Sort it out villa
-

Disgraceful knuckle draggers.
-

You were off?

Much better Bailey.
What killed Celtic was pace of pass - play it fucking quickly.
-
Put your boot through it Rogers
-
Results going our way and we are making this lot look good. Sort it out villa
You were off?
Like the terminator I’m back.
-
They want us to slow the pace - it’s so fucking obvious.
-
We win I’m happy.
We lose I’m £410 happy
Wow what odds did you get?
40/1 when we were 2-0!
-
Permutations = Atalanta losing 1-0 at the Nou Camp. Milan losing and down to 10. If we win, they both have to turn those results around or we're through. So let's just all calm down and get the win.
-
Konsa playing like we're on easy street
-
Milan 1-1
-

Thank you very much.
Now we need to win this and not fuck up defensively too many more times
-
Get loads of attackers on, that always works!!!!
-

Like the terminator I’m back.
Good. Let's suffer this all together.
-
put these chances away Villa
-
Get loads of attackers on, that always works!!!!
c Paul ex Celt Lambert 2013.
-
I’m refreshing furiously hoping for a PWS good news call.
-
Get loads of attackers on, that always works!!!!
Lambert would.
-
Own goal puts jammy cnuts at C115 ahead.
-
It’s the Villa way but bloody hell…..!
-
Bailey just needs to do something. Anything. Anything at all.
His touch is better tonight but he end product is… yeah
-
bailey having the ball loads and doing..... fuck all
-
Feels like a Duran parting gift should be how this finishes up.
-
What the bloody hell was that free kick?
-
He might just turn around and punt a 40 yard OG in if he is off.
-
What teh fuck was that youri ??
-
SCOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRCHIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
-
OLLIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
-
Ollllliiieeeeeeeeeee!!!!
-
YEaaaahhhhh thats a fuck you Arsenal face.
-
Yeeeessssss!!!!!!!
-
Have that you Watkins hating bastards!
-
Feels like a Duran parting gift should be how this finishes up.
Will be interesting to see if Unai puts him on in the circumstances.
-
Milan 2-1 down
-
Yessssssss

Yessssssss ollie !!!!!!
-

-
That's been coming, totally on top this half.
-
Have that you Watkins hating bastards!

-
Come on Villa. See this out please!
-
Where are we in the table now???
-
Great from McGinn and JJ.
-
Back in the top 8
-
Birlliant goal! well done Mcgiin, Rogers and Ramsey
-
Vintage SJM
-
Fucking yay!!!
-

7th
-
Get another 2 please.
-
Now don’t fuck it up. And score another. Please!
-
rogers . meatball and JJ ( best player tonight ) brilliant footy and watkins finish
-
Great move, split them wide open.
-
So fucking sloppy - don’t play in that fucking corner.
-
Concentrate now you idiots
-
Flappy Martinez at it again
-
Get another 2 please.
You want us to only draw then?
-
Free corner to celtic
-
I was in the kitchen for that. Was it a good goal? Should I wait in there for half an hour?
-
7th, above Lille on GD.
-
Back up to 7th as it stands.
-
Could be 4
-
Ollie only needs to score four more now to ensure our shit defence can't lose us the game.
-
finish the job this time lads
-
Hells bells
-
bailey cant even keep possession and martinez blimey dont scare me
-
https://x.com/tekkersfoot/status/1884713985183744368
-
I was in the kitchen for that. Was it a good goal? Should I wait in there for half an hour?
Great goal, McGinn did brilliantly in the build up.
-
That's two sitters now
-
That probably should have been 4
-
I feel sick
-
Thats shoild ahve been game over
-
should be 4 2
-
Penalty for Villa
-
Christ almighty just finish it please.
-
PEN
-
Given away by Trusty to make it sweeter
-
I love PWS..
-
Fucks sake Oliie it’s a tap in!!!!!
Pelanty!!!!
-
Hmmm, not really a pen...is it.
-
Don;t feel we score this.
-
That’s getting overturned.
-
I was in the kitchen for that. Was it a good goal? Should I wait in there for half an hour?
Superb build up by Rogers and McGinn in keeping possession when they could easily have lost it
-
they always hit the bloody goalie .. wide lads penalty
-
I love PWS..
Get behind thee in the queue
-
Make it happen
-
WOW....never a pen. Atalanta equalise.
-
The tense wait…
VAR first.
The kick second.
My sphincter puckers
-
If that was awarded for them I'd be well peed off. But anyway, bit of luck...
-
Schmeichel with a starfish save just like his Dad.
-
I secretly love cock.
I hope it gets hidden in all the other posts.
-
Awarded - he did take out the man..
-
Once it was given it wasn't going to be overturned.
-
Don’t miss Ollie please.
-
Bollocks way over the bar
-
Pen given.
-
Pen missed
-
Oh fucking hell....
-
Thought so.
-
A massive divot in the pitch
-
He did catch Watkins first
-
A massive divot in the pitch
Ollie?
-
Fuck me, hat trick of sitters missed
-
…what the…?
-
Oh FFS...maybe it's justice though
-
wtf
-
Watkins you absolute fucking clown
-
Good grief. We’re not winning this are we.
-
Great
-
Groundsman to blame if we don't win, send him to Arsenal.
-
Warkins you clown
-
That’s terrible terrible luck.
-
He's just shit at pens
-
He slipped last year and managed to score. Must be his technique.
-
slip before and scored I remember and now this
-
Donkey! FFS
-
Watkins you absolute fucking clown
don’t be silly
-
WTF
-
Fuck me you couldn’t make this up.
Get Arsenal on the blower….£40m and he’s yours.
-
Don't they wear studs?
-
You couldn't make this up.
-
Warkins you clown
He fell over - calm down.
-
I bet Heck’s on the phone “no, no, sold as seen I’m afraid” (I will clarify I don’t want him to go, that was just bizarre..)
-
He slipped on his left foot, which makes me wonder what the ground staff have been doing round there
-
Fingers crossed this doesn't give Celtic another kick up the arse
-
A massive divot in the pitch
Ollie?
The ball.
-
Just get a 4th Villa.
-
Solid hat trick of sitters missed by Ollie. Was never a peno
-
Unlucky Ollie! UTV.
-
Ok, so it's not just the defence that fucks up.
At least we do it as a team.
-
Please get a 4th now
-
Memo to Unia: find another pen taker
-
Ok, so it's not just the defence that fucks up.
At least we do it as a team.
It’ll still be Ollie’s fault if we concede now because reasons!
-
Fuck me, hat trick of sitters missed
leave it out!
-
If the pitch gives way under your standing foot you're fucked more often than not, happened to plenty of players.
-
Mcginn should have taken it. Ollie hopeless from 12 yds. Should be well clear of these now.
-
Kasper has made some decent saves against Ollies shots....pen aside.
-
Some really harsh comments here given the huge divot that got ripped out of the pitch.
Maybe he plants his foot a bit too heavy but you can't account for the top surface ripping like that.
-
Great effort Ollie, unlucky.
-
Unlucky Ollie! UTV.
Unlucky????
-
Memo to Unia: find another pen taker
And send the current one to Arsenal.
-
Watkins could have had 4 tonight
-
To point out I wasn’t calling Ollie a div. I thought someone was being sarcastic
-
Mcginn should have taken it. Ollie hopeless from 12 yds. Should be well clear of these now.
See I would of liked Ramsey to take the pens...always hits a lovely side foot shot
-
Warkins you clown
He fell over - calm down.
Ive never seen someone do that twice. He should be off pens
-
Watkins could have had 4 tonight
Still might.
-
Get a 4th please Villa.
-
That really shouldn't happen on a Premier League pitch.
-
Barcelona winning again
-
Fuck off Schmeichel.
-
Fuck me, hat trick of sitters missed
leave it out!
Why, he's missed 3 solid chances. I love him, but he has.
-
Too sloppy Villa.
-
Celtic almost make that 3-3
-
React NOW Unai.
-
Ian on for Digne
-
Got to get a 4th.
-
Bring on Ned for bailey - Bogarde into the middle - rogers right. McGinn 10
Just like I said ;D
-
Some really harsh comments here given the huge divot that got ripped out of the pitch.

Yep been seen before
-
Fuck me, hat trick of sitters missed
leave it out!
Why, he's missed 3 solid chances. I love him, but he has.
I don't think he's missed any 'sitters' - and the penalty was just weird.
-
I hope Watkins never reads these pages because if I was him this would convince me to leave to where I might get appreciated.
-
Duran plays, we've already won this
-
Ian on for Digne
Interesting. He has linked up well with Ramsey and Rogers when coming on late. But with our current makeshift defence.....
-
Duran plays, we've already won this
Agreed
-
Duran plays, we've already won this
What Bollocks
-
Barcelona beating Atalanta, scrap that I'm late.
-
Fuck me, hat trick of sitters missed

You don't get more of a 'sitter' than a pen.
-
Duran plays, we've already won this
Agreed
Yep I reckon so too.
-
That really shouldn't happen on a Premier League pitch.
Glad someone agrees with me here. Ground staff have questions to answer
-
Lille one goal away from pushing us down a place.
-
why do you do this to us Villa
-
Maatsen for Digne? Bit surprised at that.
-
One more and i think game done but we need to gwt it quick
-
Duran plays, we've already won this
Agreed
Yep I reckon so too.
Yep. Like we did v Newcastle.
-
Is the pitch sopping wet? Martinez spilling balls, the divot/slip?
-
I hope Watkins never reads these pages because if I was him this would convince me to leave to where I might get appreciated.
Appreciated at Arsenal?? They'd be booing him off rather than chanting his name.
-
Watkins could have had 5
-
Maatsen for Digne? Bit surprised at that.
Pace
-
Let’s not try and play in our third please. We’re too sloppy at the back.
-
Another sitter.
-
Purring is Lennon over the football.
-
Sigh
-
Another ollie miss
-
Another sitter.
That's not a sitter man.
-
Watkins could have had 5
At least he got into the position to have the chances
-
Watkins should have scored just there, though!
-
Is Watkins actually a striker?
-
Purring is Lennon over the football.
He’s been a lot more impartial than I expected.
-
Purring is Lennon over the football.
The match thread, read we must

Jesus wept Ollie
-
5 Live - Celtic arent at fill strength, yep unlike Villa
-
Is Watkins actually a striker?
More's the point is feeling okay
-
Time check please?
-
I love kamara man
-
Don’t overplay Villa.
-
We definitely need another, don't fancy going into the last 5 or 10 getting deeper and deeper defending this.
-
Atalanta level.
-
That penalty would have ended up on one of those weird compilation VHS you’d get in the late 90s/early 2000s with a weird “boing” noise and loads of repeats of him going down backwards. Usually called something like DAVID SEAMAN’S TOTALLY MENTAL PENNOS VOLUME 3 - TOO MAD FOR TV!
-
Watkins is our best striker in decades , give him a break. You have to make chances to miss then and he makes plenty.
-
Some really harsh comments here given the huge divot that got ripped out of the pitch.
Maybe he plants his foot a bit too heavy but you can't account for the top surface ripping like that.
Beckham did it against Portugal in a shoot out and the suspicion at the time was the pitch had been doctored and the portugese players knew about it.
-
Get a 4th Villa.
-
Come on Villa close this game down.
-
kamara absolutley bossing it
-
Another sitter.
That's not a sitter man.
Come on, he had to at least hit the target with that one.
-
Kamara we need to get him signing a new contract
-
Watkins is our best striker in decades , give him a break. You have to make chances to miss then and he makes plenty.
Decades??? I don’t think so
-
Watkins is our best striker in decades , give him a break. You have to make chances to miss then and he makes plenty.
Spot on. No pun intended

Atalanta have equalised.
-
Rogers you clown!!!

shitting bricks I am.

Atalanta level.
Lille get another and we are back in the playoffs.
Ediot: Lille get the goal but Atalanta still need another.
-

His hold up play and running off the ball is first class. His finishing?

Sorry Jeph, I'm half-cut.

Not really but apparently it's the done thing when not scoring.

Should be 2 players with Hat Tricks
-
Lovely ball there from Bailey. Schmeichel excellent again you have to say
-
This is tense. Not only for our game, but the other results too.
Schmeichel is having a cracker too
-
Superb Bailey, Rogers should score.
-
bailey brillaint pass
-
Atalanta level.
Lille get another and we are back in the playoffs.
Lille have got another.
-
8th as it stands.
-
Lille go above us
-
If only we could defend🤔
-
Bogarde is a real weak link on the ball at rb.
-
I always rated Schmeichel as a goalie at Leicester. He’s quality… and shown it tonight
-
We're playing superb football, Schmeichel is having the game of his life to keep them in it.
-
Watkins is our best striker in decades , give him a break. You have to make chances to miss then and he makes plenty.
Decades??? I don’t think so
Who would you say was better
-
Fuck off again Schmeichel.
-
Ollies workrate has been fantastic but his finishing awful
-
Lille 6 1 up blimey
-
Watkins could have had 5
At least he got into the position to have the chances
His greatest strength, absolutely world class. Where he struggles is with the ball. If he could do both he'd be at Real Madrid.

That should be us. We have missed so many chances. Story of our season
-
FFS these missed chances could well cost us - looking at the table GD could fuck us even if we win

I’ve not had this tense a feeling since that relegation avoiding game at West Ham a few years ago

Better than Benteke, Gabby, Dublin. Going back to Saunders to find a better player.
-
That ollie pen miss could cost if atlanta score ffs
-
Looks like I chose the wrong week to give up glue.
-
Yes
-
Lille 6 1 up blimey
That should be us. We have missed so many chances. Story of our season
A lot of it has been their keeper playing a blinder
-
Bogarde has been really poor at RB
-
Is 8th enough?
Yes

Yep

You'll notice the plural of "decade" that you just used there?
-
Lille have gone GD mad. Now if either Atalanta or Milan win we are in the playoffs. Or if we don't, obviously. Atalanta 2-2 at Barca.
-
Is 8th enough?
Yes
-

should be 7 here at least

Benteke and dublin were better finishers than ollie in my opinion
-
That ollie pen miss could cost if atlanta score ffs
the 2 goals we let in + the 3 more we should have scored will also be to blame
A 4th would help

Jesus Christ. The witching hour (well… 5 minutes plus injury!) is upon us.

Yes. We need to not concede and hope Barca score/ don't concede.

But not better strikers.

Yep real sphincter twitching stuff.
-
Aston Villa have dropped to eighth, and have one of the winners of Sporting or Club Brugge vs Dortmund or Atalanta awaiting them in the last 16.
Villa's fate is out of their hands, though. Another Atalanta goal at Barcelona would drop them in to the play-offs.
-
Butter on a bacon sandwich moment if we fuck this up
-
Yorke, Benteke, Ollie. Easily the best 3 stikers of the last 30 years.
-

I'll give you Yorke. Platt wasn't a striker - super player though. Still decades.
-

I can’t even think about food right now

Yorke, Benteke, Ollie. Easily the best 3 stikers of the last 30 years.
Yep, miles ahead of anyone else.

Yep, miles ahead of anyone else.
And Yorke miles ahead of those two.

Duran not coming on is pretty significant I think.

Love it!
-
Yeahhhhhhh, that's why I got him on the back of my shirt....you fucking beauty.
-
Class from Watkins
-
Sterling just had his penalty saved....
-
Brilliant Ollie - never ever stops running and it wins us the game.
-
Hatrick hero!!!
-
Very very very unselfish from Ollie there.
-
That’ll do
-
SCOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRCHIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
The finest word in the world!
-
Rogers yesssssss!
-
First euro hattrick since Shaw.
-
Glad Rogers got his hat trick, brilliant work from Ollie to create it.
-
Yessssssssss!!!!!
-
Champs league hattrick for Rogers - phenomenal.
-
Good work lads!
-
Where does that put us
-
Fuck yeah!
-
Thanks god, Ollie was the provider and it was left to Rogers to finish!!!
-
Fair play ollie that was superb by him
-
Forget Duran, we've got Rogers....
-
Fucking hell. Can I relax now? This was too tense

Still need Barca to not fuck it up now.

We’ve done all we can do. With the exception of conceding 2 which we could have done without
-
Thank god for Morgan Rogers

Why?
If someone described a person with a Palestine flag that way how would you feel?
-
Not that they were racist.

Not that they were racist.
Beg to differ. I have friends on both sides of that divide. To describe someone with an Israeli flag as a 'wanker' with no context is just straight up anti-semetic. During the week we remember the holocaust as well. Disgusting.
-
It is possible to criticise Israel, to not like Israel, to think Israel has just spent the past 15 months engaged in ethnic cleansing and not be antisemitic. Calling another poster racist based on that is flimsy at best.

Sorry Doc, but little Sir Keir, the former human rights lawyer(sic) wants you out!
