Duran taken off after an hour.  He was poor. Barrenechea taken off also after an hour. Didn't even realise he was on the pitch, until he was taken off.

The drums at Celtic are very annoying. Is this local fans or Borat’s mates?

Fenerbahce v Benfica ft Jhon Duran may be worth a watch this evening, on TNT, just about to kick off.

0-0. Game was an absolute shocker.

What a chance at the end for Celtic to win it. Lines properly fluffed.

Rodgers agent will be busy for next few weeks. Openly critical of the board there again like he was when they wouldn't give him the funds to sign McGinn back in the day.

He will be back at Leicester in a few weeks once the scouring agent has been sacked.

Don't really fancy us having to travel to Kazakhstan for a midweek match, so could do with Celtic prevailing.

Surely Celtic prevailing would open up the possibility of a trip to Kazakhstan as Kairat would drop into our competition?

A Copa Sudamericana match in Buenos Aires was abandoned after violent clashes between fans, with some being stripped and beaten.

Ten people were seriously injured and more than 300 arrested at Wednesday's last-16 second leg between Argentine hosts Independiente and Universidad de Chile, according to local media.

A stun grenade was among the objects thrown by spectators while one fan fell from the top tier of a stand at the Estadio Libertadores de America in the Avellaneda area of the Argentine capital.

Violence flared at half-time as objects including toilets, sinks, pieces of masonry and seats were thrown from the away section on to the section below them housing home supporters.

Home fans then appeared to enter the away section early in the second half, attacking visiting supporters and forcing them to flee.

To be fair he was right on that one, that was a steal for us.

What is obvious is that no one knows what constitutes a handball now becomes it ( the law) is interpreted differently .
What is happening is that penalties are being awarded that would not have been awarded pre- var. I can not help thinking that refs are now there to sell the game by increasing the drama.

Well you do see corruption/ulterior motives in every single football decision, but how you can think that type of decision would only be awarded these days WHEN we have had some awful decisions go our way. Remember when Elleray awarded a handball because Delaney spun around to looking for the ball that had just been flicked up and the dropping ball hit his arm as he turned? I don't think "drama" was needed then.

Jesus don’t  bring back that nightmare.

The ball actually came off Niall Quinn’s arm
Onto Delaney’s arm. Surprised he couldn’t spot that given the x ray vision he had perfected by the time Emckmann let a ball go under his foot a couple of years later at the sty

Back in the day there were good refs, bad refs, and useless refs. Ellery was just a wanker, it was like he actually hated football and those involved and became a referee just to spoil it for everyone involved.

It says everything about the referees in this country that they're all built in his image.

So Aberdeen v FCSB, or Palace v Fredrikstad?
