The hand of Henri

Great goal palmed into the net. Ref of course nowhere near the ball and
linesmen too far away, no need for instant replay in this sport, oh no.

Henry's goal should never have stood, but to be honest we'd have lost the
game anyway

Not bothered though, we always expected to lose that game, and it doesn't
affect our chances of qualifying - if we beat Lyon we're through, which was
the case before last night's game too

Probably have lost anyway. I'm not sure under the current rules that it
should have been disallowed TBO. Certainly wasn't intentional. Personally I
think that's daft and if the ref thinks a goal has been scored or prevented
by the hand, it should be disallowed or a penalty given, intent or not.

Or if we beat Stuttgart and Lyon lose.

Slant on last night - the best team in the world scored 1 legitimate goal
against us in 180 mins of football. When you think of where we were just 10
months ago The Great Waldini should be in line for a knighthood. Class
response to Henri's illeagal goal as well - "we have to look at our own
defending first" - pure class.

When u consider our team is not worth half of the price tag on the rabbit
tooth then yes, we did do well and i for one am happy, 7 points in 4 games
is more...much more than i though we would have, i reckoned we would have
either 1 or 3 and that was it

Could that have been the problem against Barca? Correct me if I'm wrong, but
that is only Barcelona's 2nd win over a Scottish team ever in a competitive
match. Celtic only lost once in 4, and twice went to the Nou Camp and drew.
Dundee Utd have twice won in the Nou Camp, along with 2 home wins over
Barcelona. Why should we have expected to lose? I don't want to see us
hammered like what happened against Juventus years ago, but surely we have
to try and win the game and not be content to have got a 0-0 at home. Since
when was a home draw a good result for Rangers against anyone? The point was
made that Dynamo Kiev, after their defeat at Old Trafford the other night,
did not seem bothered by it. At that level no team should be content to lose
a match surely?

How does suggesting the Henri goal was illegitimate...fit in with this
definition of "pure class"?... Wink

It doesn't.

Walter never mentioned the fact that Henri's goal was illegitimate. Pure
class.
I felt I had to restate the fact that it should have been disallowed. No
class.

Walter Smith. Me.

See the difference?

lol....man I pure hate huns that do irony and self deprication better than

Henri Camara and Nolberto Solano Hm... both high quality players with a pedigree. Not the really big guns I was hoping for but better than nothing. The big question is: Will they last longer than Kieron Dyer?
