CL: B. Munich v. Celtic [R]

[-cman-]

So, lacking any decent coverage by the Mouse, enlighten me.

Is Hartson good to go for the game?
Who starts in midfield?
How early does Maloney come on?

Any of you lot going over there? Ah, Celtic in Munich in Fall. That's the life mate. Have one of those really big mugs of Spaten on me.

Injuries will be the telling factor. Starting at the back, Mjallby, Laursen, Crainey, and probably Valgaeren are all out. That leaves us with 3 or 4 from the following: Balde, Varga, Kennedy, Gray, McNamara, Sutton. There has actually been serious talk of Sutton playing in the middle of a back 3. Gray played all 90 of the U21 game on Monday, so I doubt he'll be in the starting lineup. I personally think he'll go with the following: Hedman; McNamara, Balde, Varga; Agathe, Lennon, Petrov, Miller, Thompson; Larsson, Sutton. Not room for much else. Guess we could go with 4 across the back. McNamara, Balde, Varga, Gray maybe. It will be very interesting.

Gray isnt eligable for the CL, he missed the deadline by about 8 hours I think, thank god to be honest, with him and varga in the line up and hedman in goals wed be looking at a rout :(

Latest report I read says Sutton will play in the Center of midfield behind Henrik and Hartson.

[IamtheShark]

Any internet radio for this one?

[liverbird]

The Celtic site but it's not free.

[markdickson]

It just said on the radio that the German fans were chewing on their bratwursts! :)

[TheFallen29]

And Celtic: Hedman, McNamara, Balde, Varga, Agathe, Thompson, Petrov, Lennon, Sutton, Hartson, Larsson

Here's the starting line-ups: Bayern - Bayern Munich: Kahn, Sagnol, Lizarazu, Kovac, Makaay, Ze Roberto, Ballack, Pizarro, Salihamidzic, Hargreaves, Linke.

The Bhoys are frustrating them...it's 0-0 in the 37th...Soccernet's guy (live updates from there, if you're interested) says the Bayern fans are booing their team already. Hargreaves went close, but that's about it.

Meanwhile, for those who care, Arsenal is PLAYING AGAINST INTER THIS EVENING

[TheFallen29]

Half-time... 0-0 still, and the fans are booing Bayern into the dressing room.

Meanwhile, at THOF,ARSENAL ARE STILL PLAYING INTER

[Parkhead_Faithful]

We had the best chance of the first half, if it wasnt for an oliver khan wondersave bobo balde would have put us a goal up just before half time.
0-0 at the half.

Fixed by to the friendly local moderator ;)

Im off to watch the second half, you all play nice now.

[-cman-]

Just watching the UEFA.com match tracker mind you, but it looks like we are doing well. Kahn had to make two spectacular saves.

[TheFallen29]

51st, 0-0

Makaay and Ze Roberto blow easy scoring chances.

[TheFallen29]

Sorry about the Arsenal - Inter scores, btw...I thought the (R) covered everything.

My mistake!

[markdickson]

Celtic are winning!!!

Thompson goal

[TheFallen29]

Alan Thompson (56)

Great cross from Agathe, Thompson with a diving header on the back post.

Good 1, Evil 0

[Aguilas Del America]

0:1 Celtic
Thompson in the 56th minute

[TheFallen29]

Roy Maakay (73)

The ball is crossed in and Varga heads away but only to Makaay. A neat hit and Hedman didn't have time to get to a scuffed shot. 1-1. A great goal from him.

Still, one must be confident for when FC Prawn Sandwiches (German division) comes to Celtic Park.

[TheFallen29]

84 minutes, 1-1...Bhoys hanging on for dear life.

Bobo's been something special, apparently.
