Well worth the wait for this result, good win and a dominant one over Marseille on their own patch, that's 2 out of 2 against Lee's mob this season, even though his team had qualified already I think this one will be difficult to play down no matter what excuse is used. Rested my 3 main midfielders for this game, probably a good thing as Marseille attempted to kick us up and down the park, boys responded well and gave as good as they got, will be appealing Yaga's red card for a supposed dive, wasn't a dive was an off the ball shove on the touchline from Marseille boss, shocking stuff Lee !!! Hate to gloat but gonn the Gers , Marseille are almost mine, up on the mantle piece you go

Very happy with our result but by making a major error i may have cost us a place in the next round of the cup!
failed to notice our number one keeper T_Peterson was available for this match having served a two match injury!
so again played 25 rated keeper S_Kerr in goals, won the match 4-2 but lost out on 2nd spot to Valencia on one goal difference!
could T_Peterson have made the difference in the last game? 4-0 or 4-1 would have took us into the 2nd round with goals scored, but we will never know!!!

Yaga's red card was never a red, Gers appeal already in ! Our fouls/bookings were soft, Marseille's were down right nasty R_Acquafresca breaks clear of the defence! ... He is clean through on R_Higuita! ... Y_Kaboul brings him down! ... He could be off!!J_Digweed beats his marker ... L_Wallace tackles cleanly ... The linesman flags for the foul though! Unbelievable! It looked clean to meS_Davis flicks it over the defender and runs onto it ... He showed great skill and pace there ... J_Cole with a nasty foul ... That looked maliciousB_Yaga with a pinpoint pass to R_Acquafresca ... N_Nalise with the high feet ... YELLOW CARD!! ... He was lucky to escape with a caution!J_Jurado with a late tackle ... He certainly didn't mean itR_Acquafresca gains possession ... J_Digweed with a nasty foul ... There's no place in the game for that kind of challengeL_Copland plays the early ball across the box to find J_Jurado in space ... Yeboah with a late tackleI rest my case m'lord , ok Gers had wee shirt pulls and 50/50 barges but Marseille were out to maim my guys and targeted Aquafresca in particular, I await an Elite F.A probe into their heavy handed tactics. Example of similar Marseille tackle from the game !

Another good result for my lot, I'm surprised Juventus lined up with 451D with a 25 rated keeper and a load of reserve players as they had a chance to go through.
Shame I left it too late to go through but I'll just put my focus on the league now and take the league cup games as a bonus.
Good game Dragan!

Feeling rather fortunate to be through - we have Celtic to thank for playing for pride and knocking out Juve.
A classic cup tie though, Elite royalty visiting the promising (but underachieving) Div 3 outfit. Santos needed a draw and lined up with that in mind, whereas we really needed a very unlikely win to make sure of qualifying. The capacity crowd sensed a major upset as we went in 1-0 up at half time. But Santos showed their class after the break, pulling one back early on. Another twist as the visitors went down to ten men with still half an hour to go. Both sides played on for the win, and it was a great finish for the neutrals with the woodwork struck at both ends in the dying minutes. Overall a great performance by the lads, but the biggest roar was for the news of the final whistle at Celtic Park. An excellent game for midfielder H_Rutland, picking up the man of the match on his senior debut.

Made 7 changes to the team that beat Schalke mid week, but set up very defensive with S_Davies, Sektioui and H_Postiga all sitting on the bench. At the very least, we needed to make sure Bayern didn't score a great deal but did play for the draw if honest.
Had a feeling John would take the smart approach and set up to counter with his second string and like us leaving the big hitters on the bench just in case!
We made 3 subs at the halfway point to strengthen our team and to try and force the issue a bit, as did Bayern. But think it worked against us and in Bayerns favour.
So can't complain about how we played, losing 1-0 against Bayern isn't too bad and it left it in the hands of Liverpool to win by 3 clear goals away from home. Which luckily they didn't do!
Played away twice in this group and at home to Bayern, so to only conceed 2 goals in three games isn't bad at all and see's us into the pot for the next round.

Yep, kinda knew you would go for the draw and likely set up D, did think of doing the same but as I was through, thought I'd slightly have a go without being silly and just did enough to nick it and finish with 9 points. Malky almost done enough but was waiting for an RVN special to save him hich never came.
