Celtic will ask UEFA for their view on the way Juventus defended at set-pieces in their Champions League tie on Tuesday.

The Old Lady won the game 3-0, but Celtic boss Neil Lennon was less than impressed with the referee’s decision to not punish the “grappling” tactics of the Italians.

“As I said after the game, 10 or 11 years ago we got a penalty against Juventus in the exact same circumstances,” the former midfielder noted.

“The player was warned about grappling with Chris Sutton, the corner comes in, he did it again and the referee gave a penalty. Have the rules changed since then?

“You don't see our players doing that. There were pictures of the shirt coming off Gary Hooper's back - credit to him for keeping his cool.

“We needed a strong referee and we didn't have that,” he continued. “We'll compile a DVD and send it off and just look for an explanation on some of the decisions. The referee didn’t do his job.

“It's a myth that Juventus did their homework. That's rubbish. Juventus defend like that week-in, week-out in Serie A.

“If anything we had done our homework and we made sure the referee was aware of it and he was looking at it time and again and Juventus went unpunished.

“Gianluca Vialli said we should have had two penalties. Former referees Graham Poll and Dermot Gallagher…

“Trevor Francis said that even in his time playing in Italy it was never as blatant as what we saw the other night, so these guys can't all be wrong and the referee right.”

What a cry babies. And what a looser he obviously doesn't watch Juve

As the announcer of the game in the US said, it appeared that Celtic wasn't used to being man-marked on set pieces like that. It didn't matter who was placed near the goal for Celtic, they all reacted as if they had never been defended in that manner before. Welcome to Italian defenses, Celtic.

They'll get banned for piracy if they burn that DVD

As posted before:


Someone say sore loser? Real classy by Celtic to try and rely in penalties for a win they were never going to get. While Juve players like Buffon and Vidal with praise for Celtic, we were the classier ones. All they are doing is cause an immature media frenzy for a lost cause.

Celtic are always notorious for blaming others. Infact, I don't recall a time they've lost a game and not had something to say. Especially if it's against Rangers.

The fact is, they get caught up on there whole 'underdog' story, that they truely believe they should win nearly every game. The idiots at Celtic forget the true meaning of being an underdog in the first place.

Classless team, they don't deserve to play on the same pitch as Juventus. I hope we put out a strong team and get 3 or 4 more goals past them.

I already know our ultras are going to racially abuse and chant these Celtic players to death. Don't be surprised to see Juve get fined

Juventus to send a DVD to Celtic defender Ambrose titled "Thanks for the memories"

Blocking the goalkeeper is also a foul...Celtics special tactic...dickhead

if i'm not mistaken the "wrestling" people like to refer to would require both parties?? craig foster, one of the pundits done here summed it up pretty well. to paraphrase:

"the celtic player by standing there would stop buffon coming out, so lich is well in his rights to try to stop that...ugly but both players were responsible and the referee managed it well by carding both."

rather pathetic whinging. i thought whinging was an english thing??

dat premface/british logic. when an italian or foreign team is winning they cheated. when they beat an italian/foreign team their league is inferior and we all haveto bow down to the mighty british teams and their fans

Clearly when Italian teams beat British teams we are cheating duh all we do is use tricks and get pass the rules just ask Joey Barton

and celtic were the ones playing with their feared" 12th man" as well that were silent after 3 minutes

The general section thread is heating up. Apparantly we deserved a red card too.

i hope we win the competition this year and become even more hated by premfaces and bandwagon oil team fans

I am physically sick with people trying to soften this sport up. It's already too soft and it genuinely worries me that the sport will soon become catered to small, technical and weak individuals.

how can any juve fan not want to grab this guy punch him in the fking face spit on him and kick him when his down. i feel like that when i watch his press conference hahaha

Peice of shit manager and always a sore loser. He even has a pop at his defender in public the scumbag.

I'd love to smack him and do worse to scott Brown. Midfield 'hardman' went flying when Licht pushed him. Man the fk up. Wasn't complaining too much when he was snapping at Pirlo's ankles was he? It was brilliant when Pirlo floored him and skinned him at the same time.

Sad, but true.

he's just putting pressure on the referee for the return leg.

so that if we man mark them again...they get their precious penalty. and we don't man mark them they seek to score from corners.

you heard it here first...they will get that penalty in Turin...just for consolation.
