Ok can I just firstly say that some of the Celtic fans were out of order, with the chanting, there were 4-5 year olds in the stadium yet 60 year olds were swearing like they'd swallowed a bean! Seriously its so rude because your trying to take your kids to a game of football yet people go and ruin it because they're in a drunken state!
Ok anyway on with the game :]
What a game may I just say, to start off with Rio Ferdinand made the mistake of letting the ball go through his legs to give Celtics Jan Vennegoor a low shot at the goal to 1-0! The the second goal was issued via a penalty given by the ref after goalkeeper Artur Boruc fouled Ryan Giggs (for which he had to leave the pitch and Fergie later stated he would be out of action for at least 3 weeks!). Louis Saha took the penalty and snatched it into the bottom right hand corner. Then to our luck Louis Saha steamed into the box once more and hammered home another goal to make it 2-1! Unfortunately for United the defence just wasn't up to speed in time for Shunsuke Nakamura's free-kick which sped right past Edwin Van Der Sar into the net making it level at 2-2.
Second half came out and of course Ryan Giggs was then sub'd for Solksjaer in the first half (which I forgot to mention!), 2 minutes into the second half OLE GUNNAR SOLSKJAEERRRRR knocked Louis Saha's cross into the net and made it 3-2 to the Reds. There were many dangerous stages in the second half for United as Celtic came on stronger yet failed to get a goal intime for the final whistle. All in all a fantastic, tense match but it would've been a lot better if I didn't have an angry Celt screaming abuse down my god damn ear! :]
Well done United! All the way we go lads!
