Don’t sell Aliyev short Chris – he got a straight red on top of his original yellow.

As for the restart before the Arsenal goal – it was the first time I have seen a “drop ball” literally handed to a player. The ref pretty much stuck the ball into Cesc’s gut.

The sad part about the own goal for Celtic was that Caldwell has been arguably the best player in Celtic’s Champions League campaign this year…

No need to be a jerk – I haven’t seen a clip of this in a language I understand yet and I couldn’t see the game yesterday. So, thanks for the explanation.

OMG, just like the idiot ITV commentator. It was a DROP BALL, of course the ball is going to be moving!!! It wasnt a free kick, it was a drop ball!

That was an amazing pass by Cesc for Bendtner’s goal – but was the ball still rolling when he it it? I don’t have a problem with the timing of the free kick – if the ref allowed him to play it Dynamo can’t have any complaints – but I haven’t seen anyone discuss that particular point.

Aliev had featured less than ten minutes earlier in a hilarious sequence where he lost the ball to an Arsenal challenge, went down like a guy having a bad night at Umberto’s Clam House, and then rolled a few times in “agony” without attracting any attention, only to spring to his feet (”like a bunny” according to the Sky Italia commentator) and sprint into the Arsenal half when Dinamo won the ball back and began an attack.
