Since each and every Celtic fan is playing on­ semantics, allow me to do the same. UEFA, by calling­ under revision the Eduardo incident, is implying that­ the referee (and, at least one linesman) were­ incompetent: they let themselves be fooled by a player.­ Incidentally, the goalkeeper should have been either­ red carded, if no other defender was between him and­ the goal line or shown his yellow card for a foul in­ the area. The weakest link is the player, let's ban­ him. Arsenal, if Eduardo is given anything other than a­ clean bill, should let UEFA know that they will not­ play a single match of their CL schedule while the­ punishment is in effect. Celtic fans should complain to­ UEFA that Gallas' goal in their first match, was­ "unconventional" he got it while he was­ diving, the second goal should not be allowed either,­ their own defender had dived, that Arshavin­ "sneaked" behind the defense, and Eboue­ showed too many teeth after scoring. That would leave­ Arsenal with no goals, and voila, thanks to Big Mouth­ Donati, Celtic would be in the next stage of the C.L.­ Coming back to reality, the idea that Celtic would­ have topped Arsenal, in London, is laughable. Two down,­ you are outclassed, outgunned, (no pun intended), out­ everything, worse you played like some team in the­ third tier of the Coca Cola Championship, and it is­ that goal that cut your hopes? Is there a Nobel Prize­ for optimism. Eduardo has had his legs cut under him­ physically, they could not do it again, so they try­ morally.

Does it not seem strange that Mr Plattina and co refuse­ the use of Goal line technology but are happy all of a­ sudden to use video technology to persecite individual­ players. Funnily enough when the world class diver­ Renaldo was diving for a pass time no action was taken,­ but as its an Arsenal player they decide to do­ something.

Who is this Donati? Is he a samaritan? why papers refer­ him? its all joking. rOALDO DIVES, rONEY DIVES, GERRARD­ divs, Drogba dives, and Gary's comment about Wenger­ is a shame. Edwardo has no history of diving. UEFA must­ think twice before they bn Edardo. A caution will do.­ Why Arsenal? it once happened to Viera and now its­ Edward of Arsenal..UEFA MUST BE TAKEN TO COURT. Did­ UEFA WATCH THE bARCELONA-cHELSEA game? Shame o you with­ yor double standards...be fair forclubs to e fair.

Say what you like but that penalty goal knocked the­ heart out of Celtic at that stage of the game not only­ were we 3 down but we knew a cheating scumbag had­ delibertly dived to put the tie beyond our reach,­ who's to say Celtic wouldn't have nicked a goal­ before half time (we had enough chances) and produced a­ different 2nd half altogether so don't say the dive­ didn't affect the result... it did.. you arrogant­ cheating doormats of Europe.

He's just come back from a horrible injury .­ It's only reasonable for him to be extra careful .­ He deserves our support and not condemnation for his­ courage .He is a blessing to this generation and the­ game . Let's try to be objective in all our­ dealings .

As long as referee and his two assistants didn`t see it­ there`s noway he should be banned. If EUFA couldn`t­ purnish the referee who could award even one penalty­ out of four in champions league semi-finals between­ chelsea and barcelona, then why Eduado should be­ querried at all. That`s the risk professional takes; is­ either you are awarded the penalty or the player is RED­ CARDED. Nothing should be more than that. So, I dont­ support the idea either to ban or even fined Eduado.­ That has always been part of the game. It`s a mistake­ on the referee otherwise he would have given a straight­ red to Eduado.

princecharming, the law punishes the cheater and the­ law breaker, not a referee who did not see the acting­ or who fell under the spell of the Hollywood crush of­ Eduardo. from a law perspective, the referee is a­ victim because he was fooled with the action of­ Eduardo. and regarding the outcome of the match, the­ player is punished but punishing his team has more­ perspectives to it. why would the team suffer his­ stupidity? As much as why would Celtic suffer his­ stupidity? no matter which way you go there will be a­ loser. In this case, it is Celtic..

Have to laugh at the comments from Man U fans about him­ being a cheat for diving, oh how short memories they­ have Ronaldo was very good at falling over a blade of­ grass if an opposition player was within a few inches­ of him.

are there any arsenal fans out there besides for myself­ still concerned about wenger not making any big­ signings yet ? we desperately need a GOOD striker and­ perhaps another good attacking midfielder ! Wenger is­ just training good youngsters into world class players­ and selling them on , arsenal are now a feeder club for­ the rest of the big clubs in europe ! a few seasons ago­ we had top players berkamp, vierra, henry etc.etc. who­ we got now to take over ! we aint won anything for the­ last few years and thats going to be the story until­ wengers gone ...

you ban the player but arsenal is still in the group­ stage so what is the point, i am an arsenal fan and­ admit he dived and should be punished, same goes for­ the referee and lines men because they were supposed to­ keep watch of the match, but it s also over for celtic.

no matter what­ team u like or not you are a f***in idiot - thats for­ sure

and i don't think ManU is proud of stupid­ comments from supporters like u

THE GUNNERS SHALL RAIN 4 EVER,AHEAD AHEAD AND HUMILLATE­ MAN U AT THE DEVILS GROUND

If that ref is 1 of the best in europe am the virgin­ mary!!!!!

He cheated end of lets face it any1 who­ thinks arsenal wiz the better team r blind celtic might­ huv hud a few fouls but arsenal hud just as many but­ the ref missed them!!!!!!!

HAIL HAIL

He dived & got a penalty out of it the goal shud b­ disallowed & he shud b banned a hope they throw the­ book at the cheatin git

his action just to get himself safe...he still fear­ about his last injury....so...theres no point to blame­ eduardo...

jannette.mead: This article ISN'T about those­ players though is it? Stop trying to gain points. The­ article IS about Eduardo being a­ cheat..................FACT!

ye it woz a dive but how many times haz the likes of­ ronaldo, ronaldinho, torres dived

Yes, it was a dive. But how did this become the crime­ of the century? If UEFA wants to ban him, that's­ fine, but let's not act like it was the first dive­ in professional football since the advent of colour­ television. Diving is a very ugly part of the game, and­ I completely agree that heavier sanctions should exist­ to combat it. However, who can deny that Eduardo is­ getting much harsher treatment for actions no worse­ than those of Owen, C. Ronaldo, Drogba, Gerrard (in­ umm... er... no particular order...)? Complain about­ Eduardo's penalty win if you wish, but be­ consistent - either look the other way for all those­ who dive, or come down upon ALL those cheaters with­ great vengeance and furious anger.
