Yes ya dancer - read this quote though from their lawyer:

AC Milan lawyer Leandro Cantamessa blasted the decision.

Cantamessa is perplexed as to why Celtic have escaped with a fine.

In remarks on the www.acmilan.com website, Cantamessa said: "The impact of the sentence is disproportionate and illogical.

"Anyone can see that the pitch invasion had an impact and having to put up with it (the invasion) another.

WT is he smoking - had an impact - what in the last few minutes of the game their keeper made a complete tw@t of himself. So if he's perplexed with a fine what is he suggesting?

Even the club admit the keeper was silly - only a lawyer, eh.

How can one idiot running onto the pitch be called an invasion

Then again, if he was an Italian fan running backwards it could be called a retreat...

They got off lighlty becasue of the precedents already set. OK, the goalie was a twerp, but it was a Celtic fan that ran on and caused it and with the other precedents set, they could have forfeited the match...

I forget who the other teams were but I think it was Denmark v Sweden and AC v Inter Milan...or close to.....

"We got off lightly"?

Wtf? I didn't see you on the pitch!

Celtic fan runs on pitch, taps keeper on shoulder and dances away.

Denmark Sweden - danish fans runs on pitch and assults referee after he'd given a penalty. Denmark forfeit game 3-0.

Ac Milan vs Inter - Dida (Again) goes down in a heap after getting hit on shoulder with a flare (BTW Which means he knows fine well what his team could possibly gain by going down - hence why it's an even more heinous act). Next four games they play behind closed doors, awarded to AC.

I wouldn't exactly say the first incident compares with the last two - and if we go down the road of automatic forfeit, regardless of the actual case how soon before fans cotton on to this and decide to help their team out - donning wrong colours etc?

The fine is low, but appropriate I beleive - and I htink Dida should have been banned for longer - he's a fecking disgrace to the game, and I'd be happy if he never played again.

The incident may not have been as severe but the principle was the same. All in all, you got off very lightly...
