After getting beat by Utd in a game that saw them have a stonewall penalty refused by the Referee, the Celtic support could be forgiven a small amount of shadenfruede. The fact that Wenger got sent to the stand for taking his frustrations out on a bottle of water had most of us laughing our heads off.
However fate, or rather yesterday's referee decided to remove any fun that we have experienced from this situation, after Aiden McGeady received his second yellow card of the match for simulation.
Tony Mowbray refused to accept that McGeady's motives were to attempt to con the ref into awarding a free kick, a notion that is easy to accept given that McGeady had already passed two other challenges when the incident occurred.
"Is it a dive? Never in a million years," Mowbray said. "I've been asked on TV to have a look at it. But I don't need to, it happened in front of me.
"You put the incident down to the context of the boy travelling 40-50 yards before the incident. You can make whatever judgement you want on it.
"But he's travelled with the ball, he's skipped past the first tackle, he's carried on, he's skipped past the second tackle and sees another tackle coming. A dive is when you are trying to influence the referee and you throw your arms up. But not this."
He added: "If you take the incident into context with the week we've had - the Eduardo situation - then if that hadn't been blown up so big then 99 times out of 100, maybe 100 times out of 100, never in a million years is there a yellow card shown.
"It's just unfortunate for Aiden in the context of the week we've had and the highlighting of this so-called simulation. The referee has got to have a little bit of game knowledge. It was a poor decision. I think there was a pressure on the referee after the week we've had. He's been influenced by this diving situation."
Mowbray then bemoaned the situation in general, stating that the shadow of the Eduardo incident has caused the issue of simulation to be in the public eye, and that Celtic have now suffered twice as a result of this.
"It's ridiculous," he continued while talking about the decision against McGeady. "If you're giving out yellow and red cards everywhere on the pitch, on the halfway line, you're never going to have any footballers left. I haven't discussed it with Aiden, but you can see we're all in disbelief about it.
"We've now suffered twice in the same week from the Eduardo situation, like a double whammy. We suffered from a penalty on Wednesday night and we have suffered today.
"My professional opinion on this is: no way. You have to look at the context of the game; you have to look at the footballer we're dealing with. How can that be?
"The linesman signalled a free-kick for us. Players like Aiden have to ride tackles or he'll never play football. I would suggest he's gone to ground probably because he's knackered after travelling 50 yards and skipping tackles.
"I'd suggest the linesman was a lot closer than the referee. Straight away he put up his flag for a free-kick."
Yours in Celtic
