    Aye I can't believe it.

    Its everywhere. Guy phoned up SSB, celtic fan, saying about how it's a lot of *. They finished with about 40% possession. How can a team who'd dominated a match finish with that? All I'm seeing is it was a "robbery". When you watch it back after the game and not in the heat of the moment we were pretty comfortable.

    I thknk just because we didn't play to our best and pepper their goal that classes as them dominating. That's where their ambitions lie now.

    Also they barely tested Hart as you say. Yet when we dominated them in recent games and couldn't finish the narrative was that it was still "close" because of the scoreline.

    Couldn't make it up. Or maybe you could.

    The comparisons to the 2019 league cup final reeks of absolute desperation

    The Huns defence coped ok on Saturday up to a point :56:but you don’t dominate games with 40% possession. The one thing was that their corners were very good

    Let them say they dominated us.
    They will use that as an excuse to say that since they are good enough they don’t need to buy anyone new.
    They’re * skint and we are completing treble next season

    Even if the Sima effort had stood there would still have been(including added-time) around 40mins left to play. The way the huns are talking you'd think that disallowed goal would have definitely won them the game. I know we didn't play that well on Saturday but had the goal stood who knows what could have happened from there on. Yes, sevco may have won but you can make an equally strong case for the goal jolting us into life or making sevco nervy. Incidents such as the Raskin push on Hart happen on a regular basis throughout top-level football and 99% of the time are given as fouls so they have no basis to claim they're being cheated. You could easily put together a show-reel of sevco getting multiple fouls for far less contact than the Raskin/Hart incident just from this season alone but that wouldn't fit with the media narrative would it. It hardly matters anyway. We won they lost and that's all that matters.

    Wish the win had been more controversial. Love it when they feel hard done by. * 'em. Would have been even better to have won it with a dodgy deflection in the last minute of added time.

    Unfortunately, we won it fair and square by being the better team. As Tav would say "Disappointing". Although it's nice to see the Orcs have upped their game when it comes to whinging, so a bit of a silver lining.

    Is it any wonder that there are no Scottish referees being allowed to officiate at the Euro 2024 competition

    Just the two penalty shouts for Celtic and a huns red or two in that game going unpunished. But the huns still think they were cheated haha.

    He can when he is on form for sure like in that last league game against St Mirren his delivery from corners was very good. But he is very inconsistent and that showed in that spell earlier in the season when he played a lot.

    I believe the official possession stat was 63-37% us but sure they dominated the game. Utterly delusional as per usual.
