Celtic V Rangers ~ Post Match Chat.

Anyone who thinks the league is over at the 2nd Old firm game because of a 7 point advantage are nuts.

We showed our class yesterday in managing to completely dominate Rangers, the only thing lacking was our finishing and the concentration at the corner 2 minutes after we scored.

As someone above me said, we completely destroyed them yesterday and we will be bringing in new players for the title push. They can't afford anyone so they're stuck with their termite infested log of a team.

 

if miller had been playing and bougherra and we dominated yes i would belive not to sure

 

Once again the ref has let us down in the old firm, not only the goal that should have been but there were a few challanges that could have been worthy of a red card the main culprite being that boney * Lafferty. Has he even gave his excuse for the dissallowed goal? I have heard nothing or can see any reason why it should have been.

 

We seem to get more than our fair share of bad decisions and then some in this fixture and we're accused of being paranoid......yes we had the chances to gub them..yes we made mistakes at the corner...bad/stationery marking..no one on the post etc..but the major decisions always seem to go against Celtic...call me paranoid but somehow i expected something like this to happen!
It's gonnae take more than beating the Huns if we are to claw this back and become champions again...it may take a few honest officials along the way if there is such a thing oot there!

 

1)teams defend from the front backwards...we did outplay them,but they had no Miller,Beasley and Novo went off early....they lost all their pace and potency that had put them on their run.Boyd was impotent without them.But they will be back.So although we totally deserved to win,the fact is we didnt.The performance against a handicapped Rangers,papered over the cracks.If McGeady goes...we will be the in real trouble!
2)sick of reading about this and that,that didnt go in our favour..last year we got our fair share of decisions in the first half of the season....it was them who were bemoaning decisions and injustices......and yet we still threw it away!
3)anyone that thinks we should now coast to the title,is living in dreamland.Only 2 draws behind them!!!!Aye maybe...but they have just demolished the teams in 3rd and 4th,played us and Aberdeen away,and will now have a good run of games against the weaker teams!

 

having said all that...there should be no reason why we cannot go on a similar kind of run.....then they will feel the pressure and start dropping crappy points like we have been doing.

 

Novo and Beasley are pish. Wish folk would stop going on about the players they had missing. You honestly think the game would've been so different if Miller and Bougherra were there. Didn't we dominate, not as much but still did, at Ibrox earlier in the season when they had no injuries?. Ref * us that day, and we missed a couple of chances.

Don't think anyone really thinks that tbh. But we're still in it. Who gives a * what they done against the others, they were freak results. No doubt about it.

 

Why had we no player on the post for that corner they scored from?

 

Basic error, should never have happened and I hope Mowbray has given Fox, I presuume it was his responsibility, a good slapping. nevertheless difficult to be too critical as we dominated the game. Can't believe the goal difference between the teams, we must look for a 20+ striker asap. Splash the cash!!!

 

It has to happen! If we want to win the league we need to be beating them. And on yesterdays showing (and the firs old firm there) there is no reason to suggest that we cant beat them!!!

 

if it wasn't for bad luck, we would have no luck at all, i remember Artur pulling of a save better than McGregor's, against the Huns, only to see it sneak in the top corner what luck we have eh

 

Novo and Beasley ARE pish.....but they still missed them because of their pace!Ordinariily,they are not great players,but their pace...and Millers,is what causes teams problems....and how Boyd gets his goals,,,he picks up scraps.That is why they missed them,as our defence is not so hot with wee guys running around....which in turn is why we could relax and play nice and look good.....Boyd became impotent and they didnt have a plan B.
I still think they will carry on where they left off against other teams.....and although it pains me to say it...i think they will still be in front come the next Old Firm game...so we better re-learn how to win at Ibrox!I quite like Samaras and Mcdonald,but they have hit a bad spell,and it has to be they that get us out of trouble....cos we aint scoring enough from elsewhere....and our defence can always be relied upon to let in a goal a game(usually).

 

great point , we proved with the football against the huns that with a bit of work , and a bit of tweaking , ie signings , we can be a really great side. look at the side on sunday .....the add

brown , maloney ki, a new striker , a new centre half. given time we will dominate this decade , like we have the last.

we were unlucky on sunday , thought sammy mcgeady and nguemo were all superb
