[Official TC Thread] Celtic vs The Rangers, Scottish Cup Semi Final April 17th, 12pm SKY SPORTS 2

That is exactly how I feel. 100% sir well in

 

Good post. And it makes the argument for changing managers now very persuasive.
There is no available evidence to suggest Ronny will be able to fend off a resurgent Rangers and Aberdeen.
And don't throw back the argument we did it last year, last year is dead and gone, and so are Deneyer and Virgil.

 

We'll lose 5-0 and then watch Ryan Jack lift the SPFL title several weeks later.

 

I think it's important Commons plays

 

You make them slight favourites!? Please tell me your having a laugh?:smiley-laughing002:

 

Actually I am fucken torn on this one to be perfectly honest.
I know the way to go about beating Rangers and Aberdeen but if I tell him and he succeeds, then we will be stuck with this bampot next year, on the back of my guidance.
Fucken torn.

 

Keep it to yourself doc..

 

And yet if I say nowt. And Rangers win the Cup. And Aberdeen win the league.
I will feel guilty.

 

:smiley-laughing002: you're a * crackpot Doc

 

Can you return my pm on the morras euro numbers please doc? Ta

 

Aye so do I, kick the ball in the back of their net more times than they do ours...

Cant believe some of the negativity iv seen on here or the fact 7 people actually think where gonna lose to this mob? Yes we aren't playing nearly as well as we should be and yes Rangers are a lot better than last year but for * sake we are still a far far better outfit than these lot and it will show when we meet them.

We are better than the buns in every department and make no mistake about it the players will know before the game how important this match is and will be up for it, Ronny Delia and Collins aren't the greatest tag team in the world but they will have the team pumped up and ready to go out there and win because if we do lose this match they are more than likely losing their jobs and they both no that. It says a lot when there apparent biggest threats are coming from Lee Wallace and Tavernier I mean would anyone in here really want either of them in our team? Wallace is a decent player but isn't blessed with pace which is something we have on the wings with Forrest, Roberts and GMS, stick them high up on the full backs and it gives Rangers a real problem because if the two full backs push high and we break they are * and if they sit back they lose a big source of goals.

We hold all the cards in terms of team line ups, we have an abundance of players to choose from who are all better than what Rangers have and who ever gets put out on that pitch will be a better player technically and physically than what Rangers can offer in return.

 

You play Forrest we will get gubbed, Waste of jersey.
Rangers have Wallace, Tavierner,O'Halloran,Waghorn, Miller, Halliday, Clarke, they can all score.
Rangers are physically stronger than us. This will not be a walk in the park.
This will be war.
We will be led by Deila in this war. They will be led by Warburton in this war.

 

Could you not keep guiding him next season too?

 

Every player on the pitch for Rangers can score goals doesn't mean they will.

Waghorn wont make the match and even if he does he wont be fit and he scores 1 in 5 chances, chances he wont get against us. Did you no see his touch vs Killie in the cup as soon as he comes up against half decent opposition which is been very generous to Killie he * his knickers, he scores bucket loads against poor teams who give him easy chances. Pretty sure O'Halloran is cup tied. Clark has scored once this season, Miller is * I'm confident our two centre backs can deal with a 36 year old and Halliday has scored 6 in 27 and im pretty sure a few of them have been from the spot

Okay Rangers are stronger than us because Danny Wilson, Kirenen, Tav and Wallace are all intimidating foe, Wilson cant defend to save his * life and is about as intimidating as Bruce Forsyth, cant imagine Griffo is * himself at the thought of running up against that lot and don't get me started if CKR plays, you telling me hes gonna get bullied by them 4? In midfield we have Scott Brown and Bitton, need I say any more about physicality? Johanson is a nut case when he starts to strop. And at the back Sviachenko, Simunovic aint going to get bullied by Waghorn, Miller, Clark or who ever the * they put up front.

Delia has experienced and old firm, Warbuton hasn't...

 

With this squad of players vs their heap of rejected * squad, we should get a massive win.

My lack of faith in Deila makes me think we'll "only" win 3-1. I'm not so blinded by that lack of faith in Deila, however, that I start boasting about horrendous hun players like Martyn Waghorn. That would just be the sign of a pathetic, delusional, twisted little man.

 

Your joking right? :smiley-laughing002::smiley-laughing002::smiley-laughing002::smiley-laughing002:

 

Sounds plausible enough I suppose.
Still....
We have Lustig at right back, do you think Warburton won't find a way around him ? And what if Boyata and Ambrose play, do you think they will hold Tavierner, Clark, Wallace, Waghorn, Miller and Halliday ?
Deila has only been involved in one low level Old Firm game with a poor Rangers.
Gordon is as dodgy as * in between the sticks. Johansen ? What will he do ? Huh.

 

No, I don't think he will find a way around Lustig. He isn't nearly as good as he once was but he is still better than what Rangers have to offer and if Ronny feels hes going to be too much of a risk we can counter Wallace and who ever plays on the left with Janko who him self is a pacey attacking full back.

I have a strong feeling neither Ambrose or Boyata will play and it will be a pairing between Mulgrew, Simunovic and Sviachenko however if one of the chuckle brothers play we have to hope that they leave past mistakes behind them and concentrate on the job at hand, they both posses physical strength far beyond what Rangers front line has to offer and hopfully they realise that they cant slack in a game this important however I doubt either of them will have to deal with Tav, Wallace or Halliday considering they are not forwards and I think you overestimate Miller and Clark hugely neither of pose a massive threat.

It's still one more Celtic Rangers match than Warburton has been involved in.

Gordon isn't dodgy as * between the sticks, he hasn't been as constant as he was last season and has made mistakes but to just sit here and think oh he's going to make a mistake in that game is laughable he is twice the keeper Fotheringham is and has played in big games before.

And unfortunately I cant read the future so am unable to tell you what Johansen is going to do but even an out of form Johansen is better than any other Rangers player

 

Your answers are very good and convincing.
I hope you understand I am just playing Devils Advocate
And yes Janko, Janko would be much better.

 

I will eliminate The Rangers myself
