Official Rangers v Celtic Thread

We are not * m8, we just didnt take our chances and that specialy gos to Scott Brown, ive been a fan of Strachen since he has came to Celtic but now i want him out at the end of the season.

2 biggest mistakes he made was Nakamura on from the start and to late makin changes to the team.

 

Our subs always only get 10 mins (or 2 if you're Deeks) to turn a game. *? We have no plan B and It's * obvious

 

Having been optimistic all week , giving out confidence boosters when others on here were clearly worried about this game I now feel totally deflated..

That second half was an embaressment..

We got what we desereved for failing to turn up in the second half..

43 minutes of good football completely ruined by what followed..

It was obvious JVOH should have been taken off well before the 80th minute..
Naka should have been off after 50 minutes when he was jogging back alongside a Rangers break from midfield..

If Strachan felt we went for it in the second half then that's his goose cooked.. He would simply be saying the players at the club aren't good enough..

Serious situation right now.. The powerbrokers at the club need to show the way forward.. If a healthy bank balance is in contrast with a poor team on the pitch then someone has to change that.. Gutted for all the supporters..

 

Oh well you lot, these things happen. It's a * shame but at least we did well in the first half, that goal before half time did us i think but there's no point in getting down, huns aint won for 3 odd years now, we're still the Scottish champs whatever they say.

 

Everything was going well until we fell asleep, such a * goal to lose. Second half I agree the changes should have been made after the first 10/15 mins. Naka again went missing when we needed him, Robson should've started.

 

Even at the end, at don't understand strak,

put skip unfront with van and samaras behind. Why is he afraid of 3 strikers on the field - all of whom are great players?

Naka was totally poor today.

 

SIMPLE STATISTICS.
4 GAMES AGAINST SCUM.
4 DEFEATS
NO GOALS.

APART FROM A SHOT FROM HINKEL WE NEVER LOOKED LIKE SCORING.
STRACHAN OUT THOUGHT BY THE CARDIGAN YET AGAIN.
BRINGING SCOTTY ON WITH 15 MINUTES TO GO
LEAVE NOW STRACHAN PLEASE.

YOU HAVE NO CLUE WHATSOEVER

 

no way of making sense of this. It was down to luck. We played much better than normal for an Ibrox OF game. This game should never have mattered this much. Damage was done in December.

 

As usual anti-football wins trough in Scotland.

Its no wonder there is no money and interest in our game from outside Scotland, who in their right mind would put money into a league where success is based on playing the most boring, mind-numbing crap possible.

As for Kevin Thompson, I hope his apparent injury is that bad he dies!! The only reason they brought the stretcher on with the Mickey-mouse crew was to stop Thompson being sent off, who should have already been sent off in the first half.

All that a site we have a huge problem with goal scoring, we are incapable off it, the only time we came close was with Hinkel, says allot about a team when the closest the come to scoring is from a defender who has scored only one goal previously.

Barry Ferguson man of the match? Who the * came up with that one? I bet even Barry disagrees with that, he was no-where to be seen.

 

When is it gonny sink in Tamster........Strachans no goin anywhere.....he's here for the rest of the season at least.

How about getting behind the team till then, after that you can shout for his head

 

Barry the Unbookable did sweet fa all game and gets motm? I despair

 

He wasn't that bad to be honest , certainly wasn't a major player with regards to the defeat.. That blams lays at the door of the players and manager..

Brown got penalised for playing fair in the first half.. Guys in the media (Like ex celt Andy Walker) keep saying you hit the deck when you feel contact in the penalty box..

About the Thomson incident in the penalty box.. The only reason people are going on about the "he should have been sent off" is because Scott Booth highlighted it and kept giving Thomson pelters even when he was on the stretcher.. I didn't think it was nearly as blatant as it's been made out to be..

Simple reason we got beat - we weren't good enough for 90 minutes..

And it a sad day when you admit that and have to say that the other team on show were equally as bad..

 

The whole team were * in the 2nd half. I knew it would be long ball time. No excuses. We should have had a penalty and Thomson should have been off for diving. On the other hand Naylor was lucky to stay on. We still have a real chance of the title though as I don't see Rangers winning all their games against the rest.

 

Wasn't he subbed right after the 5 minutes of rolling around, so we didn't really have a man more, should have though as he should've been sent off for the dive.

 

I disagree about Thomson, I think that's as blatant cheating as you can get and if the ref doesn't give him the free kick then he's judged he must've dived, diving is a yellow card, I think it's a joke he wasn't sent off

 

But some of his decisions were damaging. And he gave 3 mins of stoppage time instead of minimally 6. Though, the team didn't play well in the 2. half. The goal destroyed their morale.

 

You are correct mate, he won't.

I'm just saying that he should.

Am i entitled to say that on a fans forum, or do we need to have blind faith for a tactically inept clown who cannot muster a team to score against one of thw worst Huns teams in years. :bbpd:

 

Can't believe Thompson wasn't sent off, the standard of Scottish refereeing is a total joke.
Broadfoot should have been booked also for his pathetic dive, the penalty decision in the first half wasn't clear cut enough, but I'll bet if Brown had gone down, he would have been booked and we wouldn't have got a penalty!
Good first half, Samaras was the only one to get pass marks for the whole game, Caldwell punted the ball long to nobody so many times today, shows again that our midfield was non existent, can't believe McGeady didn't get at Broadfoot more, had him in his back pocket any time he went one on one with him.
Maybe a 5 man midfield would have been the answer today, but Strachan is not one for changes.
It's not over, but we now have to rely on other teams to take points from Rangers if we are to have a chance.

 

When u see the Thompson dive he actually moved his leg towards Samaras' leg to make out big Sammy had tackled him. It was totally pre-determined on Thompsons part......blatant cheating, I hope he gets hammered for it.

 

He cheated, simple as. No way was the "injury" that bad that he had to go off on a stretcher. There was a second when he was lyin down when he kinda sat up and looked at the ref, injured my *. Cheating *, should've seen red.
