Post Match Analysis ,rangers v Celtic.

not one pound of it will be put on the pitch

 

on a positive note our defense ( particularly Hinkel) and goalie were outstanding today

 

i agree, he was ordinary, now be honest fellow fans, keane was outmanouvered by huns, he did nothing!

 

Terrible refereeing again! Lafferty shoulda been sent off and so should Bougy and probably Weir for kicking fortune that u could see in the bottom corner when the brown-lafferty incident. McGeady was shocking not infulential at all

 

I will say that we played terrible either way. The refs were shocking as usual and we need to start exploring an atlantic league or something where we will be on a level playing field with other teams. Both Bougherra and Lafferty should have been sent off.

Scott Brown was by far the worst player on the pitch. Anybody who tries to say otherwise has no clue. He can't pass the ball, he can't keep himself under control, and we have noticeably been worst about keeping possession ever since he has been playing. We need to bring back the Crosas/N'Guemo partnership and ditch Brown. He has not done anything to deserve a starting spot or the captaincy.

I'll give passing marks to both Boruc and Hinkel who were great. N'Guemo played decent, was a bit reckless on a few occasions though. Thought O'Dea played surprisingly well when he came on and Thompson wasn't too bad either (although I'd like to see him head the ball away instead of straight up in the air every time).

I have reserved criticism for Mowbray for the longest time, but he certainly doesn't have a clue in my opinion. Continually playing Brown and making him captain was stupid. Rasmussen plays well and scores while Fortune and Samaras are an utter joke. No way should Samaras be ahead of Ras.

Lastly, it amazes me people will say Keane was not fit enough to play or was bad today. He ran his * off and did everything he could. It's not his fault he was literally assaulted every time he got the ball. He rarely was able to get the ball in the box because our midfield was absolutely * today. When he did he had a stinger on goal, unfortunately right at the keeper. Keane does all the small things that a striker should not have to do and I think he realizes that he has to put in twice the work since our midfield plays so poorly half the time. It's time to bring Crosas back in and start Rasmussen with Keane.

 

did you see the space he gave them at the end outside the box? and he's just walking around? no spine in him at all m8

 

ref lost it for as yet again thats 8 points rankers have got from as becasue of refs decisions

 

oh and it was a corner that we conceded from . What a * surprise

 

To be fair, he had Arnold Vosloo kicking his heels every time he touched the ball.

 

everytime keane got ball bougerra snappd him and got away with it time after time after time but yeah ur right he should came off for rumussen

 

Can't fully explain things just now. Can't be arsed slating the team, but we were never going to win that game today. Never. The DOBS were strong and solid, they ran all over the top of us. Embarrassing.

Did I see someone say Keane was good?, jesus *. He was dire. He done nothing.

 

okay, okay... so everyone is raging bout BTM brining on sammy... aiden was * today so he was hooked... you couldnt have brung on ras for him could ya... anyway the ball was never in the hun box in the secord half

 

Why are we going with 1 up front, when brown gets sent off. We needed all 3 points to have a chance of the the league??

 

Simple answer to that mate is Celtic never grasped the midfield so nothing was going for Keane Fortune etc ,they came looking for the ball ,Celtic's midfield lost that game today.

 

not makin excuses but dont think keane or mcgeady were fully fit.
which makes the manager to blame

 

Keane had no service all day, it must be frustrating playing with the donkeys we have. You see his face when Samaras pinged the ball towards him ? I'm not even joking im a better footballer than him. Keane worked his * off for us.

 

Basically, the ref etc only is a big issue cause we are trailing so very badly. It never is an issue when we are well out in front. Yes I think we have had some bad decisions recently but it shouldnt matter. If there really was a massive conspiracy then we would hardly have won the league two-thirds of the time in the last 10 years. I think although there were issues today that the league has not been lost by ref decisions. It has been lost by our managers gross mismanagement of a transitional season. WGS and MON also changed the starting 11 by about 7 players but they managed the transformation far better. For me Mogga is another Barnes or Burns who have big footballing ideals but concentrate too much on the pretty/flair side of football and leave the defensive aspect weak. We need a tough, hard headed manager and organiser who knows how to win, which in the SPL is often ugle. We need a guy with as much tactical savy as Wattie. How many times have we seen waves of Celtic attacks bounce of a Rangers deep defending side and they play a simple punt through the centre and score on the break. Anyone old enough to remember the 90s clearly should remember this. Its deja vu. What happened-after Burns we got in an organised manager who played a simple possession game and a few great players with sharp football brains. After Barnes we brought in MON who knew you had to match the physical side of things. When MON started to lose we brought in WGS who knew that a safety first possession game didnt look great but it starved the other side of the ball. All of them knew you more often than not have to play in a way that is not great on the eye to win the SPL over the long haul.

 

i totally agree with u 100% we should never got rid robson so what he was getting old but in my opinion he was our best cm not brown miss robbo

 

In the second half, the pace went up, and the game turned to punting. We had no qualified passer of the ball in the initial XI. Ki entered when we were already a man down. Also, Rasmussen, the only poacher in the team, didn't play. I said to myself before the game:˝If the pace of the game goes up, we're screwed.˝ And it's exactly what happened. We didn't take our chances, and couldn't force at least the same tempo from the first half, let alone impose an even slower one.
