the reason for failure is a ****poor team mate, both clubs are beyond bad and the standard of the spl just slips lower and lower with each season.

Celtic draw at Hibs after a brilliant defensive game from the Hibees. I'm sure the crowing willstart again soon with the Ragers fans discounting Dundee Utd. The season ain't over yet and I'm certain there will be a draw at Tannadice and a home win at Celtic Park. Keep the faith. Hail Hail
Says he who pretty much claimed it was over after we drew with Hibs in midweek....I told ya your trip to Easter Road would be tricky didnt I?!
I did expect a big win against Aberdeen but was happy with the 3 points, both red cards were a disgrace, didnt get the best look at it where I sit at Ibrox but could still tell it was a big play act from Lafferty, the arms out and all that, its embarassing. However for the linesman to say "Bougherra delibrately kicked Langfield in the face" is just ludicrous, there was no malice in the challenge and he attempted to win the ball when it was available as a 50-50, ah well this stuff happens. It should be appealed but because the Ref has said he doesnt think the call is wrong I think that puts that to bed.
Anyways superb result today for us and if we cant muster the performance to win the title at Tannadice then we dont deserve to win the title, thats that. However as sure as I am Celtic will beat Hearts I'm sure Lazlo will have his lads well up for the game next Sunday
Lawell must be kicking himself after his reported comments about the split fixtures....
Will be a nerve wracking final day of the season and hopefully I'll be celebrating a double at Hampden on the 30th of May!

You going to tannadice next week?
Unfortunately not mate, only got a Home Season Ticket, being a poor student I cant afford to do the away trips. Will be watching the game with my mates and hopefully down to Ibrox after the game against Utd to celebrate them bringing home the title.
Got my Scottish Cup Ticket paid for, just need to collect that now. Dont think I could stand going there with the prospect of that trophy being the only one this season lol!
What about yourself? you heading up?

It is indeed! noticed you on there myself!
Tell you one thing guys, as much as people have a go at the "split" system can you imagine a more exciting climax to the league? 1st and last place in the league decided on the last day.
It`s all jolly exciting even if the standard of football is absolutely dire.

Thats why I genuinely enjoy the split and in turn our league season.
The best 6 teams have been facing off as well as the worst 6 and there is still a lot to play for.
Championship
European Place (4th)
Relagation
Excellent stuff really!
I know Lafferty and I can tell you, when he gets home his old man will hammer the utter tripe out of him. If he can't pull himself away from the pub, someone else will do it.
He will get some serious stick from us when he gets home the idiot.

I think I speak for us all when I say, "More power to your elbow, Mr Lafferty"

Just remember what happened the last time we needed a team from Dundee to take a point or two from the leaders in order for Celtic to win the league. Keep the faith bhoys. Hail Hail.

I've gone in to the philosophical its-only-a-game mode now, I don't care if we don't win it because if losing this title means that Strachan's departure is swift then I guess the sour medicine might have a sweet after-taste.
Well a nice theory in place from Andy Walker tonight in the Phone-In on Clyde was put along the lines of, if the manager was leaving then why are so many bids on particular players being made right now? It's a fair question, I cant imagine the board are just bidding for x y and z without the manager indicating he would like to sign those players?
Anyways, Friday will be interesting with all incidents being looked at by the SFA.
Bougherras' Red Card.....should be dismissed.
Mulgrews' Red Card and Subsequent Play Acting from Lafferty.....should be dismissed and also action taken against Lafferty(will happen in august I believe)
McDonalds' challenge on Wilkie....honestly not too sure on this one, the panel will have to decide whether he deliberately raised his boot or not but if the referee seen it....would he have sent him off, that will be in his report?
Loovens' kick out on Edu.....looked deliberate change of direction of foot while landing in which to cause damage to the player. Should be a red card I think.
*awaits the flaming but I feel its a fair view*
