McCourt's last two performances since the death threats have been poor. The players and manager have put a brave face on it, but it must affect them.

Novo and Ricksen just got on with it when their parcels arrived.

Why are my posts being removed? Two posts removed showing worthy news articles and no different from the post about Goodwillie. Can the Rangers supporters here not accept the truth when it's in front of their eyes?

Threatening Celtic players with bullets and an online petition to shoot the manager must have implications in their standard of play. Don't try and claim it's not relevent because that can easily effect results.

Jambo, isn't your owner one of the biggest clowns in football club ownership ever?

More than likely because the posts were almost trolling the thread with very little actual football content and are the kind of posts that got the SPL thread closed in the past.

Surely he's had threats like this before though and especially as an Old Firm player the teams will be used to dealing with incidents like this? It will no doubt affect the players involved but the clubs should be able to provide any help the players need. Considering how many players have been targetted by various idiots on both sides they should be able to deal with it.

Romanov?

Why is he a clown?

Sacking managers? Demanding success etc?

That makes him a clown? or have i missed something?

I don't think Jambo supports Hearts, I'm sure I've asked him about his name before and it's just a coincidence.

Romanov is a bit of an idiot, being perfectly fair about it. I'm still convinced if he hadn't interfered with George Burley that Hearts would have been there or thereabouts at the end of the season. Although credit where it is due he has provided a lot of entertainment whether intentional or not.
 
Full time at Tynecastle sees Hearts win 1-0 against Rangers. By all accounts Rangers should have won handsomely but I'm not complaining about how the win comes.

Scores in progress:
Celtic 1-0 Aberdeen
Inverness Caley 1-0 Hamilton
Kilmarnock 0-0 Dundee Utd
Motherwell 2-0 Hibernian
St Johnstone 0-0 St Mirren

Hibs still avoiding the relegation spot by virtue of Hamilton being utter tosh although their goal difference is nowhere near as bad as Hamilton at the moment.
 
Poor result for Rangers today with the Hearts goalkeeper playing a blinder and saving them from a couple of goals by the sound of things. No doubt lots saying it was because they sold Miller. Rangers need to win their two games in hand to take the lead back now.

ICT vs Hamilton was 1-1 same for Dundee Utd vs Killie so Hamilton only three points behind Hibs now. Won't be long before they blame Calderwood instead of the board not spending on new players.

I watched the Rangers game and most of the shots were quite comfortable for Kello. Rangers were very good in first 25 minutes, good movement middle to front, lots of opportunities to go through the Hearts defence. After that the game kinda settled down and was pretty even. Dunno if Rangers missed Miller, Lafferty did not bad. Jelavic had a great shot which hit the bar, but wasn't as involved as Lafferty was previously.

Naismith had a quiet game. Davis was good as usual. Ness was excellent first 20 minutes, but pretty anonymous after that. McCulloch annoys me with his continual diving and over reactions. He should just concentrate on playing as a CM instead of trying to manufacture incidents. Davie Weir is unbookable :) I do quite like him though, seems a decent fella.

Hmm, i could actually have written that, word for word!.
 
Celtic 4-0 Hearts

Well, there went Hearts title hopes. Great game from Celtic, totally dominant and never in trouble at any point. Hooper and Stokes are looking like a good pairing and Kayal was outstanding in midfield.

I also watched the Hibs v Rangers game. It was a very poor game in comparison. Why are Rangers players immune to red cards? Jelavic should have walked for that attempted headbutt but wait, that would have left Rangers with Lafferty as their main striker. The estsblishment can't let that happen can they? ;)
 
Easy win for The Rangers. Played within themselves for the second half vers a ver poor Hibs team. I agree Jelavic was lucky not to red but in that case so was the Hibs lad as on replay from different angles both made a forward motion with their heads. You seemed to forget to mention that Eddie why did you miss that?? Celtic were more clinical than Rangers were versus Hearts at the weekend and we were punished. 11 shots on target at the weekend to Hearts 1. They scored with their one their keeper stopped us.
 
From what I saw, Jelavic raised his elbow with an attempt to strike the Hibs lad who reacted with a trip on Jelavic. Handbags at ten paces at this point but Jelavic saw fit to go head to head with the Hibs lad and made a butting movement. It is this motion that deserves the red card.
 
Like I said both made a forward motion with their heads Reverse Camera angle shows Hibs lad move his head forward also so if one went both would have to go. Still waiting for BBC highlight of the Celtic game heard there was a set to in the middle of the park with several players some with hands raised. No doubt it wont make the highlights.
 
Well, any attempt to headbutt a player is supposed to be an ordering off so by your own admission, both should have walked. It is these inconsistent refereeing decisions that is causing so many problems but the main crux of it is that there is an overwhelming percentage that goes in Rangers favour. Losing one of your strikers would not be good for an already stretched squad.

As for the incident at Celtic Park, Skacel was persistently fouling every Celtic player that got within ten feet of him and the referee was very slow to react. Even after he was yellow carded, it still persisted and it amazes me how he managed to last until he was substituted. The 'set to' was yet another dodgy foul by Skacel on Stokes which resulted in handbags being brandished. The Celtic players where visually aggreived at the leniency being shown towards Skacel.

On another note, Hearts fans hang your head in shame. A Celtic fan suffered a heart attack and was being treated at the touchline by Paramedics when a chorus of 'die,die,die' was chanted by the Hearts fans. :( There are reports today that he survived so I'm sorry Hearts fans, your wishes, like your teams apparant title challenge, have failed to materialise.

Good win for Celtic. The officials were a disgrace. They should never officiate again after that performance.

The set to was after Ian Black's lunge on Paddy. He managed to miss the ball, then put two feet into Paddy's chest while he was lying on the ground. Black's behaviour on the pitch is a disgrace. Wasn't so long ago he put Jelavic out with 3 months with another shocking challenge. SFA need to take some action against him.

As is Skacel. I was surprised that his acts of aggression verging on lunacy where not included in the BBC highlights. I can't believe I missed Black's foul on the Derry Pele, and here was me wondering what all the shouting was about after I had nipped off to the tiolet. The things you miss in only a few minutes absence.

The result is bad enough to make me feel a bit depressed anyway but that's just disgusting. I am seriously disappointed in the (doubtless small) segment of Jambos who chorused that.

Hearts were lucky against Rangers at the weekend and I was happy to take it so equally I can't be unduly upset that we rightly got pumped here, no excuses - Celtic were simply the better team.
