Hamilton take some points last night (which is nice as cheating against Celtic is not deemed as cheating at all).

Brace yourself SFA.

Brace yourself indeed. Another shocking display by the officials as Celtic are cheated out of all three points again. Not our best display given that McCourt was a little low key (bullets in the post affecting game maybe) and Hamilton where trying their best to kick Celtic off the park.

Hamilton goal was clearly offside and it amazes me that fourth officials can see minor infringements of the offside law but seem to miss the glaring examples.

Forrest sent off for a tackle that didn't merit anything more than a yellow. It was a little late maybe but he slid through on the space where the ball had been and never touched the player. Yet another blatant penalty denied and the one we did get (which was still a penalty) was far a far softer decision in comparison

If the officials don't want Celtic complaining about them, they need to tighten up. Willie Collum apparantly has eyes in the back of his head (Broadfoot penalty at Celtic Park) but fails to see anything in front of his face.

Going by the dubious decisions there have been this season, you may be right. Last night the officials where nothing short of shambolic. If the shoe where on the other foot, Watty would be calling for the head of the linesman and the thread would be awash with complaints from Rangers fans. Gloat while you can boys, Celtic will always overcome adversity.
 
McAllister's tackle was described well by Neil McCann as 'going through the player'. These tackles are not allowed as they are dangerous. Forrest slid in on empty space where the ball had been but a milli-second before, he did not foul the player who went down clutching his ankle as if it had been shot. Should he have been booked for simulation?
 
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?
 
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? ;)
 
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.
 
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.

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.
 
Yep, I thought 'die, die, die' was bad enough before they broke out into that one. It seemed to a be only a small minority of the Hearts fans that wheren't singing it. Totally shameful.
 
Scottish Cup Quarter Final.

Aberdeen 1-0 Dunfermline
Rangers 2-2 Celtic

Another solid display from Celtic. A few dodgy decisions and Rangers failing to exert any pressure on a ten man team who turned it around and took control of the game. The decision to send off Forster looked very harsh as the only contact involved Naismith going down 'early' and kicking the Celtic keeper in the face as he did so. Samaras was inexpicably hauled up for offside when clearly onside and in a position to run through on goal unhindered. Brown booked for smiling after he scored, priceless. Roll on the replay.

Anyhoo, nice to see Naismith get what he deserved. Just what do they teach at Murray Park given the amount of diving that seems to go on whenever Rangers play.

Naismith should have been off long before the penalty claim. A dive in the box early on that went unpunished and a dreadful lunge at Wilson that was also ignored. Ten man Celts played almost 60 minutes against a full strength Rangers team and still had 68% of the possession.

Brown was immense, regardless of McMavs views, and his goal was simply the icing on the cake of a great performance by him. He received plenty of stick from Diouf when Rangers went 2-1 up so well done Brown for not reacting to it. Did he actually say anything to Diouf? It looked as though he simply stood with his arms raised and a huge grin on his face. :D
 
Dream on lads. You are both saying Celtic where there for the taking when in fact, Celtic, having had to take off Commons (who was having a great game) still bossed Rangers about and had the vast majority of possession. Yes, you had a few chances but then so did Celtic with one man less.
 
Don't be drawn in Jock, they are clearly in denial. We played them off the park and they still can't see that we are the better team. Take of those blue tinted glasses people. As for the claim of Celtic players diving, again they are in denial and cannot see what is happening on the park in front of them. Naismith, Broadfoot, and Lafferty are all current players with an alarming habit of dropping to the ground when in the opposing 18 yard box.

Deny, deflect and deny again. It's the Rangers way. Watch out for the taxman lads and oh, have you had that plumbing fixed yet. :D

pub team competition

Would that be the same competition where you reached the final (only emulating Celtic) and trashed Manchester? You had us believing that your team where superstars about to make off with a premier European trophy.

The taxman cometh. It is factual that although Rangers deny that there is any tax owed to the taxman, they recently offered £10 million to try to bury the problem and placate the taxman. The 'we owe nothing but here's 10 million anyway' is damning. Rumours put the bill at £35 million and this is the stumbling block that is preventing any takeover of Rangers. Various share issues have failed to raise enough income for Rangers as fans refused to participate. Loyal? Aye right. :p
 
Naismith claims he did not dive and will not listen to anyone claiming so if it is not from his own camp. Did he miss McCoists interview after the game, admitting he deserved to be sent off for diving? Silly boy, caught out.
