I don't watch anything like as much football as I used, and don't look at the English lower divisions, but. like I said, if I would be bothered I bet I could spotlight some horrendous play in any English league, even The Premiership. I wouldn't be so pathetic though as to pick out one incident, and claim it was symptomatic of the entire league.

You're weirdly defensive about the league your team plays in.

Weirdly defensive? Because I pointed out that I could pick out poor play in the English leagues, like you have today with the Hamilton - Rangers game?

If you see that as weirdly defensive, I can only assume you don't get out much, and are a sensitive soul.

If I said something like you were an ****####, who posted utter #####, then I could see how you would say I was being over defensive, but I think you're reaction to my reply is pretty defensive. If I've upset you, I apologise.

I mean, your initial reply was defensive.

You could have just said “yeh, what was he thinking diving in”. But you always add an English leagues element to it like I wasn’t aware people also can’t tackle there.
 

This part interested me especially;

The inference was not lost on anybody. In documenting some supposed hardships that Celtic had been subjected to, Boyd seemed to be feeding a conspiracy about biased referees. The "neutral referees" had come in during the refs' strike of November 2010, he added, and "did ever so well".

On this and on a number of other things, Boyd is confused. On the weekend of the referees' strike in Scotland, Celtic hosted Inverness Caledonian Thistle. Alain Hamer from Luxembourg was in charge and disallowed a perfectly legitimate Celtic goal. The match ended 2-2 and Celtic went on to lose the league to Rangers by one point.

The funny thing was that the Celtic manager of the day, Neil Lennon, never made an issue of it. Neither did the Celtic support. Had it been a Scottish official who had erred, would they have remained so stoic? Hamer got a free pass in a way that a Scot may not have.
 
Personally myself i hope Rodgers stays put.The guys a bluffer.There will always be hope for Rangers, as long as Brendan Rodgers remains in parkhead.
Yep, apart from that unprecedented double treble, what has the guy done in Scottish football? :)
Couldn't have put it better CV, also should the hoops go on to win another treble and put their feat of a treble treble to the tune of a well known David Bowie song would that be another 'Rebel,Rebel' song for Parkhead.

It was a pathetic challenge, and l said it was the type of tackle you would expect to see on a Sunday morning game. You however picked out that one tackle, and decided it resented the standard of the league, which surely any sane person would agree was nonsense?

I merely pointed out I bet I could do the same in any of the English leagues. For some reason you decided that is weirdly defensive. I just don't get your line of thinking at all.
