I was just thinking back to el hadji diouf who was another hot head.

Diouf was bad, but he's nowhere near as bad as Morelos. Certainly not on the pitch anyway.

Perhaps Alfredo is a saint off the park, but on it he's always up to something, either sneaky stamps on opponents feet, or umpteen ludicrous dives. I genuinely can't remember someone who misbehaves so consistently on the field. Referees have let him away with a lot this season, hence the narrative from Ibrox that he's a changed man, but anyone who seen any of their games will realise he hasn't changed a bit.

I think he's a really good player for Rangers, and he scores lots of goals, but if I were scouting him, I would avoid him like the plague, as wherever he goes he's unlikely to get as many officials who support the club he plays for, and will act as sympathetically to his antics as the Scottish officials.
 
Happy new year Walter, remember to choose the correct log in when deciding which of your teams you want to talk nonsense about.

Oh and @larbert toffee, couldn't have summed him up better myself lol lol

Both of you have the same passive aggressive posting style, both of post in a personal nasty and abusive way.But anyway belated congratulations, to @The Celtic View on the league cup win.I actually thought Rangers were the better team, but i'd rather play crap and still win the trophy any day.But it looks like Celtic finally have a title challenger this year.

Undoubtedly.

Fair play to Gerrard. He has really improved the team from the easybeats he inherited from Pedro Caixinha. They look a good, well drilled, team nowadays.

lol lol You have the posting style of a Walter Mitty fantasist and spout absolute nonsense about things you have never experienced and never will. Are you @The Celtic View too?
 
Also seems to think that those of us who have sussed out how horrible Rangers and their fans are, are somehow Celtic fans???

Well, I'm from Liverpool. I was a kid in the 90s and Gazza was my favourite player, he's the reason I followed Lazio and Italian football through the 90s, and then he went to Rangers. So I started following Rangers and Scottish football in the 90s too.

I was never a Rangers "fan", but I never had an axe to grind against Rangers either.

Then I moved to Scotland about six years ago and Ibrox was actually the first club I wanted to visit. I remember getting off the subway and couldn't believe that Ibrox was practically there, it must be the easiest stadium to travel to, very similar in respects to San Siro. Get train, get subway, then a short walk to stadium.

The best experience of Ibrox was actually walking upto the stadium and seeing Gazza and McCoist on the facade of the stadium. You do get the feel that it's a big club with lots of history. Which of course it is.

Cut a long story short, I also went to Easter Road, Alloa, Tynecastle, Stirling, Pittodrie, Celitc Park stadiums, sitting in the home end of all of them. And the worst experience is Ibrox. And the worst and unfriendliest fans are by far and away Rangers fans. Not all of them of course, but there just seems to be an overwhelming lot.

Rangers fans I now associate with the very worst kopites, and it's amazing the amount of Rangers fans that support Liverpool up here. But they also have a weird English hooligan vibe about them that also makes me associate them with the likes of the worst Millwall and Chelsea fans.

My favourite Diouf story was him trying to claim legal aid as an African immigrant when the TV licensing took him to court for non payment. An absolute lunatic, that boy.

Were some really sordid tales about him when he was at Liverpool.

Used to cycle through govanhill etc on my way to work when I lived in Glasgow. I never had an axe to grind with Rangers until I met them first hand. Now i know some decent Rangers fans, I used to live by McCoist in Kilmacolm and he was a good bloke, met Richard Gough when he was visiting and he was nice too....

But then you get Bomber Brown rabble rousing outside Ibrox when they went bust. The absolute state of their fans turning Manchester into a warzone cos the ale ran out, a mates brother losing his eye because he got glasses in a rangers pub near ibrox for wearing green trainers on the sub crawl, the bouncy bouncy... i could go on.

I dealt with them and Celtic as a commercial entity when I worked on the commonwealth games stadium services team as well. Celtic were open to suggestions, didn't bat an eyelid at the queen being present at Parkhead for the opening ceremony, a pleasure... Rangers were arrogant to the point of telling the catering manager of 3 Olympic games that they knew better than him how to manage the event.

I would add as well that Barrs gave us in the Glasgow 2014 office a massive Irn Bru fridge filled with the ginger... within 24 hours somebody had scratched "RFC FTP" and a certain year across the front of it in foot high letters.

Cos the Barrs are Catholic.

Morons.

Don't have an axe to grind with them individually, Jesus, my missus and her family are all Rangers :) and my best mate up here also, but as a group support and a club they're the worst.
 


And Germans Love "Footballs Coming Home".

Does that make them English fans? Half the Bundesliga sings You'll never walk alone and another dozen clubs across the world.


To be honest though my stomach turns with every one of them . I know it probably says a lot about me and It’s all about personal feelings isn’t it but I cannot abide that song and other than funerals where I stay out our respect I won’t be in a room when it plays .
 
Left to you it would still be there.

Yeah, despite all the inventions Scottish folk have come up with, no one would have worked out how to get our oil out of the ground.

In think I'll break into my neighbours house, and steal his 60 inch 4K TV. If I'm caught I'll use the "But he doesn't know how to make a telly" excuse. ;)
 
Good to see you're still hurting !!

Good to see the only argument you can put forward to my points is "Good to see you're still hurting !!" lol

I notice Boyd wasn't shouting for VAR after the "baffling refereeing decision" not to allow Celtic's penalty to be retaken due to encroachment?

I can accept your clear Rangers bias, you're obviously a bluenose, but I expect people on TV to be at least verging on the professional. Boyd was a million miles from being professional on Sunday. My mate got a text from an Aberdeen fan just after half time saying Boyd had lost it, and could hardly speak he was so angry. Despite knowing this, I still didn't expect such a petulant display from him over decisions that really could only be spotted after seeing replays, and he didn't actually spot himself.
