Scottish football

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.

The incredible thing about this is, that wouldn't be some knuckle dragger who happened to be passing by. That would almost certainly have been done by someone who was working there at the time.

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.

Sutton ???

Look Kris, we know it's you.

You don't seem to read posts, and respond to them with a counter argument. You're kind of acting like Boyd and just reacting, though in fairness you're a bluenose, and not paid a lot of money to give a professional insight into events at a football match, like the bold Kris.

Sutton is obviously biased in favour of Celtic, everyone has a bias in favour of at least one team, but I don't remember seeing him so angry that he could hardly speak and ended up umming and ermimg his way through the half time discussion with a ludicrous rant about a referee missing an incident that he clearly didn't even see himself.

What part of Boyd's half time "analysis" even bordered on the professional? It was toe curlingly bad. Like I said, the text my mate received mocking Boyd's performance was from an Aberdeen fan.

Well yes, there was swipe card entry on the doors and all that.

The manager of the security team was a rangers fan and he was absolutely mortified.

That's Scotland for you mate.

Over the years, I've met loads of cracking guys who have supported Rangers, but the ones who shares the Orange Order's values are absolute poison, and cause division wherever they go. It's not a football rivalry like Everton - Liverpool, or Arsenal - Spurs etc. These people are brought up to hate Celtic, Catholics, and Irish people. I doubt they could give you a valid reason for their hatred. It's just seems to be a case of their grandad hated Celtic, Catholics, and the Irish, and their dad hated them, so they hate them as well.

So in your 'unbiased' opinion did you think Clancy refereed the game fairly/correctly ?

Mate, whilst I am having a bit of a wind up. North Sea oil is a fleeting moment in time and nothing to base an economy on. Even the big producers are diversifying.

Scotland is better as a part of Britain on the basis that Britain is better in the EU and it should not end there. The only border we have is a man made invention.

Seriously, what point are you trying to make? You're acting like Kris Boyd, and just reacting, instead of actually addressing any of the points I've made. Have I ever claimed to be unbiased. I think I said everyone has a bias, even pundits, but they tend not to act like a child throwing their toys out of the pram the way Boyd did on Sunday.

Are you accusing Clancy of cheating? He missed a handball that expert pundit Boyd obviously missed himself at first. The Rangers were screaming for VAR a couple of weeks ago, as they claimed they just want fairness. They were also raging on Sunday about Celtic's goal, but strangely enough didn't mention that Celtic's penalty should have been retaken due to encroachment. A more cynical guy than me could get the impression that instead of wanting fairness, The Rangers just want everything their own way.

Remember the days of "Parkhead Paranoia" when Celtic fans were branded paranoid when they said some Rangers supporting officials may let their hearts rule their heads on occasions? If only we could go back to the good old days of Jim McCluskey, JRP Gordon, and The Reverend Mike McCurry, who didn't seem to even bother going through the motions of trying to appear impartial. I wonder how The Rangers would feel if it were reported in the paper that a Scottish ref had been spoken to by the police for being drunk at a Republican, or Hibernian, march, like Mr McCluskey was at an Orange Order march?

I believe 100% Clancy refereed the game fairly. Don't you? As for him refereeing it correctly, like every ref he missed incidents that would have been overturned if VAR were in operation, but apart from that I thought he had a decent enough game. In every single game of football there will be incidents that supporters on both sides feel should have been awarded in their favour, or tackles by opponents that should be have punished with a card, or one of their players was carded and they didn't think it was justified. I tend to get angry about ludicrous decisions that you wonder how the officials missed them, not something I need a replay to spot.

It seems to me the trouble with The Rangers support is they've had so much go for them in the past when it comes to refereeing decisions that they feel outraged about bawhair decisions that can only be seen on replays. Perhaps if Rangers fans had seen an opponent dive and punch the ball away from goal, with all 6 officials managing to miss it, they would know the difference between baffling decisions, and bawhair decisions?

Let me know where the encroachment was ?

 

[The Celtic View]

Let me know where the encroachment was ?

When Christie kicks the ball 3 players of each team are encroaching. I'm surprised you can't see that.

As for the first video, like I said previously, in every single game of football there will be incidents that supporters on both sides feel should have been awarded in their favour, or tackles by opponents that should be have punished with a card, or one of their players was carded and they didn't think it was justified. I tend to get angry about ludicrous decisions that you wonder how the officials missed them, not something I need a replay to spot.

The first video is clearly made up by a supporter of The Rangers, and even in the video in which they're highlighting decisions going against them it looks to me like the red card they wanted for Jullien was a clear foul by Morelos on Jullien.

Christie hasn't even kicked the ball, but Goldson is clearly encroaching there, as is Aribo. Can't you see that?

It looks like Katic is too. Take the photo on another frame or two, to when Christie kicked the ball and you should see 3 of The Rangers players encroaching in to the area.

There are 3 players from The Rangers definitely encroaching in this photo, I've highlighted them, and Christie still hasn't kicked the ball yet! It looks like Katic may also be encroaching, but you can't say for certain in those shots, and you would need the camera to roll on a frame or two.

I wouldn't give up the day job to apply to work on VAR, if I were you.

P.S McGregor is also off his line.

In a thread were you are criticising an official for missing incidents at normal speed, you can't even see the 3 players I've actually highlighted who are clearly encroaching into the penalty area? lol

So there we have it from The Rangers supporter. Ignore clear evidence right in front of him, and repeat the party line. Shockeroonie!

Imagine demanding VAR, then coming up with a photo that shows I'm correct! lol

P.S. There's another player from The Rangers who appears to be encroaching. I didn't notice him earlier. He's just behind Aribo who clearly has his foot in the D. You do know the D is part of the penalty box, don't you?
