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? ;)

So lets get this right, YOU'RE criticising the official for getting that wrong but the rest were ok ?

You clearly have no interest in what is right, or wrong, and just make up keech as you go along. lol

You are the one who is complaining about the ref. I said most of the decisions he got wrong were only spotted after people watched replays of the incidents.

Supporters of The Rangers were demanding VAR after a couple of insanely tight decisions went against them. You actually posted a picture that shows four players from The Rangers are encroaching, and their keeper is off his line, which I pointed out. Instead of admitting you got it wrong, you're now trying to spin it that I'm criticising the ref. Some decisions are practically impossible for an official to see.

I'm not criticising any of the officials for not noticing Celtic's penalty should have been retaken. I didn't notice it at the game, and I didn't even spot it watching the highlights on TV afterwards. I'm just pointing out that when you demand VAR it won't always work in your favour.

Deflection and denial? Seriously? From a guy who can't bring himself to admit four of his teams players are encroaching, and the keeper is off the line in a still photo! lol

You're the definition of denial. ;)

Think you're the only one who would expect a retake there tbh,even Clancy didn't go for it !!!
Anyway if it soften's the pain then you go with it . #55
 
Smokies 1 v 2 Slice roll

An outstanding first 30 mins set the Ton up for only our 2nd away win of the season. Arbroath made it tough for us 2nd half, but we were tenacious and dogged and held out for the win.
Great day out, son drove so managed a couple of beers, had a Smokie (lovely), my son, his pal and I got Comp tickets, had a steak and black pudding pie, 3 points and 3 hours in the pub when we got home...have defo had worse Saturdays. Everton win tomorrow will make my weekend.

Didn't you see the Wolves - Man City game?

You've flopped miserably in this debate. You've taken a bigger pounding than the old Rangers did in the 1957 Scottish League Cup final. If you don't know the result of that game, it was an eight goal thriller.

As for softening the pain. once again a supporter of The Rangers is celebrating before they've actually won anything. They did this after The Rangers came third in a two horse race in the Scottish Championship, and got to the play off final. They were going to sweep Motherwell aside, except that no one told Motherwell the script, and the plucky, cash strapped, newco lost 1 - 6 on aggregate.

You have thought supporters of The Rangers may have learned a lesson, but no. After their penalty shoot out win over Celtic in the Scottish Cup semi final in 2016. The cup was secured, until Anthony Stokes stepped up and helped Hibs to their first Scottish Cup win in over a hundred years.

Now by this time you would definitely think supporters of The Rangers would have learned their lesson, and kept their powder dry, but, once again, no. After finally wining the second tier title, they were now going to put Celtic in it's place, because they had a manager who was the possessor of a magic hat (lol) I still have to laugh at that one, and also Joey Barton was enlisted.

Joey proudly boasted about how no one in Scotland could get near him, and he was in a different league to Scott Brown. It would appear that league must have been somewhere around National League North level, as he put in a few nondescript performances, before he left after he disagreed strongly that the manager of The Rangers was the owner of a magic hat, and left Mr Warburton in no doubt as to his own valuation of his managerial credentials.

Then there was last season. Steven Gerrard definitely improved The Rangers, and put up a much better fight than Mr Warburton, or Mr Caixinha. He put up such a good fight that The Rangers actually won a game in normal time against Celtic for the first time in the clubs history, around a year ago. Once again supporters of The Rangers celebrated, and boasted how they were going to win the title, and how everyone should get on board The 55 Express blah blah. blah. Once again, it all turned to Rafael, and Celtic went on to win their 8th, that's EIGHTH, league title in a row, and also completed an unprecedented treble treble.

We'll see what happens this season. Gerrard has improved The Rangers to the extent that Celtic are ten points better off than they were at this time last season, but if The Rangers win their game in hand they will go top of the league. The Rangers were definite challengers last season, but this season they are deadly serious challengers.

I've seen the state The Rangers fans have gotten into after winning two league games against Celtic a year apart, both in December. I shudder to think what they'll be like when the club actually wins a top level trophy for the first time in it's history. Obviously I'm not including The Petrofac Cup, or whatever it was called. Unlike your good self, I'll wait until the trophies are handed out and I see who wins them before I decide on whether to celebrate, or not. ;)
 
MODS, please.

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.

Most supporters on both sides couldn't explain their own modern day religious "views" or more importantly what exactly is wrong with the other side's religious beliefs.


Historically it is a fact that the now sadly defunct club Rangers, founded in 1872, would not sign an RC until Souness signed Mo Johnson.

Celtic was founded in 1888 principally to raise funds for providing cheap dinners to the Catholic destitute- Br Walfrid etc. But although they did not apply a counter bar on signing non RCs, Jock Stein was their first non RC manager.

Really the "sectarianism" today is pure and simple tribal bigotry.

Is that not signing a catholic until Johnson totally true mate ? I’m not being pedantic , well not overly so , and there is absolutely no doubt there was a policy but there were certainly catholic’s that played for rangers before him mostly I accept before WWI . I do also know I read an article by John spencer , one of my least favourite ever Everton players by the way , about the sectarianism he experienced as a Catholic rangers player ! And he made his debut whilst Mo was still at Celtic .

So in no way am I defending what seems to have been a definite policy that almost certainly sowed the seeds of a lot of what we still see today just trying to be accurate I suppose and I fully endorse your last sentence .
 
Rangers were founded, by four young men who enjoyed playing football.Love of football was the main motivating reason, behind the founding of the famous Glasgow Rangers.Religion had sweet f all to do about it.

Rangers did have a couple of catholics before Johnson, and Celtic had a few protestants at that time too. Both sets of fans try to use that fact to claim the other side is more bigoted than them, however the reality is that both clubs were fundamentally bigoted, and predominantly both sets of fans still are unfortunately, and are more interested in trying to claim the other side is worse rather than admitting the problem and cleaning up their own house.
It's the main reason I support one of the new firm rather than either of the old firm
