Celtic 6 yellows
Rangers 2

Your point is?

My point is there was persistent fouling by one team all game and 5 of the six yellow cards were handed out later in the game with Celtic winning 3-1. That seems a little strange. I have no beef as I don't follow either team or Scottish football. Just found the refereeing lenient to say the least.

I won’t use the officials as an excuse for such a lacklustre performance where the team show little to no fight or desire. That was an Old Firm ffs!! Someone has to lose but there are ways to lose and that is just unacceptable

But yes we are used to it. I predicted weeks ago that they were saving Walsh for this game.

I thought you looked ok for a lot of the first half. Some nice tempo and passing movements. Not so much in the second though.

It’s been this way for quite a while now. Simply cannot do it over a full 90 minutes. Too many loan players. Too many don’t get what it means to play here.

The table doesnt lie. Two best teams over the season will play for the league this week while Rangers are yet again also rans… and that’s after spending a relative fortune!

If Hearts beat Falkirk and draw with Celtic they'll win it by a point.

Celtic still have to win away at Motherwell who are going for a European place. That is nowhere near a sure thing.
 
Rangers are a Mickey Mouse outfit cosplaying as a big club absolutely embarrassing

And in Greece, Belgium, Austria, Switzerland, Czechia..

Hopefully Rangers will win today and put Hearts closer to breaking the boring Old Firm dominance.

We don't split it in half. We bizarrely split it in 3. A group to decide the Champions/European placing, a group to decide relegation spots and a completely stupid middle group of 4 teams that play semi-finals and a final for no discernible reason.

Sadly my team are in the middle group. Lost 3-1 at home and currently winning 2-0 away and so it goes into extra time. Winner goes into the middle group final. The winner of that gets to boast that we were the best of the middle 4 teams. Absolutely crazy. Neither the players or fans of the middle group care. What's the point?

Edit - Olomouc scored a late goal in extra time and so we're out. Save me a few quid in not having to go to another pointless game anyway.

That does seem a bit strange. The whole point of the split in SPFL is to cut out meaningless end of season games.

We add them instead!!

Makes some kind of sense (even if I don't agree with it) for the top and bottom groups but the middle group is just pointless. Fans don't care and by the looks of the game so far, neither do the players.
