Frimpong. Moreorlessos should have been sent off. Committed about 20fouls. He takes the back of Juluens Achilles and we had to put the ball out for him to get treatment. Horrible wee ****. It was made worse when they never gave the ball back to us. Dignity indeed.

Take your green n grey specs off ,he barely touched him, it wasn't a foul at all,a team won't kick the ball out for someone who's play-acting. If your totting up fouls how about Gollum McGregor on a yellow then commits another 7 fouls with no red. Celtc were very lucky and the winning goal was so offside it was a joke.

He hacked him. The pain felt is as warming as the win itself. We were shit and they still couldn't win with a penalty missed a d us down to ten men for half an hour. They shat it. If they think they as going to get £30m for that little hacking prick they are even more deluded than even I thought. Oh the Bluebells are very blue indeed.
 
Watched the game as there wasn't much else on and its 90 mins of my life I won't get back. It was like watching Championship football at best, two poor sides who on the whole couldn't string two passes together or shoot straight in the case of Rangers. Utter gash

Great to see that prick Morelos have a stinker.
First half I thought Rangers played well.
Second half was a struggle for both teams.

We defended well second half but were fucking dire overall. Only Fraser and Frimpong played well. The rest needed their arses kicked. Fortunately we were playing fuck all so two players turning up was enough to win it. Even though one of them got sent off.

Whatever happened to getting rid of double jeopardy? Frimpong shouldn't have been sent off imo.

If no effort is made to get the ball it's a red which means that a pull back like this is going to be a red everytime. You have to show the ref that a genuine effort is made which is why keepers are now seeing yellow if they make a genuine attempt to get the ball and not a red

I get the gloating, the posturing etc as that's what you guys do, from the manager, to the captain, to guys like Sutton in the media. Some of the comments are laughable though. You were playing fuck all, yet you got outplayed by fuck all. Slating Morelos yet he had umpteen chances against the latest wonder youngster Ajer and the 2nd coming of Van Dijk in Julien.

Surely you must have some concern about that?

It was a penalty and sending off according to the new rules. It was a pity as the wee guy was immense. Still, a valuable lesson for him in his development. Hopefully the rest of the team turn up on the 29th as playing them with two players at it might not work twice. :)

We never turned up and you couldn't score in a barrel of fannies. If Morelos was worth half
what the press are trying to convincing people he's worth he would have scored a hattrick.
That was your best chance and you fucked itup. That's why we are laughing. I never heard so much pity when we used to play you off the park with Goram stopping everytging and you would win. Do you?

He had an off day, but it's not like he was blasting them high and wide, they were on target and were saved well by Forster. The penalty was shocking though, I'll give you that. I'd be concerned if I was a Celtic fan how easily he was getting himself in. The guy is top scorer in the league and the Europa League so he must have something about him?

It's not about pity, like I said, you all love a gloat, we know that, but it is possible to have a reasonable discussion as well. The Tommy Burns side you talk about in the 90`s for instance, it's easy for me to say how good a team they were, especially the season they lost only 1 game but still didn't win the league. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed if we beat them, but could also acknowledge how good they were and that they played us off the park at times.

You played well. Morelos is a good player, but as Ally said, to be a great Ranger you need to do the business against us. There is no hiding place from that. And as for gloating? Rangers fans are in a league if their own in that score. Not recently obviously. If Eduoard had been bearing down on your goal instead of Johnson it would have been 2.0. young Mickey shat it.

See, that wasn't so hard now! :-)
Yeah, it was a blatant miss by Johnson, think he took a bad touch just before the shot which put him totally off.

Think Morelos is now at the stage where he's trying to hard / over thinking things in front of goal. The longer his barren run against Celtic goes, the more anxious he'll get until 1 goes in off his arse or something.

Only a couple weeks or so until the next game, you'll be confident for that? Do you think you'll look to strengthen in January, & if so what positions would you strengthen?

I am confident we will win on the 29th. We were without Eduoard and it showed. This was further complicated by Christie, Morgan, Elynoussi being shit first half. After Eddy came in we improved but we're now down a man so it was hold our ground time. We will buy a striker or get a top one on loan in Jan. Maybe another two 1 der and midfielder. We or I should say, our board have a habit of staring at their shoes. They know you have upped the ante and with £60m + in the bank with the £25m we got for KT in the tin we need to keep moving forward. Being seeded in Europe should also focus the minds of the usually dithering ****s in charge.

I've said it for years, you won't fuck us up, we would if we didn't up our spending game.

When you look at the games since Gerrard has been manager, I think performance wise we have shown we can compete with you guys. Where you have the edge in my opinion is that your striker has more composure in these games to help be a difference maker, and also that you have in the likes of Christie, Mcgregor and Forrest, more consistent goalscorers than we have in our midfield. Where we make 5 or 6 good chances and struggle to score, you make 1 or 2 & convert them.

We have lots of options for the wide forward position opposite Kent (Ojo, Stewart, Murphy, Jones, Barker etc), but none with real quality, so that would be priority position for us to strengthen. That and adding goals from central midfield. I'm not sure we'll have any budget to do so mind you unless we get players out the door first.

What players can you get out the door that will give you the resources to do that? Apart from Morelos I don't see any queues forming either for him or anybody else. You have improved but so have we. Our defence under Rogers would never have stood up in Sunday. Even when most of our team played shit we still won. Our players should be raging at how most of them performed. The 29th I am sure will see them get back to form and if we do that will be the test for you. I think you will keep Morelos for the simple reason the price banded by your fans in the press has resulted in not a single enquiry. He has had numerous games against us where he has had, " bad days" against us. Scoring loads of goals us great, but, scoring vital goals against us is missing. No one will pay anywhere near £30m for a player who shits it when it matters most. That's why you spend that kind of money. Not for goals against the other clubs in the league working with a ten Bob budget. Let's see how you cope with the December fixtures. I won't wish you good luck in them, but I will hope apart from football you have a great time.

You may well be correct but I have a feeling your board might let you down again.
