Rangers Thread - 2023/24

Commentary split along club lines, I see!

Never a foul that. Celtic defender kicks the back of the Rangers player's leg.

 

[Len Rum]

Another example of VAR taking all the enjoyment out of the game.

Don't know bet the Celtic fans are loving it it wasn't given

I take it Rangers fans never enjoyed watching Xavi for Barça and Spain? They don’t like a backwards pass much do they?

 

[Betterdeedthan red]

Great goal

 

[pudge]

Right decision by VAR on the Rangers goal to be fair

 

[EL APACHE TEVEZ]

Nice finish

 

[No.8]

You get used to the cheating SFA bastards

Not for me. Rangers player plants his foot and Celtic player kicks it.

Great finish for the Celtic goal.

 

[Gabriel]

Poor defensive header and poor line management by the two central defenders. Compare the distance achieved by the defensive header with the distance achieved by the offensive header, just bad clearing.

 

[MCFC Wirral]

I lean towards Rangers but I’m currently in O’Shea’s on Whitworth Street and it’s wall to wall Celtic. Glaswegian and Irish accents everywhere.

Remind me keep very quiet if they equalise.

When has being kicked by an opponent been a foul?

Great finish for the Celtic goal.

Plants his leg across the player, no different to when the player runs across it.

Just because it's a kick the tendancey is to say he's initiated contact but the Rangers player hasn't played the ball and gone across the player and impeded him playing the ball.

Plus Kris Boyd tears are delicious

When you step across the player and don't play the ball before he tries to do so

I'm not a fan of either team but it's not much of a derby atmosphere since their squabble about away allocations, was more fun when one end was given to the visiting team.

You have to at it hahahaha

Don Robertson has reffed 43 Rangers games and we’ve won 28 ffs! Only second old firm game and we rarely drop points in this league

Reffed 32 Celtic games and they’ve won 29

 

[jimharri]

It's weird, and (in my opinion) wrong that a goal for the away team to score, and it to be greeted by silence in the stadium. Away fans should be in the stadia. Much as we hate the rags, the looks on their faces in the 6-3 were priceless. Plus, the feeling you'd experience winning at the home of your local rivals surely can't be beat. Come on old firm/SFA/Glasgow police, get it sorted.

When you step across the player and don't play the ball before he tries to do so

Like when a defender cuts in front of a attacker to shield the ball out of play (which happens in every game)?
