Dons_1988 Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 That's what's so laughable. It starts off as an appeal to assist referrers in their difficult task. It then becomes a list of petty grievances, before they brazenly accuse refs of singling out their player. It's an absolutely embarrassing way for a club to behave.Yep. I’m not a fan but there is a reasonable argument to be made for VAR, and after a victory is even decent timing as it’s not necessarily sour grapes. And yet.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man for man, Celtic have the better players, but Gerrard nailed it. Lennon was/ is the cheap shite option and it may well come back to haunt them. Watch as his behaviour deteriorate as the pressure mounts...... Do they have the better players? Keeper, probably equal, Fullbacks, rangers are much better, especially left back, celtics fullbacks dont threaten like they used to Centre halves, arguably rangers are better again, more dominant, more physical, more of a threat Midfield 3, davis is a better player than any of celtics 3, jack and kamara are just as good as Mcgregor imo, christie flatters to decieve, brown (while getting old) brings a lot to celtic through his mentality which cannot be ignored, Mcgregor is a good player just rangers system nullified his forward runs Wingers, aribo isnt consistent enough, but neither is johnston, kent is miles away better than any of they two plus forrest, forrest has fell off a cliff Strikers, meh, both are just as good for what their team requires of them, morelos is more of a target man, sits on the last man and bullies him, takes the defence focus off our other players (kent unmarked in the box for thr first goal for example) , edouard instead finds the pockets of space in dangerous areas (his goal at ibrox, found the space to run into and done us) What celtic have over rangers is a winning mentality that comes with years of success, but gerrard is installing a greater degree of fight and determination which on days like yesterday can overcome inexperience of winning big games 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They still do this at full time. Really? Haven't noticed. Ever since rangers cut our allocation after deciding ibrox wasn't a venue you were allowed to celebrate in, I've not been able to land a ticket for our last three visits. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's human nature the referees shite it at Parkhead and Ibrox. In what way, can you highlight a wrong decision thats went rangers or celtics way this season that has either won them the game or turned the game in their favour allowing them to go on and win the game? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I genuinely don't know whether the authors of such rubbish are genuinely deluded. Do they actually believe that Rangers are unfairly treated on the whole, by match officials? Or is it a dispassionate thoroughly cynical exercise in stoking the flames of an irrational, paranoid fanbase, because it serves their broader purposes? I don't know which would be less impressive to be honest, but I do wonder about it. Maybe it's a bit of both. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is Traynor still behind them? I'm sure he would indeed be cynical in his approach. I suspect he probably despises Rangers fans. I well remember him on Radio Scotland years ago, referring to "the OF and the morons who support these clubs". He has however since left my personal Hall of Fame. I also think however, that the delusion probably does reach quite high. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sexybaldyguy Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 Both Rangers and Celtic fans should be careful of what they wish for when it comes to VAR. Us “diddy” Club supporters have most to benefit from VAR when playing Rangers / Celtic, given the amount of dodgy decisions given against us over the years. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of Aberdeen fans were screaming for var last week, so it's not just us and them and personally I'd rather not have it for reasons previously explained. We've had quite a few dodgy decisions against us while playing smaller teams (including St Mirren), it happens. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snifter Pee Rot Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 Their wee ned should get a big ban for that gesture, as any other player or coach would. No pathetic outbursts from Sevco should deflect from that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmontheloknow Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 Looking at Twitter, VAR seems to generate nothing but seethe after every decision so not sure it would be worth it. Knowing the chunts on both sides, they'd probably claim VAR had been hacked if anything went against them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No pathetic outbursts from Sevco should deflect from that. The throat slitting gesture is a common way to express that 'time's up'in many parts of South America. Nothing remotely sinister about it. Just as the Ulster salute was honestly nothing to do with a seig heil. I know because BBC Scotland gave airtime to a Rangers fan representative so he could explain the misunderstanding. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
