Rangers vs Celtic - January 2nd

"It's a rash decision, it wasn't a goalscoring opportunity, he might get a shot away but it's not a goalscoring opportunity"

Erm......

Does Neil know how you score goals?

[Diamonds are Forever 2,120]

People (in particular Lennon) are overstating the dominance of Celtic in that game. They started very well and dominated for 20 minutes or so through some high energy play. Once the game settled down they did nothing. McGregor made 1 excellent save from Griffiths and that was it. His save from Edouard was a standard save for a keeper at that level, and I can't remember him saving anything else apart from the offside effort. Listening to the pundits you'd think McGregor made a string of world class saves.

In the 2nd half Celtic offered nothing before the sending off and would have probably get a 0-0 draw at best. Both teams were really poor.

Gerrard - or his assistants - seem to be very tactically astute.

i think he's a blessing to thousand of fans of several teams in the EPL, Souness 2.0, success at Sevco will have the scousers demanding he be brought back home when Klopp calls it a day.

Their team has effectively just won their 1st title and what are they posting about? Rent free right enough.

Congratulations to all my sevco pals on here. But especially Bennet who stuck with it every single time, I'd buy you a pint if Nicola let me.

I'm away to cheer myself up.and watch that ripper documentary on Netflix.

Celtic were the better team in the first half.  We couldn't string two passes together and McGregor made two fantastic saves. 

Once we brought Hagi on I thought the game swung a bit more in our favour. Hagi seemed much more direct when he got on the ball.

The red card is a stick on. Don't see any way they can complain about that.  Duffy could have seen red as well.

To win the game without registering a shot in target is just the cherry on the cake for me. 

 

ETA: was lovely to see Stan Petrov looking healthy as well doing the studio punditry.

.........we're not paying defoe to sell him on for a huge profit, we're paying him to score goals and mentor our young players. defoe's wages are almost certainly less than brown's, who's fulfilling a similar role in celtic's squad......

C’mon mate you cannot compare Brown and Defoe in anyway shape or form or indeed their influence or importance to the club.....
 

Even from the bench I thought Defoe had a far more positive and important influence on today’s match than Brown did.......

This is spot on. Celtic started like a house on fire, but didn't do much after half-time and Rangers were coming right into it even before the red card.

My big pal finally outing himself as a bluenose.  Took you awhile, Bro.
Not that 'Auchinleck Talbot' was a tell...

Hint in the moniker as well. Talbot is a homage to my father in law who I go to games with most weekends when we’re allowed to go.

I'm sure that means a lot to him mate.

Do people think that it wasn't a red card?

I am listening to Sportsound and both Michael Stewart and Tom Anguish thought it was marginal.

I'd say it's a red all day long.

Think it's harsh to have a go at Lennon for doing anything other than coming out swinging.

He's essentially like this inside right now:

I'd say it was a red as much as anything for the sheer stupidity of the challenge 

[Henderson to deliver ..... 14,400]

That's the first time I've seen the incident since.

I'd want it given if it was against my team tbf, but I think it's wide enough and with Ajer possibly able to cover, to not be a '100%' red.

Simulation from Broonaldo trying to get an opponent sent off, one for the compliance officer to ignore.

 

When he was bossing Holt,  Windass and Kiernan about it was all fun and games..

I thought Duffy wiping out Kent was more of a red card tbh.
