Disappointing.
Well, games that ugly could get football stopped.
I can't remember a poorer display by both sides- even the dirty play was pretty unremarkable.
Celtic certainly played like they were feeling all the pressure- outside of 10-15 minutes I'm not sure there was any decent football played by Celtic.
Lustig, Tierney, Amrstrong, Gordon- the only players that played up to their own standards IMO (maybe could throw Bitton into that-though I'd argue his standard is not much btw.)
Many more games like that Dembele and you wont be going to any of the big leagues (not totally his fault has no one could connect a pass to him) more was needed.
The Rangers-some credit there I think- useless footballers but played with heart and tempo. Hyndman maybe looks like a decent player IMO.
It does look to me like the hype around McKay maybe gone. I've seen a few The Rangers matches lately and he's pretty useless looking these days- maybe just a rough patch? Maybe he's just not that good.
All that and a decent refereeing decision and we'd have nicked all three points (not sure if the ref was sighted or not so I won't slate him too badly for the penalty. I thought he was poor throughout, tho maybe poor relatively equally- typical Scottish standard of reffing.)
I wonder if that game wont end up to Celtics advantage- you could see the Rangers board thinking that maybe their not too far off- they'd be quite wrong.
Anyway, still undefeated, still going to win the league, and the treble is still on- so no real harm done though it was disappointing.
If Demebele is off this summer- we need a high quality striker and someone to do more in mid-field than either Bitton or Brown IMO.
Congrats to the Rangers support- I suspect they'll be quite happy today.
Disappointing.
whole team looked jaded and tired today.......not ne gets pass marks bar gordon
that said..whens a stonewaller not a stonewaller..........when yer playing the huvvvns
I thought Rangers were unlucky not to sneak a win today.
FFS a couple of years back this thread would have been 5 pages already.
What happened to this site??
I've really no idea what happened to this site really. But blaming it on social media is pretty weak in my opinion.
There used to be loads of football posts with the frequent GIRUY. For a long while it was just ****ers (mainly Celtic and The Rangers) ****ers with the odd loony from England thrown in. That's about when I more or less stopped caring.
I'm wondering, ED, have you ever reached out to some of the better posters? Asked them to come back.
There were loads that I didn't agree with but found interesting; Ianm, Bloobell, hell even Mark Dingwall was here for a while (though he could never deal with any adversity (bit like his team). I'd love to hear what DistantBear has to say (I actually have his e-mail but no idea if it's appropriate to bother him). That's just on the h.uns side of things.
Maybe I've just lost track of who's, who, but Verlaine and tons of Celtic supporters used to post here.
And, I'd love to hear what the Dons, the Hearts (brad something or other?) and other supporters have to say- it really is an interesting (outside the top spot), time to be a Scottish football supporter.
Anyway, I've no interest in hanging about Celtic sites talking about how great we are. I'd love a great Scottish Football site again. (Ok great might be pushing it, but...)
ED, get it sorted!
