his. I've no issue with it.
Shame he didn't show the same level of fight the rest of the season though. Same goes for the rest of them.
We didn't deserve to go up. It's a long road back for us, now longer than anticipated and we need to get some proper plans and investment in the club. Had McCall got us up we'd only have been papering over McCoists cracks so it's as well he didn't.
But for all the carping fans of other teams at least we have plenty of memories to keep us going during the journey back.
I think moanthebairns was being sarcastic. You simply can't behave like that on a football park, and it's certainly not acceptable. Shame he didn't show the same level of fight the rest of the season though. Same goes for the rest of them.

You have to be a bit messed up to justify that type of embarrassing behaviour on a football pitch.
He's out of contract isn't he? If he wasn't he would be facing a lengthy ban. I'd also expect assault charges to be pressed.
What I was laughing about today, was Rangers fans were trying to justify and excuse Moshni, but wanted the game replayed, the guy arrested, demanding to know who was and where he lived after he accidentally hit McCulloch in the face with a flag after trying to scoop the ball away.
It was nothing more than a silly accident.
I feel for Cammy Bell after that howler. It didn't change the game at all as Rangers were never getting back into the game. Motherwell were always looking the more likely to score. It's really harsh to blame him and the ref. Rangers fans going mental because Motherwell didn't have a couple of players booked, forgetting that they should have had two red cards for elbowing and kicking.
It's sad that Motherwell's two good performances of outclassing Rangers have been overshadowed. It's sad that rather than football the discussions and fighting over the game have turned very unsavoury.
I wasn't, you cant go around pushing people and get away with it, did you see the incident? He was walking away, by the looks of it had done nothing, then gets a mighty push from the back.
If you did that in Asda, would you not expect to get punched.
Give them both a red card and that's it. They both are a
holes.

Yes I did see it and I agree that they are both aIf you did that in Asda, would you not expect to get punched.

holes.holes. Moshni didn't have the class to shake the guys hand. He also according to Erwin told him to "f
k off". Erwin should still have just walked away. Pushing is handbags, but merited a yellow card. It wasn't a clever thing to do.
Turning around then assaulting someone on live TV in a high profile game isn't exactly clever. Watching a bunch of grown men behaving like school children is embarrassing.
If you did that in Asda you'd likely be facing a charge of assault. Doing it on a football match surrounded by loads of angry people, live on TV, by a professional sportsperson is significantly worse.
If we start excusing and justifying this kind of behaviour on the football park, it'll end up in the gutter.

So many fannies on the Rangers thread as per usual. Never mind , hey-ho onwards and upwards fellow Rangers men. I look forward to a new season without all the deadwood within the club.
(Oh and to any of you aholes who think that the motherwell fans "brush" with McCulloch was accidental really really need to have a reality check.)

LOL. Are you actually serious? (Oh and to any of you a
holes who think that the motherwell fans "brush" with McCulloch was accidental really really need to have a reality check.)Clearly he was aiming at the ball, and he clearly tried to scoop the ball upwards. The upwards movement then hits McCulloch.
He's got his eyes on the ball the entire time.
If he swung it round at head height I'd give it some merit. However there is absolutely zero doubt it was accidental.
Here's the GIF doing the rounds to show you're wrong.
If you think that's intentional, you need to take the glasses off, or go to Specsavers.

I fail to see what the issue is.
To be fair, that sort of push will happen several times every weekend of the season. Normally followed by the other player pushing back or maybe squaring up chin to chin. I fail to see what the issue is.
But to kick a bloke then punch him in the face is despicable. Hopefully the book will be well and truly thrown at the player... and before any of the pro-Rangers fans get on my back, I'm 100% neutral on Scottish football and have no axe to grind at all.

He ran and pushed him in the back, not a wee push front the front. It's a highly charged atmosphere, to say they're supposed to be role models bla bla doesn't cross the mind in the heat of the moment. Anyone's first reaction after being hit is to hit back.Turning around then assaulting someone on live TV in a high profile games isn't exactly clever.

Moshni is useless as a player but I admire him for striking back. Erwin deserved his burst lip.
Football is supposed to be entertainment. I was entertained. The best games have a bit of needle- Woods and McAvennie then Roberts conducting hullo hullo, Ferguson and Di Canio up the tunnel, Gazza playing the flute, Diouf spitting on Celtic fans, McCoist and Lennon squaring up, it's all part of the game. It's not crown green bowls.

He isnt happy to hit mcculloch the 1st time so has another dig at his thigh, if you cant see that then its you who needs specsavers. I mean what the f.uck is he doing pissin about with a brolly in that situation anyway?Clearly he was aiming at the ball, and he clearly tried to scoop the ball upwards.

He didn't run and push him, he was walking just a stride behind him trying to get him to shake hands. Moshni is useless as a player but I admire him for striking back. Erwin deserved his burst lip.

If every player threw a fist every time they were pushed on the football field, we'd have a large amount of players banned for a long time. Nearly every player has the self control not to take it too far. For all the squaring up that goes on, it's usually all just handbags.
I can't actually remember the last time I've seen a professional player punch another in the face. It's such a rare incident thankfully.
There is entertainment and there is entertainment. If you enjoy seeing men behaving like 5 year olds punching and spitting on people, that clearly shows what level you are at.
Sadly when the players behave like that the repurcussions are widespread. It doesn't just end with people going home saying that's entertainment.
Reading the vast majority of opinions of those who gave them after today, entertained has been used once, by you.
