Quite quiet in here considering there was 2 rangers penalties today, usually a few in here provide great analysis but none tonight for some reason
The first was a pen, the 2nd no chance, I see Rangers fans on social media complaining about the pens going to VAR, never happy it would appear

Can actually see us beating rangers another twice and still loosing the league lol. Silver lining, no Rodgers boreball next year. We can also get a shot at the easy competition for Europe and win the pretend "but were better in Europe than you" trophy.
He had two choices when he came in, keep Angeball or demand decent players to install his own pragmatic possession styleWe ended up stockpiling projects and having no overall style of play bar keep the ball and pass it back
We definitely have missed Hatate all season (albeit Rodgers dropped him for Turnbull at the beginning of the season)
There's a mental malaise at the moment (McGregor's punt on 70 mins on Sunday set the rest of the team on edge and you could see an equaliser coming)
League isn't over but it's going to take a sudden dynamic shift to get the season back on track
I'm sure the rest of Scottish football is glad the league isn't its usual procession
An absolutely phenomenal performance from rangers today.
Was worried that it would be a cagey game today and that rangers would just be trying to keep a nose in front but that was a team that smells blood and wants to be successful. Totally destroyed hearts from kick off and were just absolutely relentless. Fast dynamic passing, players not afraid to take the ball while being marked and switching from short intricate stuff to long balls when they had to.
Dessers got motm but discussing it with my dad and guys around us it was hard who to pick as every players was totally on it today, even with changes the pace and quality of play didn’t really go down.
A real statement and massive pressure on Celtic tomorrow.

Rodgers cracking big time under the pressure, his post match interview with the bbc was embarrassing for him.
2 different women’s groups calling for him to apologise this morning.
Perhaps tellingly though, not the actual woman he was speaking to... 2 different women’s groups calling for him to apologise this morning.
Feel free to clutch your pearls and remain faux-offended though, Doris.

I honestly thought that the posting posse had all left the country, I honestly thought that I would come back here to several pages of who said what, in particular from the multi paragraph prince of prattle.Feel free to clutch your pearls and remain faux-offended though, Doris.
But then I gave myself a pinch and realised that as per usual and reminded myself that if it’s not a negative story about Glasgow Rangers then this forum is dead (I’ve given you an in there).
I think on topic it’s a minor issue blown up by the press, and you’re right when you say that the reporter isn’t too bothered by it all. Back to the football now.

If by posting posse you mean 'fans of the other clubs who generally disagree with me', then yes I do try to stay away as some people are so blinded by their own blue tinted specs they'll use anything to score points.

Thank god some people are posting though, and given your reasoned, on topic response I look forward to your next contribution to the thread in a year or so.

Offended? I was laughing at him, he was rattled and his over inflated ego was bruised. Didn’t buy into the sexism stuff but he was condescending towards her.Feel free to clutch your pearls and remain faux-offended though, Doris.
Anyway the penalty call against hibs tonight was comical, coming together of two players and the hearts player goes down like he’s been shot. A Kevin Clancy masterclass.
Rangers done well to get the 3 points tonight, the first half was an abysmal performance and killie totally had rangers by the balls. Manager didn’t mess about and changed it and the performance instantly went up. It was always going to be a slog on that pitch so glad it’s 3 points and up the road.

Bump in the road for rangers today, just not at it at all from the first whistle.
A lot of injuries to our attackers really hurt the team today, flat, square passing all day and the two centre backs were bullied all game by the Motherwell centre forward.
I agree with all of that, Motherwell looked up for it at the start while we looked complacent. Although Motherwell deserved their lead I thought we were a little unlucky not to be even by half time. The lack of wingers really restricted what we could do but there were plenty of chances to win the game.A lot of injuries to our attackers really hurt the team today, flat, square passing all day and the two centre backs were bullied all game by the Motherwell centre forward.
Watching the Hearts match , and what a pi55 poor decision for Hearts pen. The player had no idea where the ball was . The sooner the gutless authorities declare that it MUST be a DELIBERATE attempt to handle the ball and not an accidental touch, say, from a ball being kicked at point blank range then stuff like this is going to spoil the game.
I am saying this from the view that i dislike equally both the Glasgow teams.
It was a bad decision.

We still created chances but dessers fluffed everything he was given, I wouldn’t single him out though as the whole team was pretty rotten.What looked like a terrible weekend has turned round though, we’ve had a stumble that will hopefully refocus a few of our players and it’s not actually cost us, another round of games done so less opportunity for Celtic to claw back.
It’s really going to come down to the old firms
