You're right bilko. The only one who was showing any studs was Prince Charles's love child. The only one who didn't get the ball was Prince Charles's love child. The only one who touched the opposing player was Prince Charles's love child.

need to forget referees and accept that we are really not that goood. Reverse the circumstances with the huns going for the title at Celtic Park and we would have capitulated also. We do not do "big" games

All 3 were blatant reds.

End of.

Lennon never does himself any favours. Sure there were some poor decisions but to try and make out Celtic were robbed is garbage. The team were poor on the day and Rangers were deserved winners. I don't know why he can't just accept that and move on. I think he's still hurting about losing the league cup and a chance at the treble. Like most managers (and I'm struggling to think of any that can be excluded), he is a bad loser but his trouble is he can't hide it like others.

He needs to look at the bigger picture and be satisfied that his team have strolled to a league title and will be big odds on to win it next season.

Wonder what the Blessed One will be given for "manhandling" Bouggie's bestest buddy? If I remember correctly Boughera & Diouff were fined around £750 each (2 hour's wages?) following Murray's testimony that he did not feel intimidated (making them both available for the title run). On that basis the Blessed One could be looking at a 2s/6d fine but wait, maybe Calum was more intimidated this time because the Blessed Neil is an Irish Catholic.

The funny thing here is they also blamed the ref when they lost the cup final last week

Not sure we watched the same game then.  Celtic created absolutely nothing with 10.  They only woke up with 3 minutes left when rangers took their foot off the gas.

The difference was he was a gentleman and had a brain.


What's that?

Oh yes, it's the sound of a nail being hit smack, bang on the head.

yes if they deserved it

Feck, they were poor. I've watched them play much better in previous OF games (inc games they lost). They should be taking 4 or 5 off that mob but they looked as if they just expected to win. It's possible they underestimated Rangers (fooled by their recent results) and that is criminal.

but would the runaway winners of any other league have a decent penalty shout go against them when 0-1 down in a cup final against comparative minnows...

and then have 2 men sent off and their manager banished to the bowels of the stadium in the very next match?




Real Madrid had Mourinho and 2 men sent off last week. Sh*t happens, as if it's a conspiracy.

i'm not suggesting they should get every decision, far from it. But posters like Feck N. Eejit observe scottish football closer than i do

i believe it is genuine when they suggest celtic have on the whole been hard done by in the last two games

As a neutral to the game, the refereeing looked very off yet again on RANGERS side. The elbow into the back of Samaras head would have been a red card to a Celtic player if foul had been other way round. Why was the match stopped while ball was in play 10 seconds before injury time was up and after a goal was scored in injury time ? Like last year the police got involved in the game to warn Celtic of trouble that would be caused if Celtic win game. Lennon was sent off even though witnesses say he rightfully questioned referee in a dignified manner. In the cup final the referee still has not answered why no penalty for an obvious stonewall penalty as they come in last minute. It cost people a lot of money. Yesterdays game was a farce and many of them have been in recent years. Lennon has every right to be angry. That referee is truly an odious man. There is no doubt that decisions were made to aid Rangers to avoid there fans causing trouble and damage that would cost a lot of money. Ramgers fans have undoubtedly got that reputation and as a neutral to SPL it would benefit the whole of the game if they just went away altogether as they are just a corrupt club right the way through. Cheaters should never be allowed to win and again yesterday proved something very ugly about life. Any criticism Lennons way is wrong and quite frankly stupid, he should be angry and everybody else should be angry at cheating refs and institutions propping up bank balances of corrupt clubs and game flixers that riddle the once great game.

I stopped reading after this.

So many people use hypothetical situations as fact when trying to put their point across - it's absurd.

Ireland 1 Spain 0

WOW  We need more neutrals like you.

I wonder will you have these views when you grow up into adults.

Players were denied a goalscoring opportunities for the first and hir reds).  I don't care what the pundits agreed or not.  It's the laws of the game.

But Stokes wasn't last week?
