Whoever plays they will be trying their best to impress as winning breeds winners and they will all want in on the action,hopefully

I wonder how a foreign referee would have dealt with the incidents on your list Craig??

The BHEASTS are the ones who are GREETING the most about the Refs as '' it's all their fault that we canny win anything '', feckin CRETINS that they are,if you don't like our Refs, why don't you go home??

Another tough fixture, but I'll go for the Champions machine to keep on rolling. The Champions 2 Weiss & Edu Killie 0 :spl:

Frankie,I think I'd go with your team,but I'd have Foster @ RB and maybe leave Lafferty out and play Little up with Beattie

Walter Smith insists the team cruelly branded one of the worst in Rangers' history have proved themselves to be one of the BEST. Gers gaffer Smith piled the praise on his Treble-chasing stars ahead of tonight's Co-op Cup quarter-final clash at Kilmarnock. After Sunday's storming Old Firm win over Celtic, the cup holders remain unbeaten in their best start to a season in 89 YEARS. Not bad for a bunch of long-ball bruisers not fit to wear the jersey! Smith said: "People are never happy. "There is a happy medium in every situation, but in our country we never seem to achieve that. "We were rotten and now we've been compared to really successful sides. "But we ARE a successful team and we have a strong group of players. "The challenge is to maintain the good start. "If this team is getting compared with teams of the past then that's fine, I have no problem with that. "I am as proud of this team as I am of any team I've managed in the past. "Particularly because the circumstances are so different. "They have a good work ethic in their play. They all work very hard. "We might not have what people consider to be star players, but we do have good players spread throughout our team. "They have accepted every challenge I've given them. "If everyone is starting to make comparisons, that's a step forward for this team. Because in the past they haven't been regarded as half decent. "The team wants to keep winning. "We have a lot of awkward situations because of the predicament we are in. "If you are setting out to try and win a Treble it would be very difficult for this group to handle all those games and achieve that." Such is their desire and collective will to win that this Gers side NEVER knows when its beaten. In five league games this season they have fallen behind. Five times they have come storming back to win. But the tests just keep on coming in a hectic programme. Smith added: "When teams stay together for a period of time then a spirit is forged. "That's not exclusive to Rangers. "Our group has played together for a number of years and in any walk of life there would be resilience if they have bonded well. "Our group has done that. "We've had the same group for a couple of years and they have got a strong bond. But we're asking an awful lot from the players, I realise that. This next stage, in the run-up to Christmas, will be crucial. "We have quite a number of games before the end of the year so it will be a big test." Smith will make several changes for tonight's clash against Killie. But he expects those who come in to reach the high standards which have been set. He warned: "It's about guarding against complacency. "We've just finished an intense seven days after the games against Valencia and Celtic. "Also, the lads who were away with Scotland played in the Czech Republic and against Spain. "These games are not just tiring in a physical sense, but mentally they are very difficult. "A game against Spain would be a drain on anyone especially given the manner in which they play. "You need high levels of concentration for all these matches. These are big games for all the players. "It helps the teams if they are not losing, but there is always motivation to win. You know you are going to face disappointments in a season - that's a certainty. "We have a decent level of confidence about us, but we have to be extremely careful." Gers will be without injured defender Sasa Papac at Rugby Park tonight, but Andy Webster could get a rare start. Smith added: "Papac will miss the game, but we have a situation where one or two could be doing with a rest. "The international lads, for example, have played a lot of football already this season. "The likes of John Fleck and James Beattie will feature." Read more: http://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/scotsol/homepage/sport/spl/3198108/Ticket-to-pride.html#ixzz13Y9ae9Al

YouTube - Glasgow Rangers Fans After Scoring Against Celtic - 24/10/10

I don't think it is beyond this team to go ubeaten all season,although it is a lot to ask

The BHEASTS will want a replay

By Paul Drury OffIcials at Rangers and Celtic could find themselves in trouble today after thousands of Old Firm fans belted out banned anthems yesterday - within earshot of Uefa President, Michel Platini. Renditions of The Billy Boys by Rangers supporters and chants in support of the IRA by the home fans could land both clubs in the dock. On top of that, a firework was thrown onto the Parkhead pitch following a Rangers goal and 13 people were arres ted for being drunk and disorderly and on breach of the peace charges. Last night, the Scottish Premier League said it would be studying the report of their match delegate before it "takes any action that is appropriate". Before the lunch-time encounter - the first Old Firm clash of the season - Celtic had rolled out the red carpet for Platini the former French international now running the governing body of European football. Both the Uefa and French flags were flown above the North Stand at Celtic Park in honour of their VIP guest. And billboards all around the pitch proclaimed: "Celtic Football Club Welcomes Michel Platini to Paradise." Yet within seconds of kick-off, Rangers supporters sang The Billy Boys which their own chief executive has begged them to bin. They followed that up with "The Famine Song" about the humanitarian disaster in Ireland in the middle of the 19th Century. Celtic fans were also involved in unsavoury chants, with a section known as The Green Brigade invoking a song that proclaims support for the IRA. http://sport.scotsman.com/rangersfc/Old-Firm-fans-chants-could.6596836.jp

I have to disagree,I still think it was a great tackle,his studs were not high and he took the ball cleanly.What's the game coming to when a good hard tackle is deemed a bookable offence!!!!!

I never thought the bbc highlights would have shown the big transvestite knee shagger in the heid,his shocking tackle on Boogie and his shocking kick on Naismith,but shock horror they have,dirty Greek chunt. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/scotland/9122675.stm

WALTER SMITH has told Celtic: Rangers beat you - not the ref. The Ibrox boss insists whistler Willie Collum was put under unfair pressure by the Hoops in the run-up to the Old Firm showdown. And as Celts gaffer Neil Lennon laid into Collum over the penalty that sunk his team, Smith told him to stop bleating about decisions. Lennon stoked up the first Old Firm clash of the season by demanding that Collum get the big calls right. That came days after club chiefs wrote to the SFA over Dougie McDonald's U-turn on awarding them a penalty at Tannadice. Smith said: "We have to have a look at ourselves and stop blaming everything on referees. "We all fall out with them, but you have to look deeper at issues or there's no use playing the game. "All the time I've been involved in Rangers-Celtic games, you have a look back and the best team wins. "A lot of stuff gets exaggerated about these games, from the influence of the ref down, but in my experience it's who plays best that counts. "There was unfair pressure put on the referee here in the build-up. "That's two out of last three Old Firm games when the ref's been placed under that kind of pressure before the start. "There's definitely too much focus on referees and there's no doubt that was the case with Willie Collum. "I thought he handled it well. We'll always argue about decisions, but he did okay." Smith leapt with joy on the trackside as his champs bounced back from Gary Hooper's 45th-minute goal to make it nine league wins on the trot thanks to a Glenn Loovens own goal and a Kenny Miller double. He said: "It was a good afternoon and a good win. "I felt we started very well with a spell where we hit the post and then had a good period for the first 20 minutes of the second half when we got in front. "In between times we had little bits of scrappy play and some signs of tiredness. "In the end, we're delighted to win. "It's very early in the season to be talking about champions. A lot of games have still to be played and a lot of problems lie ahead - we have to come back from Champions League games and that's never easy. But I can't remember in either spell as manager here starting the season with nine wins in a row, so it's nice. "Kenny Miller's first finish was excellent and he put the penalty away well. "You always want to make home advantage count in Old Firm games, so to come away and win is a really good one for us. Away at Celtic Park is always your toughest test. "Celtic have a new team and we weren't quite sure what to expect. "But it's not experience that counts in these games as much as the way you play. "When we started to play well in the second half we threatened their goal more. "After the third goal, it was a matter of seeing it out and we did that well. "We've come back from a goal down five times in these opening nine games and I'm not quite sure what that tells you about the team, apart from that we're prepared to fight back. "I'm not quite sure why we keep going a goal down. "But we've gone to places that are notoriously tough, like Aberdeen, Hearts and now Celtic and won, which is excellent going."

NEIL LENNON rounded on Old Firm ref Willie Collum last night and told him: You got it wrong. Livid Lenny laid into the whistler after Celtic crashed to a 3-1 derby defeat to Rangers. He'd cranked up the heat on 31-year-old Collum on the eve of the crunch clash at Parkhead. And now the Hoops gaffer has demanded answers from the whistler on the decisions he felt turned the game. Lennon fumed: "He has questions to answer. I thought he got the big decisions WRONG. "You have to get the big decisions right and that is another big decision that went against us. I do not know about going public but I will be asking for an explanation from him." Lennon was furious that Collum - making his derby debut - didn't send off Gers ace Lee McCulloch. He was also seething at the second-half penalty award which sealed the win for the SPL champs. He claimed Gers sub Kirk Broadfoot went down "very easily" and Collum didn't even see it. Lennon's latest outburst is sure to deepen the ref feud between the Parkhead club and the SFA. He wrote to Hampden and asked for answers on Dougie McDonald's display at Tannadice last week. Now Lennon's on collision course with Collum after a derby defeat which ended their 100 per cent start to the SPL season. He added: "I thought McCulloch should have gone for the one on Georgios Samaras. "I do not know why he is still on the pitch after a blatant obstruction when we were breaking. "It was a second yellow. That would have put them down to ten men for the second half. "The penalty looks soft to me. If you look at the referee, I don't think he has seen it. "I feel let down on the penalty decision for sure. It is a cruel decision and I am not sure how much he saw of it. "Daniel has tried to pull out of the tackle and Broadfoot has gone over very, very easily. I don't know why he's given it."

Celtic manager Neil Lennon thought referee Willie Collum made two bad mistakes during Rangers' 3-1 derby win. Lennon was aggrieved at the penalty Rangers were awarded for their third goal and thought that Lee McCulloch deserved a first half red card. "He has got a lot of questions to answer," said Lennon, when asked about the performance of Collum. "I have problems with my team but you have to get the big decisions right. I'll be asking for an explanation." Lennon thought that Ibrox midfielder McCulloch, booked early in the game, should have been sent off after impeding Georgios Samaras when the Celtic forward was charging forward, with the game at 0-0. Rangers had recovered from Gary Hooper's opener on the stroke of half time to lead through a Glenn Loovens own goal and Kenny Miller volley when Collum awarded a penalty to the visitors. Rangers substitute Kirk Broadfoot tumbled after the merest connection with Daniel Majstorovic and Miller converted the spot-kick. "I want to know why McCulloch was still on the pitch, it was blatant obstruction when we were breaking," fumed Lennon. "It was a second yellow and they should have been down to 10 men in the second half. "And I feel let down on the penalty incident for sure. It's a big decision. I have seen a replay of the penalty and it looked soft. "I'm not sure he saw it and I'm not sure why he has given it. "There was a long way to go in the game and we were trying to regroup but Daniel pulled out of the tackle and Broadfoot went down very easily. "At 2-1 we were still in the game, at 3-1 it is very difficult for us." Lennon also had a few harsh words for his side, who have now slipped three points behind their fierce rivals in the title race. "We've given the game away," he told BBC Radio Scotland. "The manner of the goals we conceded is the most disappointing thing. Our mentality to see the game out was poor. "And that's from experienced players who should know better. We wanted to keep moving the ball and play in their half. We didn't do any of that." Lennon was forgiving of Loovens' unfortunate own goal but was critical of his side for falling further behind soon after. "I thought it was pretty eachy-peachy in the first half and we were pleased to go in a goal in front," he added. "You can lose a goal from a set-piece, as Rangers did in the first half. That happens in games. "We knew Rangers would come at us and we said if we concede a goal, just stick to what you're doing and be strong mentally. "The second goal was criminal from our point of view. We were comfortable in possession, we've invited pressure on and we've given our goalkeeper kicking practice, which we really didn't need to do. "I thought Ki Sung-Yeung had a really strong game and one or two others but I'll analyse the game later and see who didn't really show up. "The difference is only three points. It's disappointing to lose a home game, it's disappointing to lose an Old Firm game but there's a long way to go in the season and I hope the players learn from this. "We've got to pick the players up and go on another run. We've got a League Cup game on Wednesday and I'll be looking for a big performance." http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/c/celtic/9122412.stm

Our heads went down big time after the third, that's not good enough. Maloney going off early seemed to have far too much of an impact, no one else capable of playing central and getting beyond Hooper. Samaras while frustrating always looked for the ball and didn't stop running, I have to laugh at one poster's match thread comment that he "hides on the wings". Away tae feck.

Member Member #1,273 Joined: 18 June 2005 I would like to point out that a few months ago I was bemoaning the fact that our fans concentrated on the huns financial problems because it wasn't translating onto the field. It's a continual embarrassment to Celtic that we get trounced by a team with much less resources than us, and to dwell over any impending financial doom whenever we were outmuscled by a side with Kenny Miller and Kyle Lafferty as the jewels in their crown. It's been absolutely horrendous being a Celtic fan the past 2 years in all honesty.

Member Member #1,085 Joined: 2 June 2005 An embarassment from start to finish. For some reason Lennon decided that lumping long balls and crosses into one forward against two much bigger defenders would work, idiot. Lennon's record, he may well have 16 or however many league wins in a row, but the four games that mattered under his lead we have lost, Ross County, Braga, Utrecht and now Rangers. The referee was shocking as well, how you can give a penalty when you're covering your eyes is beyond me and McCulloch should have been off after the tackle on Samaras, but we can't expect fairness really. Funny how he gave that one immediately this week when last week we had four beeter shouts that weren't given. The Hooper 'foul' in the box was a joke as well, should have been a penalty to us. The Poacher Today, 3:00 PM Post #95 Member Avatar poppin rocks and cyanide [ * * * * * * * ] Posts: 1,989 Group: Members Member #9,073 Joined: 26 June 2007 Thought Collum was doing ok at the end of the first half - I was bracing myself for the hun to come crashing out in the second with steam coming out their ears. Sure enough. It's a marathon not a sprint etc, and if we get another running sequence going then we'll make up the points as the deficiencies in the hun will become apparent. The hun really are the footballing equivalent of a vulture, didn't see them playing any football but they harrassed well, were sharp and made mostly the right decisions. We could be summed up by Samaras - thought he played out his skin in the first half - although he still (needlessly at times) took the ball for a walk he made the right passes in the right areas. He left his brain in the dressing room at half time. All the high fiving as we went off at half time - I though 'OK done well to get the lead we deserve but we've another half to play, wait till the end for high fiving'. Stone cold sober and still totally riled at the shambling way the hun got their lead. Penalty was a sham, he didn't see, because he didn't have a decent view of the incident of Broadhoof jumping up in the air. Miller and Lafferty are the 2 most ungainly, ugly ungraceful footballers I've ever seen... right up there with the elephant man Davie Dodds. Total banjo playing trash. We'll get back into this and take it to them and their dump. wee_chorley Today, 3:02 PM Post #106 Member Avatar Come On !
