boabie 230 Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Reading back on that article; it's unreal that that actually went on! I posted the wrong article mate. The one I meant to refer to was where he outright stated that Dunfermline had laid down to Rangers, "exactly as we knew they would." 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

craig 5,199 Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Muttons comments about Gordon Marshall should have seen him held up to so much ridicule he'd have been embarrassed to show his ugly mug on telly. The man is a buffoon of the first order. ---- FOOTBALL: YOU MIGHT HAVE LOST MORE GOALS MATE; Ex-Celt's fury at scoring jibes. Byline: HUGH KEEVINS and COLIN DUNCAN EXCLUSIVE FURIOUS Celtic players accused Gordon Marshall of being a turncoat after they lost the title at Kilmarnock on Sunday. Marshall, a former Celt, was slammed at Rugby Park for not helping his old club leapfrog the goals advantage enjoyed by Rangers. He was reminded of his background and criticised for not letting it influence his performance as Celtic scored four goals but couldn't get enough to win the league flag. Sports Record also understands that Kilmarnock and Celtic were at loggerheads in the build-up to the match after the Parkhead side demanded extra ball boys. Martin O'Neill's side wanted to ensure the ball was in play as much as possible to help their goal chase but Killie turned down their request. They then received an anonymous letter accusing them of pandering to Rangers. The revelations follow Celtic striker Chris Sutton's bitter outburst on Sunday when he accused Dunfermline of lying down to Alex McLeish's men in the 6-1 defeat which took the title to Ibrox. Last night Marshall, who was having his last game for the club and was made Kilmarnock's captain for the day, refused to go into specific details of what went on as players clashed in full view of startled match officials and onlookers. But he confirmed he had deep regrets over the undignified end to his Rugby Park career. Marshall said: "There are some Celtic players who I have no sympathy for. I was annoyed and outraged by some of the stuff that went on. "I don't know what the Celtic players were hoping for and I will take whatever was said about my performance as a back- handed compliment. "I was Kilmarnock's captain and I wanted to keep a clean sheet if possible. I knew I wouldn't get a pat on the back whatever happened during the game but whatever was said about me is water off a duck's back. "My emotions still haven't settled down and I don't expect to get back to normal for a few days yet. But I am very disappointed with the attitude shown to me by certain players." Marshall said some players blasted him for allegedly wasting time when he was adjudged to have brought down Alan Thompson for a penalty kick. The keeper had earlier been booked for protesting over the penalty decision involving Sutton and left the field to jeering from the Celtic fans. But he said: "I wasn't aware of the jeering because I was applauding the Kilmarnock fans as I was leaving them for the last time." The row over the ball boys has also cast a shadow over the incredible end of the season. Celtic asked Killie for more but the Ayrshire club insisted in employing the same number they have used all season. Killie then told Celtic to get lost when they threatened to bring their own ball boys with them to Rugby Park. The day after the row Kilmarnock received an anonymous letter accusing them of lying down and pandering to the needs of Rangers. The correspondence also pointed out in no uncertain terms that Celtic would make Jim Jefferies' side pay by wiping the floor with them on Sunday. Jefferies pinned the letter up in the dressing room to help fire up his players for their final league game of the campaign. Last night a Kilmarnock source said: "At the start of the week Celtic requested that we put on extra ball boys and have balls placed around the pitch because Rangers were doing something similar at Ibrox. "We told them we had enough and didn't need any more but Celtic then wanted to bring their own ball boys down with them. "We told them they could do that if they wanted although we made it clear there was no way they would be getting anywhere near the pitch. "I don't think their manager was too happy, however this was our home game, not theirs." Also for a guy who made a career out of diving for free kicks and penalties it really tickles me when he goes on about players going down easily. Wow, I was unaware of most of that, aside from the Gordon Marshall stuff. The depths that lot will stoop to is limitless. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
the gunslinger 3,366 Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 (edited) Marshall was a rangers fan and won us about 6 titles. 1 at killie. 1 at motherwell and at least 4 at celtc. Edited October 19, 2016 by the gunslinger 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFK-1 1,691 Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 And Kenny Dalglish was a Rangers fan but not sure how many titles he won us. They never lose anything fair and square. Everything is a conspiracy. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything is a conspiracy. That's the nub of the matter mate - Rangers, Kilmarnock and Dunfermline all conspired to make sure the mankies didn't win the league. The SFA, SPL and referees come as standard so there's no need to count them. In over 60 years I've never heard of that mob being beat fair and square. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
StuGers 477 Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 I see Brown is now commenting on his joy at Barton's demise and calling him a loudmouth. Is that not ironic considering he is in the paper lauding the demise of a fellow pro? Was it not Brown who was castigating another player for supposedly diving? Is that not classed as being a "loudmouth"? Brown always seems to be in the paper spouting off. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ian1964 10,596 Posted October 21, 2016 Author Share Posted October 21, 2016 Barton asked for that from Brown. Correct, if you talk the talk you need to walk the walk. Having said that why Broon should even want to talk about any Rangers player is a joke! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
der Berliner 3,471 Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 When did we last see a Rangers captain lying on the street drunk? For all the hype and hysteria about Barton's outspokeness, Brown should keep his mouth shut as he is an embarrassment for himself, his club and his country. Well, strike club off that list. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
