Doing the Broony.

 

We have entered League Cup final week, both Rangers and Aberdeen each have a Euro' fixture to complete before Sunday at Hampden. The Dandies are at home to Eintracht Frankfurt with a 17.45 hrs kick off. Rangers travel to Seville to face Real Betis with a 20.00 hrs start time. Thus, the Dons will be loused and ready for bed by the time we endure a couple of hours hard graft folllow followed by a four plus hour flight back to Glasgow. Friday will be a right off and Saturday will be a walk around Auchenhowie before a loosening game of fives. Raising the Scottish coefficient alone is arduous.

 

Of course, neither the broadcast or the print media mention this because Scotland's other two representatives in Euro' football are facing ,'Dead Rubbers'. The PQ Gang Hut have already chorused, "Barry can field any side he wants" or in other words, 'fcuk the coefficient'. Such a dearly held principle during Pedro's tenure too? There is a continuing preparation for the final and it is the constant reminder on Rangers and penalties. If only opposition defenders would refrain from grasping and holding Rangers players jerseys in the penalty box.

 

Today, it is Scott Brown's turn not to have an original thought. He has been reminded Rangers have not conceded a penalty since he retired. The Lego chewer concludes, "Aberdeen have no chance of a penalty on Sunday". Anesthetised by the taste of Danish plastic, Scott conveniently forgets ie no one told him, that Rangers have had two penalties awarded against them in this year's League Cup. Surely, that is more relevant and how many have Aberdeen conceded in this season's competition?

 

There are only five sleeps to go, let us hope Referee, Don Robertson gets the message. It is not for want of trying.

I would be thrilled with a 1-0 win over Aberdeen.

 

Just get it over the line. 

 

There always seems to be that one team in the league that has out number each year. 

 

Aberdeen seem to be that one this year.

Bias, conspiracy theory or nonsense? Behind the ‘penalty to Rangers’ debate (msn.com)

This nonsense is as old as the hills. Rangers spend more time in the opposition penalty box than any other team bar one, so it follows they’ll get more penalties.

Opponents with one exception spend less time in Rangers box so fewer events that could lead to an award occur. Add to that the fact that Rangers defenders aren’t renowned for their tiger tackling so forget conspiracy, look at reality.

“I couldn’t really see what happened,” said Dundee’s on-loan forward Amadou Bakayoko. “I didn’t really get a good look at it. But they always manage to get penalties, don’t they? It’s one of the things that happens there.”

 

Bit naughty that.

Here's hoping we get two penalties on Sunday and score from both.

I hope the dressing room is having a good laugh at this ridiculously predictable bollocks

The stench of fear has suddenly started billowing from the east.
