Match Thread Rangers v Celtic - 12:00 Sunday - Sky Sports

[Coda]

It didn’t make a difference to the result as we were that bad, but Bobby Madden is a fucking cheat.

 

[Tony75tfc]

If Gerrard thinks we dont need another striker or attacking midfielder then hes nuts

 

[Coza]

Their back line is

Red Card Jone


Absolute stupidity

Tho no more than mcGregors earlier

Early in the game that’s a yellow which they call “game management” from the ref but it’s just inconsistency.

BBC Radio Scotland were shocked McGregor didn’t get booked earlier - tells you all you need to know. Yet the ref did nothing. I don’t like madden as he seems the ref who thinks the rules change dependent on the minute.

 

[Inactiviated]

No where near it today at all.

 

[Nathan9719972]

Only McGregor and Davis rangers class, rest are bang average imposters

 

[Clicker]

Two goals scored in the last 360 minutes. Too much fannying about.

 

[MarkieLoyal]

And summit else why the funk did we spunk the money on Helander when we're resonable well served there. That was half Kent's transfer

 

[BackJardine]

We dominated them twice last season by playing the system we normally do. He completely abandoned it so he could play Aribo out left and kept our best striker on the bench until the 60th minute. That was a Murty performance from Gerrard today

He said it was because of Thursday. Would you rather Morelos play 90 and get injured? Its not like we were putting John Daly in instead. But he did get the first half tactics wrong.

 

[Johnoblue]

Far too much big talk on here. I hope the players never read any of it.

I'd call them clowns

 

[Jase]

So much wrong with that performance from the manager right down to the last man. Don't know where to start really. Sad Bear here.

 

[MCMLXXXI]

We were so poor today it’s untrue.

Thought Davis had a decent game & McGregor did what he needed to do but apart from that woeful.

 

[Cooperfan]

I await the media's condemnation of that refereeing display for the next fortnight.

 

[Bazoo]

We never deserved anything from that performance

 

[Commentator]

Idiot Jones

No wonder the gaffer is shaking his head

Don’t think Gerrard has the right to slag anyone today, that was pathetic.

 

[Danger Mouse]

Well that was shite.

 

[monkey magic]

It looks like the fear factor of that mob is back. We shat it today, no other words for it. The psychological damage of this one defeat could be more than costly.

 

[daviemc1872]

its a massive reality check , we need to keep beating the rest and make sure we're in with a chance at the next old firm but stevie needs to take blame today and ive not said that often enough

 

[Chastu]

Far too much big talk on here. I hope the players never read any of it.

god i hated all that crap the idiots who nothing about football said on here, they are still better than us showed it today, maybe if we had an attacking force we could do something terrible management

 

[Deleted by own request member]

No balance in the team. You need natural wingers to play that formation.

 

[KingBazza6]

Jacks been poor.

Better than Arfield,

There is only one person to blame for this shambles and its the gaffer and his team selection end of

He has to take a large portion of the blame today but none of the players looked at it. The filth looked quicker, fitter and stronger all over the park.

 

[El Buffalo]

Toothless up front. Back to the drawing board.

 

[Superrangers]

A red card for that? Go and fuuck yourself Madden. Time for Rangers to get the gloves off and defend ourselves. That bast@rd should never be allowed to referee a game at this level ever again.

Look at the tackle MacGregor for a talking to for?! Fuuck off. And Brown trying to antagonise Morelos?! He should have been booked for ungentlemanly conduct.

no booking for a late challenge or a dive... we were awful but the ref didnt play by the rules

 

[Truffle Shuffle]

Idiot Jones

No wonder the gaffer is shaking his head

The Gaffer has a cheek shaking his head after his performance today.

 

[WATP_74]

Davis and McGregor were the only ones that turned up.
The formation and selection were crap as well.

 

[Irn-Bru]

Not good enough. Only Davis and McGregor with pass marks for me.

 

[Route 55]

Hope to fukk that was just a bad day at the office coz that was brutal from rangers today.

We cannot afford bad days at the office. I fear it's one bad day too many already.

 

[Xerio97]

And I felt so good after Legia

 

[Moreloslaces]

I'd like to know the thinking behind the folk with 4-0 as a scoreline. Both our players and manager once again schooled by fucking celtic.

Exactly this. I still think we'll win the league. We just need to wise up!!

We're never winning this league, todays showing shows we are miles behind them.

 

[jexx]

To many players who can't compete when the pressure is on.

 

[Souness]

Wake up call

Need to get Kent. It’s clear Ojo isn’t in the same category

How many times did Ojo run it out of play today? Lost count myself.

 

[Nikon]

That was shambolic, how many times did we pass it out the park, no heart, no fight, just depressing.

 

[Irvinebear]

Really poor today no excuses!!!

 

[Stockport bear]

Aribo and ojo are not good enough. Our team is no better than last year's and actually looks like we're regressing

 

[Jamiegatami]

That’s the worst performance under Gerrard since the semi final against the sheep.

Players were all over the place, passing was poor.

 

[Mr. Bean]

Starting line up was pish but all our big game players were shocking today.
Pass marks to Davis at a push.

 

[crmpicco]

Gerrard fucked this from the start. Another false dawn.

3 points behind already.

Bloody sick of these false dawns. A chance to go top and chink chink the bottle crashes yet again

 

[baza239]

Goldson isn’t the answer I’ve said it for months.

This exactly.thinks he is a better player than he actually is and cost us the first goal.

 

[rodwallace]

The tattie pickers deserved it.

It’s only round 1. 3 more to go this season. Plenty of time for vengeance.

Keep the head bears.

 

[MCMLXXXI]

Been totally outplayed today.

Completely dominated in midfield. No width to our play. Really poor delivery into the opposition box. Very poor defensively. And now lacking in discipline.

No service to Defoe. Aribo and Kamara absolutely invisible

All in all we got what we deserved from that today. Nothing.

SG got it badly wrong with team selection today & needs to hold his hand up to that.

 

[Thesuperger]

Can you and the others please explain to the rest of us what the f*ck Kent would have done today to change the outcome of that game please?

Ffs did you not watch him in the 2 home wins against them last season?

Go watch them two matches that will give you the answer to your question.

 

[Horace goes Skiing]

I await the media's condemnation of that refereeing display for the next fortnight.

Why?
Ref had a very good game.

 

[GallowgateBlue]

Stevie takes the majority of blame for that today. Set up the exact opposite as we should have and didn't even test a makeshift celtic defence. Sickening!

 

[southsidebluenose]

I don't want to hear Gerrard blame anyone but himself for this today. Got it completely wrong, outsmarted by Neil Lennon ffs.

Wasn’t even outsmarted. They played exactly as you’d expect. We lost it by dropping our forwards in favour of more midfielders and a formation which we’ve never played. Absolute lunacy when you consider how we have played in respective games against them last year - when we’ve taken it to them versus when we sat off (like his first OF). Gerrard sold the jerseys today.

 

[paisleybear8811]

Well most of the "panty wetters" predicted this. All our season long naivety sloppiness and poor decision making combined to produce this.

The managers lack of balls to actually go and

Better than Arfield,

He has to take a large portion of the blame today but none of the players looked at it. The filth looked quicker, fitter and stronger all over the park.

All the above you mention can be laid at manager/coaches door.

 

[BackJardine]

Can you and the others please explain to the rest of us what the f*ck Kent would have done today to change the outcome of that game please?

We would have be forced to play with width from the start.

 

[Jjbscotty]

Time to start our 3.5million CB in place of Goldson.

 

[Thesuperger]

Fucking Jonny Hayes, where is the defense.
Goldson should never play again.

Gerrard you cost us this, absolute stupidity.

Baffling team selection and formation

 

[Blue Max]

Sent out completely the wrong signal by starting Defoe ahead of Morelos.

Celtic were hungrier today. They have been closing us down in packs all over the pitch. In contrast, we have been standing off them. Why do we do this? What are we hoping to achieve?

A truly pathetic performance.

That was the main difference today, aside from the wrong team selection. We just did not look up for it, while they pressed us relentlessly and worked much harder than us.

 

[BODiE]

We need someone that can link up midfield and attack Arfield doesnt do it for me, Goldson needs dropped

 

[BlueLagoonCo]

I would rather we had a go at them and lost rather than that defensive pish. So frustrated how we have been so good in Europe just to revert back to cowardice
