Match Thread Celtic v Rangers - 12:30 Saturday - Sky Sports

[BigMac]

Style of play never changes under clement, so easy to predict and play against. Stupid from Lundstram.

 

[Jock Newington]

Well done John, give Willie Biter any excuse to get the red out, now f@ck off to Turkey on the next plane

 

[servicepoint]

Hopefully the Turks take a look at that and tell him to GTF

 

[Kaba]

Forgetting about the losers and shitebags in the team for a minute, our tactics are fucking honking.

Punting long balls and hoping to feed off scraps.

Losing patience with Clement.

He’s restricted in what he can do when he’s having to play a right back and a striker on the wings because Beale thought it would be good to start the season without any

 

[rfc4ever]

Celtic have had a game-changing, dubious VAR decision in every Old Firm game this season.

It’s red all day long there is nothing dubious about it, if it were against our player we’d be screaming for it

 

[InTheBoax]

The chance was there today if we keep it at 11 men but it'll be a miracle of epic proportions for us to win the league now. Lundstram has sold us with some crazy moments. Sickening.

 

[QueensferryCR3Bear]

From the offset we were never getting anything from Collum. He set off giving us nothing and there was always going to be a sending off. Worst ref in scottish football.

He's a cheat.

Hundreds of Bears online calling out this RC RE Teacher every time he picks up his whistle.

Its time referees were forced to declare football allegiances and their religion.

 

[Portadown_Bear]

Will be his last game IMO.

He will play in the Cup Final - guaranteed.

Who else do we have?

 

[nobody]

Never a red he attacks the ball not the player (who we all know is a protected species) puts his ankle in the way. I admire lunny actually flying at these cnts.

 

[Del]

Lundstram is the one who should %^*& off. Stupid lunge. Red card all day long. How Kenny Miller says otherwise I have no idea.

Had he been wearing green n white do you think they would have had the balls to call that?

 

[Private_joker]

Shame Johnston got up from it.
Lundstram is a fool.

 

[csn1970]

Lundstram has been a liability today, ball watching for first goal, the o.g. and then the stupidity of the tackle. His form has been poor for a number of weeks and hope we don’t see him again.

 

[PefkiBlue]

The way Lundstrum has been playing recently he shouldnt even have been starting, that was an absoloute joke of 45mins from him.

 

[parhumbug]

BBC love a red cord

 

[Dbbear]

I know there is not much options but for any manager to watch the OF games the last 3 years and think you’ll win a game when you have Tav, Barisic and Lundstram playing same in every game at PH has to be questioned. 2 of them better be off and I’d take any good money offer to lose the other. This is just the same crap we’ve seen year on year now. Stand off, watch them play, crap it at everything and make decisions that just make it easy for them and takes the pressure off.

Well done you spineless gutless cowards who will have us now having to listen to I told you I’d have fun and see you in may!

 

[Rangers_2001]

A stupid, stupid challenge. As if Collum needs ANY encouragement at Parkhead.

Collum didn’t give it.

 

[Big D]

Fukn ridiculous OG from Lundstram, followed by flying into a fukn ridiculous challenge. Good luck wherever he ends up, but I never want to see him in a Rangers jersey again.

 

[Ally Dawson]

If we dont bolster the midfield we will get hammered here. Lawrence off Raskin on, move Sterling into midfield as well and play Silva in the 10 .

 

[Todd The Prod]

A lot of this is on the manager I’m afraid

Silva hopeless yet still gets picked - misses 2 massive chances at 0-0

Lundstram hopeless for weeks - first goal casually jogs as O’Riley runs in front of him for the goal. The OG even worse and then completely sells the jerseys with the red card

He better be out the door and shouldn’t kick another ball for us again

Silva is a shocking football player.

His lack of defensive awareness, or it’s just sheer laziness, is astonishing.

 

[GreigC]

But would a Celtc player get red? That's a different point.

Well no...

But that probably boils down to the fact they're not braindead enough to go racing in like that...

 

[GF1]

Lundstram out!

Absolute lady's front bottom of a player. I'll pack his bags for Turkey

 

[Blueranger1872]

One of the most disgraceful performances from a Rangers player in an OF. Bordering on hatred for him.

Arguably would be 1-1 if not for him

 

[Bluepixie]

Bags I drive Lundstrum to the airport this evening. A plodding carthorse who can go and stay gone.

 

[Southpaws]

It’s a red, but I doubt McClean would have asked Collum to re referee if that was McGregor on Tav…they seem to be immune to such decisions. Lundstrum decision making has been brutal and that was another example of his paucity of thought.

 

[Braesbear]

Collum must be blind. Desserts is continuously manhandled by Scales with arms wrapped around him

 

[Macdonsj]

Where was the furore when the Motherwell player was twice as high and late on McCausland and we didnt even get a foul

 

[PT98]

Same old story. Wait til we're 2 nil down then start playing.

 

[Damask_Rose]

Last time when Balogun got sent off we weirdly started to play better.

Not sure what Clement does here. Maybe Sterling into central midfield and McCausland wide right.

 

[CarrickRanger]

Game off, %^*& this, we were never going to be allowed to win anyway.

Hopeful now of a summer clearout of these "usual suspects" and begin again

 

[Ubik]

Every decision goes their way

 

[Recoba]

Lundstram is an absolute moron, his own goal wasn't enough for him he wanted to throw in a red card aswell.

There are no words left anymore.

 

[GersFanHutch]

Survived the initial onslaught through luck then stopped tracking runners. Our left hand side is a defensive shambles. Silva letting his man run every time.

2nd goal we just stopped. Tav allows Maeda an uncontested run and cross.

Before the game I advocated trying to keep position and not press too hard as our press is really poor. Turns out our defensive shape is awful aswell.

 

[Galstonian Oranje]

Imagine the days of Butcher or Gough as Captain and you've just done that before half time. You would be absolutely shitting yourself when they walked into the dressing room.

Today? It will likely be pats on the back, hard lines and all that.

 

[Porrohman]

playing Sterling on the wing was a ridiculous decision
evry man and his dug knew this apart from our manager, he has been totally non effective and thats on Clement

 

[ForeverBlue1972]

He’s absolutely done and doesn’t even have a bit of fight in him.

He crossed for the goal but it wasn’t a great cross another floated

 

[BlueRidgeBear]

Didn’t even need to make the tackle either. Absolute idiocy

 

[Mdiz]

Never been as angry, even though I was resigned to a loss before we went in.

We absolutely need to get rid of a chunk of this squad. It's a mentality thing. As evidenced by the fact that we AGAIN only start playing when the game has gone.

When i saw lundstram pointing and blaming at somebody (Tav, I'm guessing) for the OG, I knew this was gonna happen.

We've collapsed and crumbled again. So predictable.

 

[Buccaneers Bear]

Same players doing the same things as they have under every manager they played under and yet again it's all the managers fault according to some.

 

[Dado_Prso_9]

Wasn’t Bernardo high on Goldson at the Ibrox game and didn’t even get a booking, never mind a VAR check?

 

[Cooper's left peg]

Towing a caravan, fucks up at their first goal, ridiculous OG and an idiotic tackle to get out of the fire.

 

[Skoosh1872]

Absolutely no need for that tackle from Lundstram either, what the %^*& was he thinking.

I’ve been at fault for two goals - why not go for the Hat-trick?

 

[Mal3]

Red for me however if McGregor done that to one of our players he’d get away with a yellow 100%

 

[Trafalgar]

But would a Celtc player get red? That's a different point.

Of course they would

 

[JDC76]

It’s an actual disgrace from JL that, knew fine well what he was doing, chucked the manager right under the bus with that

Yep. One of the supposed Leaders of the group…,

 

[Bouncy]

I mean, great he is off, but would have rather he was subbed. It was hard enough with 11 on the pitch.

him and Lawrence are like having men down anyway, at least Borna has an assist, the other two are only assisting the opposition

 

[The Little General]

Lawrence and Lundstram have been a disgrace.

 

[YorkshireBlue]

If that’s on one of our players and that isn’t given as a red then I’d be raging

It happens every week to our players.

I do agree Lundstram shouldn't make the challenge. He has cost us the title.

 

[CaptainCourageous]

2-0 down in 3 of the Old Firm games under Clement.

He just doesn’t leave learn.

 

[Laudrups Barnet 55]

If we give that scouse prick a new deal and he remains as one of the big earners and “leaders” of the squad it’ll be the first notch against Phil’s name.

 

[ForKingAndCountry]

Collum couldnt wait to get that red card out, couldnt get it out quick enough, lundstram catches him on the ankle, studs up, dont think theres malicious intentint that, johnston isnt badly hurt, and collum saw that incident in real time deemed it was a booking, should move on, no need to pull it bad and check it, gurantee if it was against us it would remain a yellow
