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

[QueensferryCR3Bear]

If it was the other way around you’d definitely be looking for a red for the opposition player.

McGregor, Hatate and Maeda commit fouls like that every week. Quite often they arent even free kicks.

 

[sofa_kineazy]

I’ll stick up for the gaffer here. He can only piss with the cock he’s got.

He’s inherited this bunch, and with injuries he’s limited in the 11 he picks that he thinks he can win the game.
Sadly a few of them are serial losers, and I know, you know, we know that.

We need to rebuild and not just try and fix the issue with journeyman panic buys.

 

[Hallers]

He was frustrated at og hence the reckless challenge. Helpful just when we need it! Unbelievable

Absolutely but it's not like he's a young kid, he should be experienced enough to stay on the park.

An absolute disgrace of a tackle tbh

 

[si72]

Lundstram was deserved red card.Absolute stupidity from him and he knows it.

 

[Bristol_bnose3]

I see some of us are back to the comfort of blaming the ref for corruption instead of the reality staring us in the face about the absolutely disgraceful performance from team and manager so far.

 

[LJ50]

As I said earlier, this is a 2015-level performance. They are passing around blue jerseys like they are training cones. Midfield is a shapeless mess that was having zero impact on the game and Dessers was getting zero service.

I fear a very painful second half.

 

[aayjay]

Expected nothing. Got less than nothing. Roll on next season. I'm out.

 

[Alex Hunter]

He will play in the Cup Final - guaranteed.

Who else do we have?

For a brief moment I’d forgotten all about the cup final.

It was quite nice.

 

[nobody]

We all know barasic should have been sold after 55 we'd have made some money,

 

[muttley]

They are utter mince, which makes it even worse, tbh.

We just have a psychological block playing them.

They'll get another when we haven't woken up just after break, and it'll be game over.

It happens again and again.

 

[blueintheface]

I feel for Lundstram.
He simply doesn't have the legs to play against their midfield. I genuinely think the own goal was because he was already too leggy to adjust.

Johnston has been clever, just gets his foot down between Lundstram and the ball and means any challenge coming in will be at least a foul and with VAR, that's always going to be a red.

 

[Mr Wilton]

This will not be popular

But I think Collum has had a decent game so far

Lundstrum gave him no option at the red card

Collum gave him the benefit of the doubt as well with the yellow!

 

[No Hiding Place]

I despise those paedo cheating scum.

 

[GBY74]

Can't believe Lundstrum done that especially after we got ourselves back into the game, absolute madness.

 

[lovenkrands72]

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

He couldn't get card out quick enough, but also gave a yellow initially?

 

[Ron Swanson]

Miller is having a fuxking meltdown on comms. Shut him tf up.

About time we had one of ours showing a bit of an emotion (whether he’s right or wrong).

He’s angry and reacting like I would be.

I’ll take this every day of the week over shite like McCoist kissing Fat Ange’s arse after losing cup finals to him.

 

[parhumbug]

Michael Stewart is a clone of something .

 

[Geo1977]

Surely he puts Sterling in midfield for the second half?

 

[NeillyGibson]

Our defending is laughable. A team full of diddies.

 

[Cooper's left peg]

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

He just doesn’t leave learn.

Yep.

Many of us predicted this.

For me there have been red flags on Clement for quite a while.

 

[Galstonian Oranje]

I actually blame Silva for not tracking at the first

Lawrence was too slow, his man got passed him. The he allowed the ball in. O'Riley then ran off Borna to shoot

 

[RH_2020]

John Lundstram ladies and gents. He's absolutely called it in since he discovered he wasn't staying at us, prancing around not a care in the world with his little hop skip and jump, barely getting out of a jog, nowhere near his man at a goal, own goal then that absolutely ridiculous sending off to top it off.

From a player at one time I liked, I'm growing a strong dislike for him. Now I understand Sheffield United fans opinion on him and how he called it in for them and they were happy he left.

The worrying thing is there is apparently a deal on the table, he will end up reluctantly signing when he sees nobody else wants him and we will be stuck with him for 4 more years (Goldson over again)

 

[GeeSpot]

This will not be popular

But I think Collum has had a decent game so far

Lundstrum gave him no option at the red card

Hope you get a ban for this tbh.

He's let them away with murder all game.

The red decision he didn't even get right first time, he had to have VAR correct him.

 

[Melanchthon]

How the fnck is James McFadden neutral by the way?

 

[Davie Weir]

Who should have played there?

Sterling, Diomande and Lundstram.

Although, in hindsight, anyone but Lundstram.

 

[Hoojar McKinney]

I feel sorry for younger supporters who have only ever experienced this current crop. We're unrecognisable from the team I grew up supporting.

 

[SDF]

BTW, it'll get lost in all this but anyone who doesn't have concerns about how Phil sets up and approaches OF games is a better person than me.

This isn't a get him out or sack him or anything like that so we can park that but he's left us wide open in the middle of the park and outnumbered yet again.

What is he seeing that we're not ?

 

[devilman]

Everyone writing us off in here needs a good shake. Aye we're down to 10 men, aye we're down a goal. It was always going to be a tough game but let's get behind the fkn team. We need 1 monumental half here to potentially win the league.

We're getting nothing from these losers.

 

[TheSpaceCowboy]

Going to have to be some second half to get anything out of this
We don't seem to have the talent or the fight.

 

[JamesyMRR]

Weak. Simple as that.

 

[noucamp72]

2-1 down and a man short with a long 45 mins to go.

It's now damage limitation.

 

[butch70]

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.

And every manager keeps playing them it’s absolutely horrendous management we can all see the frailties but managers cannot see what we see

 

[BlueRidgeBear]

The own goal is even worse the more you see it. He has time to think about it ffs!

 

[Big Hepy]

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.

The "leadership team" can all gtf

 

[Blue-Knows]

Do you honestly believe that either were intentional

Lazy for the 1st goal, a disgrace for the own goal and loses the head for the red card trying to make up for it. Might not be intentional but entirely his own doing.

 

[crockle creek dingos]

Lundstram should never pull on a Rangers strip again - that's what happens when you just don't give a flying %^*& and that could not have been clearer.

Clement even playing him was a mistake and shows weak as %^*& management,

Couldn’t agree more

 

[mathers1]

At fault for the first goal ball watching

Scores the OG

Then ruins any chance we had of coming back with the red.

Don’t think I’ve ever seen a worse 45 mins from a Rangers player in this fixture.

Anyone defending him is an utter fantasist.

 

[Porrohman]

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.

he can leave at half time and take barisic with him to the airport for turkey

 

[Texas ranger]

Trabzonspor have got no idea what’s about to hit them, with any luck. We’ll be a better squad next season without adding anyone if those two go.

 

[NeilFifeLoyal]

We are so far behind them it’s unreal that goal was coming he’s had umpteen chances and the space they’ve had from outside the box is comical. I think we need to come to the realisation that they kunts after winning this title will go all out to keep winning titles and go for the you know what. They are that far in front of us.

 

[BlueSpruce]

We need to now change it up to being ultra, ultra defensive here.

We cannot afford to bring on passengers, a man down and now we need an extra man in the middle.

Lawrence off Raskin on, move Sterling into the middle and just have Silva and a central outlet. We need to go narrow and just defend defend defend.

Defend a 2-1 to our opponents?

 

[BobbyShearer]

An own goal, a red card, a pathetic 5 yard pass to the opposition in a good attacking area, standing off the man putting the ball on for the second goal.

That’s our ‘leadership group’.

It’s pathetic.

It was said after the last game, that leaders lead when it is required; not turning it on and looking good at easy and simple times.

Lundstram had a good game last week.
Against Kilmarnock. With 10 men.
No doubt went up the road pleased with himself as one of the leaders.

The manager of this club will get fucking nowhere relying on these players to lead by example and dig in when the going gets tough.

When the going gets tough this lot lose the plot in a way I can’t remember from any other team.

 

[Scenester87]

Didn’t have many other options did he?

Why is Cantwell not playing? Why is he not going man for man with their 3 in midfield when we have seen so many time how easy it is for them to walk through our "midfield". That's on him

 

[Snoopproddiedogg]

Get McCausland on, Sterling into the middle, Lawrence off.

So frustrating how poorly we give the ball away and seem to give them so much space, McGregor leaving Lawrence in his trail a few times.

 

[deBoersHeader]

A team filled with frauds and cowards crumbling at the chamber of secrets once again.

How very predictable from them.

Crazy we stuck one of them in the Hall of Fame.

 

[Applebear19762022]

f##king cretin

 

[Albus]

Who was Lundstram pointing the finger of blame at after his own goal?

He was at fault for the first too, probably blaming Souttar or someone for his sending off too.

Willie Collum cheats us.
We complain.
Willie Collum gets OF game again
Willie Collum cheats again

When/how will this cycle be ended?

Clear red card.

 

[Ally]

That's my take. He wanted off.

Is this place not full of ‘somebody do one of them and show them no respect’ before every game?

 

[bluereason]

Just luring the paedos into a false sense of security. Come back on and 3-2 to Rangers with 10 men.

 

[PMB1872]

Maybe he should get it right from kick off the he wouldn't need to

Agreed. Sterling in centre mid was what he should have done. Plain to see for all.
