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

[Texas ranger]

Training game for Celtic in our biggest game of the season. Just about sums us up.

 

[No Hiding Place]

Spud from trainspotting

What a crawling bastard.

 

[Porrohman]

death by a thousand cuts here
this is really painful viewing

 

[Deco1978]

Softest penalty of the season award goes to….

 

[Pioneer]

We need to go for this. No difference to losing 5-1 or 2-1 at this stage.

 

[wgodfrey]

I hope we’re out after the game demanding an investigation in to that penalty. Couldn’t wait to give it

Penalties to them and red cards to us seem to just be a staple part of any OF game now, sadly.

You just know what's coming when they go to the VAR screen.

 

[Fuzzy Dunlop]

Our team is full of gutless losers and I’m tired of having to point this out time and time again.

I think today is on the manager so far.

 

[Helstead]

The players look lost as if they are just hanging in there.

 

[Dado_Prso_9]

Get cantwell on

He’s well and truly bombed out.
Raskin and Yilmaz incoming.

 

[TCWNS1872]

Take Diomande off.

 

[ForeverBlue1972]

I know it’s 10 v 12 but Vickers. Is playing 25yards from our goal

 

[MaxMK]

The manager is having a howler today

 

[Gameboy]

McAusland for Souttar is ridiculous

Why’s that? Souttar was woeful, only Lundstram’s absolute chucking it has covered up the fact.

We need the ability to get out from deep and McAusland will hopefully offer that .

 

[Ibroxdoug]

Having seen the slow mo why was a penalty given clear as day oriely initiated contact and went down like Tom Daily

 

[Cooper 11]

It’s going to be a case of how many isn’t it

 

[imager]

Yes. After the clip on the ankle

what fu.cking clip, the Tim put his foot into Dios leg.

 

[Albus]

Souttar NOT injured.

He's just not very good, but so are many others today.

 

[FMTLoyal]

2 defensive players…

 

[Big Negri]

This midfield is a real problem. We are showing nothing whatsoever here. Diamonde is covering zero now

Tactics are the real problem here

 

[Artful Dodger]

If that was a tactical substitution it's not working.

Can you tell what the tactic was? I’ve no fu*king clue what he was trying to do. We are 15 minutes into the second half and has Mcausland touched the ball?

 

[_BlueNose_]

The manager is having a howler today

today

last few weeks

 

[GourockBlue50]

In FF parlance, Larsson “does not look a well man”

The bad aids.

BBC love a red cord

Allo, allo

 

[Stevie13000]

Get Lawrence off , been a passenger all game.

 

[Vader]

The decision against Diomande there is the complete opposite of what we had goals cut off for Dessers and Morelos apparently 'fouling'.

 

[GazzaLegend]

2-1 down, 10 men, penalty saved and we still have midfield players standing still, no press as the ball gets passed around them or the player runs away from them.

We don’t have the heart for this.

 

[Scenester87]

Yilmaz coming on. To all the posters saying he "wasn't fit" he should have started if he's getting half hour here

 

[Barnster Bear]

So Collum doesn't see the other penalty to us when on VAR, but sees this?

Call him out again Rangers

 

[Dedé Arneaux]

We need to get one of them sent off to have any chance

 

[steve84]

So who plays instead of him? Not defending him necessarily but what would be your team?

Again, I don’t think it’s a great choice but in this game He Himself blew it. If he is picked a leader don’t play like that! I’d personally have dropped him months ago and tried Raskin and Sterling and changed the front 3. Can’t keep saying no other option so play someone because he is the only option when he has been appalling

 

[nobody]

Shocking that penalty was given

Was a yello for diving at most I'm sick of this country

 

[andyb1776]

Bringing on a holding midfielder and the smallest player in the squad. Not sure what the tactics are here.
Another red card coming up for Raskin I fear, he's a bit of a hot head and loose cannon last couple games he's been on as sub.

 

[Macdonsj]

Lawrence is standing on our D watching them get acres of space

 

[Bluejim]

We are offering nothing here, it’s difficult but it is possible to compete 11v10

 

[Coza]

At some point we need to get in their faces and engage. Our best chance it to lure one of their players into a red to even it up. We need to get physical and carry a threat.

 

[FMTLoyal]

I’m away for a dog walk… hopefully we come back!

 

[sofa_kineazy]

Yilmaz coming on soon. Thank baby Jesus

 

[LJ50]

Look how easy it is for the to pass to a man in space. Was bad enough with 11, but it’s embarrassing now.

 

[Kingwoody]

Why’s that? Souttar was woeful, only Lundstram’s absolute chucking it has covered up the fact.

We need the ability to get out from deep and McAusland will hopefully offer that .

surely thats Cantwell?

McAusland is a prospect but he is not ready to change the course of a game like this

 

[The Doctor]

This last 40 minutes is going to feel like a week

 

[Ardoyne RSC]

The Japanese bastard handled it, and play allowed to continue

 

[Avalonpark]

No wonder big jack looked exasperated, they are getting free shots all the time

 

[Kentbear]

Getting fvckin toyed with again.

 

[mustn’t grumble]

We are offering nothing here, it’s difficult but it is possible to compete 11v10

*12v10

 

[Lerwickstan]

There's no way we can go another half hour without conceding. They're just lining up for pot-shots.

 

[Dado_Prso_9]

The Cinch suits are sweating here, they’ve paid good money to ensure we don’t lift that trophy without their name on show.

If I hear “handball check” one more time.

 

[PaulieGualtieri]

The space they’ve had all game to get shots off around the box is frightening

 

[Marlo Stanfield]

This is shooty in vs 12

 

[Blueranger1872]

SuperJack

That’s the type of thing that could galvinise you if you weren’t down to 10

 

[King Albertz]

We can't even touch the ball

 

[Big Negri]

10 men or not we can’t even do the basics here
