Seen Brendans presser when asked about our Managers situation. Got to say he was 100% correct when saying that "others who have been in the managers shoes not so long ago should be a bit more respectful"
Ferguson, Dodds and McCann have had their shot, with not much success, and aren't slow at giving their opinions on Martin.
19 Sep 2025 19:14:48
Ferguson regularly defends Martin, but why is it so OK for a Celtic manager to have digs at ex Rangers coaches and players but they shouldn't comment on what they experienced?
19 Sep 2025 19:20:10
I agree with that Ferguson talking about who he would have signed sima or Cerny wouldn't have came so he is talking bs and he had his chance and blew it big style - terrible manager.
19 Sep 2025 21:27:27
IMO, Barry will never make it as a manager.
20 Sep 2025 09:41:57
Is Barry trying to position himself for another run at the job on an interim basis when Martin is canned?
20 Sep 2025 10:17:52
And Barry now has a go back because he didn't like the criticism that BR aimed at them. irony anyone.
20 Sep 2025 15:18:15
Barry was spot on to hit back. They are pundits paid to give an opinion and are generally pretty supportive of Martin. Where's his slating of Sutton or Lennon for comments on him. Obviously he's going to praise Martin because he's making his life easy.
20 Sep 2025 15:31:24
Correct, shouldn't have been anywhere near the club.
21 Sep 2025 14:39:47
Kaisercaillaud, well said🍻.
22 Sep 2025 17:46:08
Man oh man, we all have had pops at ex players turned pundits. but since its BR doing it they are now immune. BR was asked a question by the press.
23 Sep 2025 10:03:19
I agree geesa. and it is a ex-manager/ pundit who the fans thought was not fit for the job and tactically inept. yet now those same fans are willing to accept him giving our current manager tactical advice. or is it because it is aimed at Russell Martin?
and actually Lennon, especially and Sutton have both been fairly sensible and even supportive in their comments about Martin.
16 Sep 2025 14:08:44
I have a feeling we are going to beat Hibs on Saturday.
16 Sep 2025 14:40:48
Get yourself on the Calpol and Paracetamol and away to bed as that Fever you have is making you delirious. 🤣
Fingers crossed, Storm. 🤞.
16 Sep 2025 14:48:05
Medic, Medic😉.
16 Sep 2025 17:05:07
I don't know why it's just a weird feeling lads 🤦♂️I did bang my head last night very hard oan the sub 😂.
16 Sep 2025 18:02:52
It def will work one day soon, confidence will build with one or two goals I've no doubt.
16 Sep 2025 21:14:45
If he starts Raskin, with his energy in midfield and we get a tad lucky then I think we could beat Hibs.
16 Sep 2025 21:18:17
You clearly have indigestion or just severe wind Strom
Go have a lie down till the weekend 🤩🤩🤩.
16 Sep 2025 23:13:12
Can't see it, Storm.
17 Sep 2025 08:33:43
Mark I couldn't until u was thinking about it in car after a sauna and I just got a weird feeling we will win 😂 either that or I peed myself.
18 Sep 2025 10:16:28
I don't think we'll win a game between now and the international break.
18 Sep 2025 19:30:43
I'm with you storm.
18 Sep 2025 22:38:59
Did you pee yourself too bb4?
18 Sep 2025 23:58:54
Do you think the wild swimming and hill walking will have made it all click into place 😉 I hope you're right!
16 Sep 2025 11:32:58
Been sent more e-mails trying to get me to purchase VIP packages for Hibs game and Europa.
They are having a laugh.
16 Sep 2025 12:21:56
Why are they having a laugh, it is the sales teams job to do this, are you suggesting they shouldn't and lose their jobs.
16 Sep 2025 13:32:18
Bunnet just unsubscribe mate and you won't get these emails from people doing their job and earn cash to keep our club running.
16 Sep 2025 16:45:42
Fair comment regarding sales team, but once they start serving up decent football l will consider purchasing VIP packages again, that was my somewhat clumsy point l suppose.
16 Sep 2025 17:38:54
Bunnet I got that and your point is valid. you are lucky to be a VIP 😉 I am just a P I know I open myself up here to everyone who wants to call me a name 😜but it might be more interesting than the kicking the manager/ club threads 👍.
16 Sep 2025 20:45:28
I'll bite, pontificating, pedantic, pilloried, prolific, procrastinating poster😉😇🤣🤣 sorry👍.
16 Sep 2025 21:00:43
Fork never need to apologise and actually that wasn't the first 'P' I thought someone would choose and probably wouldn't be able to raise a defence against it and just smile.
dont agree with procrastinating though as I do tend to act too quickly most of the time.
not sure if you will get away with using the word pontification on here either given its roots.
16 Sep 2025 23:20:06
Pretty and perfect.
17 Sep 2025 05:12:46
True Angus, thought you'd get a giggle 😉👍.
17 Sep 2025 08:17:26
Boy do we need one at the moment.
Parlane thanks but I know I am neither of those 😜.
15 Sep 2025 08:31:01
Refs saying it was a bad decision given Celtic that penalty at the end of the game yesterday, which matters not now as picked up they two points.
15 Sep 2025 10:37:19
So they can disallow a goal for Rangers against Celtic due to a previous foul on the half way line. But they can't disallow a goal when it was clearly a killy throw in. I thought these injustices was what var was for and pen was never a pen . Result Killy robbed of 3 points as they where the only club yesterday that scored a perfectly legit goal.
Yes over the years Rangers have had some rubs of the green but equally have been on the end of several shocking decisions as highlighted each month by Mr collum mostly involving Rangers. Rangers fans response, the standards of referees is shocking as is var and needs to improve and offer solutions like referees should be full time ect.
When a bad decision involving Celtic is made. Then the referees a Mason, Rangers supporting, pro establishment, anti Celtic, cheat and operation full conspiracy moves into full swing from their fans, board, players, staff, x players, pundits. Resulting in referees threatened and verbally abused, car scratched, windows smashed, green paint used at the referees homes.
They are very vocal when decisions go against them but the usual honest mistake applies when decision go in their favour mainly because it doesn't fit their twisted narrative.
Yes we are shocking atm but decisions like these win and equally cost league titles.
15 Sep 2025 12:02:56
Stewarty, Rangers shouldn't be any more than six points behind Celtic, very possibly four points behind, but we're nine points behind because of mistakes at the weekend.
15 Sep 2025 13:18:40
Is it something to do with VAR being told not to re-referee games again. whatever it was dreadful and worse given Shankland's hand ball off his chest which wasn't as it was a deflection. just consistency is all fans ask for.
15 Sep 2025 17:58:41
Throw ins are not checked by var and quite rightly so or you end of re-reffing the game. If we got a decision like that you wouldn't want var to be involved.
Our goal should have stood. Shanks handballed should have been disallowed, and hearts pen was a clear dive. If our refs got all the decisions correct it was have saved us from all the crap we missed out of shanks posts on here 😂.
15 Sep 2025 20:32:50
If the correct decisions are made at the weekend, Rangers scored, Shankland goal should have been chopped off, no penalty, Rangers win 1-0.
Kilmarnock and Celtic game ends 1-1, because that shouldn't have been a penalty, a swing of five points because the correct decisions weren't made.
15 Sep 2025 22:07:36
It is impossible to predict the result using that logic my star. For a start the flow of the game would completely change. You probably wouldn't have got the corner that lead to the disallowed goal.
The only thing you can say for a fact is that if the goal was disallowed it would have stayed nil nil at that point.
15 Sep 2025 23:57:01
Mijo& the Celtic penalty.
16 Sep 2025 07:58:51
The Killie throw in🤔🤔.
16 Sep 2025 08:27:41
Watp62 are you advocating we use VAR for thrown and corners as well? In real time it was hard to see the ball come off a Celtic player and Killie had time to defend the subsequent attack.
Frasercullen penalty was really harsh but pretty sure you would have been shouting for it if it happened in the last minute of your game against Hearts if you were drawing.
Referees are poor in this country and make bad decisions but there is no conspiracy. Games would go on forever if we start looking at thrown ins and corners!
Celtic had a terrible decision given against them playing Hibs last year which cost us points so these things happen. Do they annoy and anger me? Yes. Conspiracy? No.
16 Sep 2025 08:35:08
The only oroblem with that Mojo, is that we're never getting a penalty like that. It's becoming an all too common theme now. Blatant cheating imo.
16 Sep 2025 08:42:38
I'm advocating nothing, just for them to do their job correctly,5 wrong decisions over two games is bad.
16 Sep 2025 09:09:00
Mt Mojo, why? all I'm saying is it was a five point swing because of errors, that is true, Rangers scored, Shankland should have been chopped off, no penalty fir Hearts.
No way was that a penalty for Celtic, we have refs meeting managers pre season and explaining that wasn't a penalty, why was it a penalty on Sunday then?
16 Sep 2025 09:24:03
Mr Mojo, it makes no odds if Rangers fans were shouting on a penalty, the penalty that Celtic got in the 96 minute was a wrongful decision, unbelievable poor refereeing in Scotland, just bet that ref wouldn't be a Mason on Sunday though.
16 Sep 2025 10:50:24
And have Rangers not had a couple of dubious penalties given this season. One against Alloa and the one Gasama fell over and got a penalty?
We could go on at length about all of these, and I am sure there were more than 5 wrong refereeing decisions at the weekend as other clubs will argue they have been on the wrong end of poor decisions.
Fact is rules are confusing, information given is misleading and most people don't understand them so hardly surprising these things are happening but there is no conspiracy you need to let that one go.
16 Sep 2025 11:10:28
Seems to me that when the refs committee (Collum) does their review, Rangers are the most disadvantaged of all the teams.
The cup final "it was more outside than inside" re the Cerny shirt pull was enough for me. Given who were sitting at the monitor and were able to dismiss the incident within seconds, it's not difficult to draw certain conclusions.
16 Sep 2025 11:14:26
Can't recall the Alloa incident, however the Gassamma one was a stonewaller for me. No comparison whatsoever to your ricochet pen 6/ 7 minutes into injury time (even though only 3 mins were officially added! )
16 Sep 2025 11:15:13
Mr Mojo, you are missing my point though, If the correct decisions were made in both games at the weekend, Rangers would only be four points behind Celtic right now, it certainly wouldn't be nine like it is, yes some go for you and against you, I understand that, but I'm only talking about the games over the weekend.
16 Sep 2025 11:45:45
Mojo you are correct as most pundits don't understand the rules. unless they make the handball rule that it hits an arm then penalty then it will always be the same. even if they did do that we would still be arguing that every hit on the arm isn't a penalty.
the conspiracy claims from both sides are just wrong. My mates are Aberdeen fans and they would claim that the OF get more decisions for them than every other team in the league combined. so is this a conspiracy where the refs favour or penalise every team. so is a penalty wrongly given in Dundee vs Motherwell given to benefit one of the OF. lazy arguments, imo.
16 Sep 2025 12:21:01
I do agree with that mojo you can't predict but it is a higher probability for that to happen than anything else.
The way we played we didn't deserve anything and your lot were the same also.
16 Sep 2025 13:09:52
Mr i would agree that with rules and information is confusing ect however this doesn't explain human factor. In any walk of life if I make a decision in my work. If that decision is going to effect my life outside my work, re, I going to received all sorts of abuse. It's human nature that i'm going to think twice about making that decision or at the very least second guess a decision.
Last season or the season before. Rangers went something like 20 games without conceding a pen. Celtic go into full conspiracy mode, manager, board, pundits, x players, and fans. The very next game you guessed it a dodgy pen given against rangers. Now you can't tell me that external influence wasn't a factor in the awarding of that pen.
How many times has Mr collum had to come out and state we got it wrong that has involved rangers. I don't think there was a Mr collum monthly var review that didn't involve a decision made against Rangers last season.
We had cheating Beaton, bro madden, baby dallas the list goes on. Oh but now cheating Beaton is celtics lucky charm. So he went from being seen in a gers pub and a clear Rangers fan to celtics lucky charm having refereed over 30 Celtic games resulting in only one Celtic loss.
16 Sep 2025 13:21:53
That's true, storm, we did not deserve anything from the match, but to see a constant stream of basic "mistakes" being made to the advantage of one team and the detriment of the other is hard to accept.
16 Sep 2025 13:39:36
Stewarty correct but in these scenarios they have to make a decision where it doesn't matter which choice you make because you will get abuse from one side or the other. as is displayed here their team doesn't have to have played in the game.
Celtic only lost once perhaps as they are the best team in the league at the moment. 20 of their 38 fixtures (had to check😉) were by 3 goals or more and they were 17 points ahead of 2nd. so again why would a referee risk their livelihood and their families wellbeing by giving a decision for or against Celtic when the result is a not in doubt.
btw you are right in that both fans think there is a conspiracy by everyone against their team. so can both be right?
16 Sep 2025 13:45:25
There would've been a conspiracy if Separate Entity had not got the pen.
16 Sep 2025 14:52:57
But it shouldn't have been a penalty though Watp, mistakes happen but far to many mistakes happen in this league, end of the day they're nine points infront.
16 Sep 2025 17:07:04
Mojo you said about the thrown not being able to see it come off the Celtic player mate it's not rocket science if didn't come off Celtic player it goes in completely the different direction .
16 Sep 2025 20:26:44
I do enjoy coming on here for a lively debate and good to see other fans points of view. Did think I had clicked on the wrong site with the ref bashing and conspiracy theories seemed more like a Celtic site.
Storm got to be honest I didn't even notice who it came off. It was a throw in on the half way line and let's be honest Killie had plenty of time to get organised and defend, even their manager admitted that so not exactly a stick on game changer unlike the penalty or hand ball not given for Hearts goal but again you guys didn't exactly defend well when Hearts broke up the field. Defence was really poor and Dio just let Shankland wander off him so not all the officials fault.
I agree poor decisions at the weekend for things like Celtic penalty and the goal you had chopped off which was such a bad decision from the ref. Don't know what he saw. You have to admit though when it throw ins given the wrong way we are clutching at straws here as no way does the ref go" Ah ball out of play on the halfway line I will give it to Celtic as they will score from here. ".
16 Sep 2025 23:18:46
Or Shankland goal Mr Mojo, that game ends 1-0 for Rangers if correct decisions are made, said i understand decisions go both ways but they decisions at the weekend were a joke and caused a five point swing, Celtic fans would be going crazy now demanding answers, I know they answers wouldn't happen and Rangers are nine points behind.
17 Sep 2025 08:39:45
It's still wrong decisions at the end of the day and in the coming weeks the pen Celtic got some other team won't get for the same thing and that's the problem consistency. I ain't into conspiracy theories the refs are just rank rotten and you have the same idiots in charge of var.
Seeker yes Celtic took pen in 95th/ 96th min but that's was because of a lengthy var check the incident happened in 91st/ 92nd min mate.
17 Sep 2025 14:27:56
Stewart, my point being he went over and watched on the sidetrack tv, , what is wrong with his eyesight or his judgmental way of thinking awarding the penalty, he knows the rules, it's his job to know the rules, after all it's them that make the rules .
17 Sep 2025 20:14:56
Fraser you do know that's what happens with var eh?
18 Sep 2025 19:47:33
💩 refs, no conspiracy, especially for us that have won next to nothing past 20 years.
24 Sep 2025 00:23:06
Storm, yea I know that's what var is there for, but the ref must know he was wrong to award penalty, , he admitted it the next day mate.
