  1. Yes but look at what they and their cabal had to do to us so they could begin to get close to us.
  2. Anything we say gets picked apart and spun by the media. Anything they say gets accepted, picked up and run as part of the narrative of Scottish football. Dignified silence only works if you have a media with some level of impartiality overall. Until we as a club call this out properly and consistently, nothing will change. We might even have to upset a few folk along the way to get somewhere.
  3. I agree, they need to be more effectual in goal-scoring. The 2 wingers need to become more unpredictable to defenders in their positioning, coming wide or inside. Kent does this better but he is not effectual enough when he gets into goal scoring positions. Too often crosses are too long or too floaty, but because the opposite winger is sitting too wide (leaving usually only 1 attacker in a goal-scoring position) it is being picked up by the winger. If we are going to have fast wingback style defenders, they should be picking up that over-hit cross with the opposite winger becoming the 2nd attacker in front of goal. Also, draw a semi-circle from the goal about 15 yards out and in that area we are too often chaotic. Crosses are not reaching attackers, incisive on the deck passes are not reaching anyone except defenders and there are not enough attackers in that area. Instead, defences are packing the area and booting the ball clear. If teams fear us having the ball in that area then they will sit further from the goal to try to prevent the ball getting that close to the goal, which will lead to more space once we get there. For this we need better players or our existing players to improve how often they get in such positions and what they do when they get there. There's too many players at the moment waiting for the ball to pop back out to them, which of course it does because there is no one there to make something happen. Too often we're playing tennis with our advanced midfield outside the semi-circle and defenders inside it. We need to be more ruthless and go and get goals rather than hope Alfie will get lucky. There are many other factors and situations but these are 2 clear situations that happen regularly in matches that have potential for goals but are mismanaged by the players in very predictable ways.
  4. no, they're lovely people really, really welcoming, especially to foreigners
  5. With all respect that is due to you, Steve, we don't believe a bloody word you say.
  6. The message from the footballing authorities is that our players should have no protection.
  7. At the very least we look as if we're trying to be professional about the situation. The bbc staff are out with their snidey comments and the bbc themselves have digs in response. They really don't get it.
  8. A decent start, very late, must start piling the pressure on the football authorities and the bbc. And in related news, Spiersy in telling half a story to change the meaning shocker! How very not at all surprising.
  9. Post above shows why ra dood just doesn't get it
  10. Until all clubs can request citations and have access to the decision-making process, which is carried out by properly independent experts, then the whole process is only going to reflect the existing power-base within Scottish football and the bias of those making the narrative, and reflect the honesty of those people. Basically, a bunch of cheats have created a system to make sure they win through any means necessary and they're trying their best to hold on to that power.
  11. The club should publicly ask the SFA to ensure they are providing a safe environment for their employees to work in as McGregor was booted in the balls by Ferguson later and there was no red card or retrospective punishment, the Power kick to Jack's face got only a yellow, and Morelos was sent off for brushing a guy's arse with his studs then when the other player deliberately studs him in the face, the same punishment is given. So 2 examples of studs to the face in 2 games and a clearly intended boot to the balls. And that's just for starters.
  12. Because everyone else gets away with worse these day especially if they're playing us and/or wear green and grey hoops, as you well know.
  13. Fully agree. But we have tried to be honourable about it for too long and the whole system has slid down to the level of the lowest common denominator, that is, celtc and they currently hold practically all the cards. We don't have the ability to flip the table, so we have to play their game for now, if only to let the few remaining decent people see that the current system just doesn't work. Basically if we're being cited for anything we either stick our heads in the sand or we call for the same for others so that there is at least some level of parity and others will know there are consequences if they mess us around. There's an ideal reality and a working reality and at the moment the ideal reality is so buried in green and grey muck we have little choice.
  14. Bunch of wannabes who try their hardest to have a rivalry with us then whine when we celebrate beating them.
  15. This. And if you agree that a conspiracy is 2 or more people working together to achieve something negative to another without transparency then you can add the image of bbc staff discussing and choosing controversial Rangers clips while choosing not to use celtc clips, or those who happen to be playing us at the time. The fact that they are working together and consistently choosing to show us in a bad light while covering up those of other, especially celtc teams, means that at least at some levels there is a conspiracy. Then the fact that the bbc staff - and plenty from the media as a whole - together choose with a clear agenda to show us in a bad light, while knowing that this will skew the authorities against us. This happened this week clearly and was attempted after the Old Firm game, so there is a conspiracy against us that is directly affecting us as a team because they have conspired to have 2 of our key players banned for 5 matches total while burke's dive and 2 assaults by other celtc players are ignored by the authorities. These are the same authorities who admitted in the past that they choose who to investigate from media sources such as sportscene. So yes, there are people working together to show us in a bad light, which is picked up and reacted to against our interests by the authorities, as seen this week. Therefore, at some levels there is a conspiracy that directly affects our team and who plays in it, and therefore very possibly our results.
  16. Looking forward to tomorrow's back page debate over whether burke's ballet fail should come under the description of diving in the box... Cmon, steve clarke, get them told, you're not havin this!
  17. Seems the meedja are trying to stop Alfie getting his big move. Oh well, another season of Alfie terrorising their pet teams' defenders.🙂
  18. They're the ones pushing for a rivalry against us for decades. Now they don't like it? Twice the volume and an extra 3 verses!
