You know, I was deliberating whether to give this a miss tonight even though I expected their fans to be on whinging (albeit managed by the show production team), however so glad I gave it a try as Keevin’s is sounding genuinely sick how things have panned out re their injuries and is being very disrespectful re Alloa. I would like Andy Halliday push back against his hurting mind you but I’ve said before that thin veneer of parity of commentary is definitely ever decreasing…

It’s really the only time it’s bearable, or acceptable to listen to it imo, however it now appears the norm that the narrative of how the conversation will go is manipulated by the production team and somehow it will focus on some form of negativity towards us:-)… Don't think I’m even joking…

Totally agree, that game went beyond incompetence. As well as the incidents (many of them) highlighted on the thread from the Game at Parkhead, your post just reminded me that he actually booked Brown twice that game but magically forgot about the first booking then denied it post match. I remember him booking one of our players at the same time as Brown, he actually raised the card twice, bizarre he got away with that…

I don’t subscribe to any referee conspiracy nonsense but as I said previously, Clancy crossed the line. We all have the right to our own opinion, my opinion is formed from that old firm game. Hard to imagine anyone watching the numerous outrageous decisions made by him on that day without saying there was a bias in his decision making (unconscious or not). Personally, after watching the game over that day I think he knew exactly what he was doing and he is not to be trusted to officiate with parity…

Collum, is unpredictable and has phases of incompetency to varying degrees, nothing more imo. Clancy on the other hand is the only referee in my opinion that has crossed the line of incompetence in to actual cheating during that game at Parkhead against them. I consider myself to be level headed and fairly objective, but on the evidence of that game alone (and there was plenty of it) I don’t think anyone could convince me otherwise…

Any credible person wouldn’t try to renege on that speech but they seem to make things up as they go along if it benefits a certain team it would appear…

They will refuse it on the back of Doncaster’s speech, unless of course the other side of the city feel they are disadvantaged and their place man will find a way of supporting it…

He’s evolved in to another smarmy would-be despot on the show who, if he does in fact support Motherwell (which I’m not convinced tbh), he’s one that favours them, and after the emergence of all the dirty secrets they have in their closet, goodness knows why?…

Be a gauge to see how their fans will deal with this, especially if he doesn’t have a good game, it’s not been great so far from them…

Definitely BK, funnily enough I seem to remember how much this was pointed out at the time by SSB, but on this occasion it’s all but a master stroke. Surprised none of the presenters (by that I mean no affiliation to them) have not rounded on this, again put this down to being ‘over subjective’ and non partisan, because if I can clearly see this surely they too must?…

Yes and yes but not necessarily in that order. I came to that conclusion when they set their hopes in 3 new signings from the J league, obviously recommend from their new manager, pointing to absolutely no in club scouting strategy whatsoever. Said it before that I think this is a massive act of folly on their part and look forward to the backlash when we move on to 56 which I am very confident of doing. No doubt their manager will be the scapegoat which following his lording over their fans after them disrespecting Remembrance Day, good enough for him…

Yeh, pretty much agree. I am also surprised that it was allegedly 75% vote for it. Apart fro them and ourselves I really don’t see why any of the smaller teams in the league (basically them all) who don’t have the same quality in depth of squad would be in favour of handing over such an advantage…

All the more infuriating when regardless of content or editorial agenda we are paying their wages and financing the nonsense the BBC has become (assuming you pay for a tv license that is🙄)…

Pretty much sums up football governance in the country regardless of the issue…

Yes I remember that, a great performance and really enjoyable game, there was a real feel good factor afterwards. I remember watching McLaughlin in equal measures of amazement and disgust bypassing the great football and reporting on some alleged non-incident in a car park I think. I was in mixed company and one of the non Rangers supporting lads even commented how ridiculous and out of order he was…

Agree with this mate but you can bet every one of their MSP supporters (literally the majority imo) would have picked up the phone to her or her office following the statement release by them on the postponement to try and apply the pressure to do so…

Fair point, next thing you know he’ll be presenting celtic tv, but that could never happen could it🙄…

😀👍

The hypocrisy is astounding, I have no doubt had the opinion been favourable they would have been promoting the journalists confirmation of the players ability as fact, the thin veneer of subjectivity that he once applied (on occasion) is really wearing thin. As for Gordon Duncan, initially imo a breath of fresh air which had rapidly descended in to an apologist on all things negative celtic, and all to happy to ‘play devils advocate’ in negativity towards Rangers (like I said imo). He may very well be a Motherwell fan, but obviously one of the many who favours that lot over us, goodness knows why?….

You can bet that their many MSP supporters are applying as much pressure to have their stadium filled on top of the upcoming rugby conundrum…

They need to be asked far beyond the carnage she has caused to football tbh but unfortunately in our ‘progressive country’ never are…

Tbf he did say ‘likeable to them’, but the rest of your observations on him are to the point. The very day that their support disrespected Remembrance Day he was over at them lording it up post match, cringeworthy to the extreme yet I remember after SG recorded our first victory at theirs after a decade and the MSM largely branded him as ‘ot’ for celebrating. I’m genuinely going to love the spin put on this when we lift 56 this year, which I am very confident of doing…

Undoubtedly, however no point wasting time over their good fortune. I am genuinely excited to see what 3 weeks worth of coaching from GVB will deliver, new signings arriving or not. I think we all should be, exciting times ahead JM…

As recent games would suggest I believe he will thrive under the stewardship of GVB and Makaay is bound to have a positive influence on his development…

Plus Morelos has assisted in 4 goals in the league… There is either confirmation bias from the many followers of them in MSM against Morelos (and Rangers in general tbh) or a strange over attempt to be over subjective from Rangers orientated journalists/ pundits. It’s all just unwanted noise to me these days, I rarely listen to, read or take notice of any ‘football’ articles in Scotland, I form opinion and make decisions on form, skill, ability and predictions from my personal experience, no interest in what any clown on tv, radio or print has to say on the national sport these days…
