J_RFC87 766 Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Did anyone else notice that since that cowardly challenge by Hartley, Barry never kicked a ball after that? :angry2: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadaready 9,437 Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 One of many tactically important and pre-medatated attacks on our players. If the ref doesn't defend our guys, who will though? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emerson 2 Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 If that is not Anti-football and against sporting integrity then I do not know what is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcbear 10,932 Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 That was a pre meditated cynical lunge , this is going to be so so much sweeter when we win it over these durty cheating bassas. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nvager 498 Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Did anyone else notice that since that cowardly challenge by Hartley, Barry never kicked a ball after that? :angry2: He got nailed twice and that was that. Hartley put LM out for the season the other week too. Two yellow cards. JVOH should have been off in both games too. What pisses me off though is that no other mid fielder stepped up.

Decent point here. I do feel we have this type of player, but, alas, they were injured and/or suspended today. The positive point I can raise is that on the last 2 occasions, our rivals have only just managed to defeat a massively depleted Rangers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kirkiebear 1,013 Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 i was going to start a thread on this. I have noticed this throughout the season when watching celtic games, they target the players who are having their better games against them, and cynically target their achilles tendon, commit atrocious tackles on then, and generally kick them until they are injured.

Of course they do, Hartley even did it at Hearts. It is in part the player, but I bet it is talked about among them. The amount of times they do it is unrealistic to be random.

Just look at the tapes of our games versus them and add up the times we get hammered compared to the penalties they receive. A few yellow cards compared to us losing players for weeks. Doesn't seem right does it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wienblue 26 Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 That's the v/nature of football when winning and tactics mean everything. We should have done the same to them and by not doing so, we are a soft target and so only have ourselves to blame. That's how it goes. Hartley was doing exactly what we should have been doing. It annoys me, that we never had any bite or foresight to do that. Winning is everything and if you let yourself be a punch bag, well, await the consequences.
