papaguy51 912 Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 I've never had as little faith in a Rangers team to win away from Ibrox as I now have in this one. Was really up for it this morning and felt like we were going to win, but that result has proved everything to me. When was the last time we won three away games in a row? Must be years ago. Let's not mince words - the pro Walter crew on here will stoutly defend this result, they must feel like it's their duty. But I need you ask them, what is it going to take for you to realise the problems? Hearts done us a fucking MASSIVE favour this week, if the Tic had won then we would quite literally be one loss away from losing the league again. We really should be sitting two points behind Celtic and going into the OF game at Ibrox with the chance to go at least 1 point above them. But hey, it's Walter and everything will be alright Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
simplythebest 11,453 Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 Totally agree, a poor away record in the league is much worse than a poor away record in europe. I feel the same about us winning games away from home especially at certain grounds, the recent records at Pittodrie and Tannadice are nothing short of shocking.

davierangers 0 Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 Its fucking pathetic, the tims can string up a 12 match streak, even winning the ones they play shite in and we can't even win away from ibrox Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
papaguy51 912 Posted December 13, 2008 Author Share Posted December 13, 2008 In all fairness, Celtic have been losing against Man Utd, Milan, Barca etc. We've been dropping points against Motherwell, St Mirren, Aberdeen and Dundee Utd. Oh, and Hearts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kerzzo 4 Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 Our SPL away record is shocking at the moment. But don't compare it to the Scum CL as they have never won away yet. But its about time our team get their act together thats 7 points dropped in the last 3 away games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a record our fans gloat about far too much, in the end i couldn't care less about europe, its the league we need and have needed for nearly 4 years.

Our away record is certainly better than theirs with the great wins we got in Monaco, Eindhoven and Lyon but sadly we don't have all that brilliant a home record.

jbm26896 995 Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 I have never slagged their away record in the CL - and I never will I just put a stack of money on the team they are playing and so far I am happy with my returns I am more concerned with the way we lose goals at the moment - our defending is attrocious Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, and Hearts. Exactly...I mean its funny to see them suffer so much away in the CL, but losing against the teams you mentioned isn't anything to be proud of. It is peculiar, that we can put on great performances at Celtic Park and Easter Road, but lay eggs at Love Street. It's a shame to, I think if we had at least a passable away record, we would be in good shape to win the league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
papaguy51 912 Posted December 13, 2008 Author Share Posted December 13, 2008 Just going through the stats there. Our away record last year was actually pretty good, up until Celtic beat us 2-1 at their place. Since then, it's been just woeful. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imodium 411 Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 I have thought this for a long while but didn't want to bring it up as there are some morons on this forum that accuse you of being a Tim if you mention anything negative against our team that is linked with Celtic. They have a decent record away from home in the SPL and that wins them titles. Simple as that. We have a great record at home that clubs should fear yet away from home we are there for the taking. We need to get this sorted out ASAP if we are to go for the title. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShootSpeedKillLight 0 Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 When it really comes down to it, making fun of their away record in the CL is a bit stupid. Today the 'you'll never win away' song went up, and I sang along, partly because it helped me forget about the futility of our own situation. The 'you'll never win the league' chant is even more ridiculous, considering the situation we find ourselves in. On the other hand, we can beat teams like Lyon away (and not a lucky 95th minute 1-0 like they would get). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOLUWDC 1 Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 I'm a fan of Walter but there is nothing to defend about these away results really. St. Mirren, Aberdeen, Motherwell, Hearts, Dundee United :no: embarrassing tbh. Sure, we can look to the Beasley goal at Aberdeen and the wrong offside against Boyd at Motherwell but the games should be finished before then. I wasn't surprised when DU took the lead against us. I still think we'll win the league though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly believe if we'd won (or even drawn) that game we'd have won 4 trophies last season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluepeter 5,627 Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 I've just posted similar in a different thread, then remembered that this thread was here. I just don't get the original question at all. In a record stretching back to 2001, Celtic have never won a Champions League game away from home. We have, they haven't. Ever. We shouldn't mention this because we are having a poor season away from home? I just don't get that at all. I thought it was our job to slag them for their poor records, and their job to slag us for ours. Fact is for all the wrist-cutting melodrama about our (admittedly terrible) away performance, we are still in touch in the league, and are two home wins away from being 1 point behind at worst. Let the tims slag us for our SPL away performance if they want, I'm not going to do their job for them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muff 245 Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 I have more important things to worry about than slagging and laughing at celtc's away form in Europe. We should worry about our away record in the SPL, especially to the top 6 before even thinking about them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
