Mark. Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 WALTER SMITH believes a huge decision may have prevented Rangers from securing a pivotal win over Celtic today but accepts that his side probably only deserved a draw I believe the huge decision was yours Walter. You cost us that game when you showed the tims fear. We shouldn't have to rely on a penalty to beat such a shite Celtc team. Please, just leave now and take your useless management team with you.

nvager Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 This Celtic team are NOT good and we showed them and Aberdeen far too much credit and paid with it with four lost points. Have guts Walter and really go all out for the title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inaclina Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 I guess Walter was too eager to get home for his tea than get involved in the last minutes of a game he took so little to do with and evidently a draw was all he was hoping for. In that case let someone with more heart take the job and the paycheck that goes with it. I.M.O. the points were there for the taking we don't have time or the interest in Walter's drawn out strategies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueboy94 Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 WTF? We got a point at the piggery,and were overall the better team. I'd understand if we played shite and lost today but c'mon eh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScotBear Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 I don't understand how achieving a draw at Parkhead would result in you asking for Smith to go. We played 4-4-2 at Ibrox remember, with goal machine Kris Boyd playing, and we lost 1-0, the first time in 8 or 9 Old Firm games we'd failed to score a goal. 4 points at Parkhead this season is outstanding.

rfc_no1fan Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 Celtic are at their most dangerous when teams open up against them. Many teams will tell you this, Walter deserves praise not criticism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celtic may be poor, but they have a team capable of ripping you apart on their day and are Champions of Scotland for the last 3 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inaclina Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 So it's not the winning that counts, just the taking part? I aggree it would be a great result to take away from the piggery if it was against a strong, in-form celtic team we were up against but are we're kidding ourselves that points dropped now won't haunt us towards the end of the season?

delparlane Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 This may be heresy, but I honestly don't know how anyone couldv'e watched that rubbish and still say we were the better team overall. It was a game of 2 Halfs - they ruled the first, we were better in the second. Pretty evenly matched, and both teams pretty underwhelming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rangers4eva Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 Celtic may not be a particularly good team but we are not much better, setting out more attacking/open would have caused us problems and could have cost us the league imo.

port_bear Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 Any manager worth their salt could have seen after about 60 minutes (if not before) that Celtic were there for taking today and acted accordingly. I can understand (even if I don't agree with it) his decision to start the match with a cautious approach but by not trying to be more attacking with his substitutions is just unacceptable as far as i'm concerened. To swap pretty much like for like and continue to play with only one up top when we started to dominate the game just further highlights Walter and his negative, out-dated attitude ! Taxi for Smith !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simplythebest Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 I need to give Smith credit today as his team talk at half time clearly worked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maryann Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 there is no way we should be playin it again, we are better than the rest and we no it, we just need to start games alot better and get the games done before half time!!!! we've got kilmarnock (h) hamilton (a) inverness (h) & st mirren (a) hearts (h) all before the end of march and i think going with 4-4-2 will get us maximum points Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have guts Walter and really go all out for the title. The worry is that septic may have better form going into the next OF game and we then rue the chance we had today to move ahead of them ... very often fortune does favour the brave and you have to take your chances when they are there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
