    Scott McDonald highlighted that and criticised him for it..

    I posted it in the other thread but Sportsounds Richard Wilson said for some the jury's still out on Bitton:56::56:

    Aye, he pulled it off about the first 5 times and it looked great but he tried it again another couple of times and ran into players and then kinda battled away for the ball, messed about a bit too much in the end.

    I listened to the phone in on clyde on the way and McCulloch mentioned that Hugh Keevins said that Charlie Mulgrew was a better midfielder than him :52::52::52::56::56::56: Shug still clueless after about 90 year of watching football.

    Well that's a pretty good base to work off. I hope we can hold onto him for at least a couple more years.

    Baffled to see him come off. Must've taken a knock surely?

    One of the better players tonight.

    Aye he was hobbling a wee bit for 5 minutes before he went off, think he must have got a kick or something, probably one of the times he was arsing about trying to spin through 2/3 players.

    He was our best player by a distance tonight. Rightfully given MOTM even though he was subbed early doors. He bailed Brown out a few times after he had given it away tonight as well.

    Crucial for us now to be honest.

    Much poorer side without him, which is a credit to how far he has come.

    Class act, so comfortable in possession.

    Did he go off injured? If not I have no idea why he was subbed.. Best player on the park.

    Was by far our main man last night, kept possesion well getting out of a tightly packed midfield and moving the ball, great tackling and interceptions and was sprinting about constantly covering other players and even pressing them single handedly back to the keeper. Very impressive.

    'Isreali *'? Wouldn't say he's a * myself, not sure what an 'Isreali' is.

    If you mean Israeli, then you should try to improve your spelling.

    You could probably get some help from your fellow Orangemen in your local hall, because a post like yours is fairly synonymous with what a bigoted * would say.

    Go put your face in a blender, *.

    Subbed off to give us another man up front. Nothing to do with his performance. Would it have been feasible to take our captain off? Who knows, he was good at regaining posession, even if his passes were a little shoddy.

    Not to open this * can of worms again, but I'm quite sure he was referring to his political views, not just blind xenophobia.

    I think Bitton must surely have had a knock. If he didn't, then I would have removed Brown before him, no question about it, as Bitton was our best player I felt.

    Brown should definetly have been subbed before Bitton. One was the best player on the park and the other was the worst.

    As poor as Brown was on the ball, he still had a great effect on the game. He was great at breaking up play and a constant driving force. He's such a great influence on our team.

    Personally I'd have taken Johansen off (and I'm a big fan). Thought he was poor last night. It's all a matter of opinion though and at the end of the day, it's only Ronny's that counts. Fair play to him for making a bold decision which ultimately paid off.

    Anyone who supports last summers massacre in Gaza,poses for pictures with Benjamin Netanyahu,or serves in the occupation,can safely be considered a bit of a *.

    Well unless they happen to play for Celtic - then they shouldn't be criticised.

    Johanson would have been a shout. He's not nearly as effective in that deeper position anyway.
