Rangers v Celtic 24/04/11 K.O @ 12:30

it was a dive , even if there was slight contact, which i didnt see btw, remember jelavic dived in the cup final? rogne caught his knee but it was still a dive, he got booked, stokes did today, deservedly so

it wuld be double standard for me to say otherwise

 

He was in tears I think.

 

* stupid from Lenny asking for more trouble .

 

The hun made contact, without playing the ball. Yes his fall was a bit much but it was still a foul in the box.

 

Clear dive .

 

Forster - 6 - clean sheet but very ropey at corners.
wilson - 6 - Defensively ok passing was awful.
maj - 6 - won a few headers but jelavic had the better of him.
mulgrew - 6 - Same as maj.
izzy - 8 - superb i thought, very cool under pressure.
brown - 6.5 Poor 1st half improved in the 2nd.
Kayal - 8 - warrior again, fought for every ball and tried to start attacks.
Ki - 7 - very composed, defended well, passed the ball well also , good game.
ledley - 6 Wasnt really in the game, prefer him in the middle.
hooper - 6 Didnt gel with sammy at all, didnt do enough himself to get involved.
Sammy 6.5 Awful 1st half, much improved 2nd half.
Commons 6 Done ok, prefered him to start.
Stokes 7 Won us a pen, played well in general, dissapointing dive though.

 

<*O*> Lets all do the lenny

We got a draw at their own turf in a game they really needed to win, of course theres a disappointment with the pen miss, but when it all settles down we will look at it as a good result

We're in the driving seat, potentially 2 points ahead with a better goal differerence, plus the huns have difficult games ahead also
* you Rangers we're gonna win the league

 

so jelavic should have had a penalty in the cup? bollocks

stokes dived, it was disapointing but i'll get over it, not a penalty imo

 

Spot on Mate.

 

mcgregor was outstanding today... jelavic also - too bad that we didn't manage to sign him...
but stokes played lot better in 15 minutes, than hooper in 75 min..

i really wanted sammy to score to end his scoring drought.. i hope he'll score till end of the season..

 

LISTEN TO THAT * WALTER SMITH ON CLYDE 1

 

Would have taken a draw but the missed penalty makes it feel sour.

Still, if everyone's going on about us dropping points? WHY CAN'T THEY?!

ONE NEIL LENNON, COME ON TO * LADS!

 

Game wasn't enjoyable from a personal point of view. My head was in my hands for most of it, especially that Lafferty chance when I thought he scored and most of the time Samaras was giving the ball away.

I was up shouting, swearing and calling him every name under the Sun when he missed that penalty, but I did too feel sorry for him at full time, when I had calmed down and seen how gutted he seemed to be. It should have been Commons or Stokes that hit the penalty though.

The only good thing we can take from that performance today is the fact that we are now in the driving seat again. The league is ours to lose and there can be no more excuses from us. If we * up and lose the league, we cannot blame referees, as we have the quality in our team to win our remaining five games without their help.

ILWT

 

Atleast it shows you he cares about the club (samaras) alot of others would of went "Ach well, just pick up the wages at the end of the week" <- not aimed at Celtic players but there's plenty of players in the world that would of thought that IMO

 

is hooper a choker 2nd game he hasnt turned

 

The only thing that pic does is incite trouble..... Have a look around Rangers Media if you don't believe me. I'm sure they will have a thing to say about it....

my heart was in my mouth all game. I thought they were going to score.

I'd have taken a draw beforehand. But, someone else should have taken the penalty.

 

Good post.

 

after walter smith said celtic never get penalties etc etc lenny said "well they got a penalty when the ref wasn't even looking so what's his point"

 

Thought Ki had a really good game, hes been critized unfairly by some imo
Yes he has had a few poor games but he has improved a lot since last season and has had a good season overall
He was particularly good in the second half, starting a lot of moves
