I'll give you an idea how about jumping up and down and telling Mr Rodgers to get it right up him There’s more reasonable comments from the Celtic fans about this and that’s saying something..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmcalpin Posted February 25, 2019 Report Share Posted February 25, 2019 Just watched the highlights on our TV. For the first goal, our midfield was sitting far too deep and if you make a mistake in that position, ie a free header, there's no way back. Goal No 2 came from a free cross in. Again that puts the defence under immediate and unnecessary pressure. Goal No 3 was a great strike. Goal No 4 came from several errors - giving the ball away and lack of marking. Robbo can take comfort from that performance in that 3 of the 4 goals were completely avoidable and down to very poor defending. Thats something he can work on and will help to motivate the players. It was good us go to Parkhead and play more positively. In the past we've struggled to mount a single attack. From other sources, not MTV unfortunately, there seems to be a general misunderstanding, deliberate and otherwise, about the events leading up to our goal. I didn't appreciate that Christie took it upon himself to leave the field first for treatment and come back on (all without the referee's permission) and then go down, presumably to allow a sub to come on. As we know, he has previous for simulation, and I can unerstand why our lads would be wary of his antics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya Bezzer! Posted February 25, 2019 Report Share Posted February 25, 2019 Let's be honest, James Scott shouldn't have done what he did and our reaction would have been similar if the roles had been reversed but at the same time the whole incident has been blown up and Rodgers comments after the match are ridiculous and show off his clubs sense of superiority and entitlement. Rodgers comments about the how the goal shouldn't have been allowed and that we should have let them score are there purely to create a reaction. James Scott is a rookie player making his first start in a match and has probably got a bit excited. Rodgers is an old pro who knows exactly what he's doing. So who's the cynic? As has been said I don't remember Celtic letting us score after dodgy penalties or letting us bring on an extra player after red cards for nothing. The whole thing has the same kind of stink around it as the whole 'guard of honour' thing. When Celtic are involved there are obligations that don't really exist. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbcmfc Posted February 25, 2019 Report Share Posted February 25, 2019 I don’t understand how Edouard got booked for the clash with Aldred? If it’s accidental, nothing, if it’s deliberate, it’s a red card. I’m not a referee, but what was he booked for? I can’t see a bookable offence. Red or nothing, deliberate or accident. From one angle it looks accidental clash of heads, from another it looks like he’s caught him with his elbow... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wishaestevie Posted February 25, 2019 Report Share Posted February 25, 2019 Is there any 'proper' highlights anywhere other than the 2 minutes job ? Like SBCMFC , I don't understand the Edouard one with Aldred. If it's reckless/dangerous/deliberate then it's a Red. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmcalpin Posted February 25, 2019 Report Share Posted February 25, 2019 We mustn't forget that when Christie went down Celtic continued to attack and it was only when that move broke down that they put the ball out of play. If they were that concerned about sportsmanship or their player's injury, they should have put the ball out immediately. These kind of incidents happen occasionally and it should really be down to the referee to stop the game, unless there are obvious serious issues. That way there's no confusion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m actually coming round to that opinion. Having initially felt Scott was out of order (while making allowances for him being naive or over keen). I don’t think we should be taking lectures on sportsmanship from that lot anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottW1886 Posted February 25, 2019 Report Share Posted February 25, 2019 Christie wasn't down in need of treatment, he'd already had that so it's not all that clear cut. That said, if Celtic had scored a goal in the same circumstances yesterday we'd have been unhappy so it's probably one that we've got wrong. However, the sanctimonious shite that we're being subjected to now almost makes me happy that we did it. As has been mentioned, last season alone Celtic scored twice where their player threw themselves to the ground under no contact and feigned injury to get a Motherwell player sent off. Not once did Brendan Rodgers offer anything other than an assertion that they had done nothing wrong and sought to justify both penalties. Against St Johnstone they were awarded a penalty which clearly wasn't, and were more than happy to tuck it away and move on. No talk of Celtic players needing to "redeem themselves" or thoughts of how "It's a goal that shouldn't have stood so you have a chance to do something about it" and how these incidents are "unfortunate for the game" or even how Sinclair, McGregor and Brown were involved in "disappointing acts on a football pitch" and how "the criticism goes to the players because it wasn't a good act at all". None of that at all. Chris Sutton called it disgraceful, yet he himself did exactly the same thing as a player. Brendan Rodgers' Celtic side played on to score while an Astana player was lying with a head knock. Strachan's Celtic sides would routinely 'give the ball back' by chipping it into the corner and pressing the opposition. The hypocrisy from the Celtic fans and management is astounding on this - and that's not even mentioning the Edoard challenges on Aldred and McHugh and the reaction to McHugh being stretchered off, followed by the "Orange Bastard" tweets he was sent amongst those wishing him dead. An Irishman from Donegal who has his Twitter name in Gaelic hardly screams "Orange" to me... In a week where the Celtic fans were shook to the core by an incident at Ibrox that had nothing to do with them they have displayed the exact behaviour they were devastated by. Ashamed of nothing, offended by everything. Fuck them. 14 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it Rangers at Fir Park Livingstone went off injured leaving us with 10 men and they scored before we had a sub ready. Remember thinking that was naive from our POV, should’ve done what Christie did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't like to give the Ugly Sisters any chance to adopt the moral high ground for once but the media's and Celtic's reaction is quite ridiculous and our whitabootery is justified for once. James is young and his actions are probably the result of his inexperience and exuberance. On the other hand, Ryan Christie has considerable form in the Sneak Stakes and my respect for him has steadily diminished as his frequent simulating and tendency to leave the foot in have become more obvious. I noticed a tabloid lying on a café table today with the screaming sports headline "UNETHICAL". No wonder the circulation figures for the Dead Tree Scrolls are tanking when you see sanctimonious crapola like that. I didn't think my opinion of Brendan Rogers could get any lower after his shameless and manipulative comments on Ryan Bowman but I was wrong. The sooner he loups the dyke and goes back to the English Premiership the better. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
