  1. Breaking news on Croatian Sportal.hr

     

     

    “Hrvatski je reprezentativac u redovima Rangersa, Nikica Jelavić, odigrao cijeli susret, ali nije bio previše opasan po vratar zeleno-bijelih. Nekoliko udaraca iz teških situacija i ništa više.”

  2. Enjoyed that scrappy win tonight and came straight home so I am still fit for a night out tomorrow evening.

     

     

    Good performances from Kayal, Rogne & Matthews but everyone played a part.

     

     

    I should maybe start betting again after this prediction from my 17.31 post tonight:-

     

     

    “There’s often an unexpected hero in a match against them. I foresee Joe Ledley doing some damage tonight but this league will not be won or lost tonight. ”

     

     

    A big thank you to the players and management of Celtic FC who kept their heads when many were losing theirs.

     

     

    We have a league to win and no-one should be counting any chickens but there is a lot of good feeling in Timdom tonight

  3. Any further news on Beram’s injury? I’m hoping it looked worse than it was and that his substitution was more precautionary than anything else. He was immense tonight, as were all the Bhoys.

     

    The hard fought victory that we deserved.

  4. Bhoys I can’t describe the way I’m

     

    feeling tonight I’m fkn buzzing the scum got what they deserved and if the hubs are happy with the way their team play then they are sad individuals.

     

     

    Cmon the hoops we love you yeeha.

  5. Bhoys I can’t describe the way I’m

     

    feeling tonight I’m fkn buzzing the scum got what they deserved and if the huns are happy with the way their team play then they are sad individuals.

     

     

    Cmon the hoops we love you yeeha.

  6. Home from a terrific result, the better team won the game to got top of the SPL

     

     

    Collum had a very poor match

     

     

    Stokes booked for first challenge with Jellylegs and in particular Lafferty allowed numerous fouls

     

     

    Disgraceful challenge by McCulloch on Kayal, disgraceful on two levels, (1)Kayal went in quick for the ball as honest as the day as long McCulloch went in a fraction late deliberately to catch Kayals ankle(2) McCulloch cynically rolled about waving his arm to indicate he had a serious injury, Collum and the north stand linesman ought to be ashamed to have been conned by a shyster like McCulloch, certainly fat sally whipped him off soon after

     

     

    Heally assault on Forrest is a red card no question

     

     

    Kayal, Brown, Mulgrew, Ledley, Forrester and Sammy all excellent tonight, hope Beram recovers soon

     

     

    Happy bhoy tonight, round you Collum and Dallas

  7. right i’m off to edinburgh zoo – one of the women of the year is there and single- oh wait it’s a Panda – or is she a Panda or is she really the wife of a H*N after tonights result?? – get it 2 black eye – hes’ fitball crazy

    That makes my point more important, You are studying very hard for your 51+% wins.

     

     

    You know as much as I do, as soon as you share bets it seems to Divebomb. ;))

     

     

    Most people just go for bets they like the look of and do a wee bit of research about.

     

     

    I will start emailing you my high odds (Saturday) accumulator every 2 or 3 weeks so you can see how it runs.

     

     

    HH m8.

  9. The tackle on Kayal was a bad one.

     

     

    Thing is the only difference was elbows got there before Kayal.

     

     

    They both went in to hurt.

     

     

    Kayal had the silliness of youth to over stretch. It hurt him but he will be back. And be wiser for it.

     

     

    Pick your fights Beram.

     

     

    Come on you bhoys in green

  10. This Jelavic guy, who is worth £10m, he must be the leading scorer in the league by a country mile, no? What?? Just one ahead of Hooper, you say? Just 3 ahead of Stokes, you say? And when they introduce him on Sky they add to his tally those he scored against Celtic while at Rapid Vienna?? Those goals carry over into the SPL, right??

    Some Tweets from tonight-apologies if any already posted:

    @VaughanCricket

     

    Michael Vaughan Just can’t get enough is loud… #oldfirm

     

     

    JasonRoberts30 Jason Roberts

     

    Fantastic Defensive display from The Bhoys…Samaras was immense…ran himself ragged and was the base of the performance!!!

     

     

    GrahamSpiers Graham Spiers

     

    A strange, almost pitiful 2nd half from Rangers at Parkhead, given they were allegedly ‘chasing’ the game from the 52nd minute

     

     

     

    @McNallyMirror

     

    Brian McNally Neil McCann- “Craig Whyte has to give Ally McCoist some money” SORRY- Big Problem, Neil- He has to give HMRC a shedload of money. #Celtic

     

     

     

    @McNallyMirror

     

    Brian McNally Just seen the David Healy groin-high challenge on James Forrest. Straight red in most leagues except, of course, the SPL. #Celtic

     

     

    marccrosas Marc Crosas Luque

     

    Yaaaaaaaas!!!!!!top of the league!!we just can’t get enough!!!what an amazing feeling being back home at PARADISE with the fans #hailhail

    Can you hear the R******s sing?NOOOOOO…NOOOOO…

  12. truth…

     

     

    You don’t now what downsizing is. Your management has been aware for years that RFC was living well beyond its means, but instead of cutting back they decided instead to go for broke time and again, like a drunken gambler in Reno.

     

     

    Kaunus? 7 million spent in the days following a financially crippling result.

     

     

    2010? 4.4million spent on Jelavic, money RFC clearly did not have and in clear defiance of the wishes of those who held the club’s overdraft.

     

     

    £49million tax demand? Instead of manning-up, and starting to put money aside, sell players etc to cover this existential risk, RFC have ignored it and continued to spend blithely away…

     

     

    The downsizing will hit you soon – if liquidation doesn’t get you first.

  13. Jelavic is a diddy hyped up by the Sluutish Press..he’s a cheat and a baby player…..

     

     

    Hooper will out score him and see him in his wake before the end of the season…

    In that time, we’ve lost THG, McManus, Caldwell, McGeady, Donatti, Crosas, heck, even Fortune could do a turn in the SPL (21 goals+assists in 32 games) left in that time.

     

     

    If you’re going to shell out upwards of £30m in a couple of years, don’t start whinging when it goes arse-up.

  15. Seven Fishes Four Steaks on

    Some quotes from Rangersmedia

     

     

    12 points, 12 points. People on here can dress this up however they want to. Naismith carried this sorry excuse for a manager and the worst team I’ve seen in years.

     

    If we don’t spend this january we can forget the title.

     

    Embarrassing, heartless, effortless money grabbing pricks.

     

    Kris boyd and kenny miller sound good now don’t they.

     

    What has been the worst week of my life made into an even worse one.

     

    10 years I’ve been a season ticket holder and I have never seen anything like this.

     

    I’m so angry I’m almost in tears.

     

    F—-g joke Rangers, joke

     

     

    ————————————————————————

     

     

    Only one man can save this and that’s craig whyte

     

     

    ———————————————————————–

     

     

    Quicker he goes and we get a better manager and whole new idea into this squad of how to play football the better

     

     

    ———————————————————————

     

     

    I wouldnt give him another penny. Hes got to go.

     

     

    I am shaking with rage. He has ruined my Christmas and New Year and my wee boy is sick of hearing about Rangers now,

     

    he has lost all interest, poor lad has had to hear my moaning for the last few weeks.

     

     

    ————————————————————

     

     

    We are an extremely poor side ,and this has been known all season.

     

    I have been a Rangers supporter a long time, and this side is probably the worst iv’e seen

     

     

    Happy New year!!!!

  16. Does anyone remember a TV programme showing Celtic goals to the tune of “If this ain’t love, why does it feel so good”

     

     

    My memory is rubbish and getting worse. But I remember loving that song for years.

    Collum had a good game so disagree with you

    One month in Scotland and they have turned the Panda to the dark side,

  19. Big Packie's Accent on

    A return to old tonight,

     

    with chants of Celtic, Celtic, Celtic……..

     

    reverberating round the stadium,

     

    love that, simple and powerful,

     

    reminds me of European nights as a kid.

  20. Disgusted that Collum kept Healy and Lafferty on the pitch after those assaults. It can only come from management instruction. Absolutely appaling lack of discipline and thuggery yet again from Rangers. When will Scottish officials and press condemn these actions?

    lets get one thing straight here elbows didnt hurt kyal. time some here stop telling lies

     

     

    A truly comical and ill-judged post on such a stellar night for the Hoops.

     

     

    Keep them coming, my glass-completely-empty friend…………..

     

     

    pigalle

  22. Thought it was going to be one of them days today. Was due off the rig today, the timing was perfect to drive straight to the game, then home to see the wife and weans and wish them a Merry Christmas. Didn’t get off due to the winds.

     

     

    Being amongst huns here though i’m almost glad i didn’t.

  23. CSB

     

     

    There are tims everywhere!!!

     

     

    Wouldn’t mind a sneaky move for Jason Roberts, could tempt Steve Kean with money + Mo Banguar??? I mean, it will fulfill mo’s dream of joining a premiership club???

     

     

    :) just a thought

  24. I am Neil Lennon - LTPS on

    Agree that the whole team were immense tonight but Victor gets special mention from me.

     

     

    He set the tone at the start of the game. Winning every 50:50 and even some 30:70s.
