Celtic going backwards under Brendan?

Usually waits a couple of years before losing the plot. At least he broke the habit of a lifetime in midweek and won in Europe.

He's crap now though think it's their weakest squad in many years too, Jota going was the last little bit of magic they had. Hatate is pretty good too but injured, O'Riley not bad, though too slow for the top level and that's about it. They should expect better, most of their signings are shit and not sure they even punch equal to their weight in europe let alone above it though that's not just a Brendan thing.

Heard Stan Collymore (

) on the radio yesterday claiming that Celtic and Rangers if they were in the PL would be the biggest two clubs within a decade with their worldwide support, etc.

Their worldwide support probably extends to East and West Belfast and no further.

Rangers have been so wasteful in front of goal. Looked like they should have a penalty for handball as well.

DelTrotter · « **Reply #4327 on:** December 30, 2023, 01:20:53 pm »

Lively game, insane Rangers didn't get a penalty, he basically swiped the ball out of play with his hand

Yeah it's been frantic, only bit of quality was the finish for the Celtic goal, Rangers have had a couple of good breaks but far too much dithering has cost them, & the officials on VAR must be Celtic fans, not awarding hat penalty.

Yep, enjoyable game

I'm astonished they didn't give it. VAR said no so quickly as well. I'd be fuming if I was a Rangers fan.

Pistolero · « **Reply #4332 on:** December 30, 2023, 01:30:47 pm »

Definite penalty ...clearly VAR sucks sweaty yarbles north of the border as well as down here...

Statto Red · « **Reply #4333 on:** December 30, 2023, 01:31:23 pm »

Seen that again in the half time review, how was that not a penalty,

was blatant handball, & to add insult to injury Rangers didn't get a corner either, VAR officials are just as bad in the SPL as in the premier league.

DelTrotter · « **Reply #4334 on:** December 30, 2023, 01:38:58 pm »

VAR officials now saying a Rangers player was offside, in the build up to the nonm penalty award, looks tight one though.

oojason · « **Reply #4339 on:** December 30, 2023, 01:49:47 pm »

Ha. Sky Sports commentaries complaining about being kept in the dark about VAR decisions!

All the viewers at home must be thinking alog the lines of 'er... hello?! How much are we paying you guys again? We've always been kept in the dark re VAR - now more than ever'...

In the 53rd minute of the match - around 30 minutes after the handball incident in the 1st half - Sky tell us that...

'Rangers penalty claim in the first-half has now been deemed to have been offside in the build-up'

nasty challenge that, he should be off, but got away with it.

DelTrotter · « **Reply #4341 on:** December 30, 2023, 01:56:09 pm »

Fuck sake, just had a little bet on a sending off and the ref totally shits out of a nailed on second yellow

Now Johnston on a yellow smashes someone in the face with his elbow and nothing

Don't understand why it's taken best part of second half to show the offside? Keeping everyone in the loop

Aberdeen about to name as their new manager.... (drumroll please)...Mr Colin Wanker.

I'm very disappointed with this news. Not least cos it means that Ireland might still appoint Neil fucking Lennon as our new international manager.
