Dreadful from defender and then goalie formZimbabwe
-
Brilliant goal from the middle of the park. Is JT the striker we've been looking for? ššš
-
Only good point is , it didn't happen v us, but I'm sure something will crop up Tues
-
Seemingly Regan Charles Cook will be out for a few weeks. The extent of his injury is being assessed.

Where is it possible to see the game?
-
Just turned it on in time. Great goal!!!!
-
Our man just scored a screamer.
- Today
-
Yet they would still complain if he was eligible to play
-
What a January window signing that is. Brilliant news that we have him for a full season. Some of the social media comments from Celtic fans are breathtaking lol āglad heās goneā āfound his levelā āgood, heās pishā these guys are clowns, the boy is a good player and better than what they have.
-
The standard is dreadful, the north Aftican teams are not bad but the rest are brutal, a half decent European club side would beat most of them.
-
Hopefully JT on a plane heading back here tomorrow edit: ok! Not here but Motherwell
-
My take was that it hit defenderās arm but was pushed into it by Celtic player. Never a pk
-
Totally agree. As Iāve said all along, itās the idiots operating VAR, not the technology itself. Rangers and Celtic have benefited from this level of incompetence and cheating for decades, VAR or no VAR, while the rest of the league suffers. The only real solution is to bring in officials untainted by the sectarian nonsense that infects the Scottish game. Itāll never happen because the SFA is a shambles, but we should return to the 2010 strike model and hire neutral, top-tier officials from Europe.

Over the decades, I've seen both halves of the gruesome twosome benefit consistently from poor officiating. No difference whatsoever between them. There's a number of reasons for that, all of which have been covered here. VAR is not at fault; its the poor officiating behind it. That won't change
-
Agree with this. No conspiracy but certainly incompetence is an issue with referees and VAR officials. We recall examples of when Motherwell were wronged, but speaking to fans of other Clubs they can easily trot out numerous examples involving their own team. No doubt there is a subconscious fear of calling it wrong and the subsequent media reaction. That does play a part. More so if the OF are disadvantaged. But all teams suffer, including Rangers at times. Maybe just less so. The fact they were denied a Cup Final win by poor officials is a recent example. Even Collum acknowledged that error. Or does pointing out that fact also make me a closet Rangers fan? Or a Liv fan for pointing out how harshly they have been treated all season? Or a Dundee Utd fan if I sometimes agree with Goodwin? Whilst Collum is in charge and there is no accountability nothing will change. VAR or no VAR. Sadly it is something we as fans can do nothing about.

Just watched " pen" , words fail me.
-
Calling it a conspiracy is just an easy way to avoid the bigger picture. Iām not saying āRangers get everythingā, itās about patterns and who benefits over a season in terms of big decisions. If youāre focused on individual incidents, weāre simply looking at this differently.
-
Not seen celtic pen v livi but apparently it's a shocker
-
I'm with you, I thought at time pen, but after seeing it again not as convinced but it sure as hell would've been given up other end.
-
Celtic get as many dodgy decisions if not more but not as much made of it as all the refs are Masons apparently and they have been on the wrong end of decisions for years . All that said Rangers do not bad as well. There will be a dodgy decision on Tuesday, not the most earth shattering prediction , just hope it doesn't affect the score v them
-
I think a contributing factor has been the reduced time the squads have had to train together (thanks to FIFA agreeing to release players later than originally planned). Good for their parent clubs, not so good for their national teams.
-
Not sure why any of this needs to be a conspiracy at all. 1. Our officials are poor and often get decisions abysmally wrong. 2. Big teams always get more decisions in their favour. Especially at home. Its a tale as old as time. 3. There will undoubtedly be unconcious bias with all officials. As human beings, we all have that. As for the penalty. Thought it was a stonewaller in real time. Less so now Ive seen it from the side view. Fernandez hangs his leg out and there is definite contact, so I think its still a pen, but it is of the softer variety. If thats a goalkeeper going to ground and not getting the ball and the attacking player takes the contact and goes down, its being given all day long and he is praised for being "clever". Its 100% given at the opposite end, or at least reviewed by VAR.
