Nose Surrender !!!

This is nothing to get your nose bent out of shape over.

fuck it, if you can't get the ball , get the man....intae these shower of cunts Motherwell

The comments ill advised as they were sure beats the hell out of Stuart McCalls vibes on the lead up to the rangers games. Will no doubt come back to haunt us but it was funny.

Aye the build up is going to be about us being physical again and any strong challenge we make is going to have the South Stand in uproar. The club captain shouldn't be mocking injuries in the media at any point but it's even worse when we are bottom of the league and pointless.

Sorry Peter completely wrong thing to say and now I believe going to be in trouble with the compliance officer, so possible ban/fine imposed for a stupid comment.

As much as I love hartley and his no nonsense attitude,his comments here were unwise,you can be sure thomson will have it in for him before a ball is even kicked,he should be concentrating on his own game and not get involved in stuff that the media is going too jump all over,if were on the wrong end of the scoreline he's going too make himself look foolish,but having said that I hope we get tore right in about this lot on sunday.

No team talk required for Gerrard. Big Hartley just done it for him. I wish he would keep his mouth shut and just concentrate on his own game. Gave away cheap free kicks at Easter Road and v Accies so he should concern himself more about that.

Of course it does. When you build a reputation as a team of hard men where the captain is making public statements about enjoying breaking peoples' noses, any ref - good or bad - is going to view every tackle from a different perspective. And if a bad decision is made, people on an appeals panel are going to be thinking along similar lines. It's human nature. That's why players like Jim Goodwin were always under constant scrutiny from the refs. His reputation meant that every tackle was subject to microscopic scrutiny. A good ref is likely to be influenced by statements like that. If the refs are as bad as you make out, do you think they have sufficient skills to ignore that kind of thing?

Yep. Offered a square go with Morales before the Cup Semi Final. Worked an absolute treat too

I've got the fear a bit about Sunday to be honest with you but hopefully I'm totally wrong.. I don't think Rangers are brilliant but they are certainly looking very solid at the back and have improved their quality in the majority of positions. Still, on our day we can give them a good game but everyone needs to be on it. To me, this isn't a game for a midfield containing both Bigi and Gorrin. Yes, I want us to play more football generally speaking but against Rangers probably isn't the place for it. A happy medium can be achieved by having one of them in the team but having another combative player (Rose) in the middle of the park. If there is a game to play sh*tfest football and rough up the opposition, Fir Park against the Old Firm is probably the place. I'd like to see us get back to the pressing and harrying we had at some points last season. For example the way we played against Celtic at home, we made the park small and pressed high at any opportunity. I don't feel like we have done this properly for some time now. I like Hartley and on the face of it love the comments he has made but once you take a step back and think about it has he just given Gerrard his team talk for Saturday? Not sure it's the brightest. On the pitch, everyone needs to step up on Sunday. I wasn't at Livi last week but it still doesn't sound like we were back to any sort of great level of performance. I'd like to see the likes of Chrissy Cadden start to get it together, I love Cadden but I don't feel like we've seen anything from him for some time now. Time for some of these guys to provide a better than average perfomance. That's what we will need to get any sort of result on Sunday.

Exactly the sort of comment that comes back to bite you.

Comments attributed to Peter Hartley in the tabloids won't help matters. What an absolutely stupid thing to say (if true, of course). https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/peter-hartley-warns-rangers-no-13125302

Behave yourself!

I won't manage this one. Got a christening to go to, a right kafflick wan tae.

Time for the manager to remind the press of his red card statistics from last season.
