The standard response when you’ve got no argument against the facts provided.

Yes it was. And Trusty’s was a red card.

No, not “what about Celtic”. That’s an utterly pathetic response to highlighting some facts which question a claim that one team gets all the decisions and is part of the reason why Celtic have the media and everyone else dancing to their tune over this. Celtic went over 80 domestic matches without a red card. That is a statement of fact and one which is perfectly reasonable to point to when it is being claimed that another club benefits more than most or that it’s being going on for decades as you say. And just to highlight another small example. In our recent game against Celtic Liam Scales who was on a yellow card was able to commit several fouls without seeing a second yellow and then a red. But I don’t remember too many people bubbling about that or much in the way of any mention of it in the media. Indeed the last time a Celtic player was red carded at Fir Park was Tom Boyd in the early 1990s. I’m not saying it’s deliberate cheating, but there is definitely one club in this country who holds a massive sway over the match officials. And that club isn’t Rangers. It’s more down to fear of repercussion more than anything else. Celtic are the club after all who caused a refereeing strike. If highlighting that makes me a Rangers apologist or whatever to you and others then do you know what, so be it. I prefer to see it as looking at this objectively and giving an opinion based on that.

Ahh drum pounding. A very mature and measured response. I’m simply stating some facts and some home truths. That Killie’s red card last night was the first time a domestic opponent of Rangers has been sent off since May 2024. Almost two years. And at the same time Celtic went over 80 domestic matches without receiving a red card. And lo and behold when both of those runs are finally ended all hell breaks loose and the conspiracy theorists come crawling out the woodwork.

The usual baloney and chest thumping outrage when Rangers get a decision running rife in this thread I see. And as usual only the facts and stats that suit the tired old nonsensical claim that “Rangers get everything” are put forward while the ones that don’t are just ignored. For example, the red card that Killie received last night was actually the first time an opponent of Rangers has seen red in a domestic game since May 2024. But you won’t read that in the media because they dance to Celtic’s tune and so for the same reason very little was made of Celtic going over 80 domestic matches without receiving a red card. Indeed only Derek McInnes alluded to this the other week after the Hearts v Celtic game. The usual suspects in the media who would have been all over that stat like a rash if Rangers had benefited from even half of that number of games in the same way as they were a few years back with the ‘Penalty to Rangers’ carry on were surprisingly nowhere to be seen over that one. Same with all the muppets who buy into and spout that same nonsense. For a team that supposedly get all the decisions and have the officials in their pockets it’s surprising then that the two above stats could be true, but there they are anyway. You see decisions which are baffling and inconsistent compared with similar incidents in other games week in week out, but only when it’s Rangers that benefit then people start foaming at the mouth about cheating and conspiracies. It’s pathetic and just another example of how so many just can’t think for themselves.

Don’t see us winning unfortunately. A narrow loss in normal time or else on penalties. Either way this is as far as we’ll go in the Cup this season.

Our favourite referee, Colin Steven, had no hesitation in spotting that dive tonight. Guarantee he will be the referee these days next time we play Hibs.

It was a stonewaller. Dry your eyes.

Even our own pitch has been looking worse for wear lately, there’s no question the recent weather has played a part in that. But this game surely should have been called off earlier? 9am this morning at the latest I would have said. The forecast was well known for the last few days yet it’s left to a 2.30pm inspection the inevitable result of which isn’t confirmed until about ten to four. That’s poor stuff yet again.

And it took them an hour and a half to come to that conclusion? Shambles

0-0 draw

Great first half and the job was done by half time. Still unbeaten in that light blue Steelworks kit too

We do love a 2-0 win don’t we?

Brilliant stuff. We genuinely are a proper No.9 type goalscorer away from being genuine league contenders this season. Mental to even say that but it’s true.

You get away with a lot more if you are actually delivering results on the park. Jens has us playing the best football since McGhee’s first season and he’s getting results from it. Alexander on the other hand was making unnecessary changes week after week and the football was awful but benefited from a huge slice of luck with other teams cutting their own throats.

Fancy us to dish out another pumping here inspite of that shitter of a pitch. 1-4 away win and our unbeaten run in our Light Blue away kit to continue

Tremendous second half performance. Arrogance and swagger personified.

Two cracking goals. That’s all that matters so far.

Big let off there by the looks of it.

I can see today being a frustrating struggle for some reason. Either 1-1 or a 1-2 loss

Absolute nightmare draw

It certainly wasn’t great and the team selection was questionable but Ross County were always coming here to make things as difficult as possible for us and spoil the game to their own advantage. They managed that to a point but fortunately we had the quality in our best player to undo their efforts. We won and we’re in the next round so how it looked to the paying punter or as a spectacle is irrelevant. Cup ties are all about winning and we did that today.

On a sour note I’m hearing rumours of a ‘Well fan kicking a Greggs sausage roll right of of a pal of Kettlewell’s neighbours wee boy’s hand before the game. Some Motherwell fans really are awful people. ☹️ ☹️ ☹️

Job done and well done. Hopefully a good draw in the next round and please…strongest eleven selected regardless of who it’s against.

Who Fucking Else!?!? TJ our talisman!!!
