We were pish. Certainly. Had the ref played the full allocation of added time that he had indicated and we created another opportunity and snuck a draw it certainly would not have been deserved.
They deserved to win but: 2 sendings off ledley's penalty claim stoke's offside 1 of their goals being offside Imagine if that was ****ing Man U V Chelsea or something, the nation would go into disarray
As you can see by this thread, all Celtic fans are in hiding, just like they were at the final whistle at Ibrox whilst the tricolours flew themselves
We are wary of complaing too much lest we be accused of being "Paranoid". As soon as we call into question a decision made by the Ref, according the the Law of Rangers Fans, we are suggesting that the official had an ulterior motive or wore a sash in his spare time.

I'm embarrassed for him. I am going to watch some hurling now. I may be back on at half time. I feel I have to account for my whereabouts.
"The Celtic fans have come to party regardless of the score. They would have been louder had they been winning but they are trying not to let Rangers fans enjoy it as much as they'd like by reminding them that they are going to win the league." "I am confused. The Celtic fans are enjoying the moment here. Rangers have won but more Celtic fans are celebrating than Rangers. It's weird. I've never known anything like this."
Certainly was an early whistle. Very disappointing display and result but have to say, credit to Rangers players - they were hungry, physical and well up for it as every man and his dog knew would be the case.....so I'm puzzled as to why Neil Lennon set up the team starting with Cha Du-Ri and Ki Sung-Yueng and Anthony Stokes up front on his own - basically, inviting Rangers to attack freely right from the start. I know it's easily said afterwards but I didn't like the look of it at all from the line-out - very poor tactics IMO. Soft red cards spoiled the game - it's an absolute disgrace allowing refs to have such an affect on the game. Still, to get beaten by one goal with only nine men......could have been much worse! Doesn't look like we're going to tie up the league next week either - can't see Motherwell even getting a draw never mind beating them. We really need to go grab this title for ourselves - and I want to see a bit more passion in our play from all of our players in doing so.
Aplostpasswordshame Seems to be trying to bring Celtic posting level to a new low. I cannot believe any Celtic fan playing from the 30 min against two extra men and for long periods of 2nd half against 3 extra men. I have no doubt the referee was carrying out instructions as he could not have got the major decisions so wrong without been under instructions. Just look at the speed he had whipping out the card for a very innocuous tackle by Cha, and the slowness and little tap on the arm of apology he gave to the Rangers player for reluctantly having to send him off. I foolishly thought that Mr Regan was correct when he pleaded last season to give him time until this season. Last week's non giving of a stonewall penalty in the closing minutes and Celtic 's receipt of two red cards and no yellow card and not one Rangers player really touched. Rangers got one yellow and one red, eventually, just like what Dallas did in 1999 (I think). Rangers ran into crowd when they scored even the off side 2nd goal, but of course no yellow. Today has reminded all Celtic fans why we need to rid ourselves of the perpetual cheaters Rangers. Proper football cannot exist with Rangers around, they don't know any other way other than cheating.
****in' Yes!!!! 1-17 to 1-15 Conor Lehane motm. He has the skills to pay the bills.....it is an amateur sport, so I imagine he has the skills to get an advertising deal that will help with the bills.
The start was nothing other than what I expected. Rangers had to come out the blocks at full speed, as it was do or die for them today. I thought we got to the 20 minute mark, although a goal down, looking not too bad, having missed a couple of good chances. Game changer - Cha's red card. In that position, with Wallace in on goal, if it's a foul it's a red. The only problem being, it wasn't a foul to begin with... I'm letting myself in for a doing here as I've never said it on here before, but being a ref myself, we actually got lectured this week on how if a player goes down, it doesn't automatically have to be either a foul or a caution for simulation. Players can come together and fall without it being a free kick. And how too many decisions were being made for yellow and red cards for situations that aren't even free kicks. Well congrats Mr Murray, but you've just earned yourself a few weeks refereeing in Division 3, along with being the star of the video we're now gonna have to sit and watch all ****ing week telling us how much of a **** he made of it. Wanyama - Definite red. No arguments. And the linesman made two poor calls as well. Rangers 2nd goal I would let him away with, as its impossible for him to see who it was who flicked the ball on to Wallace at the back post. The Stokes offside is a shocker though. Pen and Bocanegra - Right decision for the pen, but the fact Calum you had to ask your ****ing 4th official who it was who committed the foul makes you look inept yet again. Beyond that, we struggled when we went down to 10, and it looked like the game was over. Couple of late goals have glossed over the fact that it could have ended up a 3 or 4 goal margin. Final point, is reflecting on the game, I had originally been disappointed in our performance, but having had a thought about it - before Cha gets sent off, which team had the better chances?
