both kayal and McCulloch both connected with the ball squarely with straight legs. McCulloch jarred his leg because he kept it straight throughout the tackle. Kayal bent his leg at the last minute (****ebag) and got injured. these things happen. Also Maybe it was tam wrong yin wot dun it
That's one possibility, the other (more likely) possibility is that McCulloch is a dirty bastard. 9 Career Red Cards seems to suggest that he is - as I have argued - a dirty ****ing ****.
Not since the halcyon days of Terry Hurlock, Ian (Fergie) Ferguson and Tam Forsyth has a Rangers player personified the thuggish, kick anything that moves, image of a player which Celtic fans believe to be ubiquitous in any Rangers side. I give you (as if you'd want him) the one and only Lee "Elbows" McCulloch. I have actually given up trying to keep track of his litany of appalling fouls because he seems to lead a somewhat charmed life. I can think of a couple of shocking "challenges" (at least) for which he went unpunished, both against Aberdeen if memory serves. I detest him with a passion, not because he is a Gers player, simply because he has no redeeming qualities whatsoever. He may be a charming gregarious, individual off the park (doubtful) but on the field of play he is a danger to any opposition player who has more ability and skill than he seems to posess (Just about every player in Scotland by that reckoning). In a word, a Ned. The sooner him and his like (not that there are that many) are resigned to the dustbin of football history the better place the SPL will be. He may not have actually injured Kayal with his "Over the ball" challenge in the OF game but the intent was certainly there as it has been on so many occasions in the past.
Lafferty's another dirty bastard too. See the number of times he slides in late when a defender is clearing a ball? Does it too often to be anything other than a planned course of action.
I might be wrong here , not really studied mcculloch career to be truthful but I can't remember any thuggish behaviour at Motherwell , Wigan or Scotland , is it at Rangers he knows he will get away with it ??? His elbow against young Paton of Aberdeen still annoys me today , how the sfa never investigated that shows the corruption in Scottish football
You're right, if ever we needed proof that Scottish football is corrupt we now have it with the fact the SFA didn't investigate an alledged elbow by McCulloch on an Aberdeen player
Obviously as a Rangers fan you don't understand football , that elbow by mcculloch was disgusting and meant and the sfa did nothing about it , the week before the old firm game!!!!. It was just one of plenty strange / corrupts decisions that season as the sfa / refs ensured Rangers didn't go bust
I dont believe that McCulloch went into the challenge looking for anything more than the ball. It was as the Rangers fans on here claim, a good ol' fashioned 50/50. The problem is: McCulloch just aint that good, he may try his heart out, but he times a tackle like Broadfoot times a hard boiled egg. The elbow incident was brutally obvious to anyone watching, how the hell the SFA could justify not pulling him up for that beggars belief, and i dont believe that its due to conspiracy to ensure the title went to Rangers, remember bhoys, we blew the title ourselves, even with the dodgy decisions that we did or did not get. We still had the title in our OWN hands. So can we PLEASE drop the B/S about the SFA helping Rangers to win the league so they wouldnt go bust crap. Corruption and bias will always be synonymous with football, but its time all the whining and bitching about the SFA, Officials aiding Rangers etc etc.. We win our games we win the league, aint much the SFA, Officials or Rangers can do or say about it. If we are good enough, we will win.... MON era anyone? Strachan era anyone? Now we are not winning titles, we all spit the dummy and claim its no fair!!! Grow up FFS!!!!
Cos he love getting stuck in to you mhanky bastards. And his handshaking ability allowed refs to be biased towards us. Obviously.
Our greatest players Jimmy Johnstone and Henrik Larsson also did it on the big stage , the European one , yet Jonn Greig gets yours for he used to go around kicking us !!! There is the mentality difference between the two clubs , we want to play the game the correct way ,you want to stop the other team playing through kicking or referees errors .
On an overall basis yes i would it doesn't just boil down to how good a player he actually was. Harry you're obviously just a fanny and I'm not even sure your age is what you say it is anymore because if it was true you would have respect for Jim Baxter.
So you think Greig was better than Baxter? Even I've got more respect for Slim Jim than that - I met him when I was young - he seemed like a gent. Greig was to blame for the goal that Rangers blamed Fergie for - robbing you of the greatest manager of the modern age (this, to date, is still my dad's favourite ever goal).
