    1. In a game where Rangers have three players sent off and six more booked and Celtic have two players yellow-carded, it must be referred to forever after as the Old Firm Shame Game.

    2. If you're a Rangers player feel free to manhandle the referee. The SFA will let you off.

    3. When running towards the opposition box and someone (supposedly) pulls you back feel free to fall forwards, completely going against all known rules of physics.

    4. If you're a Rangers player don't worry if the referee has his back to you, just throw yourself at the ground in the opposition penalty box. Where Rangers are concerned, refs have well established Extra Sensory Powers.

    not really shameful. not as if they were straight reds.

    you know the real shame game was 99 league title triumph at the building site

    changed scottish football forever maybe?

    PS I was too young to remember the REAL shame game so it's null and void

    I never said it was shameful. That's just how things are viewed by the 'succulent lamb' MSM.

    I don't think a Rangers fan is in a position to talk about shame games. Really? Nearly every game you played in the 2000s (and possibly before if your former Board member is correct) was a shame game, you tax avoiding fiddlers you!

    1999 old firm game that Rangers fans wrecked Celtic Park with vandalism never seen before, which the Scottish media kept quiet about because David Murray had the press in his pocket .

    You have to be more specific as unfortunately there have been quite a few of these over the years.

    Both good young managers but Lennon shades it , look at what he has had to put up with . Any other manager would have walked, even Smith said he would have been for the off .

    Okay Harry I was joking with you over Lambert. I acknowledge the insane pressure Lennon was under and fair enough he stuck it out.

    I actually think the best young managers in the country at the moment would be McColl of Motherwell or Hartley at Alloa. While there is an unrealistic amount of expectation put upon old firm managers look at the resources they have in comparison with the smaller clubs. You will remember when bosses had what amounted to apprenticeships before they got the big job Harry. Ferguson at East Stirling and St Mirren, McNeill at Aberdeen, Waddell at Kilmarnock and so forth. Lambert and the two I've mentioned seem to be taking this route.

    It then seemed if you were a major player you just automatically moved into a top job Souness, Greig,Barnes and Dalglish being examples. Perversely though a lot of the most succesful Scottish managers were not remarkable as players at all, Ferguson, Smith, Stein, McLean, Shankley all spring to mind.

    What are your thoughts on guys like McCoist and Lennon's first real managers posts being at the biggest teams in the country?

    Remember McCall and Lambert both failed in their first jobs in football ,Mccoist would have been sacked if your club hadn't gone into Administration . This morning a spurs fan on Talksport wanted Redknapp out and replaced by Lennon ,loves his passion , least Lennon talent is getting noticed down south.

    I think Lomas and Pressley are doing things the right way.

    McCall...... I just don't see it.

    Lennon. He's made an absolute **** of a lot of things in a very testing environment. He has shown he has learned from these mistakes. For that he deserves credit.

    McCoist..... I don't know. Probably neither do the Huns. He inherited Uncle Walters Auntie Football. The job is to keep the plates spinning......Circumstances have overtaken him. Not his fault.

    If I was looking for a coach in Scotland (I know he hardly counts as young) but I'd have John Hughes about the place every day of every week.

    Passion?

    He's a wee snarling ned that no other club will touch. Only Celtic would have this guy as the face of their club.

    Plus he prone to make mistakes on the big occasions.

    neither lennon nor mccoist should have got anywhere near the managers jobs until they had worked elsewhere and proven their abilities.
