Rather sinister. 

Do you think a penalty should have been awarded to Rangers Benny?

You have taken this defeat particularly badly. It’s a bit concerning. 

Concerning isn’t the word I’d use. Hilarious, wonderful, fantastic, delicious all seem a more bit apt

The strikeforce problems are surprisingly well known to us and doesn't stop us from wanting answers about what went with on with Colum.

 

 

 

 

Do you think Rangers should have been given the penalty Benny?

I genuinely don’t recall many instances at all where I thought Maeda had done Yilmaz or he’d been caught out. That’s the quietest Maeda has been against us as he usually causes us issues with his running.

I don’t recall any of Clement’s comments suggesting he’d seen off Celtic or their manager as Rodgers did. He genuinely has a vanity problem and forgets the fans were revolting a couple of weeks ago.

I don’t expect you to remember everything happened in the match particular when your mindset is firmly in the I’ve been cheated camp

Clement made a bit of a tit of himself yesterday with his comments however he should be congratulated for winning the we had more shots than them trophy.

We can complain about Sevco week in and week out but they need to shut it.

 

Tell me what you think should have happened with that decision yesterday? Do you think Rangers should have been given the pen?

[Celtic V Rangers - Sat 30th December]

My point is mainly that this culture was present before VAR anyway and is not a byproduct of VAR.

Maeda was completely ineffective compared to his usual style and that was mainly down to Ridvan being able to match him pace and stamina wise.

Yeah that explains the half dozen or so positions he got into behind Yilmaz where a better ball or better decision making could have resulted in a shot at goal

You had 1 maybe 2 players who got pass marks yesterday and 1 of them wasn’t Yilmaz 

[Celtic V Rangers - Sat 30th December]

17 minutes ago, AJF said:

It will, aye, though I’m encouraged to see improvements from some of the players already here. I thought Ridvan had one of his best games for us yesterday, completely nullifying Maeda and outmatched his running power.

 

He did f**k all

Maeda was constantly in behind him but luckily for you his final ball is a bad as anything I’ve ever seen

I‘m not asking you anything? You say you’ve gave your opinion on why you don’t think it was a red (Sima came from Johnstone’s blind side) and I am giving my opinion on why I think Johnstone should’ve been sent off. Not a question.

Can you provide a clip of the Sterling challenge and I’ll give my opinion on it.

I don’t have a clip of it but the highlights are on now so I’m sure they will show it.

The still doesn’t look too hot though considering there is a ball nowhere to be seen since Taylor has already cleared it

 

[Celtic V Rangers - Sat 30th December]

8 minutes ago, AJF said:

Ignore the blurb in the tweet about Walsh as it’s a load of waffle, but this clip clearly shows Johnstone throwing out his elbow, catching Sima and ending his game. It’s reckless and a yellow card every day of the week.

 

I gave you my opinion on this so why are you still asking me? My opinion won’t change 

However

I’ve now asked you 3 times if Sterling should have been given a 2nd yellow for the foul on Taylor using your own scale of what merits a yellow card?

You can keep swerving it like the ball off Kyogos left peg that left Goldson and Butland looking like a pair of fannies or Is the question too difficult or are you now doubting the basis of your argument? Surely not

I think that Jinky has had a few tonight,  tying himself up in knots here.

 

 

Then you would be wrong, not a drop. High on life Benny watching you pair of eejits roll out excuse after excuse after excuse for why your team fail.

This is what you said about Johnstone

You are literally trying to blame Sima for catching an elbow to the head that resulted him in failing the concussion protocol 

Shat it, just can’t bring yourself to do it

Fcking outstanding. 

Say’s the eejit referencing that offside is irrelevant

Have another

[Celtic V Rangers - Sat 30th December]

I literally just conceded that the replay shown before doesn’t make it seem as obvious. I still believe he is late into the tackle though after Goldson played the ball.

So your defence of Johnstone escaping a yellow is to reference another incident? Cool. Better than your “he came from Johnstones blind side” argument earlier

I explained why I don’t think Johnstons was a yellow. 

However your description of what a clear yellow was is exactly what Sterling did to Taylor….so…..should it have been a 2nd yellow for Sterling? 

You seem to have issue with people ignoring your questions and you retort by ignoring questions 

You’re no real man

“Can’t finish like Shankland” 

Not sure GT agrees, what a picture

9 minutes ago, AJF said:

I’d say this angle is probably more inconclusive than I first thought. At the time it seemed as though Bernardo was late, with Goldson playing the ball and his right foot stamping down onto Goldson’s left boot. Maybe not so much on that viewing but still second to the challenge.

Still need to hear a defence of Johnstone escaping a second yellow as well.

Thats by no means the reason we lost, but Celtic should’ve had at least 1 red card today IMO.

So not quite as clear a second yellow after all?

And I hate to be pedantic but it’s Johnston and we still need to hear a defence of Sterling on Taylor since that tackle was both late and heavy

Isn't that what Maeda got sent off for in Spain? Gets the ball and the follow though. If Goldson hadn't rolled about there's a fair chance he'd have been booked in a normal league

Yep if anything it’s a foul on Bernardo and Goldsons trying to get him sent off.

In what world is this a booking? 

The world seen through blue tinted tear stained specs.

I’d be fuming to get a yellow for that.

And just to add Balogoun spitting at fans as he went up the tunnel is fucking rank.

I’m sorry but the Bernardo tackle is as clear as a second yellow as you are likely to see. And you’ve described Sima getting an elbow to the head as “Sima jumping in from Johnstones blind side”. You’re no real man.

Then Sterling has to be given a second yellow too for his tackle on Taylor, to suggest otherwise based on what you said merits a yellow card would be utterly disingenuous. 

So why aren’t you calling that out as one of the referees “mistakes”?

We were originally told that the penalty was refused because it was offside, despite that obviously not being the case.

Rangers request the VAR audio.

Then we're told that Collum thought it wasn't a clear and obvious error from Walsh.

 

They can't even keep their story straight. 

 

 

 

So do you think a penalty should have been awarded?

[Celtic V Rangers - Sat 30th December]

Aye sounds like wee Wullie has made a c**t of it but has been saved by the fact that Sima was offside.

Does sound that way however it’s pretty ironic that Rangers fans are having meltdowns about second yellows not being given but want to benefit from a penalty that clearly shouldn’t be given due to offside.

If it wasn’t offside then you can’t argue against it, it should be a penalty

Why Rangers weren't awarded a penalty for Celtic handball incident

VAR official Willie Collum did not feel that referee Nick Walsh had made a clear and obvious error by failing to award Rangers a penalty following an Alistair Johnston handball in their cinch Premiership match against Celtic at Parkhead today. 

Rangers manager Philippe Clement was incensed the Ibrox club were not given a spot kick following a VAR check of the incident just before half-time in a match his side ended up losing 2-1.

However, Collum believed that Walsh had been correct just to give a goal kick because he felt the Celtic player's hand was in a natural position when it made contact with the ball after watching a replay back at Clydesdale House

Ultimately the correct decision is still given because even if Collum thought it was handball then the attacking phase has to be checked which would have highlighted Sima as offside anyway

End result is no penalty

However I’ll caveat that by saying I hope Collum has said what you posted as the meltdown will continue to be epic
