Did I hear Caldwell right. Did he say, when talking about United being denied a penalty that Kevin Clancy would be glad that he was unsighted. What does that mean. Is Clancy a Celtic fan. More likely it confirms what many of us believe that referees do not want to give game changing decisions against the Old Firm.

The BBC website has Rangers committing 16 fouls and Motherwell 9.

100% this
This is a very strange of game for a Rangers man to highlight.This Was The day my hatred for all things Rangers was confirmed. Motherwell 2-0 up and all over them then the crowd could not take any more and invaded the pitch. The game was changed and Rangers eventually won 5-3. No action taken by the League or the SFA. if my club had been involved in something like this I would want it buried and forgotten about. Yet another shameful day in Rangers history.

Had zero idea he was a Motherwell fan. Pretty gutted about the whole thing now.
I vaguely knew the family and his grandpa was on the Motherwell board back in the sixties and seventies

Keeper being off his line is irrelevant. There needs to be 2 players between the attacker and the goal; defender on the line was one, so the decision is whether Gallagher was playing Irvine on or not.
Sportscene showed clearly that Gallagher was a yard beyond the goalscorer. Clearly offside.

It was not a "shocking refereeing howler" by any stretch - it was a really tight decision.If your team had lost a goal like that you would be shocked. It was a yard offside but what rankles is the unanswered question. Did the linesman see the Motherwell defender on the line and so gave the goal forgetting that Kelly was out of his goal.
Anyway good luck on Monday against the soft penalty eleven.

Shelly Kerr justified Hibs second goal standing because it was a lovely move. They pretty well skimmed over a shocking refereeing howler.

I am raging at that second goal. Do the officials not know the rules.? When a goalie steps up they should be looking for an offside just like this. Glossed over on Sportscene. Imagine the meltdown if a big club had gone out on a decision like that.

Call the stand after the bustling centre forward who left us to go to Aberdeen and is now At Shrewsbury.

I learned recently that guid hoanest laddie & shroo ball enthusiast John 'Yogi' Hughes nickname comes from another John 'Yogi' Hughes known for his lengthy service to Celtic & being part of the Lisbon Lions squad albeit not taking part in the final.
Picture is from his swansong Celtic game against Airdrie on September 25th 1971. Hughes would then move onto Crystal Palace then Sunderland where his career ended due to injury. After playing Hughes had a spell coaching defunct junior team Baillieston then a season at Stranraer & lastly a role as the first ever manager of the SJFA international team. Internationally Hughes collected 8 caps & scored once for Scotland plus 6 appearances & 4 goals for the Scottish League XI.
If anyone could id the Airdrie players to sate my curiosity that'd be sound.I am pretty sure the ground is Love Street and the player is Cammy Murray of St Mirren

With the absolute shambles he created at Hearts you would think Levein would be too embarrassed to even talk about Hearts. Someday a pundit will hopefully ask him if he feels any responsibility for their situation.

Top of the terracing looks too low for Cathkin and were the trees there in the late 50s like there are now? Old photos suggest otherwise.
Think we shouldn't be so quick to dismiss East End Park. Can't think of any other Scottish league ground from that era with scope for having trees like that, because usually there isn't higher ground behind the top of the terracing.

Look at they beets!
I’ll bet you never had a broken metatarsal in one of those beauts!Pretty sure that's my theatre of dreams named after the trees - Fir Park.

Why has the game with St Johnstone been cancelled? Aberdeen must have 11 or 12 players at some level who are covid free. Youth and reserve players usually train separated from the first team. Let all these rookies play in the game and punish the players who went out on the town and the club. Would serve as a warning to others. We would also see the players who were missing and therefore be able to identify the idiots.

Has anyone on Sportsound ever tried to explain why 14-10-10-10 was rejected. I'm not in the know but surely someone could make the following points
1 The crumbs that fall after the big two have taken the bulk of the money will now be divided twelve ways instead of ten.
2 Middle and lower ranking clubs could find themselves in what in effect would be an spl b from mid January onwards. Missing out on a third game against bigger clubs would be another financial hit.
3 The chances of relegation would be greater. Ignoring the playoffs, 2 from 14 is a bigger percentage than 1 from 10 and two from the bottom eight is higher than 1 from a bottom six.
A discussion programme should be balanced and explain both sides of the argument.
I have not heard anyone say that Hearts action is damaging every club in Scotland and their claim for 8-10 million is ridiculous.

IIRC Kilbowie was in a bit of a hollow. The road at one end seemed to be higher up than you would have expected.
I don't remember mounds of earth, Kilbowie was quite a neat stadium with bench seats on the terraces.
The Clydebank area was heavily bombed in WW2 and there was a rumour that a bomb crater in the middle of the pitch had been filled in using a wrecked double decker bus. I don't think they found one when the ground was cleared for redevelopment but it was a nice myth.
The ground where the bus was allegedly buried was Glenhead in nearby Duntocher. It was where Duntocher Hibs played. When they folded it was taken over by Drumchapel Amateurs who then resurrected the Duntocher name for a few seasons. When Clydebank reformed as a Junior club they played there before moving to Yoker.

Was that the Bo'ness game against Arthurlie?
Falkirk must have made some money from the junior cup in those days. In 1976 Bo'ness played Lanark there. They gave the crowd a s12000 yet I knew people who were locked out and couldn't get in. It was absolutely packed.

I do not understand why the BBC continue to cover Sevco games. The hierarchy at Ibrox refuse to speak to BBC journalists and pundits. We get Billy Dodds or Chick Young holed up in a cupboard reporting on games from Ipox. Then they read out a quote lifted from Sky or BT from SlippyG. It is like the spotty guy in school running after some lassie who ignores him.
The free publicity they give this horrible institution is an insult to licence payers.

Some comments on St Mirren's newish stadium here, If that is the road we ever go down when and if we move from Fir Park then lets hope we don't have anything like that. The shallow rake of the stand meant that I had no idea what was happening at the other end, St Mirren hit the post but from where I was it could have been a save or a block. I was unaware of any hand balls until I saw the highlights. I had no notion of how close O'Hara came to score in the second half. I rarely go to away games now and if that is what is on offer at these new parks I don't see me increasing my attendance. I seem to remember going to Falkirk a few years ago and having a much better view from behind the goals because their stand was steeper. Yet they get criticised for not completing their park. Maybe two steep stands either side rather than four shallow stands is the way to go. Viewing a game from behind the goal is not for me.

That aside you guys were well worth your win yesterday, although we were absolutely awful. And as ever your support conducted themselves impeccably inside and outside the ground. I got chatting to a few walking back up the road yesterday, proper gents as Rangers fans tend do be in my experience.
So you think singing about a dead hunger striker and being up to their knees in blood is impeccable behaviour. Songs that were clearly being sung on Sunday and are totally irrelevant to football. The club that promotes sectarianism in order to increase their revenue so they do nothing about it. And what are the orange training tops all about? Oh wait a minute I just worked it out.

I must have been to Moor Park on occasions into double figures over the years and never until yesterday realised the railway line ran so close to the back of it...for some reason the line does a weird loop when approaching Lanark and comes in from the other direction right behind the park.
There is a disused line even closer to Moor Park than the current line from Glasgow. It ran out to a station that served the race course. The remnant of the line can be seen by the dismantled bridge when you enter Lanark from the Biggar side. If you park at Lanark Loch you can walk along the old line and get a good view of the ground.

I often think if you are a defender at one of the smaller clubs, Well, Killie St Johnstone etc then your job is harder than a defender at Celtic. One of the most bizarre call ups recently was the boy Hendry of Celtic. He had played almost every game in a Dundee side getting battered every week, got transferred to Celtic in January and after being in and out of Celtics team got capped. Now Celtic are trying to punt him. With Declan in the side I have taken an interest again on how Scotland get on.

Just checked through the thread and didn't realise that this was was your 1st post. Nothing about the game, payers, how it might go, the performance or the result.
Just came on to your own teams match thread to be angry about opposing fans Jackets.
Minter.
Why do you want to discuss the crowd?

This thread makes depresses me . Celtic fans with their balaclavas to make them look like IRA men and Rangers with their red hand of Ulster flags. There are only two clubs in Scotland who rely on bigotry to promote themselves. I have not been to Parkhead or Ibrox for 15years and have no intention of ever going again. I hope we pump them tomorrow but if we lose 8-0 it won't bother me. These two clubs are irrelevant to me. I have no interest in this game unless we win hopefully with goal that should have been disallowed .

If all this is true then surely the board are aware of the problem. It is also quite simple to fix.. Get in an experienced manager who can revamp the training and motivate the players. The players must believe on what they are being asked to do. Too many of our players have regressed. It looks like they do not believe in the tactics and what they are being told to do.. There is only one solution change the manager and do it before it is too late.
