are absolutely symptomatic of everything that is wrong with our game in Scotland.
Lenient refereeing and an attempt to physically intimidate if not actually attempt to injure the best footballers on the park demonstrates perfectly why our game is where it is in terms of the game worldwide.
No doubt Stuart McCall issued his players with orders to play exactly as they did. So until we rid our game of Neanderthals like him our game will only continue to fall further and further behind football powerhouses like Jamaica, South Africa, Armenia and Australia.
So well done Stuart. No doubt the press in Scotland will continue to give you so much more credit than you actually deserve.

Simple answer to that is Rangers can't afford to pay the refs anymore so we have taken over

It's nothing to do with the amount of fouls. It was how bad they were. At first I thought good on the ref for keeping his cards in his pocket but as it went on it was getting ridiculous. Regardless of team if the players know they aren't getting booked for fouls they will go in harder to try to put the other team off.
It's happened for years which is why refs pull the cards out quicker these days.

Jinky - you always come on win, lose or draw, sometimes youre still at CP it would appear! 12 points is massive this season primarily because the competition is even poorer than in previous seasons! I do not fear our defence losing goals though an injury to Jelavic prior to January could prove problematic to say the least! NOW you have momentum you have an international break! Youd hate for Samaras to get injured now!!!!

I try and get to the games as much as possible i always go in hospitality so after the game stay for a few drinks, but even if I am at the game still come on here after as love the banter
As for Jelavic top player you will do well to hold on to him in the jan window, big Sam will be fine

I've been a celtic supporter all my life and a season ticket holder for ten and then four years (I had to give it up for a while when my son was born) but I have NEVER experienced hospitality. I just can't afford it. You must be minted!!
