Scottish Fitba'

Ended up watching all of the Rangers game as it turned into a crazy old match.

I don't think I've ever seen such a poor Rangers side, they dominated even before the red but have almost no technical quality and nothing remotely decent up front. It seems every attack is to create a slight overload so someone can whip in a cross. In end to end games like last week they look better but against anyone that parks the bus they look so bad.

Even so I can't believe they didn't win that one. Very dubious decision from VAR at the end where it looked like they bottled it completely.
If you are talking about the penalty claim, it was clearly outside the box. Even Kris Boyd admitted it wasn’t a penalty.

It should have been a free kick, the ref got it wrong, not sure VAR can award free kicks?

I said at the time nothing would be given as it was too much of a big call.

It looked like contact was very close to the box but I didn't watch the reviews after the game, so could be wrong. Seems mad VAR could've got involved if it was a penalty but not a free kick and red? Another reason why the whole thing needs to get in the bin.
 
The poor team has been good enough to see off Celtic recently.
Hearts champs, Rangers 2nd is my prediction.

The only difference is Rohl has come in and done a very good job. That side is still lacking quality all over the park. Still very much in the title though, the pressure on Hearts will ramp up massively towards the end of the season.

They could have given a red card if it was justified, but there were covering defenders. The ref should have given a free kick and maybe a yellow. VAR is blameless in this instance.
 
The old “Kris Boyd said” deflection. Chris Sutton was quite convinced it was a penalty describing it as “a shocker” decision.

Hard to tell where the contact happened, the replays that were shown were pretty poor and vague.
It was pretty clear on the replays they showed after the game and the entire panel agreed it wasn’t a penalty.

Never heard what Sutton had to say as I was too busy watching Celtic throwing the league away.
 
Gone a bit quiet on the 'Hearts bursting bubble' front. ;)

I did say a while ago that the top seven teams were all capable of taking points off each other.
I did not think it would go down as far as the 12th team

Hearts need 20 points from 10 games to win the league, more basically they need to win seven more games.
Our injured top players start coming back next week (y)

Just read that Motherwell have only lost 3 times this season, they looked superb against Rangers to be fair, lots of twists to come yet I’d say in this title race.
 
I would probably puts Hearts as slight favourites to win now. Celtic just don't have the goals in the team. I read yesterday that Inehacho(not sure of spelling) is our top scoring cf with 3 goals. Add a general weakness throughout the squad we'll be lucky to hold of Motherwell for 3rd. How this has happened in such a short period is staggering.
 
Notwithstanding the trials and tribulations of the OF, try being a StJ supporter at the moment. The fear of ‘blowing it’ is awful and is generating such negativity. However the antidote to Fear is Faith. We must have faith…and so I say to Hearts fans as I say to StJ fans - have Faith. And to fans of Thistle and the OF? Sorry…you can remain fearful 😉😘

You can say that again. :love:

Rest of Scotland hoping for a OF 0-0 draw at the weekend with at least 4 red cards. 😈
