Rangers played a European game on Thursday night aswell, today’s game was no worse than 90% of the games at the World Cup.
Morelos was a soft red, he shouldn’t have reacted under provocation but the linesman should have pulled the 2 blatant shoulder charges on him aswell. Petulant kick no doubt but a harsh red. No booking for the penalty offender or for Stevie who crashed into the back of jack.

May into Jack. What a typical Sevconian statement, you mean when Jack made a back for May to go over him.

Away and pay your bills and give us all peace.
 
Well I guess it didn’t take long for the thread to degenerate into the “Sevco” nonsense

I constantly check the league table and the results and in the UEFA website and then the European draws and I’m still to see this team appear called Sevco - I do see Glasgow Rangers there though - so maybe time to stop all the nonsense at least on here

I think it’s ten English Clubs that have qualified for the CL

Man Utd
Man City
Liverpool
Chelsea
Arsenal
Leeds
Newcastle
Spurs
Leicester
Everton

With only Everton the team who haven’t made the CL group stages

Think all the others have made it into the KO stages from the group stages

Wont see Glasgow in the name of Rangers football club. Common mistake. Like saying Turin Juventus.

On what basis does a team become a class above another after one drawn game with them despite finishing behind them in the league the season previous. If he said this in January then no one would bar an eyelid.

I'm not actually taking a view! Simply stating what Gerrard stated in the interview.

Though perhaps getting that result with 10 against 11 might give him encouragement! Oh, and it's also simply poat-game interview-speak, so pretty much managerial bull!

If my memory serves me correctly, Gerrard wasn't involved with Rangers last year!

Oh. And just to spice it up slightly - as if a Scottish Football needs it - do you fancy a small wager? I'll wager a tenner that Rangers finish higher than Aberdeen this season! And I've no real allegiance, save disliking the dominance of Celtic. I perhaps have historic allegiance to Hearts (though not through the 'of mid-Lithuania' era) but follow, if not suport, Hibs, Rangers and Aberdeen for various reasons!

Your barking up the wrong tree with your bet, I also think Rangers will finish above Aberdeen.

Settle an argument...

Stevie G mentioned the word provokion (sp) in his interview in relation to red card...is that even a word?

Well done rangers for snatching a draw from a certain win.

Also felt SG came across very poorly in post match interview.

What about the mighty Ayr Utd? Flying start from the Honest Men who won promotion last season and have started with 3 points against Partick Thistle. They also helped me with my Ayrshire double along with Kilmarnock.

First and probably only coupon win of the season :rofl:

Is discussion on lower tier Scottish football allowed thread or is it just a thread to lets others show their lack of knowledge within the Scottish top tier?

Celtic have a Champions League game to get ready for on Wednesday evening and I bet loads of English clubs would love to be able to say that. Reckon it may be closer than last season but they should be ok for 8 in a row.

In my humble opinion Scottish football is doing ok although I would like to see more young Scottish players given the chance in the Senior game. Junior game get record crowds and I spent the weekend watching my 10 year old lad playing in The Land O Burns Football Festival. Hundreds of kids and coaches all enjoying football.

On a side note anyone know...

How many different english clubs have qualified for the Champions League since updated format?

The number of clubs who only made it to qualifiers before getting knocked out (be interested to see spread of clubs)

And number of those knocked out in groups/knockout stages?

Is it the same few clubs year in year out?

It was the Scotland Cup at Rozelle.
The Land of Burns is played at The Old Racecourse earlier in the year.

Watched my 12 year old Grandson play on Saturday, his team convincingly won both games and went out in the second finals today [whatever that was, think it was 3rd/4th playoff].


With you on Ayr United, they are on a right roll. Hope they don't sell Shankland.

Must be giving out the same medals for both then...the one he got has Scotland Cup and Land O Burns Festival on it???

Is it the same organisers for both?

Just watched it and certainly would not agree with the above description!

'Rangers are a class above' was the (obviously biased) statement/opinion. Nothing about being hard done by.... ! Someone (not you Val) trying to invent a story?

Maybe you caught an edited version. All the press today seem to support that he had a rant about it (even to the point of quoting him saying he believes its been happening to Rangers for years!) It's unbelievable that he could entertain that notion

Outside the chance of seeing an old firm game I'd question if he's ever seen Rangers play domestic football before he got involved, he simply cannot have if he's prepared to spout that nonsense.

It sounds like his indoctrination into the world of the old firm was pretty successful (many never appear to regain their objective view even after leaving)

Gerrard blowing bubbles with the 'referees are against us' guff. Do you really think that he could quote some specific instances..naw.
Non Old firm fans well know that referees are generally intimidated and influenced by OF home crowds.

I worked in Glasgow for 2 years starting in 1999......lovely folk, until the "Old Firm" chat started. Then it turned nasty very quickly. Put me right off :D Funny thing is, that they need each other or there's no point.

Not sure you're entirely correct. When the cheats got caught and could no longer pay their bills the attendances at the rest of the SPL grounds increased.

It was a harsh sending off, the centre half barged into the player off the ball and he reacted. IMO he was provoked and shouldn’t have been sent off.

Provocation is no defence, and when even died in the wool huns like Kris Boyd say it's standard practice and you have to man up, it puts Morelos' actions in context.

For me it's still soft, but letter of the law he goes. Of more concern was missing the offside in the lead up to the penalty. Not even discussed on SKY, at least Michael Stewart highlighted on sportscene.
