can someone tell me the need to bring flares to a family match i mean adult and a child 7 quid and u bring in flares most were set off during half time wen there were 10 year olds on the pitch

I think we all know there's no need and a bit of a let down but i'm sure you don't need me to tell you that. Mrs E

Personally not got anything against flares at matches, so long as they aint used in a stupid manner. IE on the plastic seats, christ ypu can hold hem and stamp thm out if you aint a complete tool... although there are a fair few of them in the celtic support.

So whats the problem there?? I feel flares add to an atmosphere and am fed up with the hoity toity H&S crap at all public events these days!

Fair enough if there was a large gathering of children at the loccation directly beside the flare there could be a wee issue with the smoke. However generally speaking the areas these are let off are not in the family stand!.

Maybe youl disagree maybe not. I like flares at football. Poznan with the whole rear of the stand flared up, its a great site. Or the Camp Nou, mestalla or the Bernabau without it etc all adds to a cool atmosphere IMO!

Evinguu

Oh calm down, any excuse to have a go at Celtic. Can you explain how holding a flare in the stands affects a 10 year old standing on the pitch.

Now that the blue knights have walked away what will happen to the rff ,can we expect to see well sun tanned members strolling round govan with a few extra ounces of gold hanging round their necks

Just a question 2 start a litlle debate - Do you think the result was fair? Considering all the decisions from the officials. Andy

Even after the ref missed or made calls on 4-5 things that could have changed the game aside from that it should have went into extra time and have a team win it there. that being said if the game was called right, hearts should have been down 2 man at the very lease down 1. all this talk about our goal being offside has no reasoning for first it is too close to call because maybe 2 cm away from players and 2nd everyone should check the rules, for if they do,everyone cant possibly say that the ref did not have a HUGE impact on the game for all the wrong reasons. look at the rules and look at the 4-5 facts challenges missed and there is no argument to say the ref was right.

The ref was right : utter b****cks , it wasn't a penalty , he got things wrong big time. Collum was on telly last week saying refs were willing to talk after the game explaining deciscions to management about it , well we're still waiting on him telling us his interpretation on why Stokesy would dive in the league cup final . It's not just in Scotland but all over Europe that you are starting to see bad calls . It's not as if they are not well paid ,they all have good incomes like lawyers , surveyors ,etc . They make in one game (90 mins) what most people don't earn in a month . There is too many trying to be bigger than the actual game we pay too see ,they see themselves on telly and get above themselves . The worst is they break the hearts of fans who pay good money to watch ther team every week . I'm only asking for them to be consistent........DH

HOWS YOU ED ONWURD IN DOON WARD IZ AH AEWAEYS SAY , whits occurin boays? {Ed007's Note - I'm good Pat. Radio Snyde has cheered me up no end!!}

Evening Pat, how are you this fine Radio Clyde evening, did you hear "our" Alex?
I think we should all sing this at next Celtic match...
"We've got Timmy, Timmy Thomson in the wings...." "Timmy, oh Timmy Thomson, Timmy Thomson in the wings...
hail hail Timalloy

ED007 I never heard all off Timalloys knew hero's interview tonight but what I did hear he didn't tell us anything we didn't know already, ok we are going 2 find out there is some bampot journo who likes 2 slap people on twitter bit like the guy joe o'rourke who thinks it would have been alright for prods 2 die on the titanic spouting off on twitter, so did I miss anything as I was off showing my silky skills at fives tonight, so didn't hear it all & thats right timalloy I could rip the pish oot off you with a baw at ma feet
NTYABOW {Ed007's Note - He just ripped Keevins and Hannah a new one mate, there is a link posted somewhere. It's worth hearing just for that.}

I did hear him rip keevins but what I did hear of him I was quite impressed, I think Timalloy has just taken the bits he likes 2 hear, beacause as far as I could make out the guy doesn't have an agenda against RANGERS he is just reporting what other journo's should have been doing & maybe we wouldn't be in the mess we are in, I know this is a tricky question but do you know who the nutcase journo is or can't you say on here as thompson says we will find out anyway in due course, on another note I seen you were ripping some of my fellow bears today, so does having some1 like me not saying I am bamber gascoigne but I can argue my point well give you some hope, suppose I am a bit crazy though as I can't make out who I fancy the most the green jhedi or oh oh julie
NTYABOW {Ed007's Note - As it is now with the police we can't gossip about it mate (but don't pay much attention to Twatter), it is the same on all of the sites and could harm our Google accreditation. The Man Utd site was a nightmare during the 'super-injunction' stuff. It was just a shame Hayley actually took me to court over it, but it's her loss :-) Thompson has bigger fish to fry, he really doesn't care about Rangers, it is the bigger picture of corruption and the poor standards of Scottish journalism he is attacking. You know all Rangers fans are welcome on here if they can hold a sensible conversation, I put up with you don't I?}

Had a look at this bile earlier and thought I would share it.

http://www.rangersmedia.co.uk/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=700%3Arangers-dont-need-morality-lessons-from-the-celtic-persuaded&catid=101%3Aclub&Itemid=529

For a former player to make some of these comments is a disgrace. Dont know how much this site is related to Rangers but to allow this to be printed is disusting.

I dont think for a minute it is the ex player who wrote it mate.I would urge everyone to have a look at this cos if it is linked OFFICIALLY to rankers they might be in trouble.Another reference to the Famine is treading dodgy ground.Having said that it just gives you a peek into the mind of the writer to confirm what we all know,they have far more bigots than they let on........green jhedi {Ed007's Note - The Rangers Supporters Trust have also been reported and had to issue a grovelling apology the other day because of a message one of it's administrators put on their official FB page.}

Digusting article, pretending to be "intelligent" all it says is they all hate us, they all need us, rangers are picked on but we dont complain. also contains a sly reference about returning to famines. altough even he admitted the rules were changed especially for them but that said it was to hurt them not help cant remember any other liquidated club being allowed straight back into spl.
one of the worst bits was "no one offers us help, but we didnt ask for any", both wrong.Utterly delusional

Green Jhedi, I just posted on rumours site to ignore these cretans, they are still trying to bring Celtic's reputaion down like their own. Guess they have nothing left to do but try and sling mud at Celtic. But Jhedi as Supporters of Celtic we are better than that, just ignore their twisted little barbs. hail hail Timalloy

Totally sums up why they do need a morality lesson but the irony is probably lost on the writer of this. Also, the rangers supporters trust boycotting away grounds because they don't like the new Financial Fair Play Regulations..that has to be a laugh out loud moment. Wonder why they don't like financial fair play ? Mrs E

@Timalloy. always mate,always..........green jhedi

Big Jock, Bill McNeil, Tommy Burns all great men all had pride, passion, and desire to win, all loved their club, football, and above all they had dignity............................Mr Lennon hang your head, and to all Celtic fans how can you utter his name in the same breath as those greats I have mentioned.
Wibblyblue

Why do rangers fans insist on using the word 'dignity' all the time ? That has got to be one of footballing's greatest mysteries. Mrs E

And Mr O'Neill........guess you didnt like him eh?........green jhedi

And how can you as Rankers fan, come on here and use the word dignity.

You support a tax cheating organisation, which has deprived tax payers of services, charities of funds, so do one, and dont come back.

Lost Bhoy 50

Wibblyblue your club knows all about dignity I remember sir wattie in his spat with the referee u can catch it on u tube
Pay your debt and show some dignity u tube

Just one question to ask. Do you think we would have won the game if the officials got some decisions right??

I was looking forward to extra time which was the correct thing to happen as neither team deserved to win in 90 mins. If it had went to extra time we would have just scraped a win as you could see Hearts getting tiered and we were getting stronger.

Ian

Celtic wouldn't even have scored if the officials made the correct decision.

TTG

But maybe we wud hav scored if black was sent off as we wud hav been playing the whole second haf against 10 men

I want lennon confrunting poor referees about poor decisions, the only way to sort it is to point it out to the men in black to have a look at themselves. As for all these so called Celtic fans saying he should act in a manner befitting a celtic manager please behave! I'm sure if to quote a former manager we took it on the chin and moved on then you'd all be on hear shouting for his head. It wasn't just the penalty decision that was poor by the ref, there was mr blacks shocking over the ball straight leg kick at joe ledley which he only received a yellow, then there was the same said mr blacks deliberate hand ball which went un punnished, Celtics goal slight offside when ball came in. So all in all big decisions wrong by the ref. Needs to be highlighted if we are to improve the standard in this country.

DD

But Lenny thinks your goal was onside?

I thought when it was close for offside the attacker was given the benefit of doubt as it was extremely close yesterday i dont think it should have been given as offside they were just about level personally i dont think offside should be called unless there is daylight between the attacker and defender and did anyone notice how quick they were to point out that technicly hooper was offside by 3 or 4 inches ffs
bigD

He was still offside. If Hearts scored a goal from the same offside position yous would be going off your nut and Neil Lennon would be shooting everyone in site!!

TTG

Shooting everyone in site,would that be with the bullets rangers fans sent him you t**t,garlar07

TTG..a bit of a poor choice of words ?! Ach its over now, if you had told me in October during all the 4iar, mind the gap, santa's delivering the title, rangers & motherwell are in europe next season blah blah etc that we would win the league after overturning a 15 point deficit and the only thing rangers would be in was adminsitration then I would have been quite happy :-) Mrs E

After calming down and some reflection on yesterdays performance, although the 'penalty' was very harsh - did we do enough to deserve the victory? Not really, but we deserved the chance to win it in extra-time. I had concerns before the match about Hampden, and felt we needed an early goal (as usual) to settle us into our rhythm. We can't seem to get our quick passing game going at Hampden for some reason. Paolo Sergio got his own tactics bang on and we just couldn't answer quickly enough.
I have felt the balance of the side has not been quite right all season. We have no real creative midfielders. Since Mulgrew hit his purple patch, I feel we have come to rely on him and his attacking deliveries too much. He is, ironically, our best centre-half at times. Izzy can't get back in the team for him at left-back. Young McGeough was lively though. Only small adjustments are needed to this side. Youth is on its side as well. We'll be stronger next season.
A wee message to Neil Lennon. We understand your passion and frustration but pick battles you can win mate. Your no good stuck in the stand again for 5 games or whatever they throw at you. You come across as a thoughtfull, intelligent and witty man. Use that intelligence and wit and use the media to YOUR advantage. Don't fall into the traps. Only gives ammunition to others.

well said kev bhoy you called it right

Going to try and ignore the embarrasing decisions today.
My analysis for the squad,
Sign foster
CB (proven int)
CM (proven int)
CF (proven int)

Spend 8mill

Sell the 'on loans' men plus juarez, rasmussen, and ki (yip I think his times up).
1 player I think our team is crying out for back in Kayal, the heartbeat of the team when he's on form..plans MUST now turn to putting lads in the window and giving young players a chance. Upstairs we need to get the right men in for CL..and by that I mean experience

Centre back, centre midfielder and centre forward all proven internationists for 8ml,behave.
