Norris Cole

During the first half of 2007/08 when he wasn't getting a sniff of the first-team he used to stay behind after training most days for one-on-one coaching from Davie Weir. I read an interview with him some time last year, he basically said he was a ned and an idiot as a youngster before seeing the error of his ways. Top guy, deserves everything he gets from the game.

What about "Who's the mason in the black"? Sectarian under mope logic.

Certainly seems strange that 8000 could make themselves heard but the other 52,000 couldn't:rolleyes:

Can I assume Scotland Today will have a feature on the Celtic fans flying an illegal terrorist flag, the Starry Plough, at yesterday's game?

Perhaps they didn't have time to fit it in today.

Well what do you know, the t.aigs don't get the result they want so out comes the sectarian card. How come they weren't moaning after the last Old Firm game? Oh right, I get it - they won:rolleyes:

They used every dirty trick in the book last year to win the league and got away with it. I said this on another board earlier in the season - if the paedo harbourers are struggling near the end of the season, the debate over points deduction will begin.

Steak Pie FC - Offended by everything, embarrassed by nothing.

There's only one team with a claim to Irish roots, and they don't play in Glasgow. Funny that.

He was fortunate it was such a dull, incident free Old Firm. Imagine it had been a contentious game with more big incidents. The number of errors he amde in such an easy game to referee is worrying for his future performances, especially seeing as he is highly rated.

10 yellow cards in a game with barely a tackle (McManus on Miller aside).

Such is the lack of quality of refereeing in this country just now, I actually thought he had the best game from a referee at CP in quite some time.

In Murray's defence, he's merely incompetent as opposed to corrupt, not both like Conroy, Murphy, Smith and Brines.

Mongo dines on football boot...

I heard Ronaldo has Kirk Broadfoot posters on his bedroom wall.

Bleeding Heart FC:rolleyes:

It's over, go home.

Calum Murray should never referee an OF match again. Was is it with the current crop of referees in Scotland?

Clutching at straws Mr Smith. If mIller had even shifted the ball to the side or something I'd have been screaming for a pen but as Gav said he got his shot away. Never a decision that we are going to get at Parkhead. We didn't get a lot yesterday as it was!

Surely if he's got his shot away it's a late tackle and therefore a foul? As Gazza says, anywhere but inside the penalty box and that's a free-kick. Even leaving aside the issue of whether it was a penalty or not, it was another dangerous tackle from a player who has made a career out of getting away with shit like this.

And quite right too. It was a disgraceful tackle (you can see Miller's leg bend) which was immediately forgotten in the heat of Miller's shot at goal.

Went for Davis. Bougy had a good game but was pretty wasteful with his end product in a couple of his forays up the park. Davis looked like he wanted to play more positively than perhaps Smith had told him to, and went through Celtic's midfield with apparent ease all second half.

What I felt hurt his game was that he so obviously (to me at least) was told not to get too far forward.

Agree with that. Did you notice how restrained Broadfoot was, particularly in the first half? He's hurt Celtic before by running the touchline but it was obvious from kick-off yesterday he'd been told to reign himself in.

Felt sorry for him today as 4-1-4-1 / 4-5-1 completely nullifies his natural game. Could have genuinely hurt Celtic in an attacking game.

The finest moment in my relationship with Setanta was when I cancelled. Substandard to Sky in every way imaginable.

Smith showed his true Manchester spirit today. The guy has become a loser.

Just as his negativity cost us last May, so it will cost us again this May.

We're already living to regret not giving him his jotters after Kaunas.

Anyone got Lizzy's moby no.? Looking for spares...

Could be a prospect. That's more than once I've seen his name appear on Jeff's vidiprinter.

Smith: "There's not much to give away, I think you can have a fair stab at what Rangers will do."

Which means 4-1-4-1 and playing for the draw. Absolutely criminal against such a poor scum outfit. Such a cautious approach could very well cost us the title.

Ha ha ha ha ha.

That is all.

Obviously as a Rangers fan this won't be taken seriously by many, but I've always thought that Larsson goal was overhyped. A good goal but the man himself scored many better. Pity he wasn't fit to lace Super's boots

Who can forget his goal at Parkhead and the look on his face - I thought he was going to burst into tears. Also remember him scoring a valuable double in a 3-2 win at Fir Park near the end of that season.

I liked Vignal, had a good temperament and was a handy player in what has often been a problem position for us. He'd have made that place his own in 2005/06 instead of us having to bring in the utterly hopeless Bernard, however for Vignal's sake it was probably best he got out before that disastrous season.

Good night all round and even Velicka got a goal - Will he be the surprise inclusion this weekend????????

Would love to see him play at Parkhead as anyone who remembers the League Cup QF there a couple of years ago will know what he is capable of (scored both in a 2-0 Hearts win). Sadly he'd probably need a month to get up to match fitness now. WTF is he doing in the reserves?
