[theonlywayisup]

The Rangers v Aberdeen
Motherwell v Celtic

Plus in English Premiership:
Arsenal v Huddersfield
Bournemouth v Burnley
Chelsea v Swansea
Everton v West Ham
Man City v Southampton
Stoke v Liverpool

[TheGreenMan]

Mon the sheep

[Hibernia&Alba]

Best of luck to Aberdeen, Motherwell, Southampton and Stoke :agree:

[hibee_girl]

Penalty to rangers

[hibee_girl]

1-0 rangers

[Albanian Hibs]

Defo a penalty

[cabbageandribs1875]

tansey is a tw@t

[JohnM1875]

Shocking tackle by Tansey. Definite pen. Hoping for a draw here.

[hibee]

Stood on the ball and was falling over anyway.

[Hibernia&Alba]

1-0 rangers

Clear penalty, bad tackle.

[Wheat Hound]

For once a legitimate home penalty decision at Ibrox. Rash challenge from Tansey.
Plenty of time for sevco implosion though

[hibsbollah]

Shocks in ligue 1; Claudio Ranieris Nantes beat Monaco, Lille beat on fire Lyon, Marseille move into second place behind PSG, who will go ten points clear already if they win in the 9pm ko.

[Sergey]

Shocking tackle by Tansey. Definite pen. Hoping for a draw here.

3-2 either way for me....please for decent odds.

Not for me, I wouldn't have given it!!!!

McCrorie should have been booked for his challenge but gets a wee chat and 2 mins later dons player gets booked for first challenge. Jack gets away with straight leg studs showing foul. Pattern emerging

Aberdeen are such bottlers.

[weecounty hibby]

Jack should have been booked by now. But to be fair there's no point, any decision against him seems to be overturned on appeal

[hibee_girl]

2-0 Rangers

[weecounty hibby]

Agreed 2-0 and never been in it.

I've no wish to defend the attitudes behind the song, and it has no relevance to football, but its (published) words don't have anything illegal in them.

It's not the losing it's the complete lack of fight, industry, efforts, the fact that they're being run ragged by an abysmal Hun team. The manager is over rated too. Been lucky in his time at Aberdeen that Hibs, hearts and der Hun were out of the league for so long and allowed them to establish the second team In the league.

[Hibernia&Alba]

And what about Father's Advice - a call to join a Loyalist paramilitary group? Loud and proud there.

What do you mean, “what about?”? They have reprehensible songs, and fathers advice is one of them. It doesn’t negate ballengeich (or my) point that Derrys Walls, despite having no place in a Scottish football ground in 2017, has nothing illegal in it.

I didn't say it did negate your point. What I mean is Father's Advice is certainly illegal and is in a different category from Derry's Walls.

[green day]

OK, fair enough, but........

As we know, its only one of their lovely repertoire. My point remains, if their supporters were singing racist (as opposed to sectarian) songs, there would be uproar.

Nobody really questions it, despite it being illegal.

[weecounty hibby]

Back to the football........ And the good news is that Everton are a goal up. Rooney scores the rebound after Hart saves his penalty

But Derry’s Walls isn’t “illegal”, which is the point?

I agree with the general sentiment you’re making, they’re a heinous bunch, but derrys walls is one of their more placid “ditties”.

[green day]

GMS booked about 30 seconds after being subbed on - wee fanny :greengrin

Aye, let’s just stick to the football. They’re an awful bunch, and there’s no disputing that!

[Wull]

Aberdeen are bad but the ref takes the cake

[weecounty hibby]

2-0 Everton, Rooney again
Woop woop. Good news. Don't understand why he hasn't been playing. Not
The player he was but still quality

[macca70]

Refs a joke, Aberdeen getting nothing. It was a pen to Rangers though, probably the only decision he’s got right

[Scorrie]

Woop woop. Good news. Don't understand why he hasn't been playing. Not

Rooney playing left back most of the time tonight !

[Hibernia&Alba]

Real six pointer at Goodison. Big result for Everton if they win; massive worry for West Ham.

[weecounty hibby]

So what have we learnt in that first half? The Hun support are a truly horrible bunch, refs are brutal and don't give decisions against the OF especially at home and Aberdeen are crap in big games. So basically learnt nothing new

Precisely. They sing Derry's Walls because although it supports the sentiments behind the loathsome club, it doesn't have lyrics which in themselves can be objected to as displaying sectarian hatred.

I hope he gets the gig. Over rated big time. Has had no competition for second place but has never looked like laying a glove on Celtic in all that time

That's a fair point; they have many other songs which are supposedly banned, yet nothing seems to be done in Scotland. UEFA hammer them every time they are in Europe, due to strict liability.

Jason Holt is a right wee dick as well. Running about possessed, flying into tackles. Eventually booked.

Bad tackle just now by Kenny Miller too. No booking.

Two players a yard offside. The linesman couldn’t possibly have missed it, unless he wanted to.

[haagsehibby]

Someone needs to give Andy Walker a book of the laws of the game. It was a clear offside.

Elsewhere Arsenal have just scored 3 goals in 5 minutes and now lead Huddersfield 4-0.

[Hibby70]

Aberdeen are honking, how are they second. Paddy Considine is better than that number 4.

Still think we can finish second.

[Lancs Harp]

Pickford saves a West Ham penalty. Still Everton 2 West Ham 0 but the Hammers giving it a go in the second half.

[Danderhall Hibs]

Aberdeen are pretty poor. Not helped by the ref - although the way their players stop and complain can’t help them. Rangers have just played on a few times and caught them off guard. Clearly Aberdeen didn’t realise Dallas was the ref when setting themselves up.

[660]

Walker is a loathsome twat. Hope these “disgraceful scenes” after the cup final are seared into your memory you complete plum.

Weird watching the rangers v Aberdeen game and seeing rangers winning 3-0 and still thinking this lot are murder and can't wait to get them at ER in two weeks!

I would expect Aberdeen to finish second still though. They tend to beat the teams they're supposed to beat.

You said ‘push’.. there was no push. Placing your hands on someone or pushing are two completely different things. You get taught to mark ‘touch tight’. The boys gutted he’s had a penalty given against him in the last couple of minutes. He goes daft at Collum, reaction is exactly
As isn’t expect. I’ll say it again, it has to be a foul for it to e given, simply touching a player isn’t a foul.

soft I agree...i think there is some movement, therefore a push...regardless,whether I'm right on that - if you put your two hands on someones back and he goes over in the box, then you are risking a pen...that is what happened. As I said earlier, I can understand how it has been given.

I doubt it.

Manchester City have managed to drop just two points in the first 3 months of the season, I can't see them keeping that ratio up.

They'll have a sticky spell at one point. It just depends if any other team can take advantage when it happens.

[blackpoolhibs]

soft I agree...i think there is some movement, therefore a push...regardless,whether I'm right on that - if you put your two hands on someones back and he goes over in the box, then you are risking a pen...that is what happened. As I said earlier, I can understand how it has been given.

Ah the, i felt contact so my legs went from under me line.

Walker is a loathsome twat. Hope these “disgraceful scenes” after the cup final are seared into your memory you complete plum.


The dispicable cretin shouldn't be allowed to step foot inside Easter road for the Celtic and Huns games on sky after his comments after the final. Disgraceful, odious little prick

[Hibernia&Alba]

Good going really. Reminds me of an old team in Manchester that used to get lucky in injury time.

Man city will almost seal the league in a couple of weeks at Old Trafford.

United haven't lost at home in fourteen months, and I think they will win the derby. However, City will win the league, barring an extraordinary collapse. 40 points from 42 is incredible form.

Haha do you actually think that was a pen?

It’s the most non pen I have seen. It’s not remotely a foul. The Celtic boy just goes down whilst the two of them are at each other’s side.

It is a mental decision.

It is worse than Sunday imo

you need to watch it again...they are not side by side...not sure if it was a pen, but the Well player does hold his hand up immediately after McGregor goes down..and by placing two hands on someones back in the box, you are taking that risk and I can see why it was given...

Oooft. Never a penalty.

Shocking penalty decision and whys Sinclair not booked for the celebration?

He runs straight over to the Motherwell fans who must have been giving him abuse for Sunday’s dive and gave them a sssshhhhh finger to his mouth and cupped his ear. Cummings would get booked if he went within 50 yards of the oppositions fans to celebrate

Everton score a fourth

Strange game at Goodison. It ended in a fairy tale but Everton were pegged back for most of it and were incredibly fortunate not to lose two or three goals plus a missed penalty.
Big Sam has much to do because they won't get away with it every week.

[Pete]

I doubt it.

Manchester City have managed to drop just two points in the first 3 months of the season, I can't see them keeping that ratio up.

They'll have a sticky spell at one point. It just depends if any other team can take advantage when it happens.

I think a City win will psychologically seal the title as it will be such a body blow to their nearest challengers.

Speaking of body-blows, I think we can safely say that’s how Manchester United will be set up tactically. A Hoof and barge fest awaits.

[macca70]

On the plus side, we really didn’t want a Motherwell win as that would have put them a point behind us still with a game in hand.

And it will make it all the sweeter when we end Celtics unbeaten run at ER on 10th December

On the 10th we will need to remind the ref (probably Collum) how much they cheat by chanting "cheat, cheat, cheat.." before they even start their diving.

[neil7908]

Wow that's a stunningly bad decision.

I never used to think referees in this country cheated but the SFA's behaviour following the demise of Rangers (trying to parachute them into the top flight after their liquidation, a mathematically improbable run of home ties in the cup competitions etc) I'm not sure anymore.

All I know is that whoever beats eventually beats Celtic will be have to overcome two opponents - Celtic and the referee.

If I was a Motherwell fan I'd be wondering why I bother spending £100s funding a sport when there is no level playing field. Might as well burn your money!

[green day]

Motherwell manager has shat it with his post match comments (or non comments) too.

Wish he had the balls to say they were done both matches by cheating.

[truehibernian]

Unless they trial video refereeing this will always continue. The clubs in the top flight in particular need to grow a set and lobby the SFA as a collective unit to ensure our referees improve their performances - if not - there should be a real drive to have a weekend of games with neutral refs from another country until video refs are introduced. Unbelievable that rugby, cricket, american football, even horse racing can use it - but football remains in the dark ages. The Scottish set up discusses ref decisions more than it does good football - tragic really.

To counter their dodgy penalties the team that do it will have to score probably at least 3 goals which will have to be ones where there is no chance of judging them offside or any other infringement. Maybe like McGinn's 2 against them.

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

That is a truly hopeless call by the ref. Guessing that none of the men in black want to be in charge of the game when Celtc finally get beat.

Ozil was definitely on his game and when he is, he is one of the best in the world.

There were a couple of one-touch moves that didn't produce goals but highlighted that particular aspect of their game - there's nobody better at movements involving three or four players with only one touch each.

[Onion]

Quite simply a shocking decision by the referee. Never, ever a penalty. There's no way he can explain that to anyone, so deemed "blatant cheating" by the footballing public.

[HibeeHibernian4]

[theonlywayisup]

Cannot believe that the ref gave that penalty.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/42075927

I've always said that when playing the Old Firm, a ref has to be 100% convinced it's a penalty for the opposition for him to give a penalty. Whereas, he only has to be 50% convinced to give one for the Old Firm. Refs have a difficult job and I'm sure many decisions are based on gutfeel - in such situations they almost always favour the Old Firm.

Celtic over the years have had some shocking decisions in their favour. However, whenever there's one given against them suddenly it's all about bias and it's in the papers for ages.

[Just Jimmy]

Utd have scored 4 goals on 8 occasions this season and constantly get called boring. They have also gone through a spell where the lost Pogba and Rojo plus a couple of others to injuries.

city are great to watch at times but always look like they'll concede. Utd need to win on the 10th, even just to keep it interesting.

Yep definitely a different mindset. For OF team they look for reason to give it, non-of teams against OF they look for reasons not to give it.

The ultimate irony that sinclair scores when he shouldnt have been on the pitch after being done by the compliance officer must be the ultimate for motherwell. If there is one team in the country that dont need a helping hand it is celtic yet the spineless incompetents not cheats of course are only to happy to help.

First he said he was a foot offside then said his hand was offside, I don't uunderstand how blatant he could make his lies.

Also don't understand why mcinnes didn't start the same team as they did against killie, came flying out the traps in that game. Maybe trying to make his new job easier...

[mjhibby]

It didn't matter in the context of the game but was well offside. Just another decision to join the hundreds of others the infirm have had. Makes Leighs goal against hertz all the more infuriating.

[ian cruise]

I'm not sure that results last night could have realistically been much worse for us. Aberdeen are still ahead but now Rangers are too. Motherwell are now on a realistic chance of going ahead if they win their game in hand by a few goals and while they've got Moult it's a possibility.

This is why those results where we were getting draws have cause so much frustration, yes we were still 3rd after each but it was giving these teams the chance to get back in to the hunt. Last night will have given them additional confidence as it improved their league positions whereas if we'd taken wins at St Johnstone and Hamilton we'd still be ahead and they'd be chasing. It's a different proposition then.

Time to start turning our good play in to wins to start consolidating 3rd and aiming for 2nd rather than drifting towards 6th.

[IGRIGI]

Aberdeen must be the biggest set of ***** bags vs Mordor Select XI, 9 times out of 10 they are gubbed senseless.

Bang on about Özil, I think he's under appreciated in the UK, because sometimes he huffs and puffs. He's as good as any of the attacking midfielders down south for me.

I don’t agree. Rangers will blow hot and cold, and the last thing we wanted was to fall 7 behind Aberdeen, insurmountable as far as I’m concerned. As it is we are just four behind and all three clubs have a very similar December (those two play again this weekend, so one at leat will drop more points).

Motherwell gained one point, but they play Celtic again on Saturday so will more than likely drop points again.

I am very comfortable with where we are sitting just now with a huge month for all top 6 sides who play each other this month. Come January we will had a proper idea of where we will finish.

Up to a point.The referral system is only as good as the video referee who is normally a current ref.For example Samoa were given a try against Scotland when the footage reviewed clearly showed the ball being touched down on top of a defender instead of being grounded.

Just watched the video a couple of times. Before seeing it, I thought it was a dive. After watching it, I thought definite penalty.
However, having watched it again I'm not so sure the Motherwell player wasn't 'set up'.
Roberts gets in front of him then puts the brakes on. The momentum of the Well player carries him to the player. And Roberts bowls over having created the situation himself. I would suggest the 'push' was merely him trying to avoid the collision.
Kinda like a car overtaking you then slamming on the brakes causing you to tail end it.

Sneakily clever. Cheating? Perhaps not but in my book not in the spirit of the game.
