Yep. And rangers tend to get billy big baws after a big result and do whatever they want next time out. Could do with them turning over Aberdeen at IbroxQuote:

Yup they rarely lose 2 in a row plus not sure how anyone can want the Huns to win.Quote:

Their recruitment has been pretty awful yet nobody in the media ever seems to bring it up.
Ian Crocker desperately trying to make out this game means anything. That save by Kelly: 'a huge, massive, monumental save'. Aye calm down Ian, it's a dead rubber.
St Johnstone v Ross County and Hibs v St Mirren are bigger games in the coming weeks.
Pitch looks to have a bit of a slope on it from that picture.Quote:

Celtic have looked uncomfortable when having to defend crosses . Hopefully something we can use to our advantage.

Tells you something about The Rangers though if Celtc strolled to the title with not much change out of the OF games.Quote:

I've got a bet on bookings so I'm obviously biased but I cannot believe how often this game is refereed to a different standard. There's been about 4 or 5 bookable offences here that have been ignored simply because it's Rangers Celtic. McGregor and Raskin should both be booked by now

Remember the days when Man U where a big club.
Brentford taking Man U. apart. 4-1.
Didn’t the rangers fans take great offence at the B7 sign that mentioned orange *******s?
But they see no issue in tifos like that

Because of this, I'm a bit more apprehensive than I would normally be with a three point lead + the better goal difference we have over Aberdeen going into the last three games.
Look at the Liverpool side today. Unrecognisable.
Think United will be much stronger in the league next season.Quote:

Would you be annoyed if Newcastle made several changes for a league game ahead of a champions league match next season? Or if Celtic play less than full strength against Hibs next week?
proud of a shower of dirty bigoted sectarian ****s, yeah righthttps://pbs.twimg.com/media/GqHbNbVW...jpg&name=large
I suppose not but nevertheless they had Szoboszai .. played 33 games , MacAllister .. played 34 games and Diaz and Robertson who had played a combined 64 games , very much a weakened team today .. just thought it was poor considering there’s so much at stake for other teams . Sporting integrity and all that .Quote:

If Newcastle, or city, or forest, or villa qualify for the champions league, it’ll be because of how they performed across the whole season, nothing else.
If you want to cry sporting integrity, then you should really apply that to all 20 teams, and demand they all play their strongest 11 every single match - I can guarantee you that every single one of those 5 teams have rested players this season - or to use your language, played a weakened team. West Ham beat Newcastle 2-0 this season, should the relegated teams be examining the Newcastle side to see if it wasn’t deemed to be full strength, and making the same complaint you’re making now? Can’t have it both ways
Liverpool downing tools after winning the league, if celtic can follow suit next week that would be just great
No point in Celtic playing full strength until the cup final. They have a few injuries already.Quote:

Liverpool can do whatever they like, give other players game time, rotate ect.Quote:

Huge result for (Beuzelin’s) Le Havre tonight who will probably now escape automatic relegation at the expense of fallen giants St Etienne.
Lille-Marseille starts shortly, very important for champions league places.

You’ve ignored the questions I asked, but kept on complaining that Liverpool changed the team for today’s match - would you be complaining if Celtic changed some of their players out for our match next week? Shouldn’t Aberdeen and Dundee Utd be demanding that Celtic play their strongest side when there’s so much at stake?
Edit: every team in the EPL has to register a squad. Who is best to determine which players need a rest, are out of form, carrying a niggle, etc? The club’s manager in tandem with the medical team, or fans of other clubs?

Sorry , wasn’t ignoring your question. I’d be delighted if Celtic change some players though it’s a totally different situation in Celtic doing it playing us as opposed to Liverpool travelling to Stamford bridge, for starters whoever Celtic change player wise will probably still be better quality than our players . I was actually annoyed Sevco done it against Aberdeen even though they actually had a reason for it …Quote:

I’m sure there would be Liverpool fans at the very least disappointed too ..
Totally understand if there’s an important cup / euro game coming up being a good reason or a player not fully fit/ carrying a knock etc though not buying into Liverpool had six players needing rest or were carry knocks today if that’s what your trying to tell me the reason was..
They simply rotated their squad in what was one of two of their hardest games out of their last four .. 3 left. Arsenal, Brighton and Crystal Palace. Arsenal and Palace games are probably more meaningless imo .
I still think it was poor from Liverpool nevertheless.
Lip service due to their take over I would also guess.Quote:

Liverpool had at least won something and had every right to rotate - Huns were just resting players hoping it would help them but in the end they lost anyway.
If your going to have a go at Liverpool and sporting integrity maybe mention the Plymouth cup loss as that starting team was a total nonsense and hence they lost.
I have only just seen it, and I thought it was Charles Bronson in Death Wish. Is it Souness?Quote:

Celtic rotating their team and going to tannadice isn’t the same as Liverpool doing it and going to Stamford bridge who were a team they just only narrowly beat at Anfield in the previous meeting 2-1…
