Rangers v Hearts

Absinthe Minded · 18th May 2003, 03:04 PM

Anyone watchin?

It's not a great advert for Scottish football. Hearts are 3rd in the league and they give the ball away so often its a joke. They've given away 3 corners just trying to do passbacks to the keeper! Still 0-0 but if it stays this way i'm sure it won't be too long till Rangers get a penalty.

Come on nearly an hour gone! Hang in there Jambos!

Absinthe Minded · 18th May 2003, 03:21 PM

A penalty! Surprise, surprise! Didn't predict that 20 mins ago did i?!

What a fucking save though!

Gary V1 · 18th May 2003, 03:57 PM

I didnt see it because I was at work, unlike some people. Really good save though. So are rangers ahead on goals for? I still dont see a play off tough. It would be egg on the SPL faces after they promised there'd never be another old firm decider.

And you only have to look at the points difference between the top 2 and 3rd to see the difference in class between hearts, dunfermline etc and the old firm.

Absinthe Minded · 18th May 2003, 04:01 PM

Ye, Rangers are ahead by 1 goal scored. So it's a playoff if we both win by the same amount but we score a goal more ie. 2-1 to 1-0 or 3-2 to 2-1 etc. I don't see it happening. Rangers are guarenteed a penalty at home if they're struggling so we need at least 2 before we even start.

Gary V1 · 18th May 2003, 04:12 PM

Your so cynical, Rangers cant help it if they get fouled in the box. Anyway should be exciting. Popping into smiths to watch the 2nd halves? Football is more enjoyable when viewed with Lager

Absinthe Minded · 18th May 2003, 04:14 PM

Or cider and blackcurrant.

The arrogance of the English media towards us never ceases to amaze me. One Scottish reporter was tryin to explain the earlier scenario which would result in a play-off, and after he did some smart-arse, English, journalist said "So, to put it simply, what your saying is, if Celtic win by a goal more than Rangers it's a play-off", trying to sound intelligent but actually spouting complete nonsense.

haha silly english cunt. Ye I hate the english media, except Talksport of course.

Em, as opposed to the dodgy penalty to get you a 1-0 at Parkhead to Hearts the other week? the refs are not biased!

G-VO-Merocaine · 19th May 2003, 11:07 AM

Yeah, fair enough, refs are not biased. BUT....you have to say, the amount of extremely soft penalties Rangers and Celtic get every year is amazing. O.K. the old argument is that they are in the box more, and tend therefore to get fouled more, but they do get awarded some mighty mighty soft penalties when they "need" them. Looking forward to the finish though. I personally hope Celtic get the bonus goal (dodgy penalty or not) because I think the play-off at Hampden would be crazy!! Possibly harking back to the old Mark Hately and Peter Grant style old firm derbies. They were always really entertaining for the neutral. Anyway, I said months ago United would stay up, and WAYHAY!! We've only gone and done it. Congrats to Ian McCall and the Tangerines!!! Cheers folks

Ross · 19th May 2003, 06:47 PM

But you've just stated that you think the refs are biased there! I'm tired of this- every team gets soft penalties, it's just Rangers and Celtic attack more.

*Sarahanne* · 19th May 2003, 07:17 PM

Yeah I did watch that, cause I was bored....

Don't know a thing about football.....but I do know Hearts are shit

Sadly though, my ex bf wasn't blessed with the same football knowledge as my lil self

It was a good match though!

Kath · 20th May 2003, 12:25 AM

hearts are not shit.... u obv got the colours mixed up (lmao)... no but seriously i was in work and i was hearing little bits of it and it sounded like hearts were all over rangers in the first half

Freto · 20th May 2003, 11:40 AM

Ha ha! Hearts along with every other spl team outside the old firm are a fucking disgrace! They had about 2 shots on goal and couldnt even string 3 passes together! And miko is right, the old firm attack more so law of averages means they will get more penalties, there can be no doubt over the penalty on sunday as de vries thought he was playing basketball!

the sooner rangers and celtic fuck off to the premiership the better. *waves 1 shoe at celtic fans*
