The Old Tolbooth Posted May 19, 2008 Author Share Posted May 19, 2008 Can't agree with you on that one John. The season lasts for 38 games. Clubs are under an obligation to play their strongest side in all of them irrespective of whether the game is at the start or end of the season. Having said that, I admit that managers should have the flexibility to blood youngsters and new players, but not to a stupid extent. I would agree if there was a rule in place stating that all teams must be seen to field their strongest 11 in all league matches etc, however, with other teams bleeding youngsters in the past in final games of the season and nothing being said, then they surely couldn't condemn United for doing so.

alwaysthereinspirit Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 If both Rankgers and Celtic finish on the same points and goal difference who has home field advantage for the Glasgow riots. GIRFUY Gordon Smith and the SPL if we need a play off to decide the league. It'll be good for Scotland though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right off the bat you drop any player on penalty points who could miss the start of next season by getting red or yellow. Then you have a couple of players come down with OF type injuries. The ones that keep you out of Wednesday internationals but clear up for the league games 3 days later. Before you know it your down to 7 fit first teamers and a bunch of kids. Come on Levein you know it makes semse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heart & soul Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 0-3 it's all over. Looks like Rankers have ferked it up even though the Midden looked pretty horizontal during most of the game. Thought it was disgraceful the way Weir and chums all attacked O'donell towards the end there after he went in for that header. Man handling, arms up, jostling the ref etc. yet only one Weir and O'donnell get a yellow card. If Miko did anything like that in a game he'd be in Jail.

Thunderstruck Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 Shocker! Tangoman gets something right - the pitch was a mess. Don't these people own a roller? They would have got a better surface at St James pitches along the road. It is long past time for SPL to get some sanctions in place for clubs that can't or won't keep their pitches in good order.

I think Motherwell / Gretna 'lost' 6 or 7 games betwen them due to Fir Park being waterlogged. Not a dickey from the SPL about that though ? do you think we would have received such leniency ? Anyway, getting back to Thursday night. It's certainly going to be tense with both games being very intriguing. Levein's stance will be very interesting that's for sure.

Jammy T Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 How the feck Kirk Clubfoot ever made the right back spot his own since Hutton left I'll never know. I've got a couple of observations having watched that trash tonight. 1. Rangers simply cannot chase a game, or chase goals, with any conviction at all. That was kick and chase football at its most mediocre. Save for Fergusons first forward pass of the season 2. I cannot believe a team of that standard are neck in neck to win the SPL 3. With the money Hearts have spent and pished up the wall since Burley left we could EASILY have a team playing better and more effectively than that Rangers squad of journeymen I dont really give a feck about 1 and 2 - if genuine Rangers fans are happy with the fayre they are being offered I'd be surprised. There remains a good chance Rangers will end up with just the CIS cup this season IMO But point 3 sticks in my craw. When you see the mediocrity at the top of the SPL 3 years since Vlad came in, it hits you square in the napper how much he has screwed up and wasted an opportunity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaun.lawson Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 That's correct John, yet most posters on here want Rangers FC to lose the title to Celtic Hearts have some strange supporters That very same season, Hearts asked Rangers to postpone our league game at Ibrox to help us recover from the Stuttgart game, having acceded to their similar request a year earlier. Rangers refused. The previous season, Rangers fans celebrated a sickening injury to Gary Wales in a meaningless (for them, anyway) end of season game: a leg break after which Wales was never quite the same player again. Also the previous season, Rangers benefited from a string of ludicrous refereeing decisions against Hearts both in the Scottish Cup (Dallas bottling sending Amoruso off), and at Tynecastle (Tugay handball). And that's even before I mention Andy Davis! Yet many posters on here still want Rangers to win the title. Hearts have some strange supporters.

We_are_the_Hearts Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 My decision is based on the players. The dissent and aggression that went unpunished from Rangers again last night was shocking. Ugly ***** with screwed up faces like Boyd, Novo, Weir, Thomson swaggering about the pitch and trying to intimidate the ref. Phannies the lot of them. Celtic are far from my favourite team but at least they go out and try and entertain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
