Celtic were out of sight and steam by HT Rangers offered nothing. Believe it or not they were infinitely better second half thats how poor they were first

TBF Celtic were brilliant first half.

Be playing against a wounded beast on Saturday. And the Rangers, too

 

They could be 4 points behind Celtic before kickoff. Don’t know if that pressure might help us

With better fortune Hearts could currently have been on 47 points and Celtic on 53. Our pen miss, their last minute goal vs United and our denied win last night.

Celtic were brilliant first half to be fair.  In Scottish terms at least they were unplayable in the first half tonight and against us, yet people still saying this is a poor Celtic team.  Need rid of Starfelt though, he’s honking.

It's clear that I missed all the excitement.

 

I didn't see anything from Rangers that makes we worry about our upcoming visit to Ibrox, yet again, it's Hearts going to Ibrox ......

And, there in a nutshell, was the motivation for the non-decision making by that cheat last night.

 

 

Last night, last week, the offside 0-1 game.

Its done to help them season after season.

yellow cards, suspension.

No yellow card, no suspension.

It just sucks that we already know going into August how it’ll look in May.

Their fans will be looking for a reaction on Sunday. We could get a skelping given our history at Ibrox.

Aaron Ramsay does not give a tuppny toley about Rangers. He is there for game time ahead of the World Cup. Winning and losing won’t be his concern

Considering how we've started the last three games, we'll be 3-0 down at HT to a Rangers team looking for a reaction.

 

 

It has a familiar feel. The initial part of the game may be cautious and containing i.e. not on the front foot against a team whose confidence may be fragile. We shall see. I've seen it before. Many times.

That's my take on it. I wonder if he'll dramatically change it to make a point.

Dunno. Ramsey isn't the type not to try. Rangers need him because they lost Hagi and, like my wife, they just cannot ignore a bargain, even if it is not a bargain...

Sevco will be thinking -

If only our next game was against a team who are even worse in first half of games. A team who look scared fir 30 mins and then slowly try to go forward.

Oh wait......

Celtic were so far ahead they took their foot off the gas and it became a non event, they could even afford to bring Odd Job on for the last half hour.

Well that was a bit of an eye opener. That Rangers team doesn't look anywhere near as well organised as it did under Steven Gerrard. Celtic absolutely battered them in the first half. Which makes me feel a little bit better about what happened to us in the first half of our last two visits to Parkhead. Rangers got exactly the same treatment we did.

 

I didn't really believe Celtic could win the league with that defence they have. But after watching that tonight I would have to admit that they definitely could do it. 

 

Final thought: It was nice to see Rangers defence get absolutely shredded after the way they refused to cough up the little bit of extra money for John Souttar. Serves them right.

i don’t think they are taking their foot off the gas, I think they are starting games with such intensity they simply can’t keep it up..

 

happened against us at parkhead and we should have got something from the game, happened again at tynecastle.   They are completely gone after 60 mins.. 

 

to be fair I’m not surprised, the intensity they are starting games with is imoressive

Sunday will be a very different game, just because Celtic played a certain way against them, doesn’t mean we can just go out and blow them away like they did.

 

I hope people understand this.

We need to start going for the jugular from the off. 
 

This team has potential but I loved the way Burleys team attacked from kick off. Robbie being part of that and seeing it’s success, it’s surprises me he’s not not drilled that into the team.

Happy to help.

Sevco also wishing to play a team with 8 defenders who aren't allowed to cross half way line until 30th minute -especially away from home.

I called it at half time that the fun was over, and there would be a shit second half. 

 

Didn't even need the crystal ball.

We need to start believing we can and impose ourselves onto the opposition no matter who we are playing. 
 

Things will never change by allowing the OF to dictate how you play, make you feel inferior. 
 

It was a long time ago but when Ferguson was at Aberdeen he worked on attitude and belief. 
 

Hopefully we get a result and it grows from there.

So after the game  where was your perspective post about Celtics game v Utd

You could have chose Livi's 3-1 victory over Hibs at Easter Road on Sat to put into perspective last nights result after the game?

Or do you pick and choose what games to be perspective about?

 

My opinion, we were poor for first 60mins v a Celtic team who were not great (good, but not great) on the night. 

How that was affected by Celtics performance tonight v Rangers (or Dundee Utd) I don't know.

Even Robbie Neilson himself agreed we needed to do better first half of the game v Celtic 🤣. (I must have missed your post having a go at him for that)

 

Some fans have a real problem at the thought/idea of wanting to do better at times v Old Firm.....weird.

Some fans have a problem enjoying a result and then being able to discuss the performance....weird when they are on a fans forum where performances etc get discussed.

 

I'll leave the childish wee comments to you.

Rangers look ordinary when up against better opposition,  surely we can at least put there back line under a little pressure at the weekend? Still expecting to lose mid you.

Okay, okay.😵

To be serious though - we now have some very good players In fact, a whole team of them

Our management and back room are probably the best we have had.

It is a mystery to me that we start each game so defensively.

We don't have the pace or talent of Celtic - but if we allow a fairly poor Sevco team to dominate from the start, we are not helping our chances.

Shit ourselves Sunday? Like Rangers did tonight?

 

What if both teams shit themselves in the first half?

We have to go 4-3-3 on Sunday, press from the off and give them no time on the ball. Usual 2 in the middle of the park will be a disaster, hasn’t worked in any big game so far. 
 

Gordon 

 

Atkinson 

Sibbick

Souttar

Kinglsey 

 

Baningime 

Devlin 

Haring 

 

Ginnelly

Simms 

McKay


 

I fully expect a red card for Devlin if things are tight.

Celtic blew us away first half last week. Celtic blew Rangers away tonight. I'm not sure which part needs elaborated upon?

Is this this the same 'poor sevco' who have lost 2 games in the last 60+ ?

All makes sense but - 

Fairly poor rangers team? They've lost 2 games all season, in fact 2 games in 2 season. 

 

They are not fairly poor.
