Celtic have played shite the past 2 games against the Huns. I don't even think the huns played well yesterday. Celtic will win the league again.

I think the January window could be significant. I'm not sure Celtic will win the league with their current squad. The huns have dominated the midfield against them the last two games I was surprised Lennon didn't put N'tcham in from the start yesterday alongside Brown and McGregor. I think the huns have the better fullbacks too and more options up front.

 

On the evidence of the last two games the huns have got their measure and unlike last season they are not consistently dropping points elsewhere. Last season they dropped lots of points against ourselves, Hibs and Killie. Not the case this season so far anyway.

Used to Celtic winning the league now. If the huns win it, it will be utterly unbearable.

It will be.

 

But I'm also getting fed up of treble trebles and quadruple trebles and all that crap.

 

Not sure which is worst. Probably the Huns winning the league but it's a hobson's choice really.

 

Best let them get on with it. We've got enough on our plate just now getting a decent team on the park.

RANGERS is today repeating its call for the introduction of VAR (Video Assistant Referee) following Sunday’s Premiership victory at Parkhead.

 

Rangers believes Scottish referees need additional help if match officials are to get more of the big decisions correct and the club is convinced VAR would provide that extra assistance.

 

Rangers Managing Director Stewart Robertson said: “This is not a criticism of referees because they often have to perform under very difficult conditions and in a highly emotive environment, as do our players and coaches.

 

“The speed at which the modern game is played also means it is extremely difficult to make split-second calls with the degree of certainty required.

 

“We believe the introduction of VAR would help referees enormously and reduce the number of wrong decisions which sometimes have a dramatic effect on the outcome of matches.

 

“In recent weeks, Rangers has suffered from errors of judgement but it is our strong view that VAR would be to the benefit of everyone and in particular the referees themselves.”

In this month (December) alone, Rangers has suffered from three glaring errors in key matches. On December 4 at Pittodrie the referee failed to see Alfredo Morelos had been fouled inside the box and awarded a free kick outside the penalty area. The referee apologised to Steven Gerrard after the match but the damage had been done and Rangers had to settle for a 2-2 draw and the loss of two points.

 

Then, just four days later at Hampden, Rangers lost the Betfred Cup final when the officials failed to see that not just one, but three players were clearly offside when the only goal of the final was scored.

 

On Sunday, during the final game before the January break, the referee and his assistants awarded a goal even though the ball had been deflected into Allan McGregor’s net off a hand of an opposing player. That goal should never have stood and would undoubtedly have been overturned had VAR been in use.

 

A number of other incidents, including the clear foul by Julien on Alfredo Morelos as he attempted to break clear, were also missed. Instead, and inexplicably, a foul was given against Alfredo. There can be little doubt Alfredo is singled out for special attention, on and off the field of play. Indeed, some of the things said and written about him leave a lot to be desired and do nothing to suggest Scottish football is the most welcoming of environments.

 

Even Alfredo’s gesture as he left the pitch is now being portrayed in some quarters as something sinister when, in fact, it is a gesture used commonly throughout South America to indicate quite simply that something – in this case, the match – is finished.

 

However, the main point is that VAR, which is now used in many leagues throughout Europe, would help eradicate refereeing mistakes and greatly assist our match officials. At the very least, the SFA/SPFL must now seriously consider the introduction of the system at the earliest opportunity otherwise the Scottish game is in danger of being left behind.

 

Rangers has already written to SFA chief executive Ian Maxwell asking that the association look at consideration the introduction of VAR and the club is once again urging both governing bodies to give this matter serious consideration and study.

 

Rangers is aware of the financial argument against VAR but the cost to clubs which suffer from such game-changing decisions and the integrity of our game must also be given priority

Fraser Aird has been axed by Cove Rangers after being seen making a w****r gesture towards Celtic fans during Sunday’s Old Firm game.

Lol

Apparently his contract was up at beginning of January anyway so nothing major

I've said it before but it's funny as fuck when huns who are from Aberdeen try to insult Aberdeen fans by calling them sheep shaggers.

Correct, totally laughable. Utter mutants

So do they think VAR is called upon to check every single refereeing decision in a game?

 

Or is this some special use of VAR just for Rangers games where a panel of proddies watches the game and have the authority to override the referees decisions at any point.

 

Mind you, they went through all the lower divisions with special selected referees because they were "too important" to be given the same refs as the other teams in their division.

They know fine well VAR is too expensive to be implemented, it’s just another stage-managed act to put pressure on referees to let them off with things.
