Ridiculous tackle that on Barton. A disgraceful tackle!!!
Good free kick to equalize although I thought the keeper should of saved it. He got enough hand on the ball to keep it out

The orange hymn book has been out all game.

You know Frankie logic, if there are no charges it didn't happen!
Cracking free kick but what was that Killie player thinking going in like that on Barton? Going to be tough for Killie to get any points now.

Their centre halves tonight were poor as were Barton and Rossiter.
Barton needs to stop making comments about Celtic and start concentrating on his performances. He thought it would be easy up here.

Rossiter played? Didnt notice.
Barton doesn't have the legs or ability to run games in Scotland. His always talked a good game but that's about if.
Very lucky not to have a broken leg tonight, that tackle was filthy.
I thought the RB was the best player tonight. Good goal and put in some very dangerous crosses.
Seen milk turn quicker than Hill.
Gotta admit - tonight was the first close-up look at the team that MW has assembled. My opinion hasn't changed - we are well short of 2 or 3 players minimum and have basically spunked a few million on a couple of wage thieves with absolutely no sell-on value.
We need a game-changer and a finisher in out team plus a solid central defender and I highly doubt Senderos and a couple of loans are going to solve that, basically we have shopped in the bargain basement of English football and bought duds thus far.

Didn't hear a thing. You'll have to stop going out of your way to be offended by turning up your TV to hear all those supposed bad songs.

Kranjčar is a game changer and Garner looks to be the striker we have been after with physical presence. This same pitch gubbed Waghorn last season, gubbed Wilson before the game (which meant Hill was thrown in) and gubbed Dodoo during the game. It's why we are a tinpot league when clubs can't even afford grass to play on.
The game should have been won with the dangerous balls put into the box and the referee never helped out much with his bizarre decisions. I never thought we'd lose that game even at 1-0 down, it was about their only chance. They have to stop conceding that first goal and they need Senderos or another defender to come in and to play either Barton or Rossiter, not both. I think Holt is missed with his late runs into the box.

Ironic, given the lads your fans sing about did so in 1996.

I agree, fantastic draw. But Celtic imo will get humped royally by all 3 home and away, but hell enjoy it. 30m will soften the blow. We NEED to get into Europe next season to at least close the gap financially.

Clancy et al are abysmal. Scots refs are shocking. They are as bad in the SPL as we had in Divs 3 and up. Linesmen are as bad, woefully off the pace.

If Barton or Brown had done that, we'd never hear the end of it. I hope Clark publicly apologises.

I used to roll my eyes at claims that away fans of the OF are worse, but I don't know. At Ibrox, and I am being honest to god, you haven't heard No Pope of Rome for years. The Billy Boys was sung vs Hibs last year (for the volume after we made it 3-2), the Sash (which isn't offensive) barely gets sung. The only semi-regular is No Surrender.
TBH, I haven't No Pope at the away games I go to (I don't get to all), and it wasn't trotted out in Feb in the cup game at Rugby Park (mind you we were all too cold and soaked thru
). Both the Glasgow clubs still have the hymn books and those who sing it, but lets also remember both supports (as the BBC doc this week pointed out) are FAR better in this regard than we used to be. Those hymn books are dying out.

Senderos is a quality player, but I would also look at Jack Hobbs or others. I am not at all convinced by either Wilson or Kiernan. In fact the latter is getting worse.
I agree on Barton, he has shown glimpses of superb play, but has also been poor at times. He and Niko will need some time. But he does need to start bucking ideas up.

No Pope of Rome was belted out once. No Surrender a few times. As a Gers fan, I have no problem with the latter, I could do with the former being consigned to the back of the hymn book.
You DO have a point: the Bhoys here should deal with their own questionable songs before they start pointing fingers.

Loath these pitches. But of course any complaint by us or Celtic, Dons etc is just ignored as the big boys being 'arrogant'.
We are suspect at the back, 4-3-3 imo doesn't and isn't working, we are not direct enough in the last third. There isn't a problem that cannot be resolved, and we have the players or the ability to bring in players to do so, but we have a manager whom its questionable wants to change. Which is why whilst I support Warburton, I am not and never have been part of the silly 'in warbs we trust' magic hat brigade.
The play now at Ibrox is miles better than what we had, but we are far from the finished article. Top 4 and a cup is my satisfactory season. Celtic will win the league, but we have a great opportunity to build a team to win next season and start the OF dominance again.
Hope to god Dodoo isn't injured badly. He has shown some pace and skill in his games so far.

First quiet game from the wee man last night, and still he shouldn't have been subbed. Rossiter has been superb since joining.
Tavernier is good going forward, can be a wee bit suspect going back.
Hill is a back-up, I am much more worried by the downward spiral of Kiernan.

Shameful, and the worst is they are openly blatant about it.
Anyone else here watch Scotland's Game this week?.
Proof the BBC can still make excellent and fair football docs if they can be arsed.
Souness on Nicholas, vs Wales 85. Ooft. LOL
