Did Match of the Day really ignore the scandalous offside decision that likely cost Burnley at least a point?

 

It was an automated offside mate. Humans just confirm it. There was nothing scandalous about it. 

 

Can we stop trying to pretend Burnley deserved anything out of the game? They were tortured.

I find Celtic and Rangers and the whole Scottish league really intriguing

 

They seem to have huge squads and buy so many players from "lesser" leagues where they can pay more money than in Holland, Belgium, Scandinavia, Japan etc. The amount of resources they seem to pour into signings only to be knocked out of Europe early and also it's only a 2 horse race in the league

 

Rangers are spending £10mil on an Everton striker who's never scored for them and a lad who scored a boatload for Abderdeen but was rubbish in La Liga. Just seems unfathomable to me that Russel Martin can be doing such a bad job when you have that kind of resource compared to the rest of the league

Looking forward to the Old Firm - away fans in the ground for the first time in a while too

 

It's been a very strange build up to the game, I've heard from fans of both teams that winning today would be a plaster over an axe wound as they're both completely scunnered over how their clubs are being run.

Celtic fans despise their board, they have like 100m in the bank but the board have spent about 8m this summer, mainly on cheap punts who Rodgers doesn't seem to trust and their stale, disjointed squad ended up suffering one of the most humiliating defeats in its history against Almaty.

Rangers fans despise Martin and want him gone already, he's been backed to the hilt by the board but he's squandered a lot of the money on dross and has fallen out with senior members of the squad who don't agree with his methods, Tavernier, Raskin, Igamane etc. They've been dire on the league and got slapped around silly by Brugge.

 

Celtic's attack is misfiring and Rangers' defence is as firm as a NikNak.

 

The stoppable force vs the moveable object. Somethings got to give

If someone wanted to cancel the entire sport of football and cited today's Old Firm as their main reason, I'm not sure anyone argue against it. It makes our game against Leeds look like 1970 Brazil vs 2010 Barcelona. Hearts, Hibs or Aberdeen will never have a better chance to win the league than this season. Rodgers is absolutely finished. Another manager who the game has left behind.

More nuance to it I’m sure. But I view Martin like a bit of a Rodgers Jr. 


Passing for passing’s sake. Loads of meaningless possession. Not creating anywhere near as much as you should. Over-playing when there is no need. Huge self-confidence that has morphed into full blown arrogance. So they now can’t accept the fact they may actually be wrong and they need to tweak things. 
 

Have I missed anything?

Celtic have been far more guilty of that, they're so one-paced, Rangers have reverted back to their tried and tested chaos ball that worked for Clement last season in the EL and Old Firms. Both squads are devoid of any quality, I can't believe Kieran Tierney is still able to walk without a zimmer frame let alone play professional sports!

In an era where every facet of a professional footballers' life is optimised for peak performance and their diet is controlled by the calorie, Joe Rothwell gives me the vibes of a bloke who smokes 40 a day and will sink a few pints in a shithole pub after the match. He looked exhausted when he was subbed ON! I like him!
