Yes! Rangers beat Celtic 3-1 today.

You really can't beat an Old Firm derby!

Hooray Rangers!!! (hates celtic, coz he's a lakers fan, muahahahahahaha)

LOL!!! Celtic is pronounced Kel-tic

It isn't when it comes to the football team.

 

[alidsl]

I've always pronounced the team "sel-tic" but I would pronounce a celtic shield/whatever "kel-tic"

Pretty sexy huh

I did watch arsenal hammer newcastle the other night, I feel so sorry for kruhl though. After the first goal the camera zoomed in on him and you could lip read him saying "fuck"

Bloody typical that for once Arnse plays a strong side rather than grooming his youngsters and we play the kids. Never mind though, we've got more important things to worry about like the derby tomorrow.

QUOTEWTF thats such crap refereeing in the spurs united match

Crap refereeing and crap coverage, took an age for ESPN to show what actually happened. Commentator says "The ref was lookign the other way", then straight after shows a replay of the ref looking straight at the ball.

Nani dives for a pen, and grabs the ball. Ref waves it away, doesn't book him for diving or for a deliberate handball - Gomes presumes it's a free kick and the ball must be out of play seeing as Nani's held the ball. Gomes puts the ball down, Nani makes a miricle recovery from writhing on the floor like he was going to die and runs over to the ball. Gomes asks the ref what's going on, the ref makes a vague gesture with his hands like "Go on". Gomes is like "What? Take the kick? He's standing next to the ball." Nani puts it in the net and celebrates. Linesman flags. Ref discusses it with the linesman, with Ferdinand about 6 inches from his face intimidating him, ref overrules the linesman and gives the goal.

Guess that's how games are reffed at Old Trafford though, he was probably already worried about Fergie complaining over him not giving a pen for Nani's original dive.

Bloody haters and their excuses. Of course it doesn't matter that the 80+ minutes before that, United was actually demolishing Spurs. No, they choose to see what they want. Shut up!!!

They were only 1-0 up, if that had gone against Man U to make it 1-1 you'd be seething.

 

[Shinigami357]

Yeah right. Spurs were about as close to scoring as liverpool is to winning the league. They weren't gonna score, anyone could see that. God, haters and their innate stupidity, really. Go stuff yourselves and continue cheering your clubs.

QFT, Spurs were superbad, like really shit. Man U won rightly.

 

[XXLANCEXX]

Michigan State Did Horribly Yesterday lol

Apart from hitting the post and forcing Van der Sar to make some very good saves, nowhere close

If anything, until Nani's goal Tottenham were beating Man U to the ball almost every time in midfield

 

[BlueStar]

What a result yesterday. absolutely hammered the mackems. They were crowing all week about how they were better than us in every department and they were so sure they had us well beat. There were hardly any away fans left when Bent scored his consolation goal

Yeah, right... Thing is United was beating them by goals by then. And in football goals matter more than getting to the ball. Such noobity.

 

[iNFiNiTY]

Gomes should not have assumed a free kick and thrown the ball 10 yards in front of him if it was a free kick. Nani twice looked at the ref for confirmation before putting it in the goal. Just stupid goalkeeping, the ref maybe could have been clearer but no excuse for Gomes.

Also anyone saying Spurs dominating the game is mental, just look at the stats and shots on target. VdV had a nice shot and one post hit and that was their total chances, hardly even direct chances more just long range efforts.

 

[alidsl]

But it WAS a free-kick, Nani had his hands all over the ball

 

[iNFiNiTY]

Whistle not blown, flag not up = no free kick. Advantage was assumed to Spurs, then Gomes stupidly throws the ball ten yards forward without actually confirming there was a free kick.

Whistle not blown, flag not up = no free kick. Advantage was assumed to Spurs, then Gomes stupidly throws the ball ten yards forward without actually confirming there was a free kick.

And when the ref plays advantage and the opposition immediately get the ball, then play gets pulled back and the free kick is awarded. Which is presumably what the linesman flagged for, before the ref, after waving all the spurs players away, allowed Ferdinand to stand 6 inches from his face and influence his decision.

QUOTEThing is United was beating them by goals by then.

Not by goals, by a goal. Fergie would have gone absolutely mental if that had gone against Man U.
