My tuppence worth, (that's about 10 pennies in old money), the referee is a tozzer. He spoiled an even contest by being conned by a cheat, simple as. Foran's booking enraged me, a normally mild mannered man, I had to get off my seat to enquire about his paternity, he should have booked both or none, the booking was instigated by Danny Bhoy shoving an up until that point relatively innocent Richie. Strewth Anyway, we played within ourselves but still contained the misfits from hell. That was untill O'Reilly intervened and ruined my day. After that it was always going to be uphill, but we stuck to the task without really threatening the cheats. No complaints about them eventually getting the better of us, but it all depended on us keeping 11 on the park and not having the obligatory penalty awarded against us by the conspiracy. Hey ho, we expected little from this game and thankfully that's another old firm encounter out of the way without too much damage. We deserved better, but it's difficult against the corrupt and the corrupters. Sepp Blatter could be their boss, no question. Rossco was immense, in fact all the back line were cool, lets not forget that Meekings is only 19 and Gillet policed the man without a neck pretty well, considering he ripped the Dutch u21 a new arsehole. Davis excelled and Hayes is the man to get the crowd on their feet, although the far end were on their feet all game anyway. Foran worked himself to a standstill again, performing heroics front and back, Tade never got the same service he did at Killie and struggled because of it, no shame in that, Shinnie almost poked one past the giant keeper, but he foiled it and well, just well...... My MoM was Hayes, he tormented the Tics without getting into the Reilly dangerous positions, however, when he is fully fit he will be some player. Rossco and Davis and Meekings are all runners up and Esson is blameless.

Usually I'm happy to put down these shocking decisions down to the refs just being incompetent - but having watched that game, that's the closest I've ever come to believing that a referee is bent. I'm certain that, had the score been 0-0 with 20 minutes left, he would have found a reason to give Celtic a penalty. I'd love to see Samaras in front of the SFA for clearly feigning injury to get a player sent off - but the SFA will probably ignore that...just as they will inevitably refuse to rescind the red card. As for our own players today, I thought they put in an excellent performance - the back four did a very good job indeed, with Tokely as the stand out, and I thought David Davis was absolutely magnificent in midfield. The next time we play one of the Old Firm, we should probably just start the game with ten men, in order to save the referee time later on. Oh, and what on earth was the deal with that 'Famine and Oppression' banner in the Celtic end? Judging by the waistlines of the away support, there ain't been no famine anywhere near them. They were also giving the sectarian songs a good belt outside the ground after the match, with not a policeman in sight.

Im very proud to be an ICT fan today, not many teams would go down to 10 men against the Old Firm and stay as solid as we did, Stokes is one of the best strikers in the league but throughout the whole game Celtic were made to work for the chances that came their way and they didnt have that many. Now onto what everyones been talking about. Stephen O'Reilly you must be broken, that has to be the worst card ive ever seen. There was no elbow, no intent to injure Samaras, though i wanted to skelp him for the way he went down. Imo O'Reilly guessed that red card, he had an obscured view and i think his call was based purely on the reaction of Samaras. If thats the case then O'Reilly needs to take a good look at himself and if he has any decency he will admit to getting it wrong...not holding my breath though. After that credit to the boys, i think we all knew what would follow eventually but they did their best to make a game of it. Jonny was my pick of the bunch, defensively he chipped in where needed and was probably our biggest threat on the attack. Thought Josh Meekings did ok as well, this was a big test of his nerve today and i thought he contended with Celtic well. Could prove to be a decent find. Hope the club appeals Tansey's red and more importantly i hope the Panel watching has at least one brain cell between them. Roll on Tynecastle.

Also heard the entire Celtic end chanting 'fenian army' a few times. I bet these same people would cause a huge stink if they heard anyone else using the word. Absolute morons, every single one. What in the heck does any of this have to do with Scottish football in 2011? How many in the Celtic end are actually Irish? They're Scottish born and bred, so are their parents. They have absolutly nothing to do with any Irish paramilitary organisation. They're just a bunch of losers living in a fantasy world. These are the same kind of people who join gangs and cults, who need to be part of a group to compensate for their low self esteem. They all need to grow up and get a life.

Whats the point. Tokely clearly played the ball against Rangers, Hogg sent off when there were men covering, both appeals rejected.

My match summary not counting today ref called O'Reilly fourteen versus ten two offside goals cheating f*g b*s say no more

Love this picture

Like racism, I am sure Sepp Blatter probably thinks sectarianism can be sorted out with a handshake !!

The pattern has emerged for the SPL.. And it is as clear as crystal. If you are playing either Rangers (remember Tokely's brilliant last ditch stop of the Rangers player, but got nailed by the ref for his legitimate effort)or Celtic, there is little chance that you will ever find a referee who is either strong enough or unbiased enough to judge the match fairly. i.e give the underdog the expectation of a completely unbiased and equal assessment throughout the match. It's a disease where money, influence and power overwhelm the referee's common sense and he has fear of reproach and pressure from powerful forces behind the scenes foremost in his mind. No wonder we are sick of it, especially when we have more then the sneaking suspicion that ICT are the target of MORE than their share of this behaviour. As has been said above, this one judgement could alter the whole season because if we had won today the whole complexion nf our attitude and the team's future progress could have been positively affected. Terry feels that it is a waste of time going down to Glasgow to appeal anything since, clearly, the Beaks have a vested interest in these two teams. A Managers' association should be formed to constantly express the protests against these outrageous decisions and to constantly put their cases in the media, rather than to this Glasgow Council of Complacent Hypcrites. Terry says if he does that then the Beaks will go after him instead of dealing with the issues themselves. So what does that cost him or the club if they do? Is it worth his time to try to do anything at all. Defeatism, like? Currently he has no other option and maybe, if his club backs him on this, then other clubs will follow suit and the trickle of discontent will become a flood? I would much prefer that he and the club use the media to highlight the issue and their plight and point out that the only future outcome of a continuance of this nonsense is the demise of the fans will not attend matches , Celtic and Rangers will go to the wall and the remaining members of the League will form a separate Alliance and pick their own committees of judgememnt. This will inflame the controversy and that is what is needed--to shame them and to shout more boldly than the Beaks and challenge them to come out in the open and answer their critics. And shout long and hard for Video replays of the incidents just like in other sports where controversies like this are immediately defused by this means and fans are both appeased and confident that the decisions made by this means ARE FAIR AND ACCURATE. This situation is a disgrace. No justice and no fairness. The Managers must coalesce into a group who constantly lambasts these Glaswegian idiots in the media and keeps their feet to the fire daily. The fans too must strengthen Terry's and the club's position by starting a campaign of support -- a petition would be good citing their 100% support of his views and attitudes. If you want change you can't sit back and do nothing. But you never know, maybe the fates of these two large Glasgow clubs is already sealed and Rangers will be the first to hit the skids owing ..what is it..49 million pounds, which is absolutely incredible. If correct, it shows that this club is staffed by Beaks who have their head in the sand, who pay huge sums of money to players who are grossly overpaid and to do this they neglect paying their bills timeously and obviously never put money aside on a monthly basis to allow them to meet known, and large, future expenses. This is not sound fiscal policy and is a recipe for disaster. The unbelievable thing here is why such businessmen think that this kind of situation can go on for ever without their having to pay a heavy price by adopting this attitude. They probably expect HM Revenue service to "settle" with them at a future date, allowing them to cut their outstanding debt substantially. Now that is a very dangerous course to follow because the Government is in no financial state to necessarily be that sympathetic and the signs are that their days could, as a result, be numbered at Rangers F.C.--unless more wealthy backers appear out of the mist,.. backers that is who have the same strange fiscal attitudes that prevail at that club. There are not too many Romanovs around and he has already tasted the fuits of disappointment by attemting to buy success. He is lucky he has deep pockets.... Good luck Terry! It seems as if it is going to continue to be an uphill battle. Stick at it.

Abysmal couple of decisions but what else would we expect. The most disappointing thing is that we were looking good for at least a point and even after the sending off I felt we were comfortable. The only consolation is that when we look at the fixture list this isn't a game where I would immediately expect us to get anything out of it. Dunfermline are losing again, if we keep showing the improvements we are it won't be long till we've left them isolated at the bottom and we're looking to close in on the top 6

That is absolutely shocking - it was a flailing unintentional arm that slapped Samaras in the eye and he went down like a sack of coals. Even the Cellic players were not over bothered. The ref was behind the incident and could not have seen the challenge. He went by the reaction of Samaras. That has to be another appeal but the damage is done.

That's Pele's ICT you're thinking about......
