Shameful display

Was the Ref a Mason? That's "your" usual excuse.

"your" as in Celtic supporters of a certain "Christian" bent.

If you understand the rules then simply answer the question. If the ball is the wrong shape then simply wait till egg-chasing is discussed. Stop trying to drag religion into this. That is "your" usual strategy.

So there's never any bad decisions against rangers? Ever? What about the aston villa / man u game... no bad decision there?

So if the neutrals agree that the brown sending off wasn't a great decision, I guess that's conclusive proof of a masonic plot. The good thing is, when you view this b*llocks through the eyes of people who've nothing to do with the small minded nonsense of ireland and west if scotland, you see it for what it is ...

Just answer the question and stop rambling ya minceheid.

As the two teams involved are Rangers and Celtic then one is not discussing the actual game but what happened at the game.

What I was trying to do was give some of the Celtic supporters the benefit of the doubt in that they're not all bigots, surely?

But hey, if you wish to go all defensive...

Well the answer is yes ... so what? You want a debate? You want to look for the honest truth or do you just want to justify your small minded, ingrained from day 1 prejudices?

BTW it's been scientifically proven that athiests are more intelligent than religious people. So I feel justified in saying my views are better than yours.

Weston is one of the better looking Rangers supporters.

One for the neutrals. Is this not 6 of one and half a dozen of the other?
I would have said that whatever punishment was meted out to one ought to have been equally dealt out to the other. Instead the ref chose to red card the celtic player and show no card at all to the gers player. And people worry why we question the refereeing?

In my (un)biased opinion, it's clear that Brown is the agressor and Lafferty is trying not to get involved. The reason Brown is flailing about is becuase he's the nutjob going in for the nutjob.

Was it a red card? I'd say yes, but a bit harsh. You've seen players get away with it before, but in my view it's far worse than what Kenny was red carded for before the last OF game.

End of the day, the better team won on the day and that's the first OF game this year I can say that.

Brilliant!! You accuse me of having "ingrained" prejudices, then jump to the conclusion that because I am a Celtic fan I must be some sort of raging pro-irish RC fanatic.
I have not been inside a Church of any description in years, and served in the British Army for almost 13 years. Probably don't quite fit your stereotype but never mind eh?
So you admit that the decision was wrong. Good......progress at last. Now, in light of his "previous", do you think that the mystical Video review panel might convene to decide whether Lafferty's actions should be reviewed, or does it only retrospectively apply punishment to players from other SPL teams?

And you're still a c0.ck

I don't think he said that, it can clearly be construed as violent conduct. Harsh, yes, innocent, no.

Before or after he had Brown round the neck/head and was pushing him downwards?

I don't have a problem with whatever colour card Brown got. My issue is that the ref decided that Lafferty was entirely innocent in the scuffle. I don't feel that he was. Anything but.

End of the day, the better team won on the day and that's the first OF game this year I can say that.

My (un)biased opinion is that even had Brown not been sent off, we would probably have got no more than a draw. That would not have been good enough for us to overhaul you. More baffling tactical decisions from TM and a stubborn insistence on repeating past mistakes.
In a bizarre way, this defeat here might actually speed up TM's demise, so for that fact alone it might be a silver lining for us.
