spoke about loads on here i know, but the sky production for our national game is so bad its almost done in contempt. from a 15 minute build up to a semi final derby to Kris Boyd & Commons stuttering their way through an analysis. Amatuer stuff!
Boyd may be bad but by god, Commons is up there with the worst ever, tripping over his own words every minute.... "to take this penalty in this manner because at 2-0 if he does miss, this way what a complexion it changes" "when there may have been a few questions asked, may, but totally find all the answers this afternoon" "if you've got a centre forward who wants to finish either a dominant second or challenge Celtic for the league , you need a centre forward who will put these chances away" Makes Charlie Nick sound articulate.

Any highlights on BBC Scotland tonight? I can't see any on there or Sky! Very good analysis from Stewart in particular. The similarities between the Rogic goal and Calmac's from last year's semi was uncanny

Very good analysis from Stewart in particular. The similarities between the Rogic goal and Calmac's from last year's semi was uncanny Aye, identical ball and first touch.
Interestingly, the Zombie TV reckoned Dembele's touch was excellent yesterday, whereas he thought he'd miscontrolled it last year.
Whit's the commentator daein Tom!

I generally switch the sound off when watching the derby games on telly. I only turned it on at half time because I thought I might hear the rising whistling noise of steam peeping from the top of Kris Boyd's head. Just in time to hear the presenter asking him if the second half was all about damage limitation for Sevco. He had to compose himself for a moment while he contemplated the obvious correct answer ("Yes") before saying "No", instead of the preferred response that was broiling away behind his increasingly puce coloured coupon. "Is it feck ya fenian cow."

BBC Scotland sport in their lunchtime news mention St. Mirren clinching promotion and Scotland's medal tally at the games however, absolutely no mention of us beating the huns. They must be hurting

KEITH JACKSON Anything other than a Celtic win would have to be considered as a major surprise. The gap may have narrowed this season but primarily because the champions have taken their foot off the gas. With a second successive clean sheet on the line Brendan Rodgers will have his players pumped up and Scott Brown will continue to boss Rangers in midfield.
Celtic 2 Rangers 0
says a different thing about the gap in his ramblings today

Interesting snapshot of the BBC Celtic website. Just remember this is the day after we beat Rangers 4-0. So what exactly is contained in the page?
- MAIN headline is about how Motherwell 'will make make it hard' for Celtic. No mention of Rangers in the headline or the synopsis or any clue as to why we should suddenly be wary of Motherwell or why?
- SECOND story is about Celtic focusing on the league. No mention of Rangers or the result yesterday or anything related to the Scottish Cup
- Third story is the player ratings
- Fourth story is the match report
- Fifth story Celtic mentions the possibility of a Celtic win and the word 'ugly'
- Sixth story mentions the treble and an ambiguous reference to 'shame'
- From the remaining 8 'wee diddy stories' FOUR of them mention 'Old Firm' and one gives a 'fireworks warning'; one mentions 'heed warnings over Old Firm'; and one mentions 'avoid supercharged Old Firm decider'

Some facts on the game from yesterday and also a wee bit about SKY and their 15 minute build up.
Old Firm Facts on Celtic 4 Rangers 0, Hampden balloons and comfortable doings Old Firm Facts reflects on yesterday's Scottish Cup semi final, a match that really did have everything ...
Spoiler: click to toggle ByOld Firm Facts If you only listened to the first 15 minutes of Led Zeppelin IV, you wouldn’t even get as far as the vocals in Stairway to Heaven. You’d be stopping the album 21 seconds before Robert Plant told you about the lady who knows all that glitters is gold. If you watched just the first 15 minutes of Goodfellas, you’d drop out moments before learning why they called Jimmy Two-Times Jimmy Two-Times. Give up 15 minutes into Breaking Bad and you’ve just watched a bizarre short film about a chemistry teacher who enjoys driving a Winnebago in his pants. All of which is to say that 15 minutes is no time at all. Spend just 15 minutes on most activities and, chances are, at least 50% of those involved will leave unsatisfied. Apparently, though, that’s how much build-up Sky ‘SPFL sort of to an extent within reason MATTERS’ Sports felt a cup semi-final between the country’s two biggest clubs in our national stadium merited. Fifteen minutes that included TWO ad breaks, just in case we’d all forgotten to be #GambleLads in time for kick off. In fairness to Sky, it was still more preparation than Rangers put in. As the line-ups were revealed, it was a case of ‘What’s the goalie daein’?’ against ‘Where’s the goalie Bain?’ The selection of Craig Gordon was to prove one of many correct calls by Brendan Rodgers, as the keeper’s acrobatics during those seven second-half minutes when Rangers turned up were the difference between pulling off an embarrassing spanking and having to settle for a comfortable doing. Brendan Rodgers was frustrated during the game’s early exchanges as a balloon got in the way of his team’s play, but that's precisely what Graeme Murty told Andy Halliday to do. Ah yes, Andy ‘Ardy Flallibae’ Halliday. When Halliday’s name appeared on the teamsheet, you could feel the scales tipping away from ‘Cohesive Rangers performance’ and towards ‘Banter Years’. This wasn’t, however, your average Andy Halliday disappointment. This was a subbed before the break, tantrum in front of the fans, name sung by the Celtic supporters Andy Halliday disappointment. One for the ages, in other words. After stamping his lack of authority on the first 40 minutes, Halliday was unceremoniously yanked. As he headed to his seat, he received abuse from a Rangers fan and retaliated by calling him a “F**king bawbag”. Sky pundit Kris Commons admitted he could understand Halliday’s frustration but insisted footballers should be saving their outbursts for the dressing room, a point I believe he once made to Ronny Deila and John Collins in Norway. As he eventually took his seat, the midfielder finally achieved his lifelong dream of being serenaded by appreciative fans during a (there is no) Old Firm derby. Unfortunately, the fans in question were sporting green and white, and there was no hiding place for Halliday as thousands broke into “Na na na na na na na na na na na, Andy Halliday, Halliday, Andy Halliday”, to the tune of ‘Give It Up’ by KC & The Sunshine Band. ‘Give It Up’ coincidentally being Halliday’s approach to possession during the first half. Celtic supporters didn’t have it all their own way though. Goals, songs and a touch of schadenfreude made for a good day out, but there was one crucial component of the derby experience missing. The 90 minutes provided plenty of action for the Rangers TV commentary team to get initially excited and progressively more subdued about. Tom Rogic opened the scoring before Callum McGregor doubled Celtic’s advantage. McGregor took the plaudits, but you had to admire the composure and vision of Russell Martin to pick out his man in a crowded box. Rangers were handed a lifeline known as the ‘Barry Ferguson Advantage’ when Ross McCrorie’s foul in the box reduced his side to 10 men. Bobby Madden showed no hesitation in brandishing the red card, before booking Bobby Madden for dissent. Moussa Dembele coolly dinked the resultant penalty home. “Dembele’s impudent” declared co-commentator Andy Walker, prompting pundit Kris Boyd to remark “Sh**e news for his missus”. Olivier Ntcham’s penalty rounded off a victory which had Celtic fans casting their minds back to the semi-final draw, and the reaction of Rangers fans in particular. Footage of Rangers supporters celebrating the semi-final draw went viral last month, followed by Graeme Murty’s description of a “raucous and loud” reaction in his dressing room. Scott Brown was asked about the clip in a post-match interview. It was a delicate assist of a question, and Brown tucked it home with aplomb as he told viewers that “They can cheer as much as they want. I don’t think they’ll be cheering tonight”. A cheap shot maybe, but anyone associated with Rangers who genuinely expected to win this match needs to be sat down immediately with a comprehensive anthology of the Banter Years. Celtic’s official Twitter account also got a subtle dig in, referring not to Rangers but to “the Ibrox side” in a tweet during the build-up. A deflated atmosphere among the Rangers support meant there was no defiant cry of “We are the Ibrox side, super the Ibrox side…”. It was only the weekend’s second most passive-aggressive tweet, however, behind the official Aberdeen account’s “Jst h8 it wen CERTAIN ppl bottle it at Hampden”. Celtic will go on to face Stephen Robinson’s Motherwell side in the final, after Derek McInnes proved he was not concomitant with silverware. McInnes did at least defy the 'he's run out of ideas' critics, by bottling it against a team that isn't Celtic or Rangers. As for Sky, now the semis are out the road they can get back to the red-hot intensity of English football, where compelling title races and fierce rivalry are the order of the day. Fierce, fierce rivalry. TOP 5 REPLIES TO @RANGERSFC 1. “Can we go back to bursting the balloons - at least we were winning that 8-4. What a load of pish” - @McDermidMe 2. “Announce Rangers TV highlights” - @Diarmuidmac88 3. “Delete all the tweets from today and we’ll pretend this didn’t happen” - @RobbieGraham72 4. “Imagine being 3-0 down and sitting there thinking ‘You know who we need?

The last two league games between them and us have also been much closer than they should have been. We showed yesterday though that when we step up to the plate, we can blow them away. Hopefully that performance will set the tone for the rest of the season.
