Any highlights on BBC Scotland tonight? I can't see any on there or Sky! :nono:
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!
had the exact same thought as well

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 ...

"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."

It's in chronological order.
I know that. But from a very 'Old Firm'-focused flurry of pre-match news activity in the days running up to the game, it all went very 'what game?' very quickly.

Mark my words, there are things going on behind the scenes which should be setting off alarm bells. I’m told Bates got offered just a £250 pay rise so it’s little wonder he decided it was time to go.
Do tell Kris.

King sized hangover Rangers’ problems right now start at the top – it’s high time Dave King had some major questions asked of him, says Kris Boyd
There will be Gers fans who criticise me for writing this but what's going on at Ibrox right now hurts me just as much as it hurts any of them

Is Boyd calling Murty a liar about the Sevco team cheering the draw? Or is he blaming Murty for them cheering it? I don't get this.

Is he implying that it's Murty and not level 5 that gets the papers to seriously promote a title challenge and a cup final place?

Did Boyd not claim to still believe at half time on Sunday that Sevco players still had the battle fever that had them pumping us 2-2 at Ibrox until we luckily got a man sent off?

At least he admits that the talking up of mediocre loan signings in January was just his wishful thinking. I wonder if he and everyone else will admit that this has been the case for every positive Sevco story in the past six years. Because "false bravado" sums up about 80% of Sevco media coverage and Sevco high command's own PR efforts. "Empty rhetoric" & "meat to throw to the public" as Michael Stewart put it.

From that Boyd bilge:

"Is there even a shirt deal in place for next season?
Rangers should have their jerseys manufactured by one of the big sports firms, not a smaller company — but that seems to be the way they’re heading."

Why? Companies get what they pay for and they get associated with the baggage. Which is currently as toxic as any Whyte/Green/Mather/Wallace/Llambias stuff.

For what it's worth a Tim supporting mate who works with a kit supplier, who'll remain nameless, was relieved that they did not get the Hun contract which they had bid for, and that the new club's kits will be Umbro next year.

I am not sure that'll meet Boyd's standard. :cuckoo:

Scott Brown puts in as dominant a MF display as you'll see and Matthew Lindsay still manages to dig up some old hun to have a go at him. It really kills them how good Brown is but hey just can't admit it.

I've heard it's Hummell - not Umbro.

That's a proper shampooer of a kit manufactuer unless we've been transported back to 1980s Denmark.

Jackson: It seems King’s board would rather poke out their own eyes than be forced to confront an unsightly truth.
Ralston: “Events of Sunday will not be tolerated again. The club is bigger than any individual – and their agenda. It’s a line in the sand. No more.”

Even the sports writers are not singing from the same sheet.

Good honest assessment from Bill Leckie.

BIG MATCH VERDICT Celtic’s Scottish Cup triumph over Rangers was more like The Invincibles against The Invisibles says Bill Leckie
The Ibrox side's performance at Hampden was a masterclass in being nowhere to be seen on a day that the Hoops strolled their way into the final

It got to the stage where Celtic were playing rock, paper, scissors to see who got to take their second penalty

If you think about it, Miller and Wallace rounding on the under 20's coach because he can't beat a vastly superior Celtic side is pretty disgraceful. Murty never asked for this responsibility. He's a coach, not a manager. Verbally abusing the guy and screaming at him in front of the other players (especially when one of them is the club captain) is disgusting.

Wallace signed up for the 'journey'. He took the money over a real career and now he's blowing his stack at an innocent party because the reality of his decision is finally sinking in.

Both of them should be out on the street.

Alex Rae interviewed on shortbread for his take on the latest episode in sevconia.
'I think the board have been indecisive '.
interviewer: 'they've just sacked the 2 most senior players in the team, that's pretty decisive Alex'
'maybe I didn't phrase that right'
he spent the rest of the interview stuttering and contradicting himself throughout, trying and failing to sound semi intelligent.
why anyone at the BBC thought this moron could bring any semblance of insight into this, is astounding.
perhaps having an EBT gets you a free pass on the nation's broadcaster.

Maybe concentrate on Kilmarnock kris you know the club who pays your wages. So unprofessional to be spouting that sort of nonsense when you play in the same league as the club in question.

I stopped listening to anything Rae says when he tried to take credit for Jack Ross's success as St Mirren manager. Said that he laid the bedrock for their success and he would have turned them around anyway if he hadn't been sacked :cuckoo:
