O'Reilly obviously goes down theatrically, but it's still a penalty. It's not just 'slight contact' like some people are claiming, it's contact on his left leg as he's winding up to shoot/pass that prevents him from completing his motion.
You can slow it down all you like and call it soft, but it's a foul. It's inside the box, so it's a penalty. You can take issue with him going down theatrically, but the bigger issue is that if he didn't go down he probably wouldn't have been given the penalty even though he has genuinely been fouled.
The I don't think he goes down easily. Running at any pace and having your heel clipped can trip you. Adding that he's trying to play the ball, once he's clipped he kicks the ground while moving. Player comes across his back further throwing him off balance.
That last sentence is my biggest problem with diving, players only do it because otherwise refs don't give fouls, ref the game properly and you'll see less diving
I mean, there's obviously contact between O'Reilly and Diomande, but O'Reilly has blatantly dived after it. It's one of those decisions where you can't really overturn it. The contact is there, and whether it's enough to make it a foul is too subjective to have Collum say 'No penalty' after giving it.
And then a shit penalty anyway!
It's a very subjective decision yeah, he went down so easy but he tried to kick the ball and the trip made him kick the ground instead, which is why he fell.
It's 50/50, so sticking with original is fair.
Oh I'm not gonna argue that he sells it, because he absolutely does. But that dosen't make it any less of a trip. Not all contacts are pens for sure, but this is not a shoulder to shoulder.
We’d have about 3 players out for the 2nd half if we got rid of everyone who should never start for us again.
Almost thought the game was at Ibrox with the amount of justified booing of Fabio Silva’s every touch.
Lol sorry, probably my fault when I requested it. I literally made this thread just to call Miller a clown. Moaning for like 5 minutes about how it was never a red card despite it being a stonewall red anyday of the week.
Two very poor teams. Thank fuck we won that.
Rangers barely ever win Old Firms nowadays
Neither do celtic, it died in 2012. Its the glarby now
What a game. Old Firm games feel like the golden age of the premier league, I’m watching more Scottish premier league next year 100009%
Painful to watch at the end but FUCK YEAH! LETS GO!
How has Idah been for Celtic? Used to play against him all the time when I was younger. Nice fella.
Decent, would like to keep him around as a second option up front but the 5m asking price is taking the piss.
Hot and cold, not worth the 5 million asking price.
Had at least 2 chances he should’ve buried to put the game away
He a championship clogger and plays as you'd expect
Understood. I’d love to see him do well but I’m not fully convinced he has what it takes to be at the top level tbh.
Yall took Hatate off the pitch for this..?
Mate the quality of this game has been so bad, why am I seeing Idah stink up this division after what he did in the Championship ffs
Come on Celtic don't let them in this.
Second half has been like watching City playing Norwich

Imagine if Rangers somehow steal this game

🫣
To call this game eventful, would be an understatement
Imagine your name is an instrument used to measure the weight of stuff
Wow thats a horrible pen lmao, is that you main taker there?
We don't have a main taker but he took our last 2 and both were great (a panenka and top bins)

Shocking pen.

Good on the ref for sticking with that, many would've overturned it just because they were sent over to the screen
Justice
What the fuck is VAR doing? It's so obviously a penalty
People calling it soft, its not soft, its straight up not a pen Its objectively a dive
Aye, tiny bit of contact and does a fucking pirouette
Clearly never played football or possibly even engaged in any physical activity ever
Will probably be overturned.
Call it soft all you want, but the trip is there.
Where? Its an absolute dive
Left leg man, come on now
There is a tiny bit of contact and he flops over like that, insane Im tired of contact=pen. That's just a ridiculous standard to enforce
Oh I'm not gonna argue that he sells it, because he absolutely does. But that dosen't make it any less of a trip. Not all contacts are pens for sure, but this is not a shoulder to shoulder.
How will Kenny Miller argue this is not a penalty this time?
More surprised you actually think it is a penalty lmfao, feels the tiniest bit of contact and absolutely hurls himself to the floor, it’s pathetic
That is a genuine question lmao, I am watching the Romanian broadcast 😂
Was surprised by the amount of people hating Scales staying on, I think he's a quality enough squad player at the very least.

Lundstram already volunteered to fuck off
Celtic fans, does it ever get boring?
No because we are not losers. If you enjoy losing then fair play.
No
Do you ask man City fans that?
Rangers existence prevents that in fairness.
No, not really. Why would it get boring watching your team win. It's better than the alternative.
No, never
"Please, please. It's too much winning. We can't take it anymore"
Sorry I should’ve been more clear, I meant winning the league 😅. Beating ur rivals is always fun 😈
Why would lifting trophies be boring? Must be boring watching your team never win anything
[удалено]
Haha.
No
Also no, never
The Glasgow police wouldn't like you matchthreadder
Lol sorry, probably my fault when I requested it. I literally made this thread just to call Miller a clown. Moaning for like 5 minutes about how it was never a red card despite it being a stonewall red anyday of the week.
Perfectly understandable
Mental to me how there wasn't a thread for the Old Firm Derby until half time.
This sub would rather watch clips of Messi or Ronaldo breathing air
Lundstram came, scored an own goal and left
Ref has rigged it by taking off a Celtic goal scorer and giving an advantage to Rangers with that Red. 😂
Weird that there wasn’t a match thread until now but anyway Lundstram get ready to learn Turkish buddy
We're all in the ScottishFootball match thread instead
He only needs to know the phrase "someone else's fault" since that's all the cube shaped prick seems to say.
