Another Old Firm game down and another towering performance from our midfielders. This game proves yet again what I've believed for the past few seasons, We Are Better Than Them!!!!!! Can't put it any clearer than that.
It will be interesting to see how many pundits will have a go at Walter 'No Plan B' Smith after he parked the bus at home against ten men. I'm sure like many at the game today as soon as Forster went off and Whittakery scored the penalty I feared the worst. Half time wasn't very nice having to listen to the Shame during the break. However the siege never came, if anything we looked as if we had the one man advantage. Diouf looks like a Nacho Novo with a shittier haircut, kissing the badge and whipping up the crowd when he takes a corner or Throw in. Then there is Naisy, what a waste of space he is. A sour faced, cheating little Hun prick.
The tackle on Wilson might have been a Red Card on it's own and the dives inside the box were laughable, glad that would be seen worldwide.
This performance, never mind result, should give the squad and supporters further belief that we are more than capable of scooping the lot this season. In the last two seasons we have had the quality but not the bottle, it looks now we have both.
That's twice in a month I have left Ibrox feeling so good, let's hope we can keep it up over the next mont Bhoys and Ghirls. 'Mon the Hoops!!!
P.S. Where the Fuck did Broony get a left from ???

Selection Headache, A Good Problem?
As we come to probably the biggest few weeks of the season, 3 Old Firm games and a trip to Tannadice, The Bhoys have hit form. Players are returning from injury and International duty respectively, meaning Neil Lennon has a few questions He must be asking himself.
1. Does he stick with the guys who have been doing the business for him lately?
2. Does he throw the fit again Rogne and Majstorovic into the Cup game on Sunday or stick with Mulgrew or Wilson?
3. How will the Midfield dynamic change now that Ki has returned from the Asian cup?
For me over the next few weeks it's a no brainer, since the turn of the year ( barring the draw at Hamilton ) the team has been playing some of the best football Parkhead has seeen in years. The main reason I think is stability in the starting XI, something we didn't have in the first half of the season. This I think can be put down to Neil Lennon finding the right mix of players and formation, I think we've found that right shape now, with 3 midfielders playing narrow and one further forward and wide on the left. Too many times this season and many before we seemed to play a 4-2-4 and were run over in the midddle against teams who packed the midfield. Now going by the last few games we seem solid in the middle and I think that spreads confidence to the defence knowing they are not exposed as much.
With this system as well players in our squad can slot straight in without much fuss. Guys like Ki, Forrest, Juarez, McCourt and Ljunberg are more than able to do a job when called upon.
In terms of the backline when they are all fit I think we should go with Rogne and Big Danny Huneater. Not since Balde, Valgaeren and Mjallby has our centre backs had a good understanding, although regarding this Sunday I would go with Mulgrew and Big Dan (if fit) only because the problems Rogne has had with injury in the past and maybe a good idea to give him more time to recover.
So onto the cup tie at Mordor, I have never given a prediction for an Old Firm game in my life and I'm not going to start now.... All I will say is IF we play the way we can and come out from the start in their faces then we are more than capable of winning.
Hail Hail
