Not sure I would have done this, but fair play to them, although not sure what the reaction would have been if we were beaten.

Brilliant.

Where's @jowwy when we need him ??
Bad time to face the toffees......
Shed load of injuries.
Morale seems to be at its lowest.
Worst we've been playing for years.
Then they go and get a great result.

My bum is twitching already 😕

About time this practice ,(tactic?) was stopped, referees should be deciding when the game is stopped.

Yes, quite a good showing all round.
Next up is Newcastle so an easy win for us there😀

I don't disagree, as it is blatantly obvious when it is used tactically but I suppose its still a gentleman's game for some. Although I don't believe he would do it for every team.

in this instance the attacking team (rangers) put the ball out as their player was down.

what was odd was why Partick didn't just long throw it back to them, instead of the throw - pass they were going for, which the previously injured player intercepted.

anyway all done right in the end.

That would be my issue.

The truth is, the boy lost control of the ball and the attacking player was the guy that was injured so didn't realise that the intention was to hoof back up to our goalkeeper.

I reckon all is fair in love and war, but fair play to them.

ah that make more sense for the "relay" but a bit stingy of Partick to be wanting it cleared back the Rangers keeper! A throw to halfway line would have been more than adequate, they had possession deep into Partick half when they booted it out!

So I rushed off to find out how Pep had so gravely insulted Stevie G?

"I don’t know if we are responsible for Steven Gerrard slipping at Anfield. Was that our fault?" Guardiola asked.

Have to say I thought that very amusing and hardly required a grovelling apology. Somehow I doubt Gerrard is such a sensitive soul.

I take all these with a pinch of salt these days, much like Qatari bid for Man U the other day ... they seem to lob out a news story to gauge reaction.
Casemiro back v Barca tomorrow, that's a bonus for us ... and no Busquets or Dembele, phew!
