I liked the way the camera zoomed in on Ian Durrant while Naismith was being stretchered off. lol

 

I had to laugh when they did that  ;D

Christ almighty, just been  reading the comments on that Record article. The Orcs really are a sad, deluded, bitter and twisted bunch of bigotted half wits.

 

And still they claim not to care about us ::)

We were singing the Ibrox disaster "for the 4 millionth time" to be fair  ::)

 

*Edit If  that were true that would make it we have sang the song once every 20mins since it happened #statattack

I do see the irony in your post but I almost wish we actually had.  ::)

 

Even when the cunts were singing about glorious England and fuck Scotland we couldn't even muster a blast of Flower of Scotland. Our fans were shite on Saturday. Not passionate enough.

I agree with the majority regarding the Naismith assault. It happened right under my nose and at first we thought he was feigning injury to avoid punishment but was only too fucking happy to see the injury was genuine because it's what the horrible, vile little faggot deserved. His blue shirt exonerates him from punishment.  ::)

 

Having watched Naismith since he joined the Huns he's rapidly turned into a fucking horrible human being. His elbow against Dunfermline at East End Park underlined that IMO opinion. He's dirty, gurning moaning prick and as soon as he's fully recovered from his injury I will fight him. Someone set it up. Rocket can film it.

 

I did half expect Fallon to see red for his lunge but that doesn't mean that it was a fucking joke decision to give him a straight red for what was effectively a challenge in the air for a ball. Obviously Jelavic is allowed to kick whoever he wants because he is a dirty horrible hun. I'm surprised that no one's mentioning the kick out* that McGregor aimed at Fyvie (I think). It was similar to the one he aimed at Bebo last season. Obviously it being McGregor he missed but the fucking intent was there.  So aye a lot of the refereeing was shocking but the thing that disappointed me most was how fucking negatively we played. The Huns are fucking shite. How they've never lost away is beyond me unless Saturday was a real off day for them. They were there for the taking but we showed fear of their record and played for a draw and if you ask me we got what we deserved out of the game.

 

Considine did play well but Arnason and Osbourne weren't as dependable as usual. A lot of the players seemed to be slipping too (which is why Foster ended up on his arse right before their first goal). I though Clark did ok. You could tell that he hates the Huns and when their right-back got binned I was delighted. Fallon's effort levels weren't as high as I would've liked despite me telling him on Facebook that losing wasn't an option. We might as well release Mackie and Chalali for all the fucking use they are and just go with 5 on the bench.

 

The Hun support was its usual embarrassing self. Clear chants of "Ye can stick yer Tartan Army up yer arse" were heard before some of the many renditions of God Save Ra Queen. Many Rangers fans still follow Scotland closely. How must they feel when standing next to knuckle-draggers singing this? I'm so so glad that I wasn't raised as a Hun or a Tim. I can't even put into words how much I hate both insitutions.

 

Anyway.. this has to go down as another opportunity to beat the Huns wasted.

 

 

* Edit: I see Chris Crighton has mentioned this in his article.

 

Excellent post, pretty much how I read everything too.

How Naismith is not being reviled in the press is unbelievable.

 

'Poor wee Stevie, that animal Milsom deliberately put his leg in the way and has injured him really badly'

 

If that tackle had been the other way around Milsom would be getting hounded out the league.

 

As it is, it barely seems to rate a mention other than as an aside in the near-global commiseration for the wee Hun wank.

 

I'm not suprised, but I do resevre the right to be utterly disgusted and disappointed.

 

If we had played against ten men after that tackle we might have managed to scrape a draw...  ;)

 

EDIT: Oh, and I might as well say; the red card for Fallon was a fucking joke an' a'!

Had half expected a retrospective red card to have been annnounced for Milsom by now

Suprised but apparently we have lodged an appeal against Fallon's straight red.

Presume if sucessful then this gets downgraded to a yellow, and given fact he'd already had a booking this then means red, but miss one game instead of two or possibly three as things stand  ???

Would assume so.

 

Am I right in thinking ban could be extended if the appeal fails?

Rumour has it that ligament damage in his right knee has been confirmed and his seaosn is over. Nothing in the press yet though.

 

I'm finding it hard to be sympathetic. Actually I'm feeling quite the opposite. Even had to delete some stronger words that I just typed about the cunt.

Its on the record website as being out till August. I think what has not helped is the (deserved) sense of injustice and the media coverage which has been appalling and not mentioned Milsom. For instance the BBC Scotland news last night just showed him collapsing and then after awards a quick clip and mention that he had done it by challenging for a ball. At this moment in time I would like somebody at Pittodrie to go a bit Romanov and ban the BBC from the next few press conferences.

I said the very same thing yesterday and emailed the BBC about it. I'm disgusted by their coverage of the incident. I'm glad he's out till August, I hope it ruptures in a comeback game and his suffering continues.

At least the BBC have now called the tackle on Milsom 'clumsy' and have made it clear that the daft bastard injured himself. I would have used words more like 'horrendous', 'wreckless' or 'inexcusable' (actually I would use the exact words 'fucking filthy') - but I guess the BBC want 'Coisty' to spout his shite in front of their microphones again some time soon...

 

No mention whatsoever of the damage he has or might have done to Milsom...

Ian Durrant: I had a flashback to my own horror injury when I saw Steven Naismith collapse at Pittodrie

 

SECONDS before Steven Naismith's right knee had folded leaving him in agony on the Pittodrie turf one man had already turned his head away.

 

For a moment Ian Durrant had been transported almost exactly 24 years back in time.

 

October 8, 1988 is a date etched deeply on the Ibrox coach's mind as it's the day own right knee was damaged and when he saw Naismith collapse, he saw himself.

 

Immediately he feared worst for the attacker had been having a season remember.

 

That was until Saturday. When hen Naismith's joint gave way just minutes into Rangers' match Aberdeen instinct told Durrant right away. This was serious. He didn't need to hear it Rangers' medics. He just knew.

 

And that's why Ally McCoist's right-hand man sat for more than an hour on the coach beside Naismith on the way back.

 

"Naisy faces a long road back," Durrant said. "There are long days in rehab ahead and he'll have a massive mental barrier to cross."

 

Naismith wouldn't have wanted to let those Aberdeen fans who had cheered the sight of the stretcher bearers see how much he was hurting but he was distraught when he reached the sanctuary of the dressing room.

 

He also knew how bad the injury was without waiting to be told because his own memories came flooding back.

 

The 25-year-old sustained an almost identical injury to his left knee in a 2008 Scottish Cup semi-final against St Johnstone and it took eight months to battle back.

 

His desire to play again, his strength of mind and his courage were all tested and now he has to do it all over again. That's why Durrant will stay close to the Scotland player in what will be a long, dark winter for Naismith.

 

Other than the surgeon who'll attempt to repair the knee and the rehabilitation team who will work with Naismith the best equipped man to have by his side will probably be Durrant.

 

He knows better than anyone the dreadful toll these injuries can take. Cruciate ligament damage can also wreak havoc on the mind.

 

That's why Durrant's mind flashed back to Pittodrie and that day when a Neil Simpson tackle in one of the most bad-tempered games ever between the clubs effectively robbed a 21-year-old of the chance to fulfil his potential.

 

"When I saw him go down I knew right away," Durrant said. "I couldn't explain it but you just know when something like this happens, especially if you've had a similar injury.

 

"It couldn't have happened more than eight yards from the spot I was tackled and yes, I had a flashback. It just happened.

 

"It wasn't something I wanted to happen but it did. I don't know why because all I was thinking about was Steven.

 

"I felt for him because I just knew and I was already thinking about the pain and the hardship he will have to endure to get back to full fitness.

 

"It probably won't hit him until he has to go for the operation.

 

"That's when it will tell on him and then he'll have to face up to all the matches, important ones, too, that he will have to miss.

 

"He'll be sitting there watching the other lads try to win the title and the Scottish Cup but he won't be able to do anything.

 

"But his main battle will be to stay positive and strong. The operation won't be a problem because these days it's just keyhole. In and out. Quick. But the rehabilitation doesn't shoot by.

 

"It might even be worse for Steven because he's been there and he knows how tough it is to get through. He knows he'll face difficult, lonely days when the only company is the physio.

 

"Sometimes it will feel as though progress isn't there or that it's too slow but that's when he will need to focus and be strong. He'll need help but he'll get that from all of us and he knows I'll be around.

 

"I'll also be on the other end of the phone any time he wants to talk and I'll be dropping by the gym to see him. He won't be left in isolation even if there will be times when he feels he's on his own."

 

In fact a dose of Durrant could be the best medicine Naismith could take. Despite what happened to him all those years ago he fought through it and still had a terrific career but there will always be that unanswered question: Just how good could he have become?

 

He shrugs when asked and then usually comes up with one of the one-liners which have kept dressing rooms and managers in hysterics for years.

 

It's that humour which might also help Naismith, although he won't ever smile when he thinks back to Saturday.

 

He'd careered into Aberdeen's Robert Milsom, who had to go off with a bad injury, and although Naismith tried to continue he too should have called it a day.

 

But he was in such a rich vein of form he wanted to play on. It was brave but foolish.

 

"When I saw the angle of the tackle I just felt something would give," said Durrant, who instinctively put a hand to his head and drew in breath. "I could see the hypertension of the knee and I knew."

 

Then when Naismith crumpled minutes later and the stretcher bearers were summoned Durrant had to hold back his own emotions.

 

He'd been there, lying on that same turf and listening to the same noises.

 

It wasn't pleasant and he was out for more than two years during which he had several operations. Naismith, he's sure, won't require anything like that recovery period.

 

"He has to be strong enough to get through," Durrant said. "But I'm sure he will be.

 

"He'll be in the hands of the top surgeon in this field and he'll be back as good as ever.

 

"He just has to get his head around what's happened and deal with the long days in the gym. There might be a couple of rocky months ahead but he will get through them."

Being on a stretcher holding your face as your knee is strapped down is a bit of a giveaway that you may be in some pain.

 

 

"It couldn't have happened more than eight yards from the spot I was tackled and yes, I had a flashback. It just happened

 

It did happen more than eight yards from the spot where you were tackled.  If you don't believe me, I'll send you the DVD...

 

Even that article doesn't spell out that the bad injury Milsom went off with was as a direct result of Naismith's challenge.  Unbelievable.

C'mon Bobby, next you'll be telling us you still believe in Father Christmas ;)
