I'm very proud to say that I didn't watch a minute of either game and I have no intention of watching a minute of any other pointless friendly fucking international. An absolute waste of time.

Christie will get a break soon enough, a whole seasons worth of a break

surely not, the best tactic when it comes to playing celtic is to sit deep and absorb wave after wave of pressure.

the only consolation is I don;t see any confirmation that it's Hampden...yet

Yes, I absolutely 100% agree. We've kept on to Rogers, loaned him out over the past couple of seasons, surely that was because he was seen as a potential number 1. You take him back into the fold to sit on the bench as cover, then when that cover is required you bring somebody in and shite all over him. If I was him I would be absolutely fucking livid. If he isn't capable of stepping up to the plate then don't have him warming the bench, it's an absolutely fucking ridiculous state of affairs.

You've dropped Considine but in all honesty I'd also drop Woodman, Logan and O'Connor from that starting line up. Problem is, as has been mentioned previously in other threads, who to replace them with.

We're fucked and with that defense we'd be fucked before half time. Considine will be put to the sword as any half wit can see that we are shaky as fuck down the left. Add AoC into the mix and we're completely shite down the middle. Ball, I'm sorry, in his last outing he was marginally less useless than Tansey was against the hun. Having well and truly made a cunt of it against Hibs on Saturday I fully expect some Calderwood type tombola selection. The tims have to travel back from their Europa game on Thursday for this, even extra time and pens on a really heavy pitch wont be enough for us to give them a game. Defeatist or realist? I'll leave that up to you.

Nah, while Ball may have had his best game for us, that's not really much of a benchmark. He fannied about and let the ball through him cheaply for their goal, some of his passing was woeful as well. But, if I was to find a positive, he was better than Tansey was in his last game for us.

Hopefully you mean as a bench warmer. To take a loanee in to replace Rodgers would be a fair kick in the steens for him.

fucks sake, not another loan signing.

no shock there. Who in their right mind would want to work for those fucking idiots that run our game? They really are a bunch of clueless inept knobbers. The next poor bastards they approach will now know that they were second/third/fourth choice. They'll just end up letting the racist keep the job full time.

Tricky one that, I'm really warming to Stewart. I'd ditch AoC from that holding midfield role in front of the defence and play a more attacking line up, but who to drop from McGinn, Stewart, Christie, Shinnie, McLean, GMS

Cunts have made a few signings but they've not played a competitive match together, so good time to go heid first into them. More importantly though, I don't seem to see this advertised on the telly anywhere.

A pre-contract is an intention to sign, but I'm not quite sure how legally binding it is. I'm sure there have been cases in the past where a pre-contract hasn't been honoured. Fuck, we keep the player and get some cash for him, sounds ideal. Gives us a bit of time to get a replacement sorted out. A shrewd bit of business by the club I'd say.

By covering some of it himself, you surely just mean taking a pay cut, or is it some kind of tax scam....huns are good(ish) at that kind of thing

Nigel Adkins may want to give that prize cunt Warnock a shout and ask him if provincial scotch clubs like us are gagging for a cheap deal to be done.

He also signed a contract extension, so hopefully his development at morton helps prepare him for a better run in the first team next season. Got to be some midfielders incoming though...surely.

Craig Storie's been punted.

I get that what you have posed here is a question, although I don't quite get why that is specifically aimed at my post because there's nothing in what I said that indicates that is what I meant. But, since you asked, no, no it doesn't. Him telling the hun to ram it will not magically make his selections against celtic more attack minded and in their face. It wont see him drop Logan for a couple of games to sort himself out, it wont see McLean dropped to the bench or Tansey shipped to Formartine either, but it has hopefully given the team a bit of a lift. Lets see how it goes tonight if the games on. allowed what to drag on? Do you think that Milne would have wanted him to shut down all speculation (and remember, it was just speculation) just incase the hun magically found a couple of million to give us for him? The press release that would have said "I'm not interested in a job that I've not been offered" is pretty nonsensical. As for happy clapping....don't be a fud.

The folk still questioning McInnes need to take a look at themselves. Thank fuck social media etc wasn't around 30 odd years ago. The only difference between this recent pantomime and when legends like Willie Miller and Alex Ferguson both turned down moves to the hun was that all talks, discussions and offers were done in the proper way, by direct contact between clubs, not spun out like a third rate Aussie soap opera through every conceivable outlet. Bottom line is he told them to do one, for that alone he deserves a hell of a fucking lot of respect.

it's incredibly fucking tiresome though isn't it. I've not seen such underhand tactics since I got all my mates to tell Michelle Wright I fancied her in second year. It didn't work for me and I hope it doesn't work for sevco, although at least Michelle had the decency to say she wasn't interested from the outset.

i'd like to think that all of this is just rumor, but I'll still be half expecting the worst come Monday. Strange how the rumor has really cranked up over this period where we play them twice in a row though. Wouldn't surprise me if somebody else suddenly comes into the frame come Monday morning. Those cunts in the media have a lot to answer for.

Tansey? You're clearly on the glue. That cunt needs to go and remind himself of the footballing basics, positioning, tackling, passing. If you can bear to rewatch that first half then look at his positioning, it was generally wandering around looking lost. I haven't seen such a disgraceful individual performance since Harold Ingulffson and I'm sure he only got a shottie because he won it in Icelandic raffle.

don't forget, he was initially due to be unveiled last Wednesday according to the usual glasgow hacks who are "in the know" My feeling is that they're waitig to see if Norn Ireland get papped out of the play offs and then make a move for O'Neill.

Good read, where's that from?
