Tyrant

The bit about Celtic not fighting back is definitely a quality that they've lost since MoN left. Even if we went 2-0 up against that team I would fully expect them to fight back for at least a point. Although I think their team was a lot better in that era. But I think you're being harsh on McGinn. He was full of effort and hassled Celtic when they had the ball and always looked to hurt them when he had the ball. He also assisted twice last season when we beat them 2-1.

I thought he was absolutely excellent last night. Got right stuck in and Celtic didn't like it. He played like a veteran. I don't know much about the boy but I'd keep him in the team ahead of a fit Ryan Jack at the moment.

Please please please let that happen!

Maybe if they fail to come up but I can't see them failing this season.

Really hope Leicester do it! Still think it'll be Man City.

I'd be surprised if it took as long as that for that "invitation" to be forthcoming.

What a bunch of fucking thickos on that site! It's understandable that they'd be upset at us trying to sign another one of their "best" players and they harped on a lot about how we were "shafting" them by not leaving them time to sign a replacement but the transfer window is the transfer window. They (and we'd) be naive to think that Tansey was our first choice. He clearly wasn't. But as long as we're operating within the transfer window we're doing nothing wrong. The fact that we're signing a lot of their players is tough shit. Bigger clubs buy players from smaller clubs. That's happened for decades and decades. The comparison between us and the Old Firm of the 90s was nonsense too. We buy Caley players to strengthen our 1st team not to pad out our bench. The rumour I heard was that we'd not offered the cash up front but rather in a structured deal and Caley wanted the money up front but according the McInnes now that wasn't the issue. I'm confident that we've done nothing wrong. The Caley fans greeting can be quite simply put down to sour grapes. We have to deal with the same thing. Sunderland came in and took our best player for peanuts. No one was angry. We didn't begrudge Russell the move.

Clubs should be ensuring they get the cash up front from this mob.

£200k apparently.

Better than the alternative which was nothing.

Definitely what we need. Maybe something will still come of it.

I thoroughly enjoyed Straight Outta Compton. Well acted and not too much Rap music featured for those who aren't fans although there is some. Look past that though. It's a good movie.

Not good enough. Didn't particularly look like he wanted to be there. He's made no secret of that fact though in fairness. At no point did it look like that he thought he could win. Took 5 games of the 1st set to finally start playing. Was broken whilst 40-0 up and when he had break points he let Novak off the hook. Too many unforced errors. Not a good performance. I appreciate it's mentally very very difficult to play Djokovic but if these are the best showings we get under Mouresmo then I think a change of coach is in order even if Dandy_Don does funcy her. Murray has the game to beat Djokovic and despite showing glimpses of steel balls it wasn't consistent enough. Still lacks mental toughness. Still my hero though.

Who's the ref?

I've low expectations if I'm honest. An extra 24 hours rest for Djokovic is massive.

Don Cowie released by Wigan.

All Andy. Raonic "injured" but I think he's just knackered.

Aye. And I haven't had time to do any work at work!

Aye that winds me up too. Makes it seem like the players are bound to miss.

About to lose the 3rd.

Lost his serve straight away against Raonic. Gone with serve since. 3-2 Raonic.

Agreed. It's fucking silly that we can watch top class coverage of a foreign league before we get any coverage at all of our own league. BBC is regionalised. Put fucking Scottish highlights on on a Saturday night. By all means put MOTD on after but give us our own too eh. I'm sure I'm nae the only one that used to thoroughly look forward to Sportscene (and also Scotsport) back in the 90s.

We can if it's 0%.

Just me getting a bit worried here? Signed a youth goalie and a backup goalie (for an arguably nae-good-enough-in-the-first-place goalie). No other signings despite a clear need and other outfield players leaving. Quickly running out of time! :-(

But neither do we.
