buster.

The Celtic player who makes the difference is Rogic. He's the type of player we could do with as an attacking midfielder.

Bet there isn't many out there who thought they'd be crying out for Halliday to be first name on the teamsheet come November 2018 He deserves his place.

It's just the HT entertainment. It's all ok though because they guy who came out to take a swing was just fed-up of having to take constant verbal stick for the first 45 minutes. I'm sure the judge will understand his argument.

That's Donald Trump level of blatant in your face bullshit ! A journalist who doesn't tear that apart is a joke. Who has asked him directly why he held his face after the coin hit his chest ? Look for Tom English quotes on players cheating and ask him what he thinks of Lennon antics.

It's fairly simple,......... No goading = No coin thrown The authorities have to charge Lennon, AGAIN.

I said back in 2015 that the new PR should be Patience and Realism. A day after the release of annual accounts that reflect what happens when you metaphorically chuck toys oot the pram and want new ones every year. Regardless if it's partly because the Toys were made in Taiwan. After the institutional failure of 2017, I thought DK/the board made an excellent appointment in SG and his staff, I still do. It should be obvious that he'll need time to build something worthwhile. If fans want to even contemplate a push for change after a few poor results than essentially, they are pushing the club into a much more difficult place.

Going forward, it seems as if we don't qualify for European groups stages or find a player(s) to sell for considerable fee(s) then the year will see a heavy loss. Given the difficulty in European summer qualifers, that doesn't look sustainable to me.

Can you imagine the Sportsound programme following say Morelos taunting opposition fans then being hit by a coin in the chest but going down holding his face and later complaining about a throbbing jaw. He'd get absolutely hammered with a short mention for the coin thrower. What will happen tonight ?.....I'd imagine the scripts will already be ready.

It comes down to players and we haven't any "big players" as per the SG interview (big games/big moments/big players step-up). I think we have several who could become 'big players' (eg. Morelos, Kent, Middleton, etc.) but no-one is quite there yet. I don't know if Jack isn't quite a 100% but I'd tend to keep playing him and push him to become a more forceful player and help dictate tempo. Perhaps it's time to start Middleton / play both Lafferty and Morelos up top (v St.Mirren) Not sure what the story is with Grezda but if we don't see him this weekend, you start to wonder. Next International break, drill the defence in playing three at the back and hopefully with Barisic back, start to use it more often.

As per Frankie, you don't throw the toys out of the pram and we allow SG&Co several transfer windows to sort this out and build something. The other thread on the go (Financials) shows that to continue going down the annual route of 'All Change' (players and manager) isn't a viable option, never mind that it is myopic and reactionary.

From a football perspective, I don't think we are in a position where we can simply bring in several quality players come January in an effort to solve on-field problems. SG has to manage the players he has and if he wants to bring real (relative) quality in, we might have to sell someone who would bring a transfer fee in. Of course, loan deals are still an option and whilst not ideal to fill the team out with too many, we might not have much choice.

Usually Alfredo goes on a run of either goals or yellow cards. At the moment he's doing both........

He's up to 5 league bookings (alongside one other), only one player has more, MacKinnon (Hamilton). At this rate he'll be suspended for a game in late November/early December......but aslong as he keeps scoring goals, I'm not that bothered. edit Up to 5 bookings because red at Aberdeen was downgraded to yellow.

To a degree, it'll be those awful transfer windows (summer '16 & '17) coming home to bite. Given these numbers are up until the end of June, we'll still have some pain to take from those windows.

Managers need a level of professionalism' FT: Hearts 0-0 Hibernian Gary Caldwell Partick Thistle manager on Sportsound "I think he brings a lot of it on himself. Whoever throws something from a stand should be ejected immediately but Neil Lennon was goading the fans as that goal got disallowed. As managers, coaches, players, we have to have a level of professionalism to not incite that and I think at times he does." Article Reactions

I'm afraid it is and there has never been solid grounds to say otherwise wrt our league results. The glimmer of hope in the first couple of months was down to Celtic not being at it either. The reality is that they have a better squad and have now kicked into gear and in over the 20 plus games left, they are going to pull away because we are still not at the level required and have a shallow squad.

I'd say December/ January.

November gives us an opportunity to get closer to the top. A lot of the better teams play each other and we play lower end teams.

Tbh I don't think it was ever realistic this season. I'd always looked to next season for a real challenge and the title either next season or the following.

Looking at the Key figures only, that appears to be a pretty heavy loss on the year (14.3M) !

Over the years we have often had a bad spell at this time of year. Need to come out of it at St.Mirren and start scoring goals and winning matches again.

If we want to win this we'll need to be the first Old Firm team to score more than one goal in Glasgow against Clarke's Kilmarnock. This is his 6th match. Before tonight they'd conceded 3 goals in the 5 away games against us & them.

Early goal again 5/5 In-play table sees us take second place, albeit that will probably change.

A lot of the same guys being given a chance to redeem themselves. Let's hope they do it because SG will get some real stick if tonight doesn't return 3 points. Attitude, tempo and a final product required.

He certainly has been better than anything we currently have but coming up for 34, has he hit 'the wall' ? He's played 6 minutes of League football this season after at least 13 straight seasons of consistently playing. The obvious question is why can't he get a game for a struggling team this season ? Co-incidently, from what I've seen of Broon this season, I think after a couple of good seasons, he's now hit that wall and if Celtic want to move the ball quickly, he'll struggle to get a game. I'd be surprised if they offer him a new contract.
