buster.

Just watched Roma comeback and put Barcelona out ! Great and refreshing to see, reminded me a bit of the old European Cup days. Real Madrid haven't had a great season but you have to fancy them for a 3rd CL IAR.

I think that FdB would crash and burn. There isn't the willingness/ability within squad to immediately grasp what is wanted. Nor the money to finance a significant arrival of the type of player required/more suited for it. Nor the patience that would be required amongst the support. Whether Steve Clarke would come is debatable but he'd be my first choice. ----------- The other issue is how much control in an appointment / subsequent football operation that Mark Allen will have and how that might impact the type of manager we are actually looking at.

Surely an open and shut rescinded yellow....or perhaps Lawwell would prefer an upgrade to a straight red

Good effort in getting it up before it left the building !!

What is really needed is for Brechin to get their first league win of the season against them in a week or two. IIRC, one of the Glebe Park teams four point haul, came against those in Tangerine.

It'll most probably end up being McGinn to Celtic for around 2.5 to 3M plus a player. Would prefer he went South as he'd be a significant signing for Celtic, at least within domestic football.

Fair enough Frankie ! I'm not saying the anchor was that bad, more that in the first show, the anchor was especially good (said it in my post on that thread). I appreciate that it's early days and it might be better to be stricter in the '45 minute goal', until things become more fluent.

On the face of it, good pro-active and constructive work.

Just listened to it and tbh, it was hard work getting through it. IMO the anchor from the first week was far better than the second, as was the balance between the two podders and the interaction between anchor and podder. This week there was a more uniform downbeat tone that over a hour or so was (as I mentioned above) I found hard work to listen to.

I'd start a company that offered to clean the dugcr@p off folks shoes, using cub scouts as labour after the Tories privatise them. Not bob-a-job....but clean a job(by)

Dundee United are a ship without a rudder and it's those type of situations at clubs that can mean they go downhill quickly. Kilmarnock weren't on a disimilar path until people with competence and substance got a hold of the club.

According to soccerway stats, he has scored two league goals but such a "streak" would be a strange choice of word given not only the amount, but about 6 weeks and 5 games seperated the the two goals. https://uk.soccerway.com/players/liam-henderson/265494/ I'd contrast that with the DR's regular updates (and slant) on Carlos Pena.

Football wise, we should be further down the road than we are. The board managed to find/provide finance but we've had some awful transfer windows and managerial 'issues'. From May 2016 up until the backend of 2017, it was close to omnishambolic at times and we'll still be paying for it further down the line. A good managerial appointment and functional football operation are desperately required.

Given the position he would probably be playing, I reckon he's probably more chance of getting on the end of something than say Morelos, who'll be working their centre-halves. Although an argument could be made to say Morelos has got himself into decent scoring positions against them more than anyone this season.....but hasn't scored, whilst Miller does have a decent goals tally against them.

The discussion over Kenny Millers future Is becoming an annual event. Let's hope he gives us more food for thought on Sunday. All considered, he's probably our most likely source of a goal.

It seems as though too many pundits feel the need to further controversy. It's a sort of 'cheap tabloid punditry' that pretends to cater to demand and look after their own (self) employmed position. -------------------- One of the reasons it's done is to wind us up and have us react, ie. clickbait. As for BBC Scotland, I think they are too far gone down a particular road to reasonably hope for any kind of balanced coverage. Generally, the influence Celtic have and enjoy via many of those who are employed by the national broadcaster is understated in it's importance and I don't think we have put ourselves in the best of positions to 'fight it'.

Rodgers can't shut-up these days. Perhaps he doesn't want the focus on his teams turgid display at Hamilton.

Good day Three points, four goals, clean sheet and we regain second spot. But you can't help but feel that we are struggling because we don't know who should be playing and what our best shape should be to accomodate them. It's partly down to some players having gone off the boil, others coming back from injury trying to get up to speed and injuries. We have lost trust in Goss and he surely can't start next week. Docherty tried to do too much yesterday and either ran into trouble or made passing errors. Dorrans isn't quite at it yet. Halliday hasn't played much but did well for 30 minutes, albeit we were ahead in the game when he came on. Holt is a reasonable option. Windass is injured. Miller hasn't played much but is there and importantly put a chance away at 0-0. McCrorie is an excellent option but may play at the back. Funnily enough, Holt, Halliday and Miller played in our semi-final triumph over Celtic a couple of years ago. Of the almost certain starters next week, Foderingham and Tav are the two who started that game in 2016. In the 0-0 at Parkhead (New Year) we started with McCrorie, Kranjcar and Holt. In the other 1-1 last springtime it was Holt, Hyndman and Miller. Murty will have a lot of thinking to do in the coming days because it appears a bit up in the air.

I doubt there would be any managerial news, even semi-official. prior to the semi-final. After it, perhaps.

In the admittedly limited time I have seen Kipre play, he's too often a bombscare and not a reliable defender. Bates, has his limitations but certainly no more than Kipre.

Let's hope he has a bit of the 'Ian Ferguson' in him.

I think he had been playing through an injury. To a degree, it reflected how important a player he had become for us but it's probably cost net gametime.

It was always going to be either Thompson or Madden. Thompson will get the OF league game after the split.

No, we've been burnt far too many times these past couple of seasons hoping that players who used to be good would come good again.
