buster.

The wording you quote from the Dundee United statement is wrong. Statement quoted below. I just watched back the relevant part of Sportscene Highlights package from Saturday evening and the presenter, Steven Thompson read from a prepared sheet of paper and clearly said 'disruption in the away section at Ibrox'. So albeit later and not admitting that Liam McLeod was f**king at it, they did address where the disruption came from. Something the Dundee United statement, didn't actually do.

I am fairly sure that the Saturday evening TV programme, Sportscene, specified the away support as to where the disruption came from at Ibrox.

When your enemy are making a mistake, let them get on with it. If we moan about it, people will just start to moan about us moaning.

Enjoyed the second half yesterday, watching St.Mirren playing with two strikers. Curtis 'f**king' Main was ripping the pish 😃

I'd be playing Alfredo slightly behind Colak but with license to roam. At least in games against diddy teams. If we were to bring in a clearly better option on the right, fair enough. As it stands, it is pick and mix. Another option for other games when using a double pivot would be... Tav .........Morelos.. Lawrence...Kent Tav....................Colak We can always replace GVB !

Would really like to see the team from my OP. The difference from the actual line up being Morelos in for Jack. Colak is a really good finisher between the posts. I wouldn't want to take that away. Get rid of a DCM and play Morelos just behind and to the right of Colak. If Alfredo comes on to a game, it would terrify diddy defences.

Middle name is William 😄

Need some help gentlmen ! My memory isn't what it used to be and I checked up on dates regards that Hibs game and those two Popes dieing. It seems as if the game at Easter Road (August) came a little after the first death but the second was in September. So either the crowd that day were crystal ballers or I have something wrong. There was definately a song sung about it but the ditty about two popes must have come later. Can anyone recall or remember ? Reminds me of being convinced that the DJ headed goal against Wales was from the edge of the penalty box, when in fact footage later showe me that it was more like from 12 yards out.

As a kid, I used to enjoy watching the spectacle of a match against Dundee United because of the colours. Nothing to do with religion or football, they were simply my favourite two colours. Wasn't the reason I watched, but a pleasing by product. Jim McLean took them to the relative stars and when it finished, it was always going to be differing shades of disappointment. Hearts are a team threatening to rise slightly above diddy status. However, this season has seen injuries and a heavier schedule than normal prove challenging to them. The game on October 1st will provide a good indication of where we are. If we are on it, we'll win but if not, they have the tools to hurt us. All about our mentality and focus.

Moyes at West Ham has over performed for a while now. The inevitable downward trajectory has kicked in. It will end with him getting the boot but if he wants, he won't have any bother getting another job. He has well over 1000 games managed.

Yesterdays result is a boost, but it doesn't solve the issues we have. Re. League They tend to repeatedly go on long winning runs (6-8), punctuated by the odd slip-up. We tend to repeatedly go on 3 or 4 match winning runs, before slipping up. For us to have a chance, something has got to change. Between now and the WC, there is an intense schedule with a lot of mentaly draining CL games to come between League business. What yesterday does do though, is that it will show other provincial sides that Celtic can be beaten and it may improve their mental approach to games against them.

If true, brilliant improvisation from Buddies !!

Win at Tynecastle, we go top. At least for a couple of hours but it would be very welcome. Lose by two goals at Tynecastle, we go third.

Just a wee add on to that. Nathen Paterson played another good game for Everton today at EPL level. ie. we are producing real ability, slight problem for our performance levels if keeping to the youth development model is that the really good players move before we get much service from them. Big plus is that our reputation for producing players is slowly improving. In time, this would mean we are able to get higher incoming transfer fees.

The other two teams to hump us in September both lost their 100% league form today, both beaten. Put the house on Milan 😆

If Carlsberg were orgamising days............... Unfortunately, can't see anything that backs up the tweet. More chance of Hamish Larissa being his real name.

When it goes wrong between manager/coach and some influential players it renders much of the Football Operation (FO) useless/ineffective. It goes 'wrong' (partly) because some within FO haven't done a good job. Edit The coaches coach looked as if he were in the wrong movie. (when I saw him on the bench last week).

Generally, I think it a little presumptive to expect the younger generation to be respectful to the society of today. They have been left a shitty and confusing mess to inherit. It shouldn't be surprising if they don't act as they are 'supposed to'.

I said years ago that it may take until we can produce enough first team players from youth development until we can win a title, I was wrong. SG was brought in, was reasonably backed, built a team that when Celtic imploded, were ready to strut their stuff and really dominate during '55'. Now, FFP would seem to complicate matters with regard to what would have to be a degree of front loaded spend. Obviously, the accounts and AGM may make things clearer. Hence, the pathway may be the only way. Or at least a large portion of it.

I remember back in the late 70's IIRC, two Popes died within a few weeks of each other. I was at a Hibs v Rangers game at Easter Road not long after the second death and joined in with the 'two popes in a row, ladidadida....' chorus. Looking back, bit crass and lacking in respect but football stadiums were never really a place for respectful behaviour. Things have moved on a little since then or have they really? Yesterday showed they haven't. Society as a whole has had a veneer applied, a perception sold. But scratch away a little, there hasn't been much change. Change has been to laws and regulations that have went too far.

Agree but possibly not viable ? When you bring together what is needed between now and the the end of the 2023 summer window and what our projected budgets are likely to look like..... Back of my 'fag packet' says that turning this round is going to be challenging, to say the least. Easy for us to say change manager and squad. But within a sustainable business model (FFP), something that means shopping in a relative bargain basement.

Most probably 2+2=473 I've been critical of squad management for a while now. However, I really don't think even we would compound the flaws further, now that they are manifesting themselves so clearly. I'd file this under click bait bullshit.

Brendan Rogers might be looking for a job next week. 😉

That is the usual short term measure. Sometimes a decent manager won't want the job until the summer when he can sort things out. He doesn't want to be pulled under by a squad with too many on the downhill slope of their Ibrox careers. Call Mr. Murty !! 😉

There are two main problems 1. The mgmt./coaching 2. The squad They both need sorted Finance means it won't happen how we'd like it.
