Any squad needs a few older heads, that's just common sense. The player trading model doesn't have to apply in every single case.

Is that still a thing? I was sure I read that was no longer a requirement.

It might be. We won't know unless he ends up elsewhere.

Shhhh, you might put him off.

Aye but Rangers would've got a payment for Kamara being promoted. Rangers always come first.

Went for Diomande, as he was easily our best players in the first half. I thought Balogun, Sterling and Raskin were pretty good too, overall.

Apparently Carter-Vickers is exempt from the new 'follow through' thought process on tackling.

I'd rather we died with our history than lived with the history of Paedo FC over at the Piggery. Of course, many of their demented fans spend their lives online claiming we did die but UEFA have stated, quite categorically, that we're the same club. Who would you believe: the game's governing body or unemployed Declan from Coatbridge?

Clement has had a couple of moans about officials. The club barely say anything. Moaning about it on forums is futile. I think it probably gives them something to laugh at, more than anything else. I know I love a good laugh at their Masons in black pish.

I never judge incidents on stills because that's stupid. In my footballing universe, none of them would've been fouls and anyone in favour of VAR would be shot on sight but alas, nobody cares what I think. Should also mention that Celtc FC would be outlawed.

It's not a new thing that goalies are given far more protection from officials than outfield players. Touch a goalie and it's pretty much automatically a foul. There are always instances of grabbing and shoving, involving attackers and defenders, at corner kicks, most of which aren't penalised.

Another thing the yahoos are better at than us - the dark arts (on and off the pitch).

Another transfer window full of Shankland chat. Oh goody!

Leeds v Southampton on just now. We want Leeds to win, as we get a payment if Kamara goes up.

If you think the refs are biased, just state that. I think the referees are of a poor standard and make questionable decisions on a fairly regular basis. I also think some of them are scared to give big decisions against Celtc due to years of clever PR from Paedo FC and constant threats from their scummy fanbase. I also think some of the hysterical responses to certain decisions that don't go our way do us no favours, as we just fall squarely into the 'two cheeks of the same arse' insult we're regularly subjected to by the rest of Scottish football.

Sounds more like a good guy. 😉

Shoving a keeper will often result in a free kick. Keepers are more protected than outfield players - that's widely known amongst the vast majority of people who watch football.

Using speech marks to refer to Raskin's push on Hart just invalidates the claim. He very clearly had two hands on him and gave him a shove. If we're going to raise concerns about officials, let's do it with evidence and facts and not make stuff up.

There are no sugar daddies. The trick is to utilise our resources better. Bringing Beale in as manager has cost us this season.

Clement was quick enough to send him out on loan, so I suspect he will be happy to sell (as would any sensible person).

Apart from Diomande, I wouldn't miss a single player. The main focus should be clearing out the likes of Tav, Goldson and Lundstram, as well as bringing in some more effective attackers.

Why not? This is a forum where we air our opinions about football, so there's no point skirting around the issue.

Just get to the point. Do you think the SFA officials are biased against Rangers: yes or no?

Fair enough. VAR and the over-focus on referees are just another couple of reasons why football is less enjoyable than it was in the past.

There are always mini fouls at set pieces. Goalies are over-protected and that's the case globally and has been for years. We need to pick our fights carefully, otherwise we just get accused of paranoia.
