Kieran Tierney goal last night was something else

Goodnight sweet laptoap. I will miss your weird present tense phrasing. This time, we do not go again.

and Tierney goal was a fucking peach yeah

God I felt bad about the cathro era. Really didn't want brainless fitba men to be vindicated, a successful cathro could've precipitated some new thinking in Scottish fitba.

Stevie May's back in the spfl with Aberdeen, he's done fuck all/been injured since he left but could see him bring a good signing for the dandy dons.

yeah absolutely. It happened not to go particularly well for him, but that doesn't mean kris boyd isn't an absolute fucking cretin.

May's squad number was a cute touch

Jimmy Calderwood diagnosed with early onset Alzheimers :(

that's a shiter. good luck to the mahogany man

absolute scenes at celtic park \0/

That was decent. Got to feel for the lad at my work who's shelled out over 600 notes to fly to Astana for a meaningless game next week :)

Like watching an Old Firm game.

Stevie May brace on his debut. He's back.

Celtic 5 points ahead of Rangers after 3 games will never not be enjoyable for me

Can we have some centre hoffs please?

I should learn to shut up.

celtic away in europe = always a nightmare.

although 8-3 on aggregate is actual never in doubt territory.

champions league draw on thursday at 5pm iirc

It didn't look never in doubt at 4-1 to Astana :(

I didn't spot this thread had been started! Again, no season ticket for me so not much to say other than it's nice to be three for three, great to see Michael O'Halloran back wjere he belongs and I'll probably be quite sad when Stevie May knocks in a hattrick against us. His Aberdeen shirt would be a nice touch if he hadn't already had May 17 ;)

Delurking to complain about Pedro being too late with the thread title.

"the dogs bark and the caravan keeps going"

Hello! And yes, positively Cantona-esque from Pedro. Not quite in the same league as Mad Vlad, but everyone's got to start somewhere.

Another easy Champions League group for Celtic, I see. And more opportunities to hate on Neymar and Dani Alves. And Arjen Robben.

this is an actual proverb weirdly enough. it rung a bell so i gave it a wee google. it's arabic, referenced in the title of a truman capote book (he apparently got it from andre gide), and jose mourinho has previously used it in a press conference a couple years ago, so maybe it's more popular in portugal

but yes it would've been a great title

Did Pedro really complain after the Hearts game that Rangers were suffering due to the respect they were now getting from other sides?

tbf to him iirc elements amongst my club are historically quite well known for offering that shower 'respect'

WTF is this all about?

hopefully drunken daftness and not some attempt at harming himself

he's ready

6 celtic players in the starting lineup. all my fingers and toes crossed for no injuries

Bizarre to be so comfortable. Assuming Monday's games go the way you'd expect, the game against Slovakia will be unbearable - all or nothing.

absolute scenes.

see what happens when you play the sellick players, wee chesney?

Lothian Thistle Hutchison Vale Vs Inverurie Loco Works.

gotta love the names of some of them Scottish non-league clubs.

Civil Service Strollers is one of my favourites.

we're fucked

750-900k supposedly.

that's a classy decision from the SFA

ah, Accies, never mind me

pm me on fb and I'll tell you the rumours not posting them publicly

Saw the Accies story but there’s not much detail. That’s a pretty brutal figure.

oh im sure there's a lot more to it, damn sure.

http://www.daviessolicitors.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/images.jpeg

oh mr wu , what shall i do im feeling kind of limehouse money lau....

though some say https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ttgcu01Ffwo

while i feel sorry for accies i'm kind of eager to find out what hare-brained nonsense got the club defrauded for such a high sum

Jambos too?

aye hearts as well

clubs were warned ages ago about it so was this when the scam actually happened and a warning went out or did the fuckwits still get done despite warnings.

Idiots.

lol us too? I am behind on the news

is there a salacious angle to the rumours? I'd assumed it was like one of those emails from lesg✧✧✧@acc✧✧✧.r✧ telling the finance director to transfer cash pronto or whatever?

Barnes was officially named as manager of Tranmere Rovers on 15 June 2009, with Jason McAteer assisting him.[41] He got off to a disastrous start, with Tranmere only winning three of their first fourteen games. During their time at Tranmere, Barnes and McAteer were allegedly dubbed "Dumb and Dumber" by the Tranmere players.[42] On 9 October 2009, Barnes was sacked by the club six days after a 5–0 defeat at Millwall and a run of just two wins from eleven league games.[43] He has since applied to become the manager of the Rwandan national team with Stephen Garside as his Youth Team Coach.[44]

8 losses at Celtic in one season, best in footbal? Better send some Frank leaflets to Nevin!

I remember reading in WSC about some completely idiotic "this is a good little club to start my career" type comment from Barnes that pissed of lots of Celtic fans from the start.

Aberdeen vs Rangers ends 1-1.

Rangers v Hibs this weekend will be intense

Wayne Rooney to Rangers: Steven Gerrard urged to snap up Everton ace in shock move

the huge-lol-manity!

Rangers vs Hibs now meaningless. Hibs needed at least a point tonight.

Some press reporting that Neil Lennon is considering his position.

he said it in the post-match presser.

celtic should lie doon tae dons at the weekend, cannae let rangers finish 2nd ffs

Sad indictment of the game if they somehow scrape second despite being pure garbage.

On the cards once Aberdeen failed yet again to beat them tbh

Honestly, fuck these useless cunts, they deserve to spend the next 1000 years trailing behind Celtic and Rangers and moaning about the unfairness of it all.

OK, Hibs 3-0 up after 22 minutes, now 4-3 down. Classic Hibees.

Madness. I'm glad I'm not in Leith tonight though.

Lennon sent off. This day couldn't get any better.

OMFG

As Scottish football continues to be the GOAT year on year, it's important to not forget some absolute classic moments from years gone by...

Sad news that Neale Cooper died - he was only 54 :(

From Tom English on twitter

Neale Cooper in Fergie Rises: “He (Franz Beckenbauer) said I was possibly the closest he had seen to a player like himself at that age. That was quite a compliment. But I always say that it goes to show, even Franz Beckenbauer can talk some amount of shite.”

Lolz. RIP, absolutely no age at all.

Remember when losing to Peru was both surprising and notable?

Not reading too much into the result what with the altitude etc.

Nonetheless hoping for a better performance vs Mexico.

Yes, should be fine against Mexico, they're only playing at a height of 7,280 feet.

och that’s less than two Ben Nevises

So, do we have a new thread title? Are we ready?

Good performance by Hibs. Useful 2-0 victory for Rangers, with the aid of a late penalty, though it must be admitted that their opponents are no Progres Niederkorn.

i was actually quite proud of last year's title, might have a little read of the tabloids and see if i can glean anything interesting from brendan or Mr Gerrard

Tony Watt: back in the big-time

He certainly is!

Hibs involved in an eventful game in the Faroe Islands, which Efe Ambrose kickstarted, in his own inimitable style, by scoring an own goal after one minute. Final score, 6-4 to the Hibees

Meanwhile Rangers starting their European campaign in fairly inimitable, if slightly baffling, style too...

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/scotland/44888334

Scottish football favourite Anthony Stokes signs for Tractor Sazi in Iran.

Hibs' last three competitive matches: 5-5, 6-1, 6-4.

New balls please.

Second best team in Scotland, folks. Depressing stuff.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/44890774

it's depressing but part of why it's depressing is the state of english football.

Aye, you want to read all the Neville Vs Holt stuff on conference and non-league forums - lots of accusations of buying promotion being bandied round.

Rooney has doubled his wages going to Salford.

90' We've seen some strange things at Hampden but St Mirren keeper Craig Samson has just been forced to remove what looks like a dead squirrel dropped onto the pitch by a seagull. Entertainment at its best.

— Queen's Park FC (@queensparkfc) July 24, 2018

^ some kind of metaphor for Scottish football, once a child would kick a dead squirrel in the street etc.

Meanwhile, Hibs' European adventure continues, having gone in at half time 2-0 at home to some Greek side, they've fought back to lead 3-2. Aberdeen have almost certainly blown it against Burnley though.

I suppose we should start a new thread.

"A dead squirrel dropped by a seagull" SPFL 2018/2019. Something along those lines. Get onimo to do it, he's funny.

Hibs only leaking 2 goals is progress of a sort. I think I prefer the 5-4s

Thinking of a Cantonaesque 'When the seagulls drop the squirrels..'

I'm not funny. Ask my kids. Not even Dad Joke funny these days.

I like "When the seagulls drop the squirrels"

I still like the William Shatner/Adam Rooney baws argument
