joe hart will be on dis ting

《Myst1kOblivi0n》 (jim in vancouver), Tuesday, 3 August 2021 20:35 (five years ago)

continued on from can't think of a good title: SPFL 2020/2021

《Myst1kOblivi0n》 (jim in vancouver), Tuesday, 3 August 2021 20:35 (five years ago)

When I look at Celtic - which I try to avoid tbh - I just see Le Guen-era Rangers.

shhh

《Myst1kOblivi0n》 (jim in vancouver), Wednesday, 4 August 2021 17:28 (five years ago)

don't think we have any chance in the league this season. dont mind ange as far as i can tell - like him bamming up the press - but i feel he's on a hiding to nothing as there was too much of a rebuild needed.

feels funny to be happy that joe hart has signed for us. always thought he was a hugely overrated big haddy and a bit of a dick - love him now of course - but he's such a huge improvement over what we had.

james mccarthy signing almost pissed me off, should've signed him over a decade ago, when he was playing for hamilton, cunts a tim from castlemilk ffs.

《Myst1kOblivi0n》 (jim in vancouver), Wednesday, 4 August 2021 17:32 (five years ago)

i seem to remember we didn't take on mccarthy as a youth because he was too wee. which also boils the blood. neanderthal scottish football men

Pretty good results for Scottish teams so far - Hibs could do with a goal though.

I’m delighted. A tiny tinge of disappointment we conceded. Looking forward to next week.

not often Celtic and rangers drop points on the same day. although Celtic not winning away is getting to be quite a predictable occurrence.

the dom debacle round parkhead way points to more banter years to come.

Always wary of false dawns of new messiahs, but Hatate looks the absolute business.

that felt magic yesterday. didn't even manage to watch it (was working) but just checking the score and then watching the highlights were a joy.

still buzzing really. even found myself enjoying an oasis song earlier

lots more games to go though

Qamon (||||||||), Saturday, 5 February 2022 00:13 (four years ago)

aye, can either be "that was the night we won the league" or "mind that good game we beat the huns in that shite season"

《Myst1kOblivi0n》 (jim in vancouver), Saturday, 5 February 2022 00:29 (four years ago)

So, as per fucking usual, Celtic are going to have to beat Rangers on their own as none of these other numpties are up to the task.

Bastards of Fish (Tom D.), Sunday, 6 February 2022 23:07 (four years ago)

hearts looked pretty good in both second halves against celtic (at parkhead and tynecastle) - can rarely rely on them to do a job against the rangers II though

celtic just need to take it one game at a time - still think they'll drop more points. thankfully getting a bit more depth back for the bench - some finds this year in CCV, jota, o'riley, hatate, kyogo, jura and the new firmware updates we signed for rogic and bitton

Giakoumskis is good only because his is one of the names it's just fun to hear in a Scottish accent on Sportscene.

See also Baningime (pronounced to rhyme with thingummy) and JakAlnwick (all one word).

Awesome. I'm not that surprised though, Dundee has always been fairly free of Orange bastards, unusually for Scotland. They're more into Tangerine than Orange... apart from the marmalade, of course.

Can someone please put me out of my misery and tell me what tune "Lizzy's In A Box" is sung to, because it isn't "Living In A Box" but it's something really famous which I must have heard thousands of times and it's driving me crazy.

In former SPl players you didn't expect to see in the quarterfinals of the world cup news, good to see Kristoffer Ajer right there in the middle of it.

And in former SPL players you're astonished to see at the world cup, good to see that Jackson Irvine still exists and has absolutely leaned into looking exactly like an Aussie who used to live in Edinburgh. If he wasn't a footballer, he absolutely looks like a guy flyering at the Fringe.

Two minutes into this CL game and I'm already regretting bothering go to the pub. Though there's more alcohol here than in my house, so perhaps it will help.

This is murder. Neil Lennon at half time was wanging on about how it wouldn't matter if it got to 4-3 and I was all "how the fuck were you ever our manager with that sort of level of expectation". This is murder.

They had 40 shots in last night's game, 60 across both legs! It's all very well Carter-Vickers trundling about Rugby Park or wherever but he looked like an OAP last night and Trusty wasn't much better and yet the central defence is about the only area we aren't looking to recruit in. Tierney was hopeless too. At one point our defence consisted of four centre backs and we appeared to have no-one playing at right back. Just a total shambles and that's down to O'Neill and Maloney.
