the best wee league in the world SPFL 21/22

joe hart will be on dis ting

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

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

shhh

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.

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

hahahaha

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

... but not for the other team.

Some result for the saints

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

fuck! that was rough. celtic all at sea really until edouard came on. massive result against a quality outfit

mad transfer window for celtic. big rebuild.

got rid of a couple of my bete noirs in hendry and christie.

french eddy the eagle (sorry)

kinda feel there's no way giakoumakis is any good

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.

there's absolutely no chance that giakoumakis isn't 100% dung

Progressed from embarrassing themselves in the Champions League to embarrassing themselves in the Europa League.

Worst thing is that this isn't remotely surprising

kyogo 🙏

back to CP tonight - looking forward to maybe seeing giakoumakis, hatate, and maeda in the starting line up

hatate is a pler

should have brought ramsey on

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

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"

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.

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

there's absolutely no chance that giakoumakis isn't 100% dung

he's been playing well recently (dundee utd game notwithstanding)

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).

some amazing accidental partridge this week in the cinch

Well, that was a season that happened. We were economical with goals this season, just as well we saved them all for tonight just to be on the safe side.

Nothing short of another 9-0 will satisfy me.

we want 9

I'll settle for Morelos being sent off in disgrace... again.

Watching this Rangers team I have no idea how they've managed all these good results in Europe, they are total dogshit.

it is a mystery

That touch and finish from Jota were excellent.

nice!

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.

xp thank you! I was singing the na-na-na-na-na-na bit, but the new lyrics had completely wiped the original from my brain

Van Bronckhorst out.

Tom D.: Plz share your thoughts on Cameron Carter-Vickers. Imo he did not get enough playing time for the USA in Qatar and I just learned he's Celtic's captain, which surprised me.

He seems a pretty solid player to me.

cynical me thinks M’ON is just there to insulate maloney from the abuse he would’ve gotten if he was appointed solo

Honestly, good riddance to Rodgers, I don't care how much he won as Celtic manager I've never liked him and never trusted him. We've been in decline since we were out of the Champions League at the start of the year, Maeda's goals last season made us look better than we were. He drove Kyogo out of the club, Kuhn's form mysteriously nosedived, he messed Hatate about and then Maeda this season, his signings have been mostly mediocre and sometimes inexplicable - how many wingers do you need when you've got so few strikers? Don't want Ange back byw.

Ach, we were good to watch under Ange. If we're regressing, which we seem to be, we might as well regress to a time we had a likeable manager with a watchable team who actually wanted to play for him.

I have zero faith in our ability to get this right this time, so if we're going down the well-worn panic-button route of second chances, we might as well.

My phone tried to autocorrect that to panic Bitton. Which would be a *lot* worse.

ange COULD go for back-to-back europa league titles (dont laugh!)

I don't think there should be some headless chicken search for a new manager right away. Despite the dross Rodgers brought to the club, we've still got the best squad in Scotland, if M'ON and Maloney could at least get Hatate and Maeda motivated again that would help. I don't really care what happens in Europe unless it's downright embarrassing. If Nuno gets sacked at Wolves we'll have him!

Nuno is getting sacked by West Ham tbf

He'll always be the Wolves manager in my head.

want: marco rose / kjetil knutsen

will get: shaun maloney / robbie keane

M’ON first interview on talksport (not celtic TV) + sounds like he’d rather be doing anything else than being parachuted into this omnishambles

(xp) Keane doing a good job at Ferencvaros and, of course, previously at, er, Maccabi Tel Aviv.

nygrenyahu is an enigma

hearts hate paisley

hibs love hibsing

djiga is pish

This is kinda horrible and also kinda lol (also a good way to find out the loyalties in my new local - Tim-friendly, it turns out)

Can't get a fucking stream to work and I don't think I can't stand listening to this Radio Scotland commentator mispronouncing Ralston for much longer, so I'm going to have to find a pub that's showing the game at half time.

https://images2.imgbox.com/42/dc/uWbt8Dyh_o.jpg

lol why was that a pen?

I take it back. The pub huns have found their voice. That's so not a penalty and the lads at the next table are wanting him sent off!

Penalise him for not defying gravity is genuinely their argument.

lmao shoving is legal now

Hooray, another half an hour of this pish.

if we came out after time and played like we did in the last 10 mins there, we’d be out of sight

half-time*

I also don't trust Kaspar Schmeichel as much as I trusted Joe Hart, so this had better not go to penalties.

a man up, you'd think they'd continue to put them kind of pressure they did the last 10 minutes to avoid such an outcome

If they can't score after another half an hour at 10 men of this particular Rangers team then they don't deserve to win.

... plus they've just taken their best player off.

schmeichel’s race is run

calmac!!

mcgregor’s been immense today

What a goal that was.

Wee kid in front of me has just taken his jacket off to show his CalMac 42 shirt and is running round the pub like a maddie. Love to see it.

jesus

Haha, what a save by Schmeichel there. I am a clown.

Do we not want to win this? Jesus wept this is hard to watch.

hitting ball straight at keeper continually

So bad. Can we get Wee Shaun registered as a player?

Thank fuck for that.

Chickens remaining uncounted nonetheless

balikwisha looks dung anytime I’ve seen him

delighted for young osmand

looked really lively when he came on

Never in doubt, lol. St Mirren must be fancying their chances. May have to choose my Paisley pub a bit more carefully .

sack the board

FC midtjylland showing us what a well-run, modern football club should look like in 2025

Abysmal. Ralston is hopeless. Why is Forrest playing, it's not 2015? Get Engels to fuck, I'm sure we can find someone else who can take corners.

Took me ten minutes to get a working stream. It crapped out at halftime and I couldn't be arsed trying to find another one. Everyone out. All of them.

Trusty is whatever the opposite of nominative determinism is.

Midtylland have totally taken the foot off the gas, taken lots of players off - job done, more difficult games coming up - and they still look like the could score any minute.

Osmand's hamstring gone.
