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.

reo is a gem

also rangers lost to ross county today, thats a spicy meat-ah ball

beautiful wednesday

gorgeous, stunning really

This lad making me proud of my hometown. What a hero!

Ball boy throwing the ball away is quality 🤣 Can’t believe they subbed him🙈 pic.twitter.com/LZFWCVPRMN

woot

Last 20 minutes from Celtic was shocking.

only had the radio on and popped to the shops to avoid most of the angst

as many opportunities that rangers had to equalize none of them felt very dangerous, just a creeping dread lingering for about 20 minutes

Lackadaisacal, complacent, just doing enough to get by. It's the Brendan Rodgers effect!

It did have a feeling of the 3-3 game when it went to 2-1, and we were in severe danger of Hibsing it towards the end. Also for the love of God can someone just say no to Matt O'Riley when he goes towards the penalty spot with the ball in his hands?

Also Lundstram nearly snapping Johnson's leg in half, straight red every day of the week, Kenny Miller greeting that getting sent off for a potential career-ender is everything that's wrong with football these days, FFS, where do they find these loonballs*?*

* Ibrox, I know

(

I'm not sure why Rangers play John Lundstram, what is he for?

humiliation kink

Found out Paramount Plus has the Scottish league rights, gotta pick a club before next season. Hibernian? Good name + green.

all the good left wingers choose celtic

tbf James Connolly was a major Hibs fan

point in favor

Malky 'texts' Mackay now sporting director at Hibs so I would steer well clear:

I very much like the cut of Adam Idah's jib. Hope we get to keep him.

hes been a welcome surprise

celtic shirt spotted at my school by a kid from honduras wearing the luis palma 7, le digo "son los campeones de escoterra!" and he was like si? and i was like yeah

*worn by

Another utterly shit second half performance by Celtic. They get worse after Rodgers' half time team talks.

So Rodgers won his double but we're going to get absolutely murdered (as usual) if we play like that in Europe next season.

absolutely, but adam idah has that dog in him

Didn't see the game, having arranged something ages ago for yesterday afternoon but have watched Idah's goal several times. Assume ok to forego the rest of it?

Well, nothing much happened. O'Riley and Hatate looked like they were already on their summer holidays.

Thrilling start to the Scottish Premiership season.

I saw the last 10-15, a real advert for the game

Well played Raith Rovers, obviously had themselves down at the bookies for first managerial casualty of the season.

celtic have yet to concede a goal in 4 games, just absolutely cruised over the huns today

We probably should just admit we need a new general rolling Scottish football thread rather than this three year old effort getting revived once a fortnight.

Anyway, RIP Fabian Caballero which I didn't bother putting on rolling RIP thread because there would be approximately the same reception as when I noted Landry Nguemo on there. I literally had no idea Caballero had gone on loan to Arsenal for three games until I saw his death headlined as "former Arsenal striker.."

painful stuff

Par for the course for Rodgers in Europe. Pretty much all of our heaviest defeats in Europe have come under him. He's the ultimate flat-track bully.

Think he's going for the record in this one.

Was going to go to the pub to watch it. Didn't. Correct decision, well done me.

Celtic have three times conceded 7 goals in Europe - guess who was the manager on all three occasions.

Aye, and a 6-0 scudding for good measure.

Can’t lie, tonight’s result made me feel a wee bit better after Saturday evening’s result.

lol the good news is they dont have to play dortmund again

aberdeen 👀

holy moly. some game

Really was. I aged about a decade in the added time.

celtic are absolutely battering aberdeen

It's like watching Borussia Dortmund vs. Celtic. Oh well, Scottish football is still a pile of shite after all.

but its *our pile of shite*

*your, i just live vicariously through you
*shit, sorry to co-opt

Aye, there's the wheels off the Jimmy Thelin bandwagon.

Yep, same old shite.
