  1. Some folk don't know when to wrap up. Maybe it makes them feel big or smart. Sad f**ks.

    Your comments were nothing like as bad as others. There are times when the adage about if you have nothing nice to say then say nothing at all should apply. Conor Newton gave his best for our team and that goal was so special. Can invective not be reserved for opposition assholes who deserve it?

    What is *really* sad is pricks like you being abusive to fellow buds and acting the hard man.

    Stop getting wide.

  2. OK fair enough. You are correct. Football clubs should be left to their own devices.

    As fans we shouldn't care if clubs overspend and therefore financially dope their way to trophies, cups and bigger financial prizes for finishing higher up the league. It's only fair that the likes of Man City can simply borrow indefinite sums of money. It's only right that Motherwell can rack up nearly £1 million in losses to secure a lucrative 2nd place and the European slot which goes with it. It's only right that Celtic can simply buy anyone in Scotland they feel like. During the 2000's that had no effect on our Scottish game whatsoever and the league title was spread around amongst many clubs in a highly competitive and absorbing series of seasons. No drudgery at all.

    Frankly WGAS. I've seen the light. The governing bodies should just allow the cheats charter to continue. The race to mass financial suicide should continue unchecked.

    After all as Reynard says, once all our clubs go bust we can simply start watching tiddlywinks on Sky instead.

    More drivel.

    To compare a football club with a bank is the statement of a simpleton.

  3. Probably more to do with the fact two played for the team and one did not.

    When did Martin O'Neill play for Celtic? whistling.gif

    Strachan was more successful than O'Neill. More trophies won, further in the Champions League and all with less money spent.

    Why was O'Neill loved and Strachan hated?

  4. Another neddish, wee corner-boy gone from scottish fotball. That can only be a good thing. Saying that, if he does end up at Norwich, I'll be mightily interested to see how he handles real pressure. Cue Hiroshima on the touchline.

    He'll not be able to play the sectarian card down there...

  5. It should be remembered that McGregor's injury problems didn't start when he joined St. Mirren.

    He missed a large chunk of his last season with Cowdenbeath through injury as well.

    He is injury prone and not a youngster anymore. Hoping that the best of him is yet to come may be a forlorn hope. He may well get injured again.

    If he wants to leave then cheerio!

  6. Naw, wee ginger Gordon isn't "Celtic minded" enough. McNamara, perhaps?

    Indeed.

    Despite being more successful than either O'Neill or Lennon, Starchan was hounded out by the Celtic support, yet O'Neill & Lennon were loved.

    I didn't have a problem with O'Neill at Celtic. He didn't stir up sectarian hatred and violence nor intimidate referees and match officials. Let's not forget that Neil Lennon caused a referee strike and that the Celtic board backed him up. The sectarian insinuations that came out of Parkhead at the time were a disgrace.

    Neil Lennon & Celtic were responsible for one of the most shameful episodes in Scottish football history - something that seems to have been forgotten as a result of the Rangers saga.

    Its good that he's gone.

  7. Its good that Lennon is gone.

    He was used by the Celtic board to stir up sectarianism in Scotland as part of their business model.

    They found out that their support won't tolerate white non Catholics when they appointed Barnes & Strachan and they were hounded out.

    Their search for another Irish Catholic might be a bit harder this time...

  8. Sillier than allowing clubs to continue paying wages they clearly can't afford and then sitting back and engaging in handwringing when they inevitably run into debt? How long before we see buckets being held outside grounds for "fundraising"?

    Any club not operating with a substantial rainy day fund is engaging in financial mismanagement.

    I'm really not sure how much more obvious this could be. Are ALL football fans so financially incompetent that they can't understand this very simple concept?

    The comparison between a football club and a bank isn't just silly. Its ridiculous.

    I'm not disagreeing with your first paragraph above but your original post which states that football clubs should have a large shortfall fund like banks is nonsense. And your second paragraph above is lunacy.

    Football clubs don't harbour people's savings. Football clubs aren't needed for the running of the economy. They do not require a shortfall fund. If they go bust then they go bust.

    The only person who appears to be financially incompetent in this thread is you.

  9. The 2 players I'd love to see still with us next season are McGinn & McLean.

    Not that bothered about the rest. They are all replaceable.

    Paul McGowan is a difficult one because he's neither a midfielder nor a striker. He's played a lot just behind the striker but I'd rather we signed an out and out striker to partner Thompson.

    We won't get anyone as good as McGinn or McLean however.

  10. Strikes me as a guy who thinks he's much better than he is. I think he would be a risky signing for anyone

    A confident guy who can score goals.

    I'd take that risk any day of the week!

    We'll never get him anyway. Too good for us.

    Its no wonder that The Rangers are in such a mess when they let a guy like this go and spunk £000s on the likes of Jon Daly.

  11. I watched hemmings against the pars on alba. Not overly impressive.

    John Sutton isn't overly impressive other than scoring goals either!

    Takes me back to the Spain v Scotland World Cup qualifier in 1985.

    Steve Archibald was the leading goalscorer in La Liga with Barcelona at the time and was at the press conference before the game.

    One of the Spanish journalists asked him the question "what exactly is it that you do on the pitch.... apart from scoring all those goals?".....
