"The monkeys start to squeal, lie and create conspiracy plots" - Scottish Football 2012/13

re the match, I was genuinely a bit worried for the first five minutes or so as Hibs raced straight out of the blocks, but the goal knocked their heads down a bit and they never really rallied after that.

If *Hibs* didn't show up, fuck knows what people made of James Forrest. I assume he never got subbed off until the 88th minute because Neil Lennon forgot he was even on the park.

Anyway: roll of honour for 2012/13

SPL Champions: Celtic
SFL1 Champions: Partick Thistle
SFL2 Champions: Queen of the South
SFL3 Champions: Sevco

Scottish Cup: Celtic
League Cup: St Mirren
Ramsdens Cup: Queen of the South

Bring on the close season madness!

The Johnny Russell to Celtic story is gathering momentum. I'd be very happy with that. Not so happy to see the Fraser Forster to anyone else stories (usually coupled with "he has to play in England to put himself in the reckoning for the England squad" - despite him already being selected while playing in Scotland).

I see Sevco's transfer embargo's going well - four signings in a week.

Yeah, it's kind of ridiculous, isn't it? One of them was on the news (Law or Clark, can't mind which one) last night giving it all the "you have to just look at their history to want to play here", aye, their one year of being a bit pish in Division 3 screams "come and play for us", doesn't it? It seems a particularly stupid move for Cammy Bell, like Ian Black before him he was on the fringes of the Scotland squad, still, he'll be on telly more than he would be with Kilmarnock I guess.

I'd be OK with Russell to Celtic an' all, am assuming Hooper's off elsewhere.

Speaking exclusively to Record Sport, Balde said: “I know Celtic have been in contact with my agent because they are going to lose their main striker – but I have more ability than any striker at Celtic.

“If a deal is reached where I end up playing for Celtic, the fans will be asking themselves after a just a few games, ‘Gary who’?

only first impressions and all that but fuck this guy

I should maybe caveat that with "if the Record have reported his comments accurately" because y'know.

Millwall given permission to speak to Lomas. Was only a matter of time before someone came after him. Will be interesting to see if the Millwall fans could cope with his appointment, plenty of them vocal across the internet.

As much as I like the idea of wee Jody returning as manager, I think Hartley would be a good shout. Or maybe Callum Davidson, if we're going for another first-timer.

Wd hire hartley in a heartbeat

Yup. He rates Stevie May too, would be good for us to get better at making use of our own young players.

Where is jody m atm?

Yeah, Hartley's had a decent start to his managerial career, though he might want to stay and have a crack at the first division with Alloa before jumping up to the SPL. Has Jody Morris given any indication that he'd take it, he distanced himself pretty quickly the last time it came up?

Was at Bristol City xpost

Ah!

15yo sktsh would cry at my lack of knowledge at the world around me

Jody was at Bristol City but was let go in January. Saw an interview with him online, one of those "where my career went wrong" type things. Doesn't feel like long since I was reading him in a Saints match program talking about being up here giving him his love of the game back.

I agree about Hartley maybe wanting a crack at the first, but who knows. I'm not sure if his brief time playing at Saints was particularly happy either, wasn't paying much attention at the time.

stevie may is awesome.Wish we couldve got him permanently.

I've been pleased to see his progress but massively frustrated he's not been playing for us. Can't help but feel Lomas did the right thing for May's development, but for the lack of a long term contract.

He got a new one year contract right?

Yeah, but it was squeeky bum time waiting on him to sign it.

we could never have afforded the wages he would get but we were disappointed he didnt get a longer contract so we could loan him again. He kept us up really and got us into 4th

TBH i don't think he'd have re-signed with us to go out on loan again. I'm not sure he'd expected it to happen last season.

So Utd have lost two of their best players (Daly and Russell). Flood is away too and I wouldn't be surprised to see Mackay-Steven go

How did i miss the achill flag

You were the first person that I thought of when I saw it during the match before the lunatics took it over.

signs you spend too much time on ILX pt 3490243098

So, East Fife, huh? This Nuno Gomes thing's a massive whoosh, right?

It's nice for the zombies to have some competition.

Well I never

Didn't even check the score last night, opened the paper this morning and was all like holy fuck

Think this means we're guaranteed to be in at leat the fourth pot for euros qualifying

Aye, was actually a quietly effective and impressive performance. Made a lot of bookies very rich an' all, all the chatter was how betting on Croatia was just printing free money.

Yeah most competent I've seen scotland in a while. Mate I watched it with had a tenner on us at 11-1, was v happy.

Farewell then, Kenny Shiels, away by "mutual" "consent". The SFA's Monday mornings just got a wee bit duller.

Makes you proud to be Scottish, eh?

what were the proposals though? Typically no mention of it. Some 'journalism'

Also with all the union jack flag waving most clubs do I'd call them 'British' rather than 'Scottish'..

Why can't they be both?

they can get to fuck either way since they voted against

They're not exactly voting for racism.

You're getting them tae fuck for rejecting a proposal you haven't seen!

Ruining the hoops to match the Magners logo wtf! Savages.

Fuck me, that's horrible. Hopefully from the same jokers who had the target on the away strip last year *crosses fingers*

I kind of like that...though I can understand why others who actually support the team may not.

so new league setup in time for the new season then?

Most drawn out death rattle in history, this

Bit fucking rich of them to blame it on fans' "inaction" though, given how much money the fans managed to find earlier in the season.

"We played Clyde in the FA Cup, and I was promised again that I would start. The manager played a Chinese boy instead as he was told the game would be live on Chinese television so the club would get more money."

Du Wei not like that.

Du Wei, incidentally, now has more than 60 caps, has captained his country to the East Asian Football Championship and was named player of the tournament.

Various Celtic fans on twitter getting in a tizzy about Celtic putting a quote from Sir Robert Kelly on the new jersey. Because the of the "Sir".
