the best wee league in the world SPFL 21/22

If one could overdose on schadenfreude, my St Mirren supporting mate may well be in danger

look at the state of Mooy today!

number 1 is aaron mooy
number 2 is aaron mooy
number 3 is aaron mooy
number 4 is aaron mooy
we’re all dreaming of a team of aaron mooys
a team of aaron mooys, a team of aaron mooys

Mooy is god!

rolls royce player imo

I almost get weepy about the day we signed him after the loan spell - what like he is our player now? Surely this is some kind of fucking trick or something - it can't be real!

I don't think he was fit earlier in the season but he's been awesome since he came back from the World Cup. My favourite player remains Hatate though.

stg VAR has just led to refs outsourcing their brain function. use yr eyes ya mad dicks

Love him.

beautiful sunday

8

What a day. I assume Ange is away though now :-(

PS Jim in Vancouver if you're still around, I was in Vancouver recently and contemplated heading to the CSC since I was very nearby on two occasions at the start and end of my holiday. Those occasions were getting scudded off of The Rangers and getting scudded off of Hibs so I'm glad I didn't, but I probably should have checked to see if that was a thing you did and if you fancied a 4am pint.

game’s gone

Brendan Rodgers has told Reo Hatate he must impress him to earn his spot in the Celtic line up.

Rodgers is such a dick.

Ha, does the man have no eyes?

I love Matt O'Riley an almost unreasonable amount btw.

decent night in europe for scottish football

You beat me to it.

Just checking other results and I notice that Fenerbahce scored in the 21st and 23rd minutes of stoppage time, which must be some kind of record.

... turns that was a mistake, they scored in 78th and 80th minutes!

Aye, mon the coefficient and all that.

chronicball

I'll get in early: Rodgers out

im generally p patient with new coaches/managers as a rule of thumb, esp since CCV is out of the lineup and theyre playing children at cb. but losing to kilmarnock and then drawing st johnstone at home does not inspire a lot of hope for the season, let alone champions league.

(xp) I refer the House to my post of Sunday the 13th.

rodgers relegating hatate to the bench is proof that god hates us

Still, at least we had that creepy guy from the Spanish FA at Hamilton Accies for a bit. That'll put us on the world map again

booooooo

Well there goes the coefficient! Embarrassing stuff and I fully expect Celtic to embarrass themselves too this season.

We appear to watching some terrible revival of the Tennents Sixes on BBC Scotland. Kris Commons has fair been at the pies since retiring.

Also I think every player at this "Masters" tournament is at least a decade younger than me. Pedro Mendes looks like someone's aged him using one of those "what will you look like in 40 years" apps.

👀

watched Celtic for the first time in a while against Livi last weekend, really impressed with O'Riley.
Brendan is probably more of a hindrance than a help at this point but Rangers don't look to be up to much this season.

o'reilly has been class, need more reo next to him in midfield tbh, rly loved that palma goal today. not a huge brendan fan but they shd win the season regardless. be lucky to get any results in the champions league tho.

rangers look dire so far so thats fun.

lol

Bye then Michael Beale. You weren't even comically rubbish, just not very good.

I love Matt O'Riley.

lampard in

celtic in europe, man

I just think of the Champions League as a way of getting into the Europa League.

need to get third for that !

Working out permutations of the ways we can fuck up qualification groups should be on the national curriculum

Absolute shocker of a VAR, obvs.

We need one point right? And Norway have to beat Spain and us? I don't think Spain are very good but Norway are shite even with Haaland.

Euro 2008. We've been here before. Georgia away is heralding unnecessary feelings of deja vu.

Believe me I'm trying hard to convince myself here.

Are you sure you're even Scottish? As soon as it went to VAR I suddenly remembered my place and why optimism isn't a thing that happens. Calling it for a non-existent foul then suddenly finding an offside decision that didn't flag VAR instead is this year's whatever-the-fuck-that-Hutton-against-Italy thing was.

Is this just rolling Scottish football forever?

EPL fans can moan about referees and VAR all they like but they should check out Scottish referees sometime. Anyway, as I do periodically, I annoyed myself by looking at Rangers FC's stats for the season. In their last 8 games in Scotland (League and League Cup) Rangers have been awarded 8 penalties (it's actually 9 in their last 10). They missed two of them but, nonetheless, James Tavernier (that's the right back, James Tavernier) is now averaging a goal every second game for them - a scoring rate few of their strikers have been able to match in the last few seasons. To be scrupulously fair though, Celtic get their fair share of dubious penalty decisions too.

The one you've all been waiting for...

Penalties conceded versus Touches in the Box (against)....

Penalty to Rangers!

In an attempt to stay relevant and bait some cheap interaction…

Rangers do get slightly more pens than avg (relative to touches in box) but not significantly so.

Aberdeen also above the avg line.

Celtic, Hibs, Killie, Dundee have right to feel aggrieved. pic.twitter.com/a1a0PG6I42
