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).

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.

Huns go absolutely mental as Dundee United sing 🎤🎶Lizzy's in a box 🎶🎤 as the minute silence was meant to be happening 🤣🤣🤣 pic.twitter.com/AHINFDpoTC

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.

He's not Celtic's captain though, that's Calum McGregor. I like him a lot and felt USA could have used him more.

Yes, he played well in the one game he started.

darvel 1 - 0 aberdeen

Darvel 1 Aberdeen 0

Jim Goodwin's wiki page currently has him as James Michael Cantbuyawin.

LOL XP!!!!

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.
