  1. Shame we have more "wee" games than "big" games then.
  2. That's him getting a new contract then. When he finally signs it, JC will say "He played at Celtic Park and was as good as anyone. That shows his quality." You heard it here first... or possibly when he's signed other dross in the past.
  3. Now you say that, it makes perfect sense...
  4. So you're in shock, but not at this news. So what are you in shock about then?
  5. EFF EFF ESS. Queue the move for Jody Morris as well...
  6. 1. Things weren't going all right. 2. If he wasn't himself, why continue to pick him?
  7. Who did you send it to? Just the feedback address?
  8. Ooof. Absolutely correct, someone post a copy of it to JC.
  9. We were only ever his second choice anyway, he supposedly went to Hibs and offered his services for 1.5k a week. Petrie turned it down on the grounds that he can't stand Jackie McNamara Snr.
  10. It's going like this: Pass-pass-pass-hoof. Celtic knock it about until we intercept it, and then it's back to the pass-pass-pass-hoof. Rivetting stuff. ps cheers Slim.
  11. Anyone had any joy with Footy Doctor for this?
  12. bench of: Soutar, Maguire, D Smith, Bus, Aluko, Walker
  13. Langfield, Maybury, Foster, Diamond, Considine, Severin, Nicholson, Duff, Young, Miller, Jeff.
  14. Langfield is back in goal, Nicholson and Miller will start. Jamie Smith (surprise surprise) is still out, as are Byrne, Mair and Touzani. There are doubts over Mackie and Young (as in injury doubts, not just the usual doubts we all have about them).
  15. Always brings tears of joy to my eyes... http://blogs.guardian.co.uk/sport/2008/04/18/joy_of_six_the_greatest_league.html 2) Scottish Premier Division, 1985-86 (Celtic 50pts, GD+29, Hearts 50, +26) NB: two points for a win The Increasingly Small Book of Journalistic Integrity and Avoiding Clichés informs us that under no circumstances should we use any variation on the phrase 'broken Hearts' while telling this story, but you can understand the temptation. Hearts, 200-1 to win the league before the start of the season, lost five of their first eight games - and then did not lose again for seven months. They had not won the league since 1960, and had not even been top since 1973, but they led from January despite the warm breath of Celtic, who would win their last eight, all over their necks. Going into the final day, Hearts needed just a draw at Dundee, and even defeat would be ok provided there wasn't a Celtic victory and an overall five-goal swing. But with Celtic 4-0 up away at St Mirren by half-time, Hearts knew they were not going to get any freebies. The second half turned out to be 45 minutes too many; they were shot, but got closer and closer to the championship, like a doomed kid in a slasher movie who so nearly manages to slither out of the window. Hearts were seven minutes away, and then a Bob Carolgees lookalike stuck an axe in their back. Albert Kidd, a substitute who had not scored all season, turned in a right-wing corner, and then scored a quite magnificent second with three minutes to go. Kidd would become so famous that when he met Celtic fan Billy Connolly in a lift a few years later, it was Connolly who was star-struck. Hearts were simply dumbstruck, and there was a sad inevitability about proceedings when they were stuffed by Aberdeen in the Scottish Cup final a week later. Balls to good writing: this was as heartbreaking as sport gets.
  16. Romanov must get hauled over the coals for that comment about the league being corrupt and how refs are being bribed. They really are an absolute shambles of a club... but still, got to laugh!
  17. Give it time...
  18. Gattuso is a midfielder mate. Always has been, even though Advocaat played him at right back occassionally.
  19. That had crossed my mind as well, but then, why go to the press with it some months ago?
  20. So what happened to the £1.4m that we had to spend? All being taken up by wages?
  21. Totally agree with that there, BTR. Think Considine has great potential, he's a good footballer and he'll be an Aberdeen captain in the future.
  22. As I've said here before, Miller set up contacts in Eastern Europe in the hope we'd get quality players rather cheaply. Calderwood doesn't want to know. The fact is, he's a lazy manager when it comes to signing players, if it's not in front of his nose (or his son's), he's not interested.
  23. I hope beyond all hope, that this is just a slow news day and the EE are just speculating and there is no base to this at all. However, it would not surprise me one jot if Calderwood went for these clowns... all I can say is that if Miller and Milne are in anyway worried about season ticket sales for next season, they'd do well to advise JC NOT to sign those three.
