New home strip is a banger:

Being born in a stable doesn't make you a horse.

Not sure how they can send off Logan and do nothing with Boyata who throws a ball at him twice, goes after him about 3 times, and Lustig (I think) who seems to stick his head in Logan's face. Hopefully we'll send a letter to the SPFL asking for "clarification".

They target him because he had the audacity to be racially abused by one of their players. Get it right fucking up them. Shay

What happened there at the end with Logan? Thomson looked like he was cumming in his pants at being able to send him off. Brown's a fucking mink, McLean should have gone out on a high and taken the troglodyte out. Shinnie should have stuck one on him at the end too.

Lewis Logan O’Connor Reynolds Considine Ball Shinnie Stewart McLean GMS Cosgrove That’s the starting 11, I’m guessing the shape. If we’re going to lump long balls up to Cosgrove all afternoon, it’ll be a walk in the park for the Celtic defence. They’ll be out to get to him after his tackle on Quasimodo last time.

Finishing 2nd by beating Celtic would be a nice way to wrap up the season. Finishing 2nd by relying on Hibs to beat Rangers at home, something we couldn’t do, would still keep us in a state of optimism deprivation. Finishing 3rd will cost us £500k and will impact on our budget for next season. Hopefully we avoid that.

Celtic could well play a reserve team and never get out of first gear. McInnes would still have us camped on the edge of our own box just to be on the safe side.

Cosgrove up front on his own, May and Rooney on the bench. Cosgrove has done ok in the last 2 games but I think we would be better with some experience leading the line in this type of game.

I hope McInnes is going to spend time watching how other teams beat Rangers this season by putting them on the back foot and keeping them under pressure. If we give them time and space to play football, they’re well capable of giving us a doing. Again. Home match, 3 points are required, there’s no excuses for letting them play their game and hoping to get some scraps on the counter attack.

Only caught the last 20 minutes, but in that time we squandered far too many set pieces, fannying about instead of getting the ball into the box seems a common theme.

Mike Newell was dreadful. Pasquinelli, Zdrillic, Fallon, Blaha and that French guy with the pony tail we had on loan contributed more than he did and they were mince too. Are we including Ireland as a foreign country?

What was it? 1 goal in 17 for Hearts? This seems like the Goodwillie signing all over again, and another complete waste of a shirt. Not sure where McInnes seems to have earned this reputation for turning around players who have gone off the rails a bit. It seems like McInnes has tried to bring in a Rooney replacement on the cheap several times now and has continually failed because despite what Rooney lacks, you can't just pick up someone who's capable of consistently scoring 20+ goals a season from the scrap heap.

Ah that’s shit news

Also this:

From what I’ve seen of Stewart, I think he’d be far more useful through the middle in Christie’s position than he is out wide where he lacks enough pace to be effective in our system and his one trick of cutting inside onto his left foot is incredibly predictable for any above-average opposition left back. Wouldn’t pay any money for him though. No idea if those Balkan lads that guy’s suggesting are actually any good or if it’s just someone trawling the Football Manager database but it would be good if we used some of that imagination when looking for signing targets. The “used to be good in Scotland but failed down south” market is a bit thin. Wouldn’t be surprised to see us go for Lewis Macleod at Brentford, probably on loan. The boy Walker that Wigan signed from Hearts can’t get a game in League 1. Another option for a loan now that they’ve been promoted. Stevie Mallan from Barnsley too maybe.

Why are people reading/giving attention to Celtic fan conspiracy blogs?

Hearts are signing 35-year old Steven MacLean from St Johnstone. Strange one that.

Beat the English at basketball too, winning our group in the process with a 100% record.

Juvenile cunts probably put ketchup on their steaks too.

Chalmers is up for sale as well. Used to live next door to the baker on Chapel Street, that was pretty good. Something something Ross I think it was called.

I see Aitkens are closing down and selling off their shops. Probably in protest at all these Dairylea Deviants.

I currently pay £110/year for Red TV International (£8.99/month - can’t remember if they still charge during pre-season). If they want me to pay £300/year, they’ll have to do better than a free shirt and one free ticket.

I hope there’s some kind of register for folk who put Dairylea on a rowie.

Hanley’s out injured so McKenna should get another start unless he gets dropped to make way for Hendry.
