Re: Celtic Fans

Watched the game this morning - absolutely smashed Rangers, played them off the park It is always great when good prevails over evil. Rangers were better in the second half but generally outplayed. Kent's drive against the crossbar would have been goal of the match. I love the old firm matches. You...

Re: EPL 21/22

Just love headlines like this Dusan Vlahovic snubs Arsenal move as Serbian is seeking 'a more ambitious project' :lol: Being Serbian perhaps he is having more of a dig at the EPL/English football rather than the club itself? :idea: Unless he is fishing for a move to Man. City, Liverpool etc?

Re: Celtic Fans

Congratulations to big Ange and Celtic for their most recent success. A huge improvement from the debacle of last season and though still hanging on to the coat tails of Rangers my lot should be pulling out the stops to give him a well deserved contract extension. I think Ange is boxing clever to se...

Re: Rangers v Celtic

They were slipping BEFORE Gerrard left. Yes Gerrard got the 'main job' out of the way by stopping Celtic's quest for 10 in a row but if you are brutally honest his League Cup and Scottish Cup efforts were remarkably uninspiring. When you consider Callum Davidson at St. Johnstone managed to secure a ...

Re: Celtic Fans

Ange's team now starting to take shape and they seam to have the bit between their teeth. We always have the flair to trouble teams going forward but often the achilles heel of the club is to be too open in midfield and too slack at the back. Since the 0-4 loss in Europe to Bayer Leverkusen(result c...

Re: Ipswich's equaliser

Basic error/muck up by keeper. In any semi-pro league the keeper has to look left, right and behind before releasing ball.

Re: Rangers v Celtic

A game of fine margins and not much between the two teams, Celtic outdone by an improved Rangers side in the second half. Celtic passed up a glorious chance during the first half when Edouard inexplicably chose to strike the ball with the wrong foot from ten yards out with the goal gaping. Shot was ...

Re: Celtic Fans

In the end a huge relief for Celtic, especially after scoring early in the second leg to hold a 3-0 aggregate lead. But Celtic being Celtic it is never as straight forward as it should be- a howler by Joe Hart followed by a horrendous own goal by Carl Starfelt. The whole momentum of the game turned ...

Re: Celtic Fans

Ange doing better atm. Celtic stormed their way to a Europa League play-off with AZ Alkmaar with a 3:0 win overnight. Was actually 2-0 to Celtic and 3-0 probably would have killed the return leg. I think the tie is still alive as they appear to be a decent attacking side. However Ange says he will ...

I'm not a United supporter and he can be a lazy shiraz sometimes, but when he's on his game and making an effort, Pogba is one hell of a footballer.

Arsenal off to a good start. Saw the highlights this morning, first goal was a decent strike, second goal came from a long throw-in and nasty bounce which was headed in near the back post. Great start by Brentford and every point will help towards survival. No doubt N5 1BH will inform us how bad Ti...

Yep, the trolls on FN never let you down.

My take for what it is worth as a neutral observer (and trying my best not to put my Scottish slant on it).
