The difference being, of course, that we’re only here for shits and giggles. Other than laughing at their club’s stupidity, we have no other interest in them.

Post/pre season at Ibrox has been boringly professional which has limited our scope for discussion on the subject we’re REALLY interested in.

Here are Postecoglou’s comments from the Sunday Times today:

Four out for Celtic’s European opener
Celtic manager Ange Postecoglou revealed last night that James Forrest, Mikey Johnston, Kyogo Furuhashi and Kristoffer Ajer won’t feature at all in the first leg of Tuesday’s Champions League second qualifying round against FC Midtjylland.
Ryan Christie, Nir Biton and Ismaila Soro also only have an outside chance of being available to face the Danes.
“There are a couple who are close and we didn’t want to risk them today so they will all train tomorrow,” he said. “Because James missed so much [self-isolating] - he was out for ten days and we have just got to be a little bit careful with him. Tuesday could be a little bit early for him.”

Norwegian international defender Ajer, who has been the subject of a £13.5m bid from Brentford, wasn’t in the squad and Postecoglou was reluctant to discuss his position. “I’m not thinking about that stuff,” he stressed.

“The guys who are going to leave will leave. That’s not my department: I’m concentrating on what’s in front of me.” Asked whether he was left out due to his impending departure, Postecoglou replied: “Yeah, well he wasn’t involved today. I can’t afford to waste time on anyone other than the ones who are here and committed to being here.”

Is that not along the lines with what TLB said last year then he ended up stuck with them. And the rest is history.

I’ve not in my life time seen a referee more biased in any clubs favour than RC Clancy is in favour of them. They forgot that recent Old Firm game already? Cheating off the scale in Celtic’s favour.

Or, indeed one who hated an individual player as much. He treats Fredo like scum.

Sadly accurate

I see some of them talking about going for Marshall for their goalie. Surely they’re not looking at Barky standing in the halfway line and thinking “I know a goalie who is made for this”

Now the Euros are over - it's time for Dom to get that crumpled old cheque book out and start spending some of that season book cash. The Italian keeper and at least three Danes would make a promising start. I'm assuming Dom is making the decisions here

Since PSG signed him for free, they might be tempted to sell him for £100m.

Saves time for the Steve Clarke Christmas rebuild if they sign marshall now.

 

[Barrymoped]

They would be as well just signing Stephen O’Donnell right now to save time

Signing O'donnell would bring some balance to the team. But only in the sense that he would be a Taylor for the right hand side.

It would mean that we would have 2 full backs who would be woefully unsuitable for the role they need to play under this manager. And it's a key role in his system. Even as a stopgap it means eventually he'll just be a drain on the wage bill as he's not good enough as back up.

I'll say it again-Lee O'Conner played over 30 games at RB for Tranmere last season. Why isn't he worth a shot?

 

[Plissken]

From Eddie Howe working behind the scenes for months to Stephen O'Donnell.

 

[St Andrews Bear]

Will be the story by Christmas when they're out of Europe, both cups and are in third place.

Scottish cup starts for them in January so will still be that after Xmas sadly

Well his name ticks the right box for them for a start.

Looked him up. He is already a Celtc player, who was loaned to Tranmere.

That's like us saying last year, "hey that Stephen Kelly at Ross County is worth a shot!"

 

[Everyone knows his name.]

It’s Clarke by Christmas

 

[Ped78]

Yes I watched the UB display at the time. I just never opened the photo on the tweet so it just looked like a couple of red poles with a stop sign or something on top.

I’m not convinced.:shh:

He’ll be there next manager.:shh:

Arfields party will be his main gripe again when they lose their first game

I see the papers from yesterday had Ajers transfer at 11.5m.

Still too much for him.

If anybody can get kicked out of a cup before they're in it then it would be them judging by this past year. Haha.

 

[Stuart pid]

God I hope so. Get him away from Stockport.

Temp to be in the mid 20s even by k/o time tonight so they will be literally melting down.

Lucky for them their players aren't unfit and being asked to run around like headless chickens in matches.

Hot temperatures mean short fuses

a bog standard 2-0 defeat tonight could result in a car park demo after the game against torys in the boardroom

Still too much for him.

Including wages. Be a 6 to 7 mill fee. He'll hang on and pocket that for himself, I know I would if I was him.

From Eddie Howe working behind the scenes for months to Stephen O'Donnell.

Remember the press were blaming Howe’s former backroom team for svuppering Howe’s appointment?

Howe had clearly been told he was getting big nose and iPad Gavin.

Dembele is out with a medium to long term injury, same as Johnstone. I reckon he'll throw forrest in tonight with zero fitness and cross his fingers as he's noone else he can play.

They've that many Demebles that I've lost track, but is he not inured as well as Johnson.

So it'll likely be forest or the nonce.

[CrocodileDundee]

After tonight they are basically a carbon copy of last year. Can be dangerous going forward against lesser teams but anyone with a half decent forward line will rip their defence apart. Good to see barkas is still as bad as last year

[Rusty Shackleford]

Barkas - 7 (done well with what Ange wants him to do)
Ralston - 5 (not bad, not great)
Welsh - 8 (fecking rock, wee (big) man done us well)
Bitton - 1 (WTF, YFBB)
Taylor - 6 (again. not great, not bad)
McGregor - 8 (I've missed ye)
Soro - 6 (solid without making an impact)
Abada - 7 (threatening, was always making something happen)
Christie - 3 (p**h, f**k o**)
Turnbll- 6 (no bad but......)
Edouard - 3 (p**h, f**k o**)

SUBS
Murray - 7 (Nice wee (big?) man, done really well)
Ajeti - 3 (done nothing when he came on and we need him tae dae something)
Rogic - 4 (he ran around a lot)

Barkas 7/10

 

[dt17]

If that's their back 4 (5 if you include Barkas) going into this season then we'll stroll the league IMO.

Quite amusing, his average score for the starting 11 was 5.5… they don’t know how far this goes

 

[Div1872]

Danes were a shadow of the team we played

Ref sending off Dreyer was a joke

Big Angie trying to get Barky to play a sweeper keeper is unreal

The guy cannot extend his arms to make a simple save

I hope the Danes are better next week as they were shite tonight

 

[Teddyjohn]

They will surely sign a new goalkeeper. I’d be astonished if they persist with Barkas.

It’s quite clever.

If he’s not going to use his hands he might as well push further up the pitch.

Get a fiver on Roofe from the half way line now.
