Excellent. So we now bring back the Billy Boys.When the Celtic board interviewed their new Greek/oz manager, they asked him where he was born.
he said, Athens, I’m Athenian”.
the board said “ great, the jobs yours”.
That article is utterly hilarious.Anyone read Martin Watt's BBC article?
"Prior to the pandemic, Manchester City came out to play Marinos and, after the game, Guardiola came up to him privately and said: 'You play the kind of football I dream of playing."
Did he? Aye?

"With all due respect, all Eddie Howe has done is win one Championship title in England. Here we're talking about a coach who won back-to-back A-League titles a decade ago, including a 36-match undefeated stint - the longest in any sport in Australia."

Certainly feel as part of the Visa process, a wee hard drive check wouldn't be ruled out.come on they had a certain standard to maintain..
Even before you get to the obvious lie, Man City didn't 'come out to play Marinos'. They came out for the promotion of the City brand in Japan, and to help with this, had to play a friendly or three against local cloggers, one was happened to be Marinos. The number of straws getting grasped is incredible here.Anyone read Martin Watt's BBC article?

Yeah yeah...Lol
A horrible typo there!
I meant 'he'
Looks like that tramps Twitter account with the fist in the glove!Something about that fist-pump screams underwhelming.
Love it.
Correct. Japan. Nice climate, lovely pitches, 50 odd year old guys jogging about. Fast forward to November. Elbows flying, tackles flying, sleet blew in on a stormy wind from Siberia. Big Ange sitting on the touchline wrapped in tinfoil. Good times.This guy will massively underestimate the practical side of Scottish football and be out by Christmas.
Well doneAny news in if he's been sacked yet?
When we confirmed our invincible season with a 100% home record the BBC made a special graphic with a few records that we had broken/matched and a strange note that we were "The first team to have a 100% home record since O'Neill's team".Anyone read Martin Watt's BBC article?

I really need to stop enjoying wetting my pampers over this!Well done
Any news in if he's been sacked yet?

Duffy Mk11Can see them signing James McLean this summer.
This guy could be a success but it all depends on what players he gets and how much time he’s given, we need to look after ourselves and get next season right.
Football is a strange sport at times-it can throw up unexpected results and it can see the written off become heroes.
That's one side of it. The other side of things is that any appointment to a top level job really needs to be the best candidate available....that's not this guy and that's their main problem. A club who has lost the support and faith in where they are heading needed a strong appointment to re-engage with them and get them putting their hands in their pockets. This is about as far away from that as you can get.
Stevie G was a big gamble but it was different from a Pedro style appointment which this guy echoes....a given style in a foreign league-a different world from the Scottish league. Stevie G also absolutely had the charisma, steel and leadership qualities to maximise his squad's desire to deliver for him. This guy will need to win over his squad and you can't seriously suggest that the more established players are either excited or fearful at the arrival of this guy. They'll be thinking %^*& I thought we were a big club.
Celtic have had in my opinion the biggest setback in their history and as such the way in what things have fallen apart the biggest distance between those running the show and the fans since McCann took over. Appointing this guy in those circumstances means you won't find a word in the English language to describe the level of risk involved.
It would appear a big selling point on this guy is the cliche he likes to play attacking football, someone surely should note that attacking football wasn't their problem last season.
I think most of us are on the same page that we saw our greatest victory this season in our history and we've seen our biggest rivals spiral through disasters that are beyond parody. It's like a dream come true.
Finally to go back to the start IF this guy delivers success it's not been planned, it won't be genius insight or anything like it. This is the equivalent of a player running to hit a crucial penalty and just shuts his eyes and blooters it....if it goes in it's just the random chance you take when your best effort is to hope it turns out ok because you need to do something.
They are grasping at straws 100%.
Apparently his tactics are attack, attack, attack!
Maybe that's why his Japanese nickname was Gung Ho.
Chinese “work together”Apparently his tactics are attack, attack, attack!
Maybe that's why his Japanese nickname was Gung Ho.
Or more likely he said he was a mate of Rolf.When the Celtic board interviewed their new Greek/oz manager, they asked him where he was born.
he said, Athens, I’m Athenian”.
the board said “ great, the jobs yours”.
No fears there with Steven at the helm.This guy could be a success but it all depends on what players he gets and how much time he’s given, we need to look after ourselves and get next season right.
Despite who is in charge at the Piggery this season, the likely outcome is that they will still beat the rest of the League apart from us. Psychology and momentum plays a massive role in sport, especially football. If the Aussie Pep gets off to a flier, the Scottish media will be delirious.
