Goldson will never get a team better for him than Rangers. Quite agree.
Their new look attack will rip us apart? Some Japanese no mark and a far, waster, junkie, paedo?

He was misled mucka. From afar it may have been painted as an attractive proposition and he'll be raging about it. His due diligence was lacking though as we all knew that the downsizing was at full pelt, he should have known.

They’ll be pinning their hopes on this 19 year old to be the next best thing. Think about that for a moment! Borna will have him!

Played 7s with a "goalie" years ago who was stood about 5ft 4, was pushing 50 and generally a bit of a moon-unit. Any shot on target had a fair chance of beating him.
Yet, he would have had better positioning at that. Even the WH striker appears to be looking at the situation and thinking "Seriously? Fair enough then".

Goldson worth £1m yet Celtic have signed a CB for near on £5m and I bet he’s not a patch on Goldson. Ajer, now at Brentford, couldn’t lace Goldson’s boots.

The thing is, they'll get better once their new signings come in. Although that wouldn't be hard.
But the defensive frailties aren't going to change because the structure doesn't change. It's not Van Dijk and Ramos back there. AT BEST it's Starfelt and Welsh/Julian.
Postecoglu has had his teams playing this way for as long as he's been manager.
They'll finish 2nd and give some teams a 'doing' over the season because that's just Scottish football. But it's not going to end well.
Which is a shame

Just a reminder to FF they put 5 past Hamilton and Ross County in the first 5 games last season.They'll finish 2nd and give some teams a 'doing' over the season because that's just Scottish football. But it's not going to end well.

Remind me how last year went.
Still won’t stop the “errr ma gawd, what about the goal difference” posts until we’re 15 points ahead in the league.

The thought of Kent against that defence is stauner inducing, especially after watching the goals video from yesterday.
I'm very much aware of the old adage that you can't take much from a pre-season friendly, but what happened yesterday isn't a lack of match fitness. It's a lack of ability and/or coaching. I think they're in big trouble this season.
Especially if Midjylland put them out.
God, what times we live in.

He was. In fact the Danes goal came from that. He also should have been booked for the challenge.

And i'm not a goalkeeper, but i know keepers are always told to make themselves as big as possible in front of the striker, Peter Schmeichel was the best in the world at this, but it looks like Barkas is doing the exact opposite of that in the photo above, and as well as providing the striker with the whole of his right post, he is also making his frame as small as possible too!!
This is quite possibly the worst 5m we have ever spent, and i include that Brazilian defender 22 years ago in this too, at least he didn't get on the pitch to cost us games.

You could put me in goal for them as an undercover agent and I'd make less ridiculous gaffes than the guy they spent £5m on!

If I get the opportunity to make a third Celtic Downfall video this will give me half my contentIt is even more glorious than I remember, thanks. I just wanted a laugh but I have re-listened and there are so many highlights:
"Plan A is attractive aggressive style of football. Plan B is to make plan A better." (lolburton)
<Ange is> "the perfect Manager for a neutral, home fan or even opponents"
<Don't Check my hard drive> mentions City Football Group and the two guys arses pucker up enough for them to visibly shift in their chairs.
"J-League is a top 10 league in the world" in which a 54 year old appeared in competitive matches last season.
<Don't Check my hard drive> talks about how Ange's team recently lost to a 4th tier Japanese team as an example of how competitive Japanese football is.
<Don't Check my hard drive> states that Ange has never been in a two horse race and that he has been in regular 7-8 horse races (as if that is relevant). Both guys visibly wince.
"I am not here to defend Ange on his defending. Even Ange will not defend Ange's defending."
"Ange is not a Manager who comes in and flips a switch and everything is better. If the Celtic board were not aware of that then that is their problem"
Mentions that Ange's team conceded 54 goals in a season then says "Don't worry about the defence, it will work itself out"
Justifies this bombshell by pointing out that his team's goalkeepers know how to run and says "when they {plural!?!} have given up, lets call them dumb goals, Ange hasn't thrown them under the bus as he knows it's not their fault for playing how he wants them to play"
Talks about how he finds it an admirable quality for backing his keepers for conceding dumb goals.
<Don't Check my hard drive> is directly challenged on concerns about Ange's apparently inability to organise a defence and responds, seriously, with "I promise you that nobody has had more fun than Marianos fans. Winning is fun but this is a great chance for Celtic fans to discover different joys" <pucker, pucker, face rub, pucker>
"He needs patience and understanding"
"Green Brigade should do a thank you Yokohama banner"
"Don't worry about winning, it will be fun"

it was the exact same for the earlier chance when he went to the keepers left, barkas saved it but the striker learned from that. Amazingly bad goalkeeping.

I don’t agree. I mean he IS out of his depth and he’ll come to realise that before very long.
But Celtic have signed 2 players for money and 2 free youths from a relegated English team, the guy is being completely mugged off. They have been a shambles for months, knew a rebuild was required since January d they’ve signed 2 unknown players.
The guy has been hung out to dry by their board already

It’s also quite clear that they need to sell before they can buy. Ajer left and then they signed the other guy almost immediately and have been caught stalling on a number of deals

McInnes isn’t there now so they probably will.
I sometimes wonder if Barkas has a twin brother playing in goal somewhere else in the world who couldn't resist taking £5 million from the Green Mhugs and setting his brother up with a wee job.
He probably told him to pack in the supermarket trolley-boy job and get to Glasgow!
Nobody will ever notice - Hahahahahaha!

Almost every West Ham goal involved at least one defender being horribly out of position, and at least two or three involved one of them chasing the WH player but then running away from them as if they expected another teammate to put a tackle in. I genuinely didn't expect just the highlights to be that embarrassing, but they were.
West Ham are clearly a far slicker team than any in the SPL, not counting us, but that defence has disaster written all over it right now.

On their Dutch wonderkid defender from Sheff Weds reserves:
"He doesn't seem to have mastered control of his body, a bit like a puppy that's still figuring his legs out."
"He is certainly a unit.
Unfortunately like one of those from IKEA that when I try to build them are all over the camp"
Who says them lot aren't humorous?

I noticed in that interview that was posted on here yesterday he barely lifted his head or made eye contact with the camera . I wonder what the new CEO over there thinks about it all. It’ll be reflecting on him before much longer too hopefully.
