https://www.youtube.com/@Gameday523 This YouTube channel is worth checking out if you are interested in English lower division and non-league football. The presenter covers some great matches, ones which don't make the national media. He also presents a rugby league show once a week, which is also good viewing.

It must be fun to be a Celtic fan tonight😛

They won't sack him but if they do they will appoint someone useless on the basis of being a "Rangers man".

If he goes then there must be a proper application process to choose his successor. None of this former players bollocks. I think the board think that a large section of the support will be delighted with a 'hero' from the past with no experience or talent for the job. Sad thing is that they are probably right.

I don't think that anyone should be facing the sack yet but if it happens then I would hope for a proper interview process next time, not just a cheap appointment of someone because of a previous connection to the club. The last two managers just went through without any process.

Review of new shirt. I really like the LMC YouTube channel.

If they haven't sold all the tickets for the second leg then I think they'll have a hard job shifting them now.

I think it is Leicester and Leeds going down. They have got tough games and I think Everton will beat Bournemouth who have nothing at stake. I think Leeds will beat Spurs (not a terribly difficult task these days) but it won't do them any good.

I think you are right. I've no doubt that many will disagree but sometimes you have to look at the perforance and not the result. Let's face it, in a few months time, this result will be as meaningless as a bad result from 1983 or 1995 or 2009. Or as a good result for that matter. What is important and meaningful is to create something good for the future. That can only be done by consistent good performances, not through scraping through games by winning 1-0 on a penalty. It also needs a good manager and it is too early to say whether or not that is Beale.

I've been over to see Linfield a few times and always love it there but I hope that Larne win the league this year. They are in a good position - 7 points clear with four games remaining. A Larne win would also mean that there will have been four different champions in the last decade, a good sign for any league.

I know that people were predicting all kindsof winning scorelines on the prediction thread but is anyone really surprised by the result? Disappointed yes, but surprised?

Perhaps. And I have to say that I am not particularly happy with it. I would much rather have a team who have been developed by the club, rather than a legion of signings. There should be a balance of course, but the thought of Ragers making 'marquee signings' (unlikely to happen, I know) depresses me a bit.

If you are happy with the idea that success not only can, but should, be bought, then you will see nothing wrong with what City have done. Personally, I would like to see a limit on what can be spent by any team, anything above that will result in punishment. That would put a stop to the obscene wages, transfer fees and glorification of sugar daddies that seem to be the defining factors in football today.

But, just the same as us,unless he is found guilty then he is not guilty. I don't think we want to do away with the presumption of innocence. I think he will struggle to resurrect his career though.

For all the disappointment of letting a lead slip, I think that for medium and long term prospects today's result was far better than a scrappy 1-0 win against the run of play would have been. Whatever some say, three points is not and never has been all that it is about. It is also about trajectories. Celtic's trajectory had been up, certain idiots like Sutton were wanking themselves senseless in praise of 'Angeball'. If they had dominated today and had lost unluckily then that assessment would still be held by them (and probably by Rangers in a psychologically damaging way). Today's result and performance is something which has stopped their momentum and hopefully is something that can be built on.
