Why cant we be flexible and rearrange the game for today or Sunday? It wouldn't take that much organisation.

Why didn't he stay or return to Kilmarnock? Kilmarnock fans will be beelin'.

Livingston have signed Chris Erskine from Partick Thistle (https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/local-sport/partick-thistle…). Maybe Ryan Hardie is staying.

I remember a Celtic supporter coming on Jim Traynor's phone-in and telling how he carried out work at Sutton's house. When asked what like Sutton was he said he was a miserable moaning git.

Great player. I remember him scoring against England at Hampden to record our first victory in 25 years at Hampden.

Morelos knew what he was doing both times. 

 

The one on brown would be a soft yellow. The one on ralston is a yellow. 

 

Beaton lets all sorts go for all teams and thats what makes him the best ref we have. Games are better under him. 

 

The press and celtc are embarasing themselves now. 

 

Only real mistake beaton made was not giving us a pen. Even that was an understandable miss. 

Wait a minute, wasn't Beaton the referee for Rangers v Hibs 2017. He was crucified on here for not sending off Stokes and sending off Ryan Jack. He was accused of all the bias against Celtic in the Rangers Celtic game. The only difference is the media including the BBC joined in.

I noted that Murphy, Dorrans and Barisic are all training in Teneriffe.

I would be training in Tenerife too, but not in Scotland - I'm still injured ☺️.

Depends, for run-outs, stumpings, no-balls, if ball has reached boundary, 4 or 6 and probably more,.... the umpire can request assistance.

 

The thing about tennis and cricket is that the teams have a maximum number of appeals that come within their respective set criteria. 

 

I reckon that VAR/football could trial a maximum of one appeal per team, per 45 or 90 minutes. 

This would be in addition to the way VAR is used just now and would partially eliminate one of the systems weaknesses, ie. when VAR assistant doesn't pick up on something, eg. Real Madrid penalty claim last Sunday.

Good idea, but does the ref get overruled?

Couldn't agree more.  The system that Rugby or Cricket uses is perfectly fine.  The reviewer(s) look at the data and make a decision that they communicate to the ref on the pitch who then takes the appropriate action.  Seems sensible to me!

Rugby and cricket are different in that the ref or umpire calls up the review when he cannot make up his mind on what decision to take.

I am all for VAR but I think the VAR officials should make the final decision and not the referee. Having a referee trudge over to watch something the VAR officials have looked at from every angle possible is a waste of time. It is having teething problems and some decisions will still remain debated as it is an opinion and they differ from person to person. That is why I think a 3 man VAR team will at least give a majority decision.

The referee should have the final decision. I wouldn't sit right having guys sitting in a cosy studio making decisions that could overrule the referee. Just bring arguable decisions to the ref's attention so that he can change his mind if he feels he has made a wrong decision.

I remember Billy McNeil's daughter getting done for shop lifting. I indulged in a bit of banter with a Celtic supporting workmate. I said I blame the parents particularly the father. Of course dangerous driving is a much more serious offence.

I remember Andy Gray doing us a turn even though he had lost all his pace.

Totally agree with regards to Kent. We need this type of performance on a regular basis before we look to making this permanent. 

Yes a lot of people were raving about Coulibally after a couple of good games and saying to sign him permanently, but I must admit Kent gives us a bit of spark.

Rangers 1 Celtic 0

FGS McCrorie

Shinnie gets booked a lot playing for Aberdeen. It would be worse for us as he would feel the pressure to perform and he can't.

Rangers 4  Celtic 0

FGS Katic

I had a dream.

Graham Shinnie no way. Maybe on our way up the leagues but not nowadays.

We're talking about bringing in quality then in the next breath Tom Eaves ?

I doubt we will find the players we need in the January window. I hope we don't waste money. I also don't see the point of Coulibally.

It's a balance between getting better value out of what we already have, youth and if possible, bringing in a little quality to address the 'middle to front' issue. 

 

Last year, we made good use of the winter break and came out of it bouncing  (Jimmy Nicholl being a big part of that IMO).

 

 

 

It didn't last though ?

Still think we have nothing to lose by bringing in the young guy from Ayr United. He's mobile and can grab goals in the penalty box. Can't be any worse than Lafferty? 

Was listening to the Ayr United chairman interviewed on BBC Scotland on Saturday and I think it would take at least £400 thousand to sign Shankland.

Hyndman was another one that started well then faded, although you might not describe Bournemouth as a big club. Will probably play against us this Wednesday, hopefully he has an off night.

But Naismith always likely to get injured so I don't think we made a mistake not signing him.

Just saw the last half hour or so and though we had lots of pressure very few clear cut chances. Middleton Arfield and Grezda have got to come in the box when it looks like the ball is going to be crossed in.

Just saw the Hearts result. Jings what a scoreline ?.
