apparently they were denied two stone wall penalties.

never realised they counted birthdays back then - thought they were too busy ark-building and animal gathering and whatnot.

i was one.

you need to change it in your forum profile mate - next to your signature etc.

3-5-2 wouldnt beat anybody!

the away goal rule should be scrapped when we're at home.

anyone convinced any of these are teams that could regularly beat a celtic team strengthened significantly in the summer?

it does look weak, even with the 'better' signings. mcgregor hutton weir webster smith brown hemdani thomson super-lm ferguson genuine-european-class-striker i think that would be a strongish team, but i think its unlikely we'll get a left midfielder of genuine quality, much less a 'can-do-it-all' striker for ferguson to play off with forward runs made by brown and said left midfielder. all this and peak oil. its depressing times.

walter smith says no chance. story ended. ""There's nothing in it," explained Smith. "People saw me at the game and put two and two together."

i think this is an important point. prso is not a natural goalscorer like boyd, nothing like it - but he's got infinitely more quality. and when there's ten minutes to go, we've had our backs to the wall for a 15 minute and the ball drops in the box, you really think that prso's quality and experience, more than anyone else's, will just turn the ball goalwards.

still no boyd cammy?

all scots, but, then, that wouldn't be hard in our team would it?!!! *self-congratulation*.

i think walter smith is a better manager now than he was. he seems to have clearly identified the problems, and every assessment he gives of a game seems to be exactly what i'm thinking. for instance at the weekend he firmly made the point that he understood and appreciated the fact that we had to be playing a lot better passing football - this is clearly one of his goals, and the getting the results hasn't blinded him to the larger changes needed. he also recently came out with the brutally honest assessment that we are five years or so behind celtic in terms of youth development despite murray park. this is a mark of a more mature approach to management that has seen the likes of man u - where previously he was only interested really in the first team and wouldnt give bf a game. i wasnt pleased when he came in initially, but i am being won round. he has a genuine presence that this club needs at the helm.

i never said it was - as your second paragraph shows. had mcgregor not made *several* important saves their goalie's arse ups could have been meaningless.

difference in the goalies was the difference in the match.

yeah, 'tis fair.

i think svensson's done quite well recently.

agreed - no-one would have the guts to print that here. tell you what, though, if someone wrote an article about the stupidity of pursuing britishness and singing songs about hating celtic, how many of us would see it as yet another media attack on the club?

the truth is, though, that you cant use this kind of article in oneupmanship because we're just as bad.

will leave yours in m8.

thats bizarre. i mean, do they understand what the word 'bigot' means? even if you were some anti-media malcontent, its not bigotry. insane.

whaaaaaaaa?

agreed - at to be perfectly fair to the referee he had a good game. he let the game flow as much as possible, and we got away with being strong in the tackle. even if he didnt do anything, to be anywhere near the incident is irresponsible and he should be held responsible.

i dont understand why anyone's worrying about poor allan mcgregor - he was the one that got himself sent off, and caused all the problems in the first place. klos looked grossly unfit when he came on, but he's really our only choice. he should be given a run out at the weekend.
