That's not good. What are the chances he's back for Sunday?

News from unreliable sources suggests Hearts want £5m for Shankland. I think we'd be nuts to pay £2m for him.

I'm just going on the assumption that anyone saying they want Morelos back is taking the p*ss.

It does seem fairly common and I don't think how Beale treated Sakala is particularly extraordinary.

Everything about Beale being manager was a mistake, with the exception of signing Butland.

It isn't but our detractors tend not to focus on facts and stick to their narrative. They're like women, all emotional with rationale cast aside. 🤣

To quote your good pal, the RZA: Father-U-C-King the Police! 😀

I used to think the banner was unnecessary and puerile but now we know who it annoys, I'm fully behind it. 😀

They're not as 'moronic' as nationalists.

Ultras pretty much all use that slogan. My advice for anyone upset, confused, disappointed or annoyed by it is 'learn to live with it' because it's not going away. It's a lot easier to ignore than that bloody drum or the generic, monotone chants.

I can see why Cifu got a red but it's just another sign of how soft football is getting. You're lucky if you see one good tackle a game nowadays - it's a dying art.

Before anyone gets too excited, remember the core of the current squad's recent record at the Piggery. Celtc aren't as good as they were under Postecoglu but we're no great shakes either.

It's a banner at the football. And the way football fans are often treated is also 'dehumanising'.

That's already happened to a few of them. It's quite simple. The Police don't like them and they don't like the Police. This creates a bit of a vicious cycle, where the Police give them less allowances and they get a bit more focused with banners, songs etc.

That's already happened to a few of them.

Being filmed, harassed and treated like subhumans by the Police are reasons why. The point is fairly obvious. ACAB (or 1312, if you prefer the covert version) is a fairly standard slogan for any Ultras group, which you can see all over Europe. I don't think it's worthwhile, personally but it doesn't bother me in the slightest. Certainly not worthy of a thread.

Ryan Jack tends to have off days when we play Aberdeen.

We just need to keep winning and also focus on January recruitment. The game in hand follows trips to Seville and Hampden but is just as important as either of those.

Been a good weekend.

If Dessers could cut out the dithering in the box and shoot sooner, I think he'd be a decent striker.

I hope you copied Rangers in on it, otherwise it'd be utterly pointless.

Clancy not booking the Dundee player for the shirt pull right in front of him was just nuts. It wasn't just a wee tug, it was a full on grab that was blatantly obvious!

Not at all. Aberdeen would've charged us £8m for Ferguson! 😀

The Summer was a disaster, all thanks to Mick Beale. Clement has his work cut out to fix it. We need better forwards and midfielders and people who don't constantly get injured and we need them pronto (the defence can wait until Summer).

We could do with a few more Scots in the squad. I don't really watch any Scottish matches outwith ones involving Rangers, so don't know enough about opposition players to have a valid opinion on whether they'd improve us. Miovski's finish at Pittodrie was very impressive (obviously he's not Scottish though). Shankland would be better than Dessers or Lammers but I still think we can get a better striker, for less outlay, elsewhere.
