Good grief I had erased that from memory. Awful things that gave you concussion!

I once took one of those from a full power toe basher direct hit on the side of the face on a wet day.  That was decades ago but unsurprisingly I still haven't forgotten it.

MUST be accompanied by lashings of Wintergreen on all exposed areas.

I'd agree with much of that.

 

We have to take responsibility for our results against other teams and not point towards things that comes down to making excuses. 

 

The way celtic loan players to other various top tier sides is something that strikes me as something that amounts to an 'unfair advantage'.

 

Whether it be Ajer/Kilmarnock, Allen/Dundee/Hibs, Christie/Aberdeen or whoever.......it means those teams are stronger when they play all other teams except Celtic and it also means forced changes for that opposition going into the game against Celtic.

 

The same happened with O'Hallaron at St.Johnstone ealier this season, so it's not just Celtic who have done it, although they are by far the biggest benficiaries.

 

I think the rule should be changed and teams shouldn't be able to loan players to teams in the same division.

 

You’re right, it’s something that benefits the top club above all. They have the funds to buy players like Allan and Christie who they don’t need, and the Hibs or Aberdeen they face will then be different to the Hibs or Aberdeen everyone else faces. And those teams

are then disadvantaged when they face the loaning club because they have at least one very big change to make to their team and strategy for that game.

Same team again, except for Halliday in for John. 

 

I suppose Holt has been pushed out by Docherty?

Lewis Morgan may come into the same equation next season.

They seem to 'collect' these type of players but bring in Mussonda on big money for the same position.

 

Why not loan a talented No.10 to  every team in the top tier except Rangers ?....'sporting integrity' 

 

- No Scott Allan and Dundee don't beat Rangers in December.

Craig made the point that you could insist that players were made avaialable against their parent club but that may be difficult to enforce.

He's in possesssion of the jersey and deserves to play.

 

Harsh on Holt but I like the premise, which is often talked about but practised less.
