^^^ Doesn't understand bio-mechanics

Not sure where to post this but in the aftermath of Kieran Tierney snubbing a proposed £50m move to Real Madrid I saw this today. Generally football gossip columns tend to have more than a grain of truth and this is not the first mention of Matt O'Reilly in the last few months. I see he's represented by CAA Base Ltd whose clientele is vast and peppered with good EPL players (Son, Maddison, Varane, Richarlison,....) and several managers including Ange Postecoglu. Is there any way to apply logic to this rumour. Does he want out of Scottish football, do the club want rid of him or is just another facet of the worldwide money laundering / tax evasion machine that underpins professional football.

Pee Yesh Vee...? They Hibshed it fore shure......

It's all about arse covering. If they get relegated they'll say it was unlucky as they've used the same model as most of their competitors and surely bringing in players from a neighbouring country with a higher football pedigree is a sound strategy. It takes bravery and a willingness to fail yet stick with the plan to make it work in the longer term. Most managers don't get that luxury.

I've never forgotten that result!! Icelandic club football wasn't a lot better that it was given credit for and the ultimate sickener was DAFC going ahead and the commentator pointing out that the opponents were a part-time club whose inferior fitness would probably show in the later stages of the match...cue goals in the 83rd and 90th minute. Horrendous!!

You're not the first to believe that the object of their hatred 'just disappearing' would solve everything.

Levein definitely cost Hearts the title....... Your absolute belief in the merit of your clubs achievements shakes me (but you're far from alone). If a guy like CL had only coached a bit better and wanted it more the title was his for sure

Well if that group of players have been playing together for the last 8 years then it's no wonder they're well drilled

Why do you think Brexit happened? Taking back control of club crests

Unplayable at times during that amazing season of 2016/17

I saw the squad at Malaga airport this morning. Jack Ross seems to have done himself a mischief (big moon boot) and Steven Fletcher was sporting a horrific mun!

It's not the opening 5 games I'd have chosen if trying to get some early momentum .

Bonnyrigg ran away with it last season With the league getting more competitive with each passing season it would be nice to be in the mix come April

Not for me. Decent singles band (for a while) I'll give you that.

Major crypto lending platform Celsius on Monday announced it was suspending all withdrawals due to “extreme market conditions,” triggering a major selloff in the cryptocurrency market with Bitcoin dropping dropping more than 9%. In a blog post on Monday, Celsius said it was “pausing all withdrawals, [currency] swap, and transfers between accounts,” noting that it was doing so to allow itself to meet all of its withdrawal obligations in the future. The company said its action will “stabilize liquidity and operations while we take steps to preserve and protect assets,” and added that its customers will continue to accrue rewards during the freeze. According to its website, Celsius claims it held $11.8 billion in assets as of May 17, has processed $8.2 billion in loans and has around 1.7 million customers. Following the announcement, the value of Celsius’ own token (CEL) slumped by more than 50%, and as of early Monday morning, it was trading below 20 cents—massively down from around $2 in early May and $7 in June last year. Celsius’ announcement also triggered a selloff in the wider cryptocurrency market with Bitcoin dropping below $25,000, its lowest level since December 2020. The suspension of withdrawals comes just a day after Celsius founder and CEO Alex Mashinsky hit out at critics on Twitter, accusing them of spreading misinformation and FUD—a popular crypto acronym for “Fear, Uncertainty, Doubt.” Responding to a tweet by Mike Dudas, the founder of crypto news outlet The Block, Mashinsky wrote: “Mike do you know even one person who has a problem withdrawing from Celsius?… If you are paid for this then let everyone know you are picking sides.”

You'll enjoy the breath of fresh air that the LL provides and I think you'll win far more than 7 league matches next season

With 2.4 billion christians in the world who, presumably, believe he does exist it doesn't sound like such a great trick tbh. Ultimately I'm just glad that God wanted it more

I'm sure that if they create a shortlist they'll get you on to the decision panel

Was this originally intended for Friday's edition..?

Is that Greg Taylor in that pic? Celtic legend imo.

No, but there were a few snide digs about his income and his qualities as a man, poor stuff

Traitors will be shot...

The issue isn't that Celtic get some 'dodgy' decisions in their favour (all teams do), it's that Celtic fans generally refuse to acknowledge it but then go tonto when things to against them...hiring private detectives, putting it on their AGM agenda, raising it in the Scottish parliament, etc

Show me a manager that doesn't! Spoiler - You can't
