They just seem to have a scattergun approach to their recruitment, fairly bloated and unbalanced.
Kent will make it 11 signings this close season. 9 of those play either centre midfield or wide. 2 of the current 10 signings started yesterday.

Rangers spending £7m. Hope Liverpool aren't scheduling that over more than a couple of seasons.
Another average winger to add to the 9 they already have.

Gerrard's team selection was bamboozling but too many players were just utter pish on the day.
The big French guy at the back for the tims stuck out a mile, he strolled it.
And Bitton.

Great 2nd half from us tonight, much more controlled. First half was ropey at the back but good going forward. Hopefully injuries to Eddy and Ajer are minor.
Ajer a groin strain so think already ruled out of Sunday.

That, if true, is incredible. Truly obscene. Most contracts are now 52 weeks so imagine someone playing for Bury earning even £300k per annum!!! Ridiculous.
I always have my doubts over someone random saying he heard from Mr XYZ that such and such is earning so much so may will take it with a pinch of salt but even half that figure would be mental money.

I imagine there are going to be several more clubs this season.
I would doubt that will be the case seeing as this is the first one in about 25 years.

Re Bury I’d be interested to know what the average wage was. £1k a week? They had that clown Clark as gaffer, he wouldn’t be on pennies? Fuck them. Hope there’s more go tits up in the English greed game.
This was debated on my FB last couple of nights. Friend of a friend from down that area says they had at least one player on £10k a week. Possibly more. Thats a salary no one outside Celtic and Rangers could pay up here.

What's the story with Sinclair getting so little game time lately?
He's not been very good, or certainly the levels he was at when he first arrived, for a fair period of time now. Most of last season I would say. He is also on a fair wage apparently and I would think a combo of the board and Lennon would have been happy to get rid of his salary to potentially spend that elsewhere. I say potentially.

That specific game wasn't to down to recruitment no, but our recruitment policy is symptomatic of the way the club is being run. I think we have 29 players in our first team squad, that's far too many.
I agree. Every year the board seem to play chicken with the CL qualifiers. They won't splash out the needed early in the transfer window to make the qualifiers an easier proposition than what they have been the last few years. Its only if the qualifiers are navigated and the CL money guaranteed that they then provide the additional funds to further strengthen. Some would say that is a prudent way to run a club financially but as has been seen the last two seasons, its not worked. And given the supposed funds on the balance sheet, its not a case of plunging into the red by giving the manager the appropriate funds at the right time of the transfer window.

They’ve pinched other teams best players for peanuts for years, if they’d offered real value for McGinn & McKenna they would be a lot better now. They demand big money for their own players but low ball teams in Scotland, nobody to blame but their arrogant selves 😱
Name them please.
If they have been doing it for years I would imagine there is a long list.

A shambles of a team selection which in turn delivered a similar level of performance on the pitch, who would have though it.
To start, playing your probably most influential centre mid at left back, a position he can't play as has been shown before. Double whammy of losing him from the centre of the park and him being pretty ineffective in where he was playing. No surprise that first goal was a lump over the box and their player jumped all over McGregor at back post to head in.
Play Bolingoli at LB, play Johnny Hayes if need be. Just don't play your best midfield player there.
There is also the man management of Bolingoli to consider. Where does he see himself now, whats his confidence levels?
Paying £7m for a centre back and not playing him last night. Madness! He needs game time apparently. Well stick him in last night and if he then needs a wee break after that, well its Dunfermline at home on Saturday.
He also needs to address the goalkeeping issue thats been about for a bit. Neither are good enough long term. Big Forster is nowhere near the first team at Southampton, they should be making inquiries about his availability.
Questions need to be asked about Brown's rush of blood too. 2-1 up, why on earth do you do what you did? From the most experienced player on the pitch?? Madness.
Lennon blaming the players performances for last nights result when it was his team selection which did the most damage.

Sorry Terry but that's a real tweet by a real Celtic supporter. Someone else has retweet the original and the guys timeline is basically your run of the mill "Sevco bad!" shite with the occasional one about his own team.
Folk like that, on both sides, need to either get laid or get locked up. 😂
Nope, its a parody account run by a Rangers fan. No retweet involved.

I thought we done ok and truthfully thought the game was there for the taking in the second half if we had a bit more belief.
3 hours ago, Tartan_McCole said:Aye, agreed. We seemed happy to just play out the draw and take it back to Glasgow. After we equalised I never felt we were in any real danger.
So did I. I thought it was relatively comfortably game and bar their breakaway and one other chance in the first half there was little threat. I definitely felt the game was there for the winning.
2 hours ago, Fairbairn said:What a farce that tournament is. So the losers of this round, the next round and 3rd place in the group stages all get parachuted in to the Europa? Fucking ridiculous.
Teams have dropped into it all through the Champions League qualifying rounds as "lucky losers". Its a farce of a tournament. It would have far more credibility if it was just who qualified for it at the start rather than giving losing CL teams another shot at European football.

That's a really interesting take on it. I tend to agree with you too. If it wasn't for the injury and the problems he had you wonder how good he could have been.
I'd go for Paolo Di Canio. One of the most gifted and watchable players I've seen in the flesh.
British?

Graeme Sharp, David Speedie, Brian McClair
Beat me to it on McClair. The first player to score over 20 league goals for Man Utd since Best in 1967, also 100+ goals in both Scotland and England. 2 for us in 30 games, one of which was in his last game.

BBC reporting tierney on way to arsenal for talks
I would love to know how Arsenal do a medical on him and what constitutes a pass!

Let’s not pretend that it’s an acceptable banner.
If they were to hear someone calling them a fenian bastard etc etc, they would be away running to grass people up, but it’s ok to use it themselves.
I’m not discussing it anymore, you’ll have tunnel vision on the whole subject, so I’m out.
The banner didn't say Fenian Bastard though did it?
You are right, new season, same old pish.

80m for harry maguire too. How anyone can think hes worth more than van dijk is beyond me
He's not, transfer fees are inflating all the time. If VVD was to be sold now he would easily be £100m+. There is also, always, a premium paid for English players by English sides to help with European squad rules.

Real football ?
A meaningless friendly ? With 10 substitutions ? The star men missing ? No tackles flying ?
For £67 ?
This was a money making exercise.
All these pre-season friendlies played here, Dublin, America, China, Japan, where ever, are exactly that. Teams don't fire across to the USA because its best for their pre-season prep, they do it to bank a few million £.

Who ever he is, he is ruining the non TA football board. He puts people off posting and winds others up constantly, it seems the new mods and admin are happy with it too. This section is barely worth looking at nowadays because of arseholes like rolling hills. The mere mention of rangers and hes spamming the fuck out of the board.
I've got the imbecile on block now but it doesn't do much good when others quotes him. He tries to pass it off as banter which it isn't so I can only conclude that he is on the wind up or he is a complete and utter moron.
Congrats to the new mods and admin, you managed to make the board worse since you took over. It's no longer a place where scotland fans can actually enjoy discussing football.
Honestly mate, it is only a football message board on the internet. Don’t let it bother you so much!

It's quite hilarious though isn't it? Going to the Bay on Saturday. I see a new pub opening up soon at St Davids. That should be good. Probably on the same price scale as Louie Browns right enough! In the Borders now mate. The Rolling Hills.
Not sure when the St David’s place will open but the old Tryst/Bay Inn (depending on when you were in the Bay) reopened as an Italian restaurant but is now just a pub, Hugo’s. Great beer garden out front and very busy if weather good. Same owners and pricing as LBs.
Dont get the whole “ron” thing bar you both being Rangers fans.

LG quite effective despite not playing football anymore.
