As a Celtic fan, it's the type of thing I'd be demanding Morelos get sent off for. As Griffiths is a bit of a bam then I'm willing to accept he was probably at it. Depends what the laws call for in terms of the whole brutality/excessive force thing.
A fair assessment. It looked clumsy in real time and very poor when watched in slo-mo replays. Ref only had the benefit of the first look at it.

Local lass or did he arrive with her?
No idea. It was mentioned in the earlier reports when The Ra were trying to plant their car bomb that Morelos arrived home with his pregnant wife to catch them at it.

Is Morelos married??
A child on the way too according to earlier reports.

@dandydunn, whit style of sneaks are these? Wae the wee dimples in the sole like that. You’ll ken. I want them in blue. 😋
Look like Adidas Hamburg. They come in a variety of colours. Horrific trainers. I am ignoring the point where you call them sneaks. Or maybe typing that means I didn't!

Seen A lot of people ask the question on twitter and IG.
was worried people would have the same idea on here, thankfully not.
Unless one of them was @steveclarke then I wouldn't worry too much.

Who is going to pick up that tab?
Can’t see teams queuing up to take him off your wage bill.
I suppose that's what comes from having a first team contract with Man City at the start of your career. Someone in the Championship will probably take him and match those wages.

Great thread.
Football daft in the 70’s as a kid. I used to get Shoot, Scoop, Roy of the Rovers, collect the Panini stickers but the earlier reference to football cards takes me back. Pack of 5? Cards and a brick hard strip of pink ‘chewing gum’ that weirdly smelled like wintergreen.
Trading cards at school - got, got, got, not got 😂 Also, dis anyone else used to play ‘flickies’ with the cards ? , usually risking only doublers or treblers that you had ( im looking at you Tony Higgins 😡) Basicallly pitching the cards against a wall and the nearest won.
Feel bad for kids today not having that stuff, at least not to the extent back then. Great part of life as a young fitba fan
Pretty much exact same for me. Shoot, Scoop, Match, RotR.
Collected the Panini, have full sets of 1978 and 1982 up the loft. Albums aren't in great nick to be fair so doubt they are worth anything. And they have my scribbles in them with the scores from each game. I remember paying my mate 15p in 1978, a fortune in those days, for the last card I needed in 1978. Also 1978 were glue backed, you had all these 8-12 year old kids at school licking stickers with a terrible taste to them to stick in their albums. No wonder so many of my generation ended up sniffing glue!
Also was wondering if anyone else played the flicking the cards with the Scottish ones and nearest to the wall won. Damaged the cards a fair bit though! Someone else mentioned the "chewing gum". WTF was that actually made from? Still ate it though. After a couple of hours you had softened it up just enough that it was chewable.....but also the size of a pea.

What's boyd said now?
He was having a go at Griffiths playing record for Celtic. He said Griffiths had only "played 34 of last 135 league games for Celtic" and then mentioned something about what Rodgers said when he joined and suggested Griffiths was not pulling his weight.
For a start he has the numbers wrong, probably a simple mistake on his part. Griffiths has started 34 and played in 71 of last 135 league games. And there are pretty well known reasons why Griffiths hasn't played in more games. Which Boyd seems to have ignored. Which is daft because anyone who has seen the make up of the Celtic squad over the last 4 years knows that Griffiths would be in the match day squad if available.

Anybody remember this one - http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/s/southampton/8236108.stm? Not sure whether to be outraged or amused at the thought of him frantically trying to get the ball out the park!
I don't see the problem with a player betting on a match he can't possibly have the remotest influence on. A lower league player told me years ago that he put a coupon on every week and the first thing he did was put his own side down for a win. Maybe he was unaware of the ruling - I certainly was - but it was more a statement of belief in his team to do the business. I doubt if it made him try any harder than he already would.
West Ham, under that devout anti-gambling person, Harry Redknapp, did the same at, I think, Man Utd on last day of the season one year. Paul Kitson got the centre and launched it right out for a throw in. Don't think there was even any attempt at calling it a pass, it almost went out where the centre line dissected the touchline, shortest possible route!

Probably means it’s curtains for him if true.
It would be quite a jump for Arteta to replace a very promising young LB just signed in a 5 year deal for £25m after 6 months/1season. Who would take him, how much would they get back, that’s a big contract to have to pay up. The big negative for Tierney so far has been his injury record at the end of his Celtic career and so far with Arsenal.

I read that yesterday and had similar thoughts, two big money left back transfers in six months is strange.
Indeed, but, crucially, two different managers. Kolasanic also there, at the moment, who was a freebie and would be on decent wages.
-
Not a Scottish transfer but it looks like Arteta is lining up the PSG left back Kurzawa on a 5 year deal, either on a free in the summer or possibly for a fee in January. What that means for Tierney I don't know.

I wonder if the regular posters here (myself included) are just dinosaurs, clinging on to an outdated form of online discussion and debate.
The main Motherwell forum is slow these days as well. There’s not even a thread about tomorrow’s game yet.
The only time it livens up is when we are shite and folk start calling for the managers head. 😂
Im not a big fan of twitter, it’s toxic and every football story quickly gets dragged to the same gutter point scoring garbage.
Facebook appears to be for illiterate morons and old people.
Im too old for instagram
Im going to need to start doing work during the day and speaking to my family of an evening. 😱I am on about 2-3 TA FB groups. The TAMB here, even in its current state of health, is a 100% better than any of them.

Late to the game but currently going through The Man In The High Castle.
First series was superb although the 2nd has started pretty slowly.
Semi-spoiler....it didn't end well.

Cobra, utter toley
the only good bits are in the trailers, dull no twists or edge of the seats moments
even a good cast cant save it
5 hours i'll never get back
Two episodes in and its already very scripted where everyone has their own problems outside the actual main problem of the loss of power. Given your review I doubt I will be back for the rest of it.
Ive been watching Godfather of Harlem. Forrest Whittaker plays Bumpy Johnson, Harlem around 1962/3. Supporting cast of the Mafia, Nation of Islam and Malcolm X. Enjoyed season 1.
I would also recommend Wu-Tang, An American Saga if anyone can get hold of it.

Hopefully Dandy and Ramy had an angry wank last night and relieved some pent up frustration.
What a car crash of a thread.
I remember the last time Celtic and the Dons had a TAMB meltdown. Celtic called out Aberdeen who were on their toes quicker than you could say "A single to Holland please". Lets see if same happens here. RIP Rossy. Aberdeen always running away.

Goldson and Katic have their hands up straight away. Not sure on McGregors view- havent seen any photos from behind the goal.
Anyway, not like the previous seasons rules where if its not intentional, the goal would have stood. If it plays his arm at all, it cant stand. Simple physics tells you it must have played his arm- otherwise why does the ball go in that direction?
Its just poor refereeing, from a referee that is consistantly below standard.
I’m sorry but why does “simple physics” tell you it had to be off his arm? Why can’t it come of his hip or his side or some other part in the middle of his body? He’s slightly ran across the path of the ball. Any deflection of him is going to deflect the ball in the direction it went.
We all know it was of his arm, now. After having the chance to see replays of it. Rangers seem to be heading down the road of implying it was the worst and most obvious error ever made in an OF game. I wonder why that is?
-
Gerrard’s going to look a bit of tit with his celebrations if they don’t go on and win the league now. Then again, after winning the World Cup and Champions League yesterday who needs a SPL title?

Used to do it years ago, the offers available now seem minuscule compared to what you used to get. Laddies, Hills, Corals were all £100 bonus for new accounts.
Like DD said, the Bet365 offers were great but then they stopped me getting any bonus offers from them due to me rinsing that offer so often.
Now I maybe do £5/10 on a coupon at the weekend. That’s it. To be even remotely successful you have to have multiple accounts, a good idea of calculating your own prices and lots of time on your hands. Too much time involved in all that for me to take it seriously enough.

It’s the Spanish word describing the specific hatred/competition in a football ‘derby’. The guy travels around Spain giving the backgrounds to each city or region, as you have no doubt discovered. My favourite chapter was Seville so I’ll also give your suggestion a go 👍
Read Morbo and a similar one about German football, Tor, years ago. Both very good.

Altered State - The story of ecstasy culture and acid house by Matthew Colin. An amazing book, I just wanted to be 21 again, at The Arches out my banger.
The frying pan of Spain by Colin Miller which is about the rivalry between Real Betis and Sevilla.
Chamber Music - About the Wu Tang in 36 pieces. 36 chapters dedicated to the Wu Tangs debut album 'Enter the 36 Chambers' An amazing book which really breaks down the importance of that album, not just in hip hop circles but popular culture.
Notes to A Tribe Called Quest by Hamid Abdurraqib. Not quite finished this yet but a really good history of their story alongside the author's own life and how their music impacted his upbringing and adult years.
Danish Dynamite by Rob Smyth, Lars Eriksen and Mike Gibbons. All about the Danish team of the 80's with the central theme being their team at the 1986 world cup, where by all accounts they had a genuine opportunity to win the big one.
Not a book but Wu-Tang - An American Saga is a great watch. Available from all the usual places 👍

If you’re interested at all in Italian football history, I recently read ‘Erbstein: The triumph and tragedy of football's forgotten pioneer’. It’s a biography of Ernö Erbstein & looks at his life & influences set against the political backdrop of Fascism (he was Jewish) up to his death in the Superga disaster that wiped out the Torino team. A very good read.
Thanks very much, will have a look for that one.

Sounds up my street. Cheers. 👍
Have you been to Genoa for a Derby? Might PM you for a bit info if you have and that's okay?
Sorry sir, never been that far “west” for any games in Italy. I’m mainly North East and down to Bologna and Emilia-Romagna. I’m heading back to Venezia again in March, had a great time there last November, went to a game on a boat! A few of the lads we met were in Rimini and San Marino on the Sunday.
Seen a poster on European Football Weekends (Facebook Group) who had just been to the latest Genoa derby and said he got tickets quite easily. One of the original members of the North of Italy TA is a Samp fan but I’ve only met him once. My other mates across there, who were also with me in Rimini, will still be in contact with him and also know a fair bit so yes, if you are going to head to it, I can ask for info for you.
The books a very good read. Follows the history of Cosenza ultras but is interspersed with a lot on other notable teams, notable incidents, the swing in the politics and also the criminal element (diabolik at Lazio and Juve mafia). Some of the incidents and police stuff are nuts. There is a fair bit about the incident in Sicily which led to the “lockdown” of our game in Bari a few weeks later. Leaves you shaking your head at the outcome.

Passed by newsagents at lunchtime and I see his interview in front page news in the Record, I think. Alfie - My Racism Hell. Note the "softening" of his name into a nice cuddly Alfie now, cleaning up his image, no longer the (alleged) love rat and obnoxious player.
