Does anybody follow Old Holborn on Twitter ? That boy pushes it to the limit (especially with Scousers) .He's started doing some stuff for Charlie Hebdo.
Yep, got him, very close to the bone but always pushing the "freedom of speech" argument. Rightly IMO.
You were gassing with friends. On Twitter - a public forum that anyone can read.
Sorry mate but you've only got yourself to blame for this. Recommend you get Whats App for "gassing with friends" and/or be more careful what you post on Twitter.
Either that or fail to learn from your mistakes.
Nope, disagree. Is it really such a huge issue if one Aberdeen fan, who wants to attend the game, and can't get a ticket, says they are going to get a ticket in the Celtic end, where plenty are available. Its not like he is going in tooled up to cause bother....unlike the 80's. The fact that folk feel the need to "report" this sort of thing is infantile in the extreme. Considering we, as a support at away game, positively encourage it wherever we play means that anyone who feels its wrong is pretty hypocritical. IMO.
This is where I get the "grassing up" part that TJ is referring to. The comments on here, and on Twitter, are hardly Al Qaida planning another 9/11. Its folks talking, winding up other fans, having a dig. Folks really need to redial their offendometer back a few notches IMO. Sticks and stones and all that.

I seen King was talking about restoring Rangers to the "traditions values and ethos" of when he was a kid growing up. That will be all the Tims fvcked off out the club then.

Coisty getting clapped in to the EGM.
Those pesky Celtic supporters get everywhere.

If he picked her up in a nightclub or bar then he gets off on a technicality that she should have not been there in the first place (as she was not over 18)
Its not often that you get things wrong on TAMB.....but you have this time.

But they got all uppity and started bidding for buildings and when that happens you know the EDL will soon be on the scene.

Bit of both Mike
People are quick to criticise and scream "THATS PURE SHITE" instead of talking our game up because make no mistake those two teams today are actually alright.
TBH having seen both teams over the last month I feared for us today even though we had been gubbing teams pretty easily ourselves.Both Inter games where Celtic played really well were the clincher.
Yep some of the stuff played in second half was good, quick tempo, kept the ball well.
It's the first time Ive really watched Aberdeen this season and I was impressed by first half. Quite a few chances created, just fell to wrong people (Considine). Some saying they are toothless but they have top scorer in SPL and if Rooney had been playing for us second half he would have had 2 or 3 based on chances we passed up in last 30 mins.
KPS mentioned in other match thread that credit should be given to Aberdeen for their consistency to this point, that's true too. The reason the leagues been done in the past by now is all the other teams have taken points from each other. The difference when 1 side can avoid falling into that category and string a set of wins together is actually very good for all Scottish football as it keeps the interest levels far higher.

Before I talk about the game, a lot has been said about how poor Celtic are however that does not even come close to painting the full picture. We may be behind on points compared to last season but on a par with the last few seasons. The fact that Aberdeen are so close is due to the fantastic consistency shown by them. Winning games they would have previously lost or drawn in years gone by. Everyone should recognise how good Aberdeen have been, not commenting on Celtics early season form.
Onto today. First half Aberdeen were all over us and the goal was completely against the run of play. Don't think any Celtic fan would have been too upset at going in 0-0 (or even 0-1) at half time. The pressing and high tempo was exactly what we have been doing to team's and we could not cope with it.
Second half, Aberdeen tired, as expected, and Celtic started to dominate. The scoreline flattered Celtic in terms of the 90mins, but it could also have been 6 or 7, so wasteful were we.
- it was not a foul for the first goal, keeper should have been stronger
- thought both penalty decisions were correct however it was on the soft/silly side.
- thought the ref was poor overall with favouring either team, he balanced out his poor decisions.
I do not think today has any significance on the title destination however it does open up a bit of a gap. Credit to Aberdeen for fantastic consistency over the season however, love him or hate him, this Celtic team is extremely fit and our ability to produce that 2nd half performance would not have happened under Lennon.
I am posting in this thread as I want nothing to do with the other thread. Quite a sad reflection on 'Jock's weans'. I come on here to discuss football. Roll on the next Scotland game as the board goes into silly season during the international voids.
Good sensible post and spot on about everything, game and season so far. I mentioned in the car crash thread that Celtic didn't look the side who had played a tough game on Thursday in the last 30 mins and you can see Delia's way he wants to play and emphasis on fitness and pressing really starting to come thru now.
-
i think the goal just before HT after Aberdeen had missed the best of the chances before hand was a real sickener for them. And then when pushing for the equaliser, the conceding of such a silly pen finished them off.
The last half hour could have seen a bucketload if chances had been taken but the other thing that came through in that period, IMO, was Celtics fitness. Delia has been keen to improve that and implement the pressing game....and its starting to show dividends. Celtic certainly didn't look the side who had played a hard game and with 10 men for about an hour on Thursday, Aberdeen looked the ones who who looked like they were flagging, whether that was tiredness or just dispirited from the score line I don't know.

He changed the face of music in the late 80's and early 90's as part of NWA. One of the most influential musicians of his generation, no doubt.
He's also had a distinguished solo career and a semi-successful acting career.
Please please delete the reference to acting. Apart from Boyz N The Hood and the Friday series, he's exactly what he was rapping about on Burn Hollywood Burn on FOABP. Are We There Yet - FFS!!!
Must have been a quiet life up north for DandyDunn
Btw, have you seen the trailer for Straight Outta Compton, looks good.

Well your defending the song about this gang of bigoted s, so you obviously think that something about Mr Fullarton's criminal activities, disgusting sectarian beliefs and appalling political allegiance, is evidently a harmless thing to celebrate ?
LOL, thats some assumption you have just made from "That is rubbish, it's a song about a Bridgeton Gang fighting another gang originally."
At no time does that comment say that GMC either defends, admires or celebrates that song.
Did you do reading at school?
-
Correct.
I can only assume that he thought by playing Nasri and Silva "wide", that they would tuck in and offer another 2 bodies in there. Although, anyone who's ever seen Nasri and Silva play would've been able to tell him that chasing, harrying and winning the ball back is attributes these guys don't possess.
From their line-up, I assume City thought they were good enough to dominate the ball and control the game. That was never going to be the case though. Teams who've done well against Barca this year are ones who've sat in and hit Barca on the break.
With Nasri, Aguero, Navas and Silva (to a lesser extent), City have the perfect front 4 players to break quickly. I'm bemused as to why they set up the way they did.
Also good to see the myth of Kompany further exposed. Two seasons in a row that home defeats to Barca have been his fault. Last night it was impossible to blame Demichiles though, so Kompany being a liability was attributed to "luck" for Barca
As you said, they have some great ball players, with pace, in their squad so surely being able to break on Barca would have been a better way to set up last night. And if they wanted a bit physicality up front then Bony would probably have been the better option over Dzeko. Dzeko may have a height advantage over the majority of Barca but Pique and Busquets would and did take care of him without much issue. Besides the rest of their side had as much a look of the Time Bandits about it as Barca traditionally look.
Also, for all their millions spent, if they best they can come up with to play Barca in midfield when Toure is out are James Milner, a decent but average BPL player, and Fernando, another quite limited player, then someone has spent money poorly somewhere along the line.
Iniesta, Rakitic and Busquets just passed round those two easily. And as you said, no real back up to them from Silva and Nasri. Milner would have been better used in the wide role he normally plays, he would have chased back more, he would have provided more support to the centre mid if he was in his normal position but seeing him playing chase ball against 3 of the best possession players in European football, I almost felt sorry for him!
-
Lee Dixons normally a decent pundit but he seemed to go back to the 80s tonight in first half....City have to send it over the top, City have to get it down the wings and chuck it in the box....I am sure they might have if they could have got hold of the ball. For a 10 min spell from about 20-30 mins I think City has the ball for about 60 secs. Going in with 2 men in centre mid v Barca was tactical suicide from Pellegrini.

Booked Inverness Dublin Friday Sunday. £450 not happy. Just didn't know if I was working away. Can't wait.
You could have got Edin - Dublin for £180, same days.

Ahhhh...PGB.
Still got a hard-on for me ?
Not PGB!

ok, just a straight question for you, does he do his pumps every game or just when you win? i dont think i saw him do any pumps at tannadice last time you came through.
Ehhh??! How many football managers do you know that celebrate defeat with their fans? I have seen some daft comments on here but that probably beats most of them.
-
Not even remotely worth it!
Yup.
I feel no sympathy for folk who do those kind of things.
They either have money to burn or are just completely thick.
Just interested by the above. What price would you make Bayern Munich on a semi neutral ground v Shakthar?
-
To play Devils advocate....
I can understand them being concerned for their safety. It wasn't long ago that folk were attempting to burst in the main door at Ibrox (hearts game) to get at the folk inside.
That's not to in anyway excuse their shambolic stewardship of Rangers.
Regarding the Hearts game, from the video clips I saw, it was the mob mentality outside, lets get the fvckers, burn the witch etc etc. And then when they few did get inside past the 80 year old commissionaire they.......well they jumped about a wee bit, took some pics with a flag and shouted a few things....and then left. In short, they didn't know WTF to do when they were actually there so I would have said the actual threat to Ashley. Easdales etc's well being, both there, and at an EGM, isn't that much IMO. While they are all angry at the running of the club, its doubtful any of them would do time for assaulting any of the board.

I have said all there is to say on this but have to reply here. I asked other posters to show me clubs that have been successful on the pitch with boardroom chaos going on and I will ask you the same. To try to sweep boardroom chaos under the carpet as nothing to do with pitch matters is just bull. Point in fact - look at Coventry City in England who have similar things going on - in the space of a decade they have gone from a long established top flight club to one struggling to now avoid relegation to the bottom tier. Leeds are similar and there are many more instances.
People here have used McCoist somehow failing (when he has achieved all he could in getting them into a position of pushing for promotion back to the SPL in the fastest timescale possible) as an excuse to question Smith's having a say in the selection of Wotte's replacement. Listen I was friggin' livid when he quit Scotland but it doesn't cloud my judgement in thinking he is one of the most-respected and experienced names in the game in Scotland so is ideal to sit in on these sorts of decision making and in any case it is not him alone as Strachan and his coaching team also have their input.
I have no real interest in clubs with boardroom issues, Smith, McCoist or our next performance director. I was just stunned to read such a factually and grammatically incorrect post being made on here without anyone taking it to task. Standards have dropped.
Is English your second language by any chance? You don't seem to be able to understand the definition of anarchy and you think that divisions of people within an establishment are cliches and fractions, not cliques and factions. You also think that a clubs boardroom p!ssing off the fans means the fans alienate themselves. If however you are a foreigner to these lands I take it all back as your basic grasp of the English language is undoubtedly better than mines would be of whatever you native language is.
-
Eh?
I was agreeing with your "rocket" comment. You rocket!
-
A stable boardroom helps a great deal and Rangers are a club in anarchy - there is no hiding from that. Boardroom riddled with in-fighting and fractions and people with their own cliches and agendas, fans alienating themselves from the club and continued financial uncertainty is NOT condusive to putting any great form together on the pitch with so much going on in players heads.
Jeezo, that was horrific.
1. If anything Rangers are a dictatorship under Ashley's control at the moment, couldn't be further from anarchy if they tried.
2. See point 1 in relation to the "boardroom in-fighting".
3. You have thrown around more "cliches" in this thread than a tabloid journo, and not even fractions of cliches, whole big whopping ones.
4. The club are alienating the fans, the fans aren't alienating themselves.
Don't think I have read a more bagoshite comment on this forum ever. And thats saying something. Its like it was originally written in a foreign language and then fired through Google Translate 4 or 5 times.

No idea how good McClair would be, but he can't possibly be anywhere near as much of a rocket as Wotte is.
Word!

I have had a couple of the XBMC boxes (an Ouya console and another one, name escapes me) but have never found them really worthwhile sacking off Sky for.
Most of the movies and TV shows are off good quality - if you can find good sources. All they do is stream movies and shows uploaded to a variety of file sharing sites. I was getting pee'd off taking 10 goes to find one site that actually had the files accessible however.
Sports, or football, was a complete waste of time for me. They are again just versions of the various internet streams that many people watch. They suffer against the quality of movies/tv because movies/tv can be uploaded and then watched at your convenience. The sports are happening in real time so something somewhere has to get a feed in the first place, and then keep it online, and then stream it out and you then have to hook into that stream. On the handful of occasions I watched, usually for no more than 10 mins, the feeds could be patchy and the actual quality was v poor. I am sure they would be fine watched in a wee screen on your laptop or desktop monitor but taking that same "quality" and then sticking it on any TV that is 40" and up, well its like watching games underwater.
End of the day I just went back to newsgroups for TV and movies, a NAS drive, Sickbeard and SAB and leave my PC on at night and all my TV is there waiting for me in the morning.

we will always have to sell McTeeko, but the timing of these two is a bit much.
I think that's really the only gripe and also probably mainly relates to the Armstrong deal. Getting cash, of sorts, for GMS now as opposed to nothing in the summer, probably makes financial sense. Armstrong would have went for as much in the summer as now no doubt and you don't need the money so its a bvgger to lose him.

Ohh he was, and much more. The Madrid derby's with him noising up Ramos and Pepe were the usual highlight of his mentalness. I am sure the pair of them were scared of him, he used to just go for them from the start. Also have a Google, you will be able to see clips of him gobbing on Ramos a couple of times in one game. An absolute nutjob.
