  1. Like other Sky subscribers, I received a letter a while ago informing me that my monthly subscription was increasing by about another 3 quid a month so that they could continue showing Champions League and Spanish football. Now they have neither, I look forward to this cost going back down again...

    Come the end of the qualifiers I'm probably going to cancel my sky sports subscription. Only really got it for Scotland away games, Rangers away games and champs league.

    Now champions league is on BT sports and hardly any rangers games are on sky sports seems like the perfect time to save my self like 15 quid a month

  2. I think the drink spiking thing is a bit of an urban myth. Admittedly when I've been in places where there is lots of drugs most people are out their faces anyway so it would be pointless.

    2 years is a shocking decision

    It does happen, I got spiked a few years ago with a hallucinogenic. It was my first night out in a while after recovering from pancreatitus (destroyed my liver and kidneys, I didn't get it sorted quick enough), I was just on the energy drink and was chatting to a girl in a club and when I went a way from her my mate said she was laughing with some guy. I thought nothing off it... Later on from what I was told happened (as I didn't remember much). In the club I thought my mates where a three headed monster trying to eat me, in the taxi I was stroking the drivers face saying how soft and beautiful his skin was, at home I was screaming that my dog was the devil and to get her our.

    All in all not a pleasant experience lol

  3. In our back 2 he's the dependable one. Kiernan is questionable at best.

    I'm not fully convinced by either but I think the way we play has a lot to do with them looking out of position and being caught out a lot. We play high pressing with our fullbacks like wingers.

    We do really need to strengthen at the back come January. An injury to Wallace and Wilson and then we have Ball at CB and maybe Aird at Lb with no back ups

  4. Regarding Marshall, should have done better at second but no worse than Neuer at other end for our first. No chance with deflection on first, third in of inside of post so again hard to blame. The couple that were fired in right at him he coped well with. Wouldn't exactly have him classed as ropey on based on that.

    For me while Marshall was poor with his save. The shot should never have happened as Maloney should have been out there covering when Mulgrew dropped into help Martin and Hanley. If Anya had started that's where he would have been, we saw how Anya would cover Mulgrew and Robeston at Lb during the Georgia game.

  5. From the BBC Football Gossip section today, I know the thought of playing for Ra Sellick is not up there with Real Madrid, but I thought Michu was a bit over the top with his reaction.

    "Celtic were told signing target Michu was considering ending his career when they asked about the availability of the 29-year-old Spain international. (Daily Express)"

    Former Celtic defender Jason Denayer says he signed on loan for Turkish side Galatasaray because their fans remind him of Celtic supporters. (Sun - print edition)

    It's really not been a good few days for Celtic on there lol

  6. The reasons why I wouldn't start Maloney and Anya against Georgia.

    Anya - Georgia will box out Anya and they will do the same to him as they did at ibrox. Where as bringing him on with 30 minutes to go will see him fresh and coming up against tiring legs. It also gives Russell a chance and he has been in great form.

    Maloney - Given the insane amount of traveling he'll be doing there is no way he'll be able to complete 2 games in 4 days at 100%. It will also give Armstrong a chance and like Russell he deserves it.

    The Rest.

    Probably resting Brown isn't a great idea, but given how much much Morrison and D.Fletcher have played together you'd think they'd have a better understanding than Brown and Morrison.

    Naismith has barely played while Ritchie is in great form.

    S.Fletcher is in poor form while Griffiths is in great form

  7. Against Georgia

    Gordon

    Whittaker R.Martin Mulgrew Robertson

    D.Fletcher Morrison

    Ritchie Armstrong Russell

    Griffiths

    Rest Maloney and Anya (Brown also) for Germany but if the game is a dud and we need a goal, bring them on at half time or with 30 to go.

    Against Germany

    Marshall or Gordon

    Whittaker R.Martin Mulgrew Robertson

    Brown Morrison

    Maloney Naismith Anya

    S. Fletcher

    If Griffiths, Armstrong or the others have a great game against Georgia, I wouldn't be opposed to them starting against Germany.

  8. Billy Big Time who was too big for his boots but has now realised he made a James Hunt of himself in the past. So, now comes crawling. Get him tae!

    How exactly has he come crawling? He never said he didn't want to be called up, it was media speculation that people took as gospel

  9. Whilst that may be true. Playing every week against League One opposition...

    Yeah because playing first team football fir hibs in the Scottish championship is much better than playing for Fleetwood in league 1?

  10. Rumours of Denayer back to Celtic are re-surfacing - even more so since City signed another Centre Half this morning.

    They really need a CB as Boyata is brutal.

    Did celtic do their scouting on Boyata through FM 11 when he used to turn in to one of the best defenders in the game.

    If they lose van dijk and don't replace him with someone with a bit of pace and technique to help cover for boyatas cock-ups, then they are going to have a very long and hard season. They will drop a lot of points and I can see (as much as it pains me to say it) Aberdeen putting up a good challenge for the the title this season.

  11. Ryan Jack is approximately 7000 time better than Scott Allan. Hence why Ryan Jack will captain his side in the Europa League tomorrow, while Allan's last game he was a sub in the Petrofac Training Cup.

    I forget, how many Scotland caps does Ryan Jack have again?

  12. Every year Watford sign loads of players. They basically get the cast offs of udinese and the Spanish team that are owned under the same people.

    They usually get who isn't good enough or maybe a younger player who hasn't quite made it. They also get the free transfers udinese would sign but aren't quite sure about.

    They don't often spend much

  13. You have to wonder how he can vilify the British army for the taking of innocent lives (which is a fair point), yet post pro IRA songs (before being banned from twitter) and wearing IRA badges. The lad is either a hypocrite or a bigot.

    Also does anyone know if he turned his back when Ireland played England or in any cup finals or play offs? Maybe he did it this time because he thought he could get away with it
