StJ needing to pull their socks up a big bit...

And as much as I might have had issues with the league leaders (as one of the OF) I am pleased that they will break the strangle-hold of the other half of the Ugly Sisters in no uncertain terms. Of course another upside if the Blue Weegies eventually win the league by a clear 20+ pts over the Green Weegies, is that that gap is unlikely ever to be repeated - and so this year will be the Blue Weegie high point :)

Heard a major rant in talksport the other day about the actions on opposite sides of the scale of the two main Glasgow teams and how they appear to the public eye

Celtic - the main squad has a little trip to Dubai during the height of the pandemic whilst they then go and put the entire youth squad on furlough claiming from the government

Rangers - offer up use of their stadium and facilities for use for vaccine centres


Looking on the outside one club is having a PR nightmare and the other a blinder

They do not act independent of each other.

That said the Celtic situation is pretty scandalous - that Rangers subsequently play all goody-two-shoes and community-minded is quite funny (as well as admirable) - but they do so of course in the context of Celtic being set up by Brother Walfrid as a community club :)

Absolutely scandalous. No football team should be putting any staff on Furlough whilst paying millions to their pampered 'stars'. Icing on the cake was spending 200k on a trip to Dubai. The government should refuse and tell them they need to find the money from their own budgets.

Sell couple of players

In fact sell the sound system they installed at Celtic park a few years ago at a cost of a couple of million. That'll pay the wages.

How much worse can it get for celtic its a rocky road they have been on for sure and they just keep falling behind Rangers, things ain't that good behind the scenes either as they go from one PR disaster to another. As much as Rangers have dominated the league this season and given their success in Europe celtic just keep getting worse and worse, where do celtic go from here ?

Something doesn't feel right with all these goings on, Hampden rescinding recently made decisions against Kilmarnock and St Mirren, I smell a rat :eek:

Bill...thought the original decisions against Killie and St.Mirren were wrong in the 1st place and have now been corrected(dont know about smelling a rat though?)
However The Maryhill Magyars have been dumped on from a great height by the idiots at SFA/SPFL + just my opinion but there does seem to be a distinct lack of common sense coming out of the 6th floor at Hampden as regards the way things are, or, in fact have ever been!
Anyway ---best goal scored in Scotland?what about Zidane-Euro Cup Final at Hampden;Davie Cooper-1979 Dryburgh Cup Final?(various others but slightly blinkered vision),

I'll take that result against a much improved Motherwell team,not enough from us attacking wise but the Steelmen were quick to crowd us out when we got near the 18yard box.
Don't see this Motherwell team going down(Alexander on radio saying thought our goal was a touch offside?Eh?Get real son!)

That the one where Cooper played keepie-up in the Celtic box? What a goal that was...

Anyway - I nominate Eamonn Bannon for Dundee Utd in their 5-0 home leg trouncing of Borussia Munchengladbach in the 2nd Rnd of the 1981/82 UEFA cup.

When checking the date I spotted that I'd forgotten that they went on to beat Genk 5-0 in the home leg of the 3rd Round. What a great team.
