"Don’t anybody start talking about morals, because we don’t have any in football" - the rolling Scottish football thread, season 2014/15

Max Power used to have his own segment on Soccer AM based solely on his awesome name.

Max Power and Arm Strong. I like the sound of this new pumped up midfield. Chapman will need to change his name.

Celtic have been drawn against Inter Milan in the last 32 of the Europa League

ach well it was a good* run :(

*mostly shite with some good goalkeeping

More of a stumble than a run.

a visual representation of celtic's inevitable 2014-15 europa league triumph:

^ better running technique than James Forrest

Hibs were 21/10 to beat rangers. Bookies clearly been at the port.

Yeah, free money in time for New Year. Cheers, bookies!

I have been on a train since ten to three, I assume Celtic were as abject as my twitter feed suggests?

Yes, and unfortunately for me this was my One Celtic Game of the Year too.

I'm massively surprised (not surprised at all) that the usually very vocal Arabs on my Facebook feed have been very quiet this weekend. Can't think why.

Seen this doing the rounds on twitter earlier, made me chuckle

massive blow for accies if neil goes

Yeah, been pleasantly surprised at how well he has them playing.

Got my tickets for the League Cup New Firm derby

Also when you phone Tannadice the menu options are read out by Sean Dillon :)

Is that meant to encourage you? :-)

Yes, and it does

Not exactly overwhelmed by the arrival of Henri Anier tho

Piss poor game yesterday, not helped by a joke of a pitch.

Rangers (or "Rangers" if you prefer) by far the worst team we've played all season - that they're patting themselves on the back for not getting humped 6-0 and thinking leaving an elbow or a stud in second half makes them competitive says it all.

Also can't believe (actually of course I can) the media and pundits are saying that clown of a ref Thompson had a good game. When you've got referees denying clear goal scoring opportunities there's something wrong with your game.

Refereeing was abysmal.

Refereeing was utterly Collum-like in its completely comical ineptitude. Did any pundits really say it was good? Am I right in saying that Leigh Griffiths was booked for celebrating his goal, yet neither McCulloch nor Black were booked for elbowing and kicking?

I'm *still* baffled at that Guidetti thing near the end where he ended up on his arse surrounded by defenders and managed to concede a free kick.

Mackay-Steven and Armstrong apparently having medicals and will sign for Celtic tonight.
£2m is a fair chunk to fuck up your opponent's league cup final team.

You are the ref. Who gets the free kick?

Which ref am I?

dunno, what's your lodge number?

Ah, I'm not a ref. Can't answer then, sorry!

Easier one

a) red card
b) yellow card
c) quiet word
d) blind eye and a drink at your member's club of choice?

Griffiths clearly asking for it. Ten match ban for Neil Lennon.

Am I hired?

One more question: wit school did ye go tae?

:-)

Quite enjoying the wee videos of Ronny Deila gieing it laldy in the pub in Erskine that are doing the rounds just now. Didn't realise he was living round here (two seconds of judicious googling and I now know where he lives).

He's very shiny.

i slept through the Celtic v Rangers game. it was case of badly set mobile phone alarm rather than the game being so bad that it induced somnolence, although it was pretty dire from what i watched later. had really wished that the fixture wouldn't happen this season, and that rangers don't get promoted this season - which hopefully is still on the cards. it's a nothing game now, rangers are irrelevant.

I am seeking comfort in the fact that they're so pish that it won't happen again this season because they surely can't make it past another round of the Scottish Cup. Five cloggers, five guys from Newcastle that HAVE to go in the team, plus a goalie (I genuinely thought Cammy Bell was their goalie until Sunday and yon Simonson chump turned up. Turns out Bell's been injured forever), surely Raith are better than that (I only know who they're playing because BBC had an advert on straight after Sunday's snoozefest advertising Sevco v Raith as their live TV game. Honestly? That's the best game they could get? They're at home, ffs, so it's not like they're catering for the millions of not-walking-awayerers who couldn't get tickets.)

Actually, I've just looked at the fixtures. Slim pickings there, but would honestly rather watch Partick v ICT or QotS v St Johnstone. Spartans v Berwick would probably be more enticing, tbh.

To be honest, the rovers have been awful against them this season. I wouldn't hold out any hope that things will be better this time around.

just a yellow, according to the linesman

lol

It's good we create 20 chances every game, we need them.

Ian Crocker pronounces Bitton's name in a way that makes it sound like he's saying Pete Tong. It's very disconcerting.

we lost a goal - first time in living memory (weeks)

I know. And I am instantly jittery and irrationally worried. Deila out! (not really, I've kind of warmed to the guy now)

cracking double save from Gordon

great result tonight, wish I'd seen it

It was some game. I was watching it on a dubious Brazilian stream. Their commentators are way cheerier than the BT chumps.

Deila can stay, btw.

lol

My cynical heart has melted at Jay Beatty getting 97% of the vote for Goal of the Month. Well done to Hamilton for letting him do it - a nice touch and I think the thread title's just a wee bit wrong right now. Also <3 to Sami taking time out to do a wee congratulations video for him.
