2018– Tranent Juniors

fucking knew this was going to be an ian black related post ;_;

“The game has been good to me and I want to help Tranent achieve their vision, “I won’t be coming here to take my foot of the gas. I am hungry to be a success at 
Tranent. There’s no hiding place at your home club.”

“Ian is a local lad who has played at the highest level. He will go straight into the squad for our first game of 2018 at home to Dunbar on Saturday.” Tranent play in the McBookie East Premier League.

Currently sitting one place above my local Junior side in the league.

McBookie

They write themselves.

Tierney was brilliant in the wing back role tonight, like "this side is mine. Everyone else better stay the fuck away."

nice to celtic bouncing back after a bit of a lull. i like the look of big cha already.

Byeeee!!!

HEID

:(

I'm sure the forced early changes don't help but I have no fucking clue what system we're playing here and neither do the players.

Beaten again? Rodgers out!

Sadly Liam Miller has passed away. RIP

;_; RIP Liam.

very, very sad. 36 is no age.

i used to "hate" him.

Dreadful news. RIP.

Alex McLeish? FFS.

(about to get the Scotland gig again, according to reports)

Oh God no. We may as well give up.

... yes, I know, I thought we had...

And confirmed. Fucking hell.

pffft

“I’d saved the first shot and I looked up and saw the ball going to him,” said Bain. “I just thought, ‘aw naw’. Luckily he hit the post and I was able to scramble and catch the ball before it went over the line.

Aw naw indeed.

In hysterics at that miss.

Celtic goals were all really good. Our defence was a shambles at times. Ntcham had his best game in the hoops so far.

Good to see Murty's assertion that they will never have a better chance to beat us. Fingers crossed he's right.

Boyata, say no more, a manager like Mourinho would have subbed him after 15 minutes.

Morelos looking like a baw-faced toddler who'd dropped his lollipop added to the hilarity - mind you, he always looks like that.

Our defence is mince, both of their goals were howlers.

incredibly satisfying and important win though.

Still chuckling at that miss. Boyata gives me the screaming heebie-jeebies. Collum doing the "12th man" tradition proud, along with his comedy Tory sidekick with the flag.

i honestly couldnae believe the linesman, seems like he lost his head there and the mask slipped big time

Aye, think he forgot he wasn't in the stands.

Can't find it just now to link it, but the clips I've seen of the Rangers TV commentary is hilarious.

Fat footballer corner: Mark Yardley gets a street named after him:

(xp) Abercromby Avenue, nice one. McGarvey Mews would have had a nice ring to it. Of course, I'd have voted for my Uncle Jim if given the chance.

OBFA repealed

I'm not one to share Record stories but holy shit how bad is this?

https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/celtic-boss-brendan-rodgers-no-12196511

Away from home, gifted them 2 goals, played with ten men and a third choice keeper and we still score three amazing goals but Rodgers was lucky? This article is all ifs buts and bollocks.

While I'm here: still absolutely love that people call him Barry Fud.

I for one totally respect the managerial expertise of a man who couldn't get Clyde out of the bottom division

celtic's defensive frailty is a worry and rodger's has to be held responsible, but tactically he got everything right in that game. Fair enough the win was a bit spawny, what with the missed sitter. but say the missed sitter goes in. away from home, derby, coming from behind after shipping bad goals, surviving being down to 10 men for a half hour and getting a draw would've also been a good result tbh.

michty me "rodger's" lol

McLeish out.

The Championship Caledonian XI weren't up to much? Quelle surprise.

Here comes the new boss
Worse than the old boss

Began by upholding that fine old Scottish tradition of not picking Celtic players if you can possibly avoid it.

88' Substitution for Morton: Iredale OFF, Strapp ... erm ... ON.

If Hibs can keep it together then Rangers could well end up in 4th place, yaaaaaassssssssss!

celtic to win the treble
celtic to win the league against rangers
rangers to finish 4th

all of these things could happen

Lads

Fuck Hamilton's shitty pitch forever. Surely the one thing you're supposed to get with artificial turf is that it's at least flat.

Turns out the Rangers really are shite just as the song says. I honestly can't remember a more one sided game against them or their dead predecessors.

Hysterical that they and their fans cheered getting drawn against us.
