Brand new modern fitba 2018-19 thread!! SEE YOU!!

Napoli are a bloody good side though. It was always going to be tough. Salah had a bit of a 'mare, hopefully he gets out of the slump soon.
I get the feeling it will all turn around for him in one game where everything clicks again, and he'll kick on from there.

 

After all 4 clubs, the police and scotrail each denying they'd ever been consulted and essentially calling the spfl idiots Celtic-hearts' been moved to Murrayfield at 1.30 and I'm happy with that. Wee mid morning train to Edinburgh, a few porters, home by 6, much more civilised schedule for a school night. Should get close to a 67k sell out for that

 

Rakatic's volley last night ooooooooooooooooft. Goal of the season so far

 

Brilliant volley for sure

 

When you leave Glesga do people understand you?

 

I never met an edinburger who didn't understand a good slap in the mouth or a slug from a 45

 

1-0 shellik. Unlikely to last

 

Salzburg with their half empty 30k stadium in the shadow of some sound of music location....how are this lot better than us exactly?

 

Their owners

 

Fucksake, a full season of go-nowhere sideways passes and now we can't complete one to save our lives. Luckily Salzburg's much vaunted attack creating little with all their possession

 

Griff doesnae cut it in a scenario like this, nothing sticks and his one touch play is rotten. Get rogic on, play him up high

 

So close

 

He has the touch of an elephant whose foot fell asleep

 

Right I need steak and beer and some deep breathing.

 

Reminds me of BVB player from about 5 years back or so. Julian Schieber. The guy is supposed to be a centre forward but missed sitters that someone with a broken leg would have put away. It happens to even the best but when it's your main job you kind of expect a slightly better output.

 

Right

Griffiths shoots well and heads well but he's useless to hold up play because his first touch sends the ball a mile away from him ... the time he needs is only available against weak opponents... at this level it doesn't exist

 

AgREED. In fact, one step further - the touch of an elephant whose foot fell asleep and the face of the elephant man shocked wide awake.

 

He's not an attractive man. I won't deny that.

 

Second half under way... the two sides grimly determined to give each other a right proper soccering

 

Well that's overdue

 

Sinclair on for Griffiths

 

Scott "Don't call me Upton" Sinclair

 

Ugh

Red Bull energy fuckface fake team smashing us

 

Well deserved. Frankly we're shite, weak links all over the shop, literally only tierney & possibly boyata European class. Lawwell fuck off, scouting staff fuck off.

 

We're awful

 

Oh yas, Ryan Christie. That'll turn things around.

 

We had a wee chance last summer after Rodgers first season to roll the dice and push on. Instead we cashed out. Let's see how the profit margin looks when Rodgers leaves and 15k people say fuck your season ticket next summer

 

but will they?

 

I'm not sure. A lot of us are just daft
