Hibs losing
Garner scores for Ipswich
The Lurking Tim, there was a tweet on etims twitter a few weeks ago saying since the 2001/02 , 168 players who have went through our academy , have went on to have played a minimum of two seasons in senior football.
I forgot Liam Henderson was on our bench today , so ten of the thirty six players in today’s squads at Rugby Park came through our academy
Liam will have a good pro career but don’t think it will be for us – hope I’m wrong
Must be getting near penalty time at ipox
Hibs 2 down
How does the Sevco game appear on YouTube yet ours don’t?
BTW it’s rank. 0-0 after 60 odd minutes. 1 shot on goal so far.
For anyone brave or sick enough

Enjoyed watching us today. Normally I’d be worried about so many young players coming in but they all did very well and Benyu stood out for me as it was the first time I had a good look at him play.
Kilmarnock were poor tbh but that shouldn’t take away from a very professional performance from the young Bhoys.
Roll on Tuesday. Game is in TV3 & BT Sport in Ireland.
diet huns being hemmed in, the honest mistake is coming
“Don’t be disrespectful ”
Brendan’s correct and succinct response a year ago.
I thought his team selection was exactly that.
In my opinion,we have a superb manager,but I was far from happy with what I saw today.
INVINCIBLE ‘GG
Dross & Drosser, just watched 15 mins..
Brain numbing fitbaw…
Celtic streets ahead of these two mid division hoofers…
ALMORE
I thought Benyu was having a mare. So did my company.
I didn’t want him to,but howler for me.
Interesting piece from Johnny Giles in yesterday’s Irish Independent & Evening Herald:
At this time of the year when Celtic run their annual Champions League gauntlet, it is always worthwhile to tip the hat and acknowledge a job well done.
I’m not talking about Brendan Rodgers or the players who put Astana to the sword in midweek and allowed the club to make plans for the £30m they can expect to bank from the Group phase games they now look certain to qualify for.
I’m talking about the way club runs its business.
Celtic have been a model of professionalism judged against the obvious ready reckoner Rangers provide and are doing as well as they could possibly be doing in the unique circumstances of the Old Firm and Scottish football.
In the broader context provided by the Champions League in midweek, there was a comparison to be made with Liverpool but it is a difficult one because of the chasm between the two clubs in terms of financing.
Jurgen Klopp’s big worry all summer has been that his employers would sell his best player Philippe Coutinho to Barcelona for well over £100m.
Liverpool can bank on £150m plus from the Premier League every season.
Brendan Rodgers, who had to deal with the same transfer committee Klopp is now beholden to and ultimately the same bitter reality that in the modern football world, Liverpool is a selling club, must make do with a small fraction of the Anfield budget at Celtic Park.
The Premier League is a world away and it is all too easy to be patronising towards plucky Celtic and pat them on the head as something of a Champions League novelty act because of this.
But in the real world, in the day-to-day work of a football club, I’ll bet Rodgers is feeling much more secure in his environment than Klopp right now and enjoying the confidence you get from being the biggest fish.
I’ll bet Mauricio Pochettino is having sleepless nights about Dele Alli and is, like me, struggling to square the logic Daniel Levy is applying when he values Alli at somewhere north of £150m but pays him wages an average player at most big clubs would eye with disdain
These are ‘first world’ problems for Spurs and Liverpool fans who can’t be sure what they will wake up to in the next few weeks.
I’ll bet that Celtic fans go to work with a smile on their face, loving this spell of total SPL dominance while their counterparts on the Kop wonder will they ever win anything significant again.
I doubt Celtic fans waste any time pondering the notion that it would all be so much better for themif someone waved a magic wand and gave the club a Premier League golden ticket.
I can guarantee you that nobody who supports the green side of Glasgow was engaged in a deep discussion about the Premier League when Scott Brown lifted the SPL trophy over his head in April.
All the fans were thinking about was another title win and even better, in a season during which Rangers’ ongoing crisis deepened.
I always laugh when I hear people claiming wisely that Celtic fans, in their heart of hearts, would like to see Rangers back as a strong rival in the SPL. Anyone who ever talks like that knows nothing about football fans.
Perhaps there’s a few lads in suits at Parkhead who count numbers and would fancy a keener edge to the biggest derby rivalry of them all based on the premise that it might generate a few more quid.
But because Dermot Desmond’s careful stewardship of the Celtic brand has kept the club out of the red, Celtic supporters can afford to be smug, and who could blame them?
They have Rangers exactly where they want them. All things being equal, they have big European nights to look forward to up until the New Year, they will win almost every league game this season. Perhaps there are some among this happy crowd who are not satisfied and long for a day when Celtic are duking it out with Liverpool and Manchester United for the Premier League title.
In the current landscape of European football, that will never happen but imagine if the Old Firm had been allowed in ten years ago. Where would Rangers be now, never mind Celtic?
It’s been a struggle for Rangers to haul themselves back from demotion to the wilds of the Scottish lower divisions but think for a moment how much harder it would be if the punishments imposed for gross mismanagement of the club had happened in a Premier League context.
It’s a long, long way back from League Two.

BMCUWP: I didn’t mean that he was outstanding. But as someone who has come here as a ‘project’ and is only finding his feet at the club I was impressed with his work rate and attitude.
4th Official gets the injury time board out and it says….
UNTIL WE SCORE
Missed the game today did everyone get off the rubber pitch in one piece??
BMCUW
What was `disrespectful` about Brendan selecting a team that won comfortably whilst utilising his squad?
JJ
ALMORE
My criticism wasn’t so much at individuals,most of whom had barely played together
It was that they played together
Looks like a Top of the table clash next week against St Johnstone. We, of course, will have travelled thousand of miles during the week whilst the Saints have the full week to prepare for the game. I feel that is an important factor in Brendan`s thinking re today`s team selection.
JJ
HOTSMOKED
Players need introduced to the team. One or two at a time,that’s how it’s always worked.
Even in the Quality Street days,bit at a time.
BR threw too many in,IMO. And I wasn’t happy with that
Hunco 0-0 FT
Derek Ferguson nearly greetin on BBC1
Sevco…aye right ye are:))))
Hearts could get relegated this season:))
Jog on Budgie:))
Hamilton Academicals start the season better than Park’s Of Hamilton hee hee
Another nail in Pedro’s coffin.
So our ‘rivals’ are already 5 points behind us after 3 games. Meanwhile in the real world Aberdeen are doing their best to keep pace with the Champions.
Bless me father for I have sinned.
That was pure torture watching two inept teams.
Hearts playing for throw ins.
Huns playing for high punts.
Hearts keeper spent most of his day climbing over his defenders to take crosses, corners in the air.
Well for the last 15 or 20 minutes I watched.
Pedro doing a wonderful job.
Seriously, sevco are totally tragic
Hibs blow it! Pity, would like to see them challenge for second.
Dons look steely., winning despite being outplayed in the second half.
Saints will fade, but not be disgraced.
Sevco well placed to challenge for third.
Killie look dreadful, and I reckon they must be faves for the drop.
THE GREEN MAN SAYS SACK THE BOARD on 19TH AUGUST 2017 4:57 PM
Seriously, sevco are totally tragic

Aint it marvellous :)))
Watched last ten minutes of Soft Loans Co. v Mini Huns. Ref added four minutes of injury time. With the game scoreless at 93’34” Hun commentator announces hopefully “thirty seconds left plus stoppage time”.
Haven’t they suffered enough?
Managed 20 mins or so of the huns game, jezo they are brutal, Pedro must stay.
TTR
I didnt think it was possible to be as bad as that, they are howling:)
HH
Sevco holding on to 6th due to their “superior” goal difference of
ZERO
Followed that YouTube link to mordor (I feel a bit grubby) Candyass looks slightly better than McKay. The rest? No idea.
Hearts need a proper manager.
The peeple are not happy.
Expect Pedro to utter a few WATP’s and No Surrenders in the post match interview.
Greasy c##t thinks we’re buttoned up the back.
The huns think they have a good defense.
Only if you punt high hopeful crosses.
They can’t tackle.
Any team that runs at them with pace will expose how poor they are.
Hun tv commentator is a total hoot.
Claiming imaginary fouls for and seeing none against.
His constant pleading for opponents to be booked or sent off is undignified.
Calvin Miller was terrific today and…
The Sevs are shoite :-)
