Scottish football on solid ground

1313

Any away win by a Scottish club in the Netherlands is noteworthy but Aberdeen’s win last night is even more significant. It is a sign that a recovery is underway in one of Scottish football’s perennial underachievers. St Johnstone’s result is more of the same after last year’s achievements. Motherwell’s sorry exit is a lesson on being unprepared….

If Celtic can reach the Champions League group stage for the third successive season, there’s reason to believe our game is on solid ground after the years of excess and abandon.

    We seem to take the bull dozer approach.

     

     

    Wanting to Hoover up trophies rather than generate the 2 first team players we should be producing from every age group.

     

     

    Are we taking the wrong approach?

    What is the point of this game? I thought we would play our main side.

     

     

    *some on here were female duggin about playing the 1st team squad between CL games.

  3. Twardzik poor again giving away FK in a dangerous position. Came to nothing, luckily for him.

  4. St Pauli nearly double their lead……………The Rekord dust off the crisis logos….

  5. Tontine, It would have been madness to fly out our first team squad and then home and back out to Poland in the space of a few days.

    I`d hate to see F.F. go.

     

    I really would.

  7. Not wanting to be too negative but we have some wa’rmers wearing the jersey today.

     

    Complete lack of nous, intensity and football intelligence.

     

     

    The whole right flank wouldn’t get a game in the Juniors.

     

     

    PS

     

    Hopefully a bit o reverse psychology will get them going …

    Too much competition for the loan striker ….only in numbers not quality

     

     

    We have some mediocre strikers and some poor ones

     

     

    Watt is as good if not better than the others

  9. ....PFayr supports WeeOscar on

    OT

     

     

    I backed it three weeks ago

     

     

    Won at 5/1 in a poor race

     

     

    Won well …I was on Dettori

    Madmitch. ‘Not wanting to be too negative. ‘

     

     

    Quote of the day from your good self Mad.

  11. Tricoloured Ribbon on

    Henderson’s determination to do well very evident.

     

    Great shot by Watt well saved.

  12. TheOriginalSadiesBhoy on

    Great pass from McGeough and run and shot ( from right) from Tony Watt. Saved by goalie.

  13. phenomenal run and shot from “Kid Cannonball” Tony Watt……………. better Celtic!

    *I agree hence the Development Squad

  15. Does the team take it in turns to put themselves under pressure with some tippy tappy nonsense?
