Treble Treble, Your Face is a Mess: Scottish Fitba 2018-19

[blameless]

I remember saying similar when he was Celtic manager - it's not okay for knuckle-draggers to threaten, abuse or assault Neil Lennon. But given that he knows well enough what these people are like, he really needs to stop noising them up.

[Ray de Galles]

I don't think that has been mentioned from last night's game yet ;

Man charged over Edinburgh derby assault on assistant referee

Gary Caldwell update: four games, four defeats, scored 1, conceded 8. He's taken us into the play-off placings all right, but the ones at the arse end of the table.

[CY_Boaby]

Yep, fair enough blameless, Gary Caldwell does appear to be a bit shit. Only 4 games gone though, so give him time. Is there now panic talk about getting it right when the January transfer window opens?

Meanwhile Dundee & St Mirren played out the most predictable draw of the year. The only surprise is that both teams scored. Can we not just relegate them both now? I'm hoping we don't panic buy in January in some pathetic attempt to stay up; instead plan for getting a team ready for a promotion campaign next season. Dundee on the other
hand might go mental & no doubt end up in administration.

International break means the Diddy Cup takes centre stage again this weekend as we reach the quarter-finals. We've already had the first tie as last night Welsh league-leaders, Connah's Quay Nomands, scored 2 late goals to beat Queens Park 2-1 at Hampden Park in front of 559 hardy souls. The live coverage on BBC Alba clearly kept the fans away. Today sees Edinburgh City host Alloa whilst Motherwell U21s are at home to Ross County.

The remaining tie between Bohemians and East Fife has been postponed until sometime in 2019, hopefully before the semis are due to be played. Why the delay? Well, the League of Ireland season finished a few weeks ago and apparently Bohs don't have enough registered players to complete this tie. Nobody at the SPFL saw this scenario coming, or if they did, probably hoped no League of Ireland team would make it this far in the competition. It's not called the Diddy Cup for nothing!

PARTICK THISTLE HAVE EARNED A POINT. I REPEAT, PARTICK THISTLE HAVE EARNED A POINT. DO NOT BE UNDULY ALARMED, BUT PLEASE REMAIN INDOORS WITH YOUR WINDOWS CLOSED. YOU WILL BE INFORMED WHEN THE SITUATION HAS BEEN DEALT WITH AND THE COAST IS CLEAR. THANK YOU FOR YOUR COOPERATION.

Not sure whether this is magnificent, or malodorous.

Afaik the whole thing was organised that way beforehand ,the quarter and the semi will be played within a couple of weeks of each other, East Fife should be happy because we've lost three centre backs and the best goalkeeper I've seen in the league of Ireland in years

Not sure whether this is magnificent, or malodorous.

The club game is probably healthier than it’s been in years. We just beat Israel. McKenna is Lunchtime McBooze so of course is the voice of Scotland in the fucking Observer.

[Satchmo Distel]

How did Rangers fuck up the Europa?

[Gangster Octopus]

Dunno, but it looks as though Arbroath've decided to concentrate on the league...

[ursus arctos]

Drawing at home with Spartak and Villarreal and losing in Moscow.

Though they can still qualify if they beat Rapid in Vienna.

Think Stevie G wants to go and knock Liverpool out?

Gary Caldwell introduces a new training regime for Thistle

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/46405477

FFS! I hope it improves the results

[Lang Spoon]

Welcome, morgol. What a load of bullshit macho crap from Caldwell. Sounds like the worst kind of “team building” business management shite. Not sure how getting hired killers to torture the players a bit will improve things.

[CY_Boaby]

Be interesting to see how Thistle get on down at Palmerston later today. The entire team's now knackered and psychologically shell shocked after being nothing more than a play thing for the SAS. One player tries to run for his life but suddenly has four trained killers man-handling him back to the hellhole, and I don't think Jack Storer will be too chuffed that everyone now knows that he was so petrified that he started crying.

Great result last night for Ayr Utd, hammering Dundee Utd 5-0 at Tannadice. Utd were on a good run, so was it just a blip or will they fall apart again like they did under Shabba?

[blameless]

I really have no idea why anybody at Thistle thought it was a good idea to hire this imbecile. No knowledge of the lower divisions in Scotland, and he'll cost us a fortune to get rid of once the board suss exactly how unsuited to the job he truly is.

This posturing bootcamp nonsense really is the crowning steamer on top of the cake.

[Satchmo Distel]

How will Rangers get near a game with Liverpool?

[Lang Spoon]

Well humiliating and traumatizing the players worked out well fer Gary so.

[blameless]

QOS 1 PTFC 0. Surprisingly, being put in fear for their safety wasn't the best preparation for the weekend's game. Who'd have guessed?

[Lang Spoon]

Will be nice playing youse in league one next year blameless after rovers inevitably fuck up the play offs. Which team will go bankrupt first?

[blameless]

Yep, years since I've been to San Starko. Hopefully my next visit is due to an unexpected turnaround for both teams rather than what looks like the inevitable conclusion to this horrible year and season (seriously, losing both Lambie and Davie Mac, relegation and Gary Caldwell? Fuck off, 2018).

[torres]

I stand corrected blameless. He truly is a really shit manager.

[BallochSonsFan]

Another home win for Dumbarton under Jim Duffy. Our away form has been complete bobbins but a solid 4-1 win over Brechin yesterday was great. Dom Thomas showed again why he's far too good for this league with a man of the match performance and we really didnt give Brechin anything but a consolation. They didnt really have many chances all game.

We need to start picking up points away from home if we're going to push for a play-off place but hopefully relegation won't be a consideration come May.

[CY_Boaby]

Whilst it would be nice if someone could finally stop celtic from hoovering up every domestic trophy, it's unlikely to be Aberdeen later today. Let's hope it's a decent final and not a one-sided procession for the blessed Brendan & co.
