  1. Way too much flak going Southgate's way but he had to go, one way or another. Keeping him on would have been rewarding failure. The players have to take some of the flak. Pickford hoofing the ball long continuously was just retarded, no top sides ever go down that road. How many times did the Spain keeper go long-none. Its like saying I dont trust the boys in front of me. And why did the like of Rice never show for a pass from keeper? and that set the tone. Severe lack of leadership amongst some senior pros. Can blame game plan, but as the game develops, leaders lead on the park.
  2. Come on Scotland, a win tonight and they go to next round, extend party for outstanding fans.
  3. Trophy day at Paradise today, what an occasion, would love to be there. Glasgow will be green and white today Hail hail.
  4. Absolutely love the way big Ange takes no crap from the gutter press reporters, was the same in Scotland
  5. Half way into the season and a tad underwhelmed, despite last few positive results. CL and League cup tame exits, dropping too many points to teams that we should be scudding. Mainly due to a shambolic transfer window-9 players in and none have grabbed their chance, Bernardo showing quality lately. We spend 7M on 2 center halfs only to deem Scales and Welsh better options. WTF? Jota not replaced, despite Palma making an initial impact, he has looked bang ordinary lately. Mooy replaced with Bernardo, who is looking the part lately, suspect if he continues this form, that 6M fee will be a no brainer. Scales has done himself proud with his displays so far, so not a downgrade on Starfelt. Overall, we are reasonably well sorted at center half. Our midfield is functioning reasonably well and with 3 out of Cal, Reo, Bernardo and the outstanding Matt, we should be fine till next transfer window, as long as, God forbid, we don't sell any of them. Both full backs have regressed under the BR system, Benny looks well out of the picture. Big Joe is just hanging in there, should be adequate till seasons end-always risky to change keeper mid season but need an upgrade. Up top, Yang and Palma have shown flashes, both young. Abada back will be a massive positive and should see Maeda return to the left, looks all at sea recently, suspect a tad rusty and having to play RW. Kyogo frustrates me, does so little during game and then nicks a goal, OH not clinical enough. If we bring in the proper players this window, we will win the league. If we dick around with young, midget, projects, kiss bye bye to CL coin. We need to bring in a few proven players that will have an instant impact. A striker and LB are priority, keeper can wait till next window. I say this every window, but shifting the deadwood non contributors will be the biggest challenge, as there are about a dozen. A set piece coach also, we continue to be so poor at set pieces both ends, there was a game a few weeks ago we had 23 corners and apart from one Scales header, threatened zero.
  6. A poor performance at Fir park masked over by end result and other results. We were at nothing for most of the game, failing to test keeper, Bain dug us out with a few decent stops with his feet and then all hell breaks loose in the last 10 min. Unbelievable last few minutes, total snatch and grab job. Fair play to the boys for keeping at it, when it looked a done deal at 1-1. Phillips got some badly need game time, looked rusty but we need a big performance from him mid week, with Lager suspended, we are down to bare bones center half wise. Big test mid week with the Romans coming to town.
  7. Reading between the lines, you have pissed them off and this is their way of getting back at you-and maybe even trying to extract some coin from you. Insinuating that they dont know what they are doing, getting mad at them and the cardinal sin of bringing your wife, suspect she may also have said something sarcastically to them in Thai. I just dont understand why people bring their wife with them to do retirement visa, the officers speak good English and I know for a fact, it pisses them right off too. Just be careful, they may try stitch you up, make sure your ducks are in a row.
  8. Another poor result on out CL travels again. At the end of the day, we were lucky to get away with 2 goal defeat, considering we were 2 men down. The big Sweed a tad unlucky with his 2 yellows but braindead from Holm. Make no mistake, they were there for the taking. We actually went toe to toe with them first half, without creating too much, just got caught with a stupid goal at end of first half, half arsed wall, Joe too slow getting down. Second half was just damage limitation due to red cards. Scales, AJ, Maeda and Matt all done well.
  9. How was the application process, compared with say retirement visa?
  10. OK, so that 60 day tourist visa with the extension sounds good. How do I go about getting that 60 day tourist visa?
  11. So have flights booked for December, staying for 65 days. Whats best visa options?
  12. Yes indeed, fantastic result, must say, I would have been happy with a draw before KO, given that we were fielding fourth and fifth choice center half's and the influential Hatate was also out. But luckily for us, we were up against a one trick pony team, just kept lumping up high balls. It was such an uplifting result, given our recent poor form and an underwhelming transfer window. I believe that right now, if all fit, our starting 11 is a tad weaker than last seasons. We got 25M for one of our star players, Jota and spent around 17M on 9 players. Must say, really impressed with what little I have seen of Holm and Yang.
  13. Any recommendations for agent in Pattaya-and cost?
  14. Do you need to present the actual bank book or does bank letter and copies of updated bank book do?
  15. Awesome flag day at Celtic Park yesterday. With all 3 domestic trophies on display, club legend James Forrest had the honor of raising the flag, and then we started the second coming of the Brendan era with a win against a gallant Ross County who came and had a pop. Our squad is similar strength as last season, we are still carrying way too much deadwood. The new Center back looked really good carrying the ball out from the back. Too soon to comment on the other 4 guys we signed. Also big breve call for BR to start Turnbull over Reo but guess it was based on pre season form. Bit of uncertainty over Starfelt and Reo, if they are unhappy, punt. Joe Hart is a done deal for me, been in decline now for past 8 months, gives me the fear bigtime now, not claiming bread and butter crosses, poor with ball at feet and shot stopping now average. needs replacing ASAP. Left back is another area we need to upgrade, GT decent squad player but we need better.
