  1. So looks like BR has settled on a first choice starting 11

    The starting 11 against Rangers, with KT and TR in for E.I and C.McG-and hard to argue, all have proved they can perform within his system.

    Maybe sometimes see Griffiths instead of MD and also Roberts may sometimes start instead of JF, great options to have. Christie may see more game time alternating with TR. He has potential, once he finds a bit of composure.

    One wonders what's going to happen with Roberts at end of season, cant see him getting a look in at City, at the same time, reckon City would want a sizable chunk of coin for him. I hope we can secure him permanently but difficult to see BR shelling out 5million plus for a squad player. And also he may fancy a shot at EPL, am sure there would be no shortage of takers.

    The title is in the bag and we are out of Europe. So who will leave? Here is how I see it.

    De Veris, Logan B installs more confidence with me.

    Izaguirre too,  and even if KT is out again, surely some kid can step up.

    Gamboa also, just average.

    Boyata and Ambrose wont get a look in, Toure and O'Connell ahead. Lustig is comfortable there too. I guess Toure could also go, as he will be away at the end of the season anyway and his job is done, in so far as he brought stability to a shaky defiance, although word is he has a big influence on the training ground, so he may stay till end of season.

    Commons to stay at Hibs, Ciffic if anyone will have him. GMS too.

    That's 9 players, reckon that's half a million in wages a month, could be offset against a small few better quality propositions.

    What a job BR has done in getting some players to perform to their full potential, SB, SA & JF have been totally transformed and its like 3 new signings.

    Armstrong would be player of the year right now, closely followed by Sinclair & Brown.

    Just my tuppence worth.

  2. 1-2 in the end, a commanding second half performance, upped the ante and Rangers had chances in the second half, despite being played off the park. Lustig never got a grip of McKay and Eric had a few nervy moments.

    Forrest had one of those games-nothing came off for him and what a difference Roberts made. Armstrong again outstanding, Brown typical enforcer, seemed to glide through games, Sinclair got MOM and deserved it, never gave up trying.

    What a month, full points in the bag and seems minimum disruption when missing star players-KT & TR missing today. Both will make a difference when season restarts.

    So a well deserved break for all-will be interesting to see who comes and goes.

  3. That's another 3 points in the bag, just Old Firm derby before winter break. Hopefully Rogic will be fit but if not, guess McGregor will start.

    Pretty much a solid team performance, with a rare start for Christie in the advanced Rogic role, showed lots of appetite but things did not come off for him.

    We did look tired in the last 10min, tired tackling and passing but to be expected.

    Big decision as to whether Dembele or Griffiths starts on Saturday, nice luxury to have. 

  4. Many thanks Litlos. Went to Amorn yesterday, asked the guy, typical Thai reply without looking "NO HAB". So had a look myself and found a 3 in 1 style remote for all Hatari fans, 130 Baht, happy days.

  5. Another 3 points in horrible conditions at LEGOLAND, despite loosing C.McG to a very harsh second booking from Willie the card Collum.

    There were more away fans there than home fans, Celtic found it difficult to get to grips with conditions in the first half but LG bailed us out with a great finish. He was replaced by Dembele at HT, picked up a knock. After the sending off, Armstrong scored a screamer after being set up by Dembele,. Hamilton just did not know how to deal with their extra man, they did have a few chances but Gordon earned his corn with 2 fine saves. Dembele finished easily after good work by Forrest.

    Gamboa had his best game in a Celtic shirt, McGregor picked out some delightful passes before early bath.

    All in all, a solid performance. Next up Ross County.

  6. So I went to immigration in Jomtiem, showed my passport to the Thai guy at the desk on the left hand side, explained that I finish work next week and would like a Retirement visa, he tells me that I cannot do this in Pattaya, that I have to go to BKK because that's where my existing visa was issued. Now that's a right pain in the ass if I have to go to BKK.

    I know. We live nearby and have been many times in the past. This time it felt like a significant downturn.

    Totally agree about this place. For years, it was my go to place for Thai food, loved the place late at night.

    But something went tits up a little over a year ago, everything went downhill-food, service.

     

  8. Interesting to read speculation that BR is not interested in Snodgrass, I would have reckoned he would have been the type of signing that would have been in line with improving quality, but maybe does not fit into managers style. At 29, he is at the top of his game, scores regularly too. Only thing I can think is that Roberts may be staying permanently.

    Will be an interesting transfer window, I guess we will see a lot of the fringe players shipped out. For me, as I said before, a quality, dynamic right back would be a welcome addition.
