Leave Bain in.

Agree0 Disagree0

Almost down to the tea mate, personally I have to agree with Kev. Bain should be goal keeper for us from now on. It’s his time to shine, 6 clean sheets from we played the SCUM! Brendan will keep him 1st choice for now because it suits the wAy he wants to play from the back. and he’s a Great shot stopper. Bain 1st choice all day for me Gordon has pulled of some of the best saves i have ever seen like David degea his reactions are sometimes lol but then He’s doing silly mistakes 10 minutes later when there is no need.

Agree1 Disagree0

09 Feb 2019 09:24:01
Bain was getting cup ties when he wasn't first choice so Rodgers could do the same now with gordon.

Agree1 Disagree0

09 Feb 2019 10:21:28
Putting Gordon in today would cement his place behind bain.

Agree1 Disagree0

09 Feb 2019 11:35:50
But it would also break bains run and mess about at the back while even though there has been disruption they are playing well.

Agree1 Disagree0

09 Feb 2019 12:07:20
Ad play boyata give him 90 before Valencia.

Agree0 Disagree0

09 Feb 2019 18:08:02
100% keep bains in goal. As they said if it not broke don't fix it.

Agree0 Disagree0

10 Feb 2019 01:44:43
I get that but I think there may be an agreement in place where 2nd fiddle plays cup games. Fairs fair.

Agree0 Disagree0

08 Feb 2019 20:27:02
Ed just a quick question do you think Tierney will be back in time for Valencia? And if you were Brendan and he's not fit enough to start would you start Izzy or lustig if troljan can play down either side.

Believable1 Unbelievable0

{Ed007's Note - I do think KT will be back for Valencia and if he doesn't make it why not try Toljan at LB?}

08 Feb 2019 20:33:21
ED007 can a private citizen appeal Morelos ban?
My grounds are I am being deprived of a wad of cash if he is not playing lol.

You have made loads A money off him why worry about a measly couple hundred.

How can the hibs boy get sighted even though the ref saw it?

Believable1 Unbelievable0

08 Feb 2019 19:36:09
Makes a mockery of the excuses given after the beaton fiasco. Making the rules up as they go 🙈.

Agree1 Disagree0

08 Feb 2019 20:24:07
I’m with you Kev. I thought if the ref saw it and deemed it a yellow that was the end of it.

Agree1 Disagree0

08 Feb 2019 20:24:26
I was a bit baffled by this I thought he got a yellow so therefore it had been dealt with by the ref and couldn't be looked at again.

Agree0 Disagree0

08 Feb 2019 20:29:10
A know another pure joke. Don't get me wrong worse tackle of all the been halled up. No place in the game. And how can the lines man no see it right in front of him.

Agree1 Disagree0

08 Feb 2019 21:06:21
Great point Kev; They beastards just make it up as they go along to suit their favourites. Corruption breeds chaos.

Agree1 Disagree0

08 Feb 2019 22:26:38
Am baffled as well bhoys this needs clarified.

Agree0 Disagree0

08 Feb 2019 23:06:31
Clarified mally? Couldn't be more clear for me, they're corrupt to the core and any celtic fan who can't see that now is complicit in my eyes.

Agree0 Disagree0

08 Feb 2019 14:14:04
Hypothetical question:

I'm assuming they would cost similar amounts (15m?).

If (and it's a big if) our board sanctioned the funds (and both players wanted to come) who would you prefer to sign, Benko or Burke?

Tough call but for me benko.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

08 Feb 2019 14:32:10
No tough call for me . benkovic every time. thiugh a decent player I don't think burke is worth 15 mill especially as a striker and for that money we could get far better . but benkovic is as good and could possibly get better than vvd.

Agree4 Disagree1

08 Feb 2019 15:12:53
Can we no buy wan get wan free?

Agree2 Disagree0

08 Feb 2019 18:29:36
Benko definitely for me.

Agree1 Disagree0

08 Feb 2019 19:02:15
Benko all day long.

Agree1 Disagree0

08 Feb 2019 19:07:01
Think it would have to be Benko with the issues we have had with recruiting quality for the defence.

Agree1 Disagree0

08 Feb 2019 20:00:00
Benko. Lol was more of an obvious question to be honoust think any1 Celtic supporter would have him over Burke. Not saying Burke isn’t valuable to us now at the minute and is obviously going to progress but we already have many good players up the top half of the field. It’s our defense at needs a make over. If we can get Tom as our rb and keep benko. At would get me damp lol and Bain looking good to so would be exciten to see what happens at the end of season.

Agree0 Disagree0

08 Feb 2019 20:26:05
I’d take both and for that matter I’d also get Weah and Toljan signed up 😉.

Agree0 Disagree0

08 Feb 2019 22:12:55
Benko is pure class.

Agree1 Disagree0

08 Feb 2019 23:08:31
Benkovic for me, the need is greater in defence.

Agree1 Disagree0

10 Feb 2019 15:31:46
Pretty unanimous then!

Agree0 Disagree0

08 Feb 2019 14:15:48
Tomorrow I'd like to see Burke move out wide and Bayo get a start. I know folk like to say stick him on if we've got the game wrapped up and in an ideal world that would be great but we've spent over £2M on this guy, we should have no qualms about chucking him on at any time.

Who are we playing the moral Kev.

08 Feb 2019 14:04:51
Wondering what everyone's thoughts are on our goalkeeping situation. Bain has now played the last 6 I think and has yet to concede a goal. Good stats but when you look at the number of shots on target he's had to save, its less inpressive.
However his distribution has been far better than Craig Gordon seems to be able to do which is why I'd have him in for the rest of the season at least.

I'm not a huge Gordon fan anyway but unless Bain starts to make blunders I can't see how Gordon will get back into the team.

Believable1 Unbelievable0

08 Feb 2019 14:35:26
I mentioned Bain's great distribution recently and although he has had little to do in the way of shot-stopping or saves, a lot of the credit must go to a defense that is much more confident in it's keeper with a lot less jittery moments and panicky clearances.

Agree2 Disagree0

08 Feb 2019 14:41:44
I also think good distribution of the ball ensures we keep it. Gordon is guilty of inviting pressure onto us which often leads to good chances.

Agree2 Disagree0

08 Feb 2019 15:15:28
Bain for me has been excellent I think his composure on the ball and passing out from the back has taken a lot of the anxiety away from the defense hibs were pushing high up but Bain's passing nullified that he has to be number 1 from now on.

Agree1 Disagree0

08 Feb 2019 15:17:49
I get your point about shot numbers but we can hardly blame Bain for that. lol.

Agree0 Disagree0

08 Feb 2019 15:30:04
No Tim I was just highlighting that he's not had a great number of saves to make. But I also think that's due to him being a good passer and keeping the ball in our possession.

Agree0 Disagree0

09 Feb 2019 13:45:59
And the saves he has made have been top class.

Agree0 Disagree0

08 Feb 2019 12:09:33
If morelos is gets off with yet another offence the games a bogey we'd be as well chucking it because it will confirm all our suspicion s on the governing body . clarke out today explaining to slippy why he made the comparison with his player and Defoe straight to the point well done Stevie.

08 Feb 2019 14:20:52
Him and McGregor are thugs. When we win the Title we will be up to 50 but won't put 5 crimgey stars on our tops.

Agree0 Disagree0

08 Feb 2019 11:27:27
I said yesterday that I thought Jozo was lucky to get away with his challenge on Wednesday but the more I watch it, the more I really don't see how else he can attack the header. He goes in with a lot of force and undoubtedly catches Shaw but he can't exactly jump with his arms by his side.

Believable1 Unbelievable0

08 Feb 2019 12:55:37
Thought that myself. HEard comparisons to when he was sent off at the asbestos.

Those comparisons are way off. Last seasons def sending off. Wednesday, no way.

Agree0 Disagree0

08 Feb 2019 13:47:49
Paranoid maybe
But I reckon it is only going to the SFA in order to get ‘quashed’ thereby demonstrating their impartiality

Paranoid? Who said that?

Agree0 Disagree0

08 Feb 2019 14:12:35
Agree with that, last season he just threw an elbow when there was no need to do so.

Agree0 Disagree0

08 Feb 2019 10:57:13
I copied this facebook post from a Celtic site I am on.
The guy is spot on (and these are the ones which came to mind. )
SFA highlights this season so far:
- Launching a "Worldwide Search" for a new Scotland manager which involved interviewing just one candidate (Michael O'Neill) . He declined as they offered him less money, and then they gave the job to Alex McLeish
- Rescinding a blatant red card for Alfredo Morelos.
- Failing to punish brutal assaults on the pitch, but punishing Neil Lennon for impersonating an aeroplane.
- Not punishing pitch invasions.
- Scheduling 2 cup games in the same day at Hampden even though it constituted wanton stupidity and a safety issue.
- Ignoring video evidence of assaults on the pitch because the referee had "seen them"
- Having a much publicised referees summit with managers, after which absolutely nothing was resolved.
- Not being able to spell Stevie Clarke's surname on a citation.
- Stevie Clarke was cited for bringing the game into disrepute. Steven Gerrard, who claimed referees had been against Sevco for years, was not.

Any other Government/ Committee. Association would be facing a No Confidence vote.
In this case it would take all the clubs (including our own) stepping-up and tabling a motion - I doubt it will happen in my lifetime.

All perfectly valid and I'm sure there are other instances; but here we are getting more and more frustrated and angry on a daily basis, while not one club or individual in our game will take them to task.

Agree0 Disagree0

08 Feb 2019 11:36:42
Added to Michael O'Neill fiasco, it was a done deal and he asked to postpone for 1 week as his mother had died. When his agent attempted to rearrange, they never got back to him for a good few weeks with the less money offer.

Its beyond a joke how Scottish football has nosedived to the pits over last few years.

Agree0 Disagree0

08 Feb 2019 12:06:43
Aye and it was supposed to improve under Maxwell and unbelievably it's got worse and have they asked beaton why he was drinking in a well known sevco pub after that performance at the crumbledome.

Agree1 Disagree0

08 Feb 2019 12:38:28
Is that actually true Mally?

Agree0 Disagree0

08 Feb 2019 13:10:52
Well there’s photographs circulating but you never be sure when they were taken but he’s in at least one selfie with a Sevconian.

Agree0 Disagree0

08 Feb 2019 14:48:10
Imagine the furore if that was a Referee with Celtic leanings drinking in a Celtic Supporters Club. They would have caused social unrest and demand that public hanging be brought back!

Agree0 Disagree0

08 Feb 2019 16:13:43
It wasn't even Beaton it was just a lookalike, the selfie pic was a ringer for him but the other pics that were taken you can clearly see it isn't beaton. Can't believe people fell for that😂.
