Was watching the game and listening to Wullie McStay and John Collins commenting for PRAVDA yesterday what a cringe. They were obviously toeing the party but you could hear what they weren't saying. It sounded to me as if it translated as bawz burst the team doesn't know their roles and the manager has lost the plot.
Equally bizarre comments from McGregor as well after the game that seemed to convey the same sentiments.
'They (Livingston) understand the game and get it forward they use their presence and the ball. We didn't really understand the game in terms of trying to build out and giving them territory in that's what they want. '
You could hear his frustration.

JC arms were like hypnotic windmills.

Absolutely JFP, Willie McStay talked a load of crap. Collins at least had a go at the youngsters on what they should be doing, day in - day out, to become 1st team players.
KT used as a great example - 'he signed when he was 7'

Tu et Petrus I thought it was just me that was listening to Wullie McStay’s analysis and thinking ‘Whit? ’. I concluded since he played and was involved in some capacity with the youth I think that it must be me. He was making that little sense I was actually hoping that he wasn’t sober.

Willie McStay won Sligo Rovers a historic treble in 1994 as a second division side.
He took them into the top division and also won the 2 Irish domestic cups.
Willie McStay will always be a legend in Sligo.

BB his brother is a legend to me.

No, it was me also JFP (we're turning into Jack and Victor) !
Buzz, did Willie, Paul and Raymond ever play together in the first team? I'm sure Willue and Paul did in the early 80's.

Paul remains my all time favourite Celtic player and a gentleman.
17 Jan 2021 19:55:47
Raymond never played for first team if I mind right.

Pedro
Paul and Willie played plenty of times together in the 80s.
They also both scored against Rangers in a midweek 3-0 victory at Celtic Park.
I don’t think Raymond actually played for the first team.
My memory might be playing tricks on me but I think the closest Raymond got to playing was in a midweek fixture away to St. Johnstone.
He was an unused sub and I think Celtic won 3-0.
I can remember the fans shouting for Raymond to get on, so he could play in the same team as Paul.
Back then there was only 2 subs, so I don’t think Raymond got a chance after that.

Cheers Kev and Buzz as always.

Pedro I had a look back.
The game I’m thinking off was a midweek 4-2 victory at McDairmid Park in January 1992.
Paul McStay opened the scoring and Celtic were leading 4-1 and I think that’s when the fans were singing for Raymond to get on.

Raymond ended up working at Phoenix car sales for abit (linwood) dunno where he went after that.
