Am I do wee appreciation post for hansi finks Barcelona.

I think they're going to win the lot this season.

30 goals in 7 games. That's just unreal goal scoring ability isn't it.

I fancy them to win the lot.

16 Sep 2026 22:28:01
Hansi is one of the most under appreciated managers of all time.

Great manager and a wonderful humble human being.

16 Sep 2026 23:15:01
Good to see u posting mate.

16 Sep 2026 19:58:41
Should Alan Gow be in the Tennents' Sixes? I don't remember him ever playing a game?

16 Sep 2026 21:00:30
Yes he played South, not many but he did play, good player for Falkirk.

16 Sep 2026 21:38:18
I liked how he was a good player.

Never got a chance at us, same as Gregg Stewart another player I liked a lot.

15 Sep 2026 14:12:49
Just read the absolutely heartbreaking news that Nacho Novo's son has passed away at just 26 years old.

My deepest condolences to Nacho, his immediate family, and all of his son's friends and loved ones.

Absolutely devastating news. 💙.

15 Sep 2026 16:00:12
Brings everything into perspective Stig, tragic, I was a ceremonial pallbearer of a 94 yr old yesterday, human life is fragile and has no guarantees nor does it differentiate, we are all vulnerable, 26-94,

Doesn't seem fair, and it isn't

Good bless Nacho and the boys mum.

15 Sep 2026 13:35:45
Good to Curtis called up again.

15 Sep 2026 14:33:21
Great to see one of our own with a real chance of making it. Well done young man.

15 Sep 2026 14:33:53
Brilliant for Curtis.
Though didn't think Colby Donavan would make it with him being injured after Gassama ripped him a new one on a couple of occasions on Sunday.😜.

15 Sep 2026 18:23:07
I'm going to the Falkirk and Hearts game tonight, see Wilson and McPake.

15 Sep 2026 23:15:33
Falkirk were good tonight, think they'll be in the top 6 again, surprised a bigger club hasn't snatched the manager, plays football the right way as well as being very organised, very good the second half, you wouldn't think they signed more players than us that window.

16 Sep 2026 01:33:36
I'm still surprised that Sellic didn't get him in, or Aberdeen, or Hearts.

In fact McGlyn is capable of going most places in Scotland.

16 Sep 2026 13:08:15
Actually Tom, McGlynn also seems like a decent guy as well. I've always found him fair and balanced when getting interviewed after a match. I think he may end up at Parkhead sooner than you think. Hope not btw.

16 Sep 2026 14:50:18
Seeker, he is a good guy, had many conversations with McGlynn over the years, loves the game, very passionate man about improving players, like the way he's goes about his job, a man i wouldn't want anywhere near Celtic, mate, that's his team though, heard from others he doesn't have any plans on moving on, was at the game with crunchie last night, I'm just surprised other clubs haven't went out their way is getting him.

16 Sep 2026 17:33:38
My star, remember watching wee Crunchie at Falkirk years ago. Used to go to old Brockville a lot over the years. I can go away back to Alex Ferguson, Jim Shirra, Wilson Hoggan and the like.

Good times, Re McGlynn, I'm really surprised he hasn't been approached by a bigger team. Wait and see, he'll probably be in the frame for the Hibs job as Gray's jacket must be on a shoogly peg at the moment.

16 Sep 2026 19:49:24
I believe gray has actually now been sacked.

16 Sep 2026 20:00:32
Been around a long long time Seeker, big Celtic man tho, but he has a lot of knowledge about football and knows how to play football to win.

14 Sep 2026 23:53:26
Ed maybe post in one of quieter pages so it doesn't get lost with morning rush. Cheers

John seen your reply to me aboit makhanya mate.

I know u have a lot of good contacts and are always in the ball. 9/10 your there or thereabouts mate.

I just see a guy who strolls it.

I know I overhype players but I genuinely see a young van dijk when I watch him.

He's absolutely top drawer he's got the lot.

Can play both fullback positions too.

This boy is a too top player and whoever spotted him deserves a huge credit so Purdy Thelwell whoever I've had a go at. Well done for makhanya

He's going to the top.
Not like manny and the overhype this boys the full package.

I can see him being at Chelsea Liverpool Dortmund or maybe a lille or benfica forst. He's got everything and I mean everything.

To get him within a year wef be maybe in a bad position due to his low wage. I'd hand him a new deal on 20k a week and a bigger buyout as if he has one now it will be £10m max, remember Raskin had £12m at one point.

John thanks for that info mate.

15 Sep 2026 08:31:32
He's been an absolute revelation since he came in, Stevie.
Only 22, and settled into the team as if he had been here for years.
The type of player you would love to hold onto for a few seasons.

15 Sep 2026 08:47:30
I'm not certain but I imagine we had our eye on him before he moved to the MLS, a couple of years back we were being linked with quite a few SA players, it would make sense that we had identified him back then 🤔.

But agree if he continues in this vain he will be in with a great shout of POTY.

15 Sep 2026 09:42:27
Brilliant signing so far. Big boy didn't get a look in when a poster asked who we were all most looking forward to seeing out of the new boys, not one person picked him, but i like that though, when you get a player like him your not expecting much from but turns out to be one of the best so far.

15 Sep 2026 10:39:29
Boy Blue, Glad to see I mentioned Makhanya as POTY contender a week or so ago. Big man looks so at ease. Especially on Sunday, that was a major test for him against Duran, going man for man and occupying that width.

15 Sep 2026 11:34:32
StevieG angling for 001's job 🙄😉👍.

15 Sep 2026 13:05:06
Another Oscar fished out. Someone spotted makanya was a player. Oh and Neil too. your all soooo clever.

15 Sep 2026 13:55:38
Thanks for contributing Colonel!

15 Sep 2026 16:01:08
😂😂 fork and colonel.

15 Sep 2026 16:08:49
😂 some on here couldn't appreciate a player even if Figo was playing for Girvan amateurs 😂. Medal 🏅 medal.

15 Sep 2026 16:09:02
Ha colonel, I like that, one thing every single person should remember and usually don't, there's people trained and payed to identify, coach, purchase, monitor, assess, recommend and report on, very very few are not " talented ", in fact probably none, Neil was always a good player, Sunderland captain tends to be decent, Rothwell too, just didn't click here, it happens all the time all over the world of football.

15 Sep 2026 22:40:34
Tom spot on mate.

Rothwell is a good player. For some reason it didn't work.

16 Sep 2026 13:11:20
Rothwell did show his class in flashes. Maybe we should have persevered with him. Neil is and has always been a class player. Was outstanding on Sunday, like prime Barry for me.

16 Sep 2026 14:41:46
Yes seeker, I saw a few pieces of play where I thought this guy has real quality, but the entire team were not playing as a unit and no shape to them at all, this caught Rothwell out often and he was forced places he didn't like to be, it's nit uncommon as you know for players to be dragged into the madness that occurs when players don't stick to the plan, Rothwell was brought in to play a certain role, he found himself nowhere near his natural position many times because of other players.

14 Sep 2026 20:43:44
Still buzzing from the result yesterday. Hopefully we can repeat the levels witness this weekend and really cranky up the pressure on Celtic as you get the feeling that might send the parkhead faithful into meltdown.

As weird as this may sound, I am more interested in seeing how we perform against the rest of the teams in the league as that has been our downfall in previous seasons! Hopefully the good feelings say with us, been a breath of fresh air reading all the positive chat on the site!

14 Sep 2026 18:11:45
Could it possibly be that Thelwell, Purdy and Thelwell Jnr actually know what they're doing?? (RM aside - that was an unforgivable blunder)🤣. Some cracking players starting to show up.

I've regularly slaughtered our fans lack of backing but yesterday the whole stadium was unbelievable.

I wish we could bottle that atmosphere for evey game.

Now, was the atmosphere brilliant because the players were brilliant, or were the players brilliant because the fans were brilliant??

For me, the fans were on it from minute 1 and lifted the players first. Imagine if we were that fan base EVERY game. What could the team achieve.

Christ, even Gassama was geeing up the crowd. He normally looks terrified under the moans and groans and glare.

Well done everyone who was there.

My daughter had a great day there.

14 Sep 2026 22:21:53
I think both Purdy and Thelwell Jnr are very good at their job, and what is actually more inportant is that the strategy is correct, and consistent, from the DoF / DoSO.

For Thelwell Snr, it was a bad appointment as his vision was to replicate the structure of most English clubs from academy up. I can understand the new owners buying in to this as it's what they know from the insight gathered from Leeds. However it was never going to work as we don't have the infrastructure in this country to deliver it, or the financial muscle to compete with the teams South of the Border.

The closer we can keep to the Dutch and Belgian model the better.

14 Sep 2026 22:41:36
they do seem to know what they are doing though but as with everything it takes time and they won't always get it right 100% or first time. small steps but we seem to be getting there.

athole glad your daughter had a great day and the win would help that with the atmosphere it creates. better to stop now though with that greta memory in her head before she becomes obsessed like the rest of us 😉.

14 Sep 2026 23:58:17
Ehl I hold my hands up.

My criticism has been u fair and ovwr the top.

The incomings were too slow and gave McInnes a hard job to do. Almost cost him his job imo.

But the quality of player is pretty outstanding tbf to the football dept.

It's the best % of good versus bad signings I've seen since advocaat and even he had a few howlers in him.

Guivarch being the standout

I think the only one we could say is t uoto it so far is Mccrorie and he will come good for what he's here for.

I don't see a bad signing.

Bounini can't be judged.

15 Sep 2026 08:18:36
I agree with a lot of what your saying StevieG, it looks like we finally have a a squad with some real quality. Every one looks good just now. Though not getting carried away after one great performance because we've seen us raise our games for big games before then fall flat.

I do think the criticism was fair at the time though, as u say much was done too late and we've needed to sign dozens of players in 3 windows which is bound to send alam signals, especially when most are to undo the damage they caused in the first place.

After the debacle of last year and our European embarrassment I'd say fans distrust was understandable. Hopefully now that can change.

15 Sep 2026 09:28:03
Yes we have some quality across the squad, but that needs blended into a team, we are seeing the shoots of that now, it needs built on over the next few weeks to become a settled cohesive unit.

15 Sep 2026 12:21:18
Very well put EHL!

15 Sep 2026 12:26:24
Defo is lads, there will be some hiccups still to come but it can't be perfect.

15 Sep 2026 12:28:12
Same here Stevie I've been highly critical with my opinions at start of window, I did say it's going to be a whole different team when window closed and it definitely has turned out that way. as the window was closing I started to get a good feeling about the team obviously the results help the matter. But on paper that's an amazing team and now we are starting to see it all come together very well done to all involved.

Praise where praise is due. Del the old fox has few tricks up his sleeve and I'm so happy for him. all in all I'm well happy now and looking forward to the season to unfold I'm sure there will be a few twists and turns. Treble is still on.
