Yeh, definitely a few teething problems along the way for us, but in hindsight I think we’ve been good for each other. I know there’s also been some criticism of the volume of merchandise they are producing, but they are a business and therefore understandably looking to make money. I personally think the amount of choice is outstanding, literally something for everyone regardless of taste, I even know someone who likes that ‘lilac’ away top🙄…

EPL club mate with all of the exposure it brings, regardless of their size or success. We were also effectively a basket case starting from the bottom rung merchandise wise, following the car crashes of deals we had previously. We have now shown without doubt that we are a top tier club for a future kit sponsorship deal and when the Castore runs down and I expect the revenue stream to reflect this in the next deal with whoever👍…

This made me smile before realising it’s probably closer to the mark than you actually intended 😉…

I think once the prospect of financial compensation becomes realistically tangible then many more victims will be attracted to the action as it appears this is the only way that they will receive any form of recognition of their abuse by that club. I also can’t believe the difference how this is being treated here (our insular and bitter little country of late) in comparison with the alleged historical ‘racism’ allegations facing Yorkshire cricket club. Sponsor withdrawal, large scale MSM condemnation and resignations from the top. Any form of racism is a disease and needs dealt with however compare the inaction, deflation and denial of actual physical and emotional abuse of children on an industrial scale, truly disheartening and sickening in the extreme…

No remorse, no self awareness (ongoing conduct over a substantial period of time, latest only a matter of months ago) and as per so many of these bigoted, bitter, hate filled no-marks not a single shred of class…

Kind of hoping a returning fit Ryan Kent will have the impact of a new signing, same can be said for Ryan Jack. Kent gives us a different dimension to the offensive line with his pace and unpredictability and Jack moves the midfield up a level imo. Hopefully SG can assess how the team perform on their return and if able to do so strengthen to compliment our strongest 11 if required come January…

No worries mate and I genuinely wish you well going forward with whatever it is your dealing with👍…

‘What the fuck am I talking about’ ? I quoted your post and the point I was making if you took the time to think about it was the ridiculous excuses made by them were just that and didn’t/ don’t deserve our time of day. Tbf I was tired after traveling the whole day yesterday and on hindsight could have articulated my point better, wasn’t insinuating anything towards yourself if it came across as such…

Maybe I’m misinterpreting your meaning here but no title won without loosing a game can even be tarnished a fluke mate, hard as they try. They can call it the ‘covid title’ all they like but it was a record breaking title campaign won on the field of play, a title awarded by zoom on the other hand they’d have claimed as legitimate if their ‘tiar’ dystopian dream had came to fruition. Right with you for the 56 though, the blame will then transfer to their board for going for the cheap option of a manager in Postacoglu with the excuse of they would have won the league if they’re board had brought in some pipe dream of a high profile manager who in reality would never have looked at them twice…

You forgot to mention the ‘sandcastle’ incident mate🙄…

Yeh, I heard him constantly banging on about this, funny how his attitude to possible offside goals and strong opinions regarding them have changed since Julien’s cup final goal was as clear an offside one as you will ever see. I’m actually debating if it’s just click bait from him or actual hurt as he now openly admits going to watch celtic play as a fan now…

I watched him in an interview riding a wave of cheered controversy from his team and celtic fans following the game where was sent off for the Barasic tackle, also lording it up re allegedly (from the commentator) bullying Alfredo(?) He obviously wants that reputation playing against us regardless of the fact that by playing to the masses in this reckless fashion he is actually endangering another professionals health and livelihood. The lad got what he deserved and hopefully his teammates and manager let him know about it…

Well there’s your problem mate:-)…

I think it highly likely that he still holds an unhealthy influence there (and beyond) and taking himself out of the limelight is exactly what he’s done to avoid the abuse as you say. Don’t think he’ll be putting himself back in the firing line anytime soon though…

Tbf, the exact level of standards we were unfortunately expecting…

😀… Well, he definitely has form with these type of decisions when officiating at that venue…

Haven’t seen any highlights but that was an outrageous decision (non decision), who was the referee?

That would be humorous if it wasn’t so close to the bone…

Compare the narrative with Kent ‘pointing’ towards a crowd and Morelos gesture across the neck (which I’ve seen numerous times since from both players and physios without mention). Don’t see any way he can squirm out of this, I know for a fact, players, stewards and police are briefed not to go near pyrotechnics, all clubs have protocols in place for their safe disposal. Any sane minded person looks at that video and knows exactly what is happening…

If there was ever an arse with 3 cheeks👆…

Absolutely loving that the club is in a place where now it feels secure enough to start doing things like this. The celtic fan reduction at Ibrox was a universally welcome by the majority of our fan base imo, despite the faux outrage and let’s face it, for long enough we have bore the brunt of negative publicity so let’s make sure the ongoing nonsense pointed towards us is for worthwhile reasons👏…

Thought he was playing through the ‘pain barrier’ against celtic?

Definite loss but it has became apparent his form has been hampered carrying an injury for weeks. This will open the door of opportunity for someone else to stake a claim for a shirt and hopefully provide the spark that has been missing so far for most of this season. A fully fit and rested Kent returning and looking to win his place back is something to be optimistic about…

We had a front page headline of a fan allegedly kicking over a sandcastle in Aberdeen lol, I hadn’t heard anything about this till I saw it on the thread. Much ado about nothing in the video but I have no doubt that if this was our fans the most dramatic still involving police battening fans wearing our colours would be on the front page of at least one of the red tops…

Only thing in his pocket now is a ‘4 year’ contract I believe, laughing all the way to the bank…
