You must see the same accusations every week from opposition fans in league your club "compete" in.

Yes we do. It's just the way it is. It has become a larger issue up here now that it's not Rangers who have the cash. When they did, I cannot remember a story in the press mentioning it. Funny that.

I would love to be able to buy the kind of players you can. Any fan who say they wouldn't is talking shit.

You turned out in force for years when you didn't have a pot to piss in. I have no angst that you have great benefactors. My uncle was a mad city fan who sadly died before you won the Prem. When Aguero scored that goal
I thought of him. My brother and his son go down quite regular to watch City too so we appreciate your team and supporters.
 
When I say we have the cash.

It's not a lot. But it's more than the rest.

Probably find more down the back of your guys sofa.

Don't get me wrong, being on the end of a hiding won't be a shock. Even if you sent 11 second string I guarantee they cist you at least 20 times what our players cost us.
As Einstien put it. It's all relative.

if we put up a show against you, questions have to be asked of your recruiting. It would seem you maybe paying over the odds, because on a financial basis it shouldn't be a contest at all. And neither should have the first game.

Are questions being asked about Rodgers recruitment? After all saturdays game against Motherwell should have been a "no contest" as you put it yet that turned out not to be the case.

We had two of our first choice defenders out and Sinclair. Two of the replacements had nightmares. Izzaguere got hooked after 25mins and big Toure was at fault for the first two goals.

Two down at half time then brought it back level only to concede a third. From kick off we equalised and then Rogic scored a cracker.

It was a test of could we come back and we did. Great game to watch.

Shevchenko will be back but without Tierney we are definitely weaker.

Hopefully Sinclair will be fit.

Toure and Izzy sold the jerseys.

No questions about Rogers recruitment so far. All signings have worked. Toure just had two lapses but has been good for the team.

I'm not complaining. I said that's just the way it is. If you re read it you will see that. Or I did in a previous post. As for competition? That's a hindrance to us, so every game against better teams tells us more of where we are. That's why we will treat the game differently from City as they have qualified and may rest players.

This is our last game against a much better side so we want to at least turn up.

I think Tierney is a good young player, When I watch Celtic which I do because of Roberts. I get the feeling when he`s in acres of space his teams seem to ignore him and give it to one of their own (someone not on loan) do you think that is the case or am I imagining it.

I haven't noticed that to be fair. I think the opposition know him better and he can draw a couple as he is a threat. He has been good for us and played really well on Saturday. He had been out of the team as Sinclair was playing well and Forrest was also back.

I think being at us has been good for his development and I would like to keep him but we just don't have that kind of money for one player.

I can't see him getting many games for you next season and this will halt his progress. Another year with us on loan would be welcomed by all of our support and good for you as he will get better playing especially if we qualify for the CL next year.
 
I'm just cheering myself up with the barca home game,i think the ref for that one is the same for this game,booked raz for diving

Again it's just the way it is.

Southampton have done the same to us. With Forster, Van Dyke and Wanyama. No doubt Moussa Dembele will go too.

We are in a shit league with less cash than spent at a misers night out.

We are a big wee fish, who eats the smaller fish and bigger ones eat us.
The players we filleted were Scottish as we try to have as many as ability allows. It does reduce their capability but not buying them affects their ability to survive. Get your point though.

To be honest it only good for Roberts and City if he gets lots of game time, what he`s had is not enough imo. If he cant get it in Scotland he should try the championship or lower reaches of the prem. I hope he gets game time I`d like rto see the lad succeed.
