So Ap Stam was better than him at that too.

I believe most fans would welcome a return to an 18 team league. At least then the visit of the bigger teams to Fir Park becomes more of an occasion and less routine. Similarly for our fans visiting away grounds. Less “Oh, them or there again”. Variety in other words and less repetition. . Sadly that’s not how most Boards, including ours, see it. Cash is king. The dream is top six which guarantees 4 home matches a season against Celtic and Rangers and also more than likely against at least 2 of Hearts, Hibs and Aberdeen. Financially much more lucrative than replacing that second home fixture against the big four or five with Livi, St J, Raith, Ross C, Arbroath. Thistle and Dunfermline marginally less so. I agree the 12 team set up does make it more of a challenge for anyone other than Celtic and Rangers to win the Title. But that is not the main driver for the set up we have and which is unlikely to change.

Aye i noticed that as well, which concerns me if hes not actually been released. Maybe its part of the deal or probably more likely that the club and the players agents etc are still w orking out the details.

I’d love us to cut their allocation but the problem that would cause would be more of them would buy home end tickets which puts our fans in potential danger. And no doubt we would also cut Rangers allocation just to be ‘balanced’ and not to give the wrong impression even though Rangers fans have done nothing to merit their allocation being cut. If we did cut Celtic’s allocation it should apply to Celtic and Celtic alone and we should be stating it in crystal clear terms as to why.

I think the rules allow for emergency loans at any time if a team runs short of goalies due to injury. Not ideal but at least it does not tie us to the transfer window. So no doubt we have someone in mind should that need arise.

Article in the Sun today about Caldwell’s update and it’s good to hear him call out that it was Celtic fans who caused significant damage that night as it’s been going on for years and it’s getting worse every time they come here. We need to keep pushing this and highlighting the behaviour of Celtic fans at our ground because every single time they are at Fir Park they leave behind them thousands of pounds worth of damage. That cannot be allowed to go on.

Really good interview and gave good reasons for all the points raised whether you agree with them or not. I know they are paying for damage but its worrying that new south stand seats will be ready for the next sellik home match. If they get wrecked again then we cut their allocation to 1,000. We dont need to rely on thier ticket money anymore

I don’t think Lee Hollis has been employed by anyone after us….. come to think of it I don’t think he was employed by anyone before us. I’m sure he’ll be available fits the criteria, small and looks like a full back.

Has he been released? Not seen anything from the club yet.

Good update from the CEO. I get the feeling he’s caught between a rock and a hard place on some issues, but nobody can question his commitment to the club or his generally successful track record so far.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/cq8j0vg4y7po The BBC continue to give us good coverage. Although, they got last season's kit wrong for the second time. I'll forgive them if they keep bigging up Longelo and we break our transfer record again next summer.

Good to see some communication at last. I get that its a bit late, but appreciate that with the match schedule, sometimes these sit down interviews can be difficult to fit in. The only disappointing thing is that, despite acknowledging the POD refit is far from ideal, there was no mention of plans to sit down with season ticket holders to try and mitigate the problems. That should be a priority.

Update from Brian Caldwell. Regarding the seat damage in the South Stand, we are at the point where we should be looking to reduce Celtic's allocation. Yes, they may offer to pay for damage, but there has been unacceptable behaviour and wanton vandalism spanning over a decade. This inconveniences the club, opens them up to litigation and impacts the away supports of other teams. The conduct of the fans on the final home game last season was hideous- Not just in the South Stand. In the main stand there was a Celtic-supporting professional coach, acting like an animal. Even worse he thought it was a good look to post it on his TikTok account.

Nail, head, hit. Nothing to see here.

So we are! For some reason, I had it in my head we were on 7 points. Even better! 🧡❤️🧡

I pretty much agree with all of that, except, due to being a pedant, I have to point out that we are 4 points better off at the moment rather than 3 compared to last season.

I can’t believe this hasn’t been posted yet! https://www.facebook.com/MaxAndPaddyLine/videos/1693941421469393/

I certainly have a backbone and always like to have fun and try to be uplifting ( though some would debate that judging by the quality of my jokes). I maybe misread the post, I was under impression folk were shouting at Vogt. If it's folk just sitting discussing amongst themselves then aye fair do's. Jeez you should hear what I get called at games by my mates 🤪🤪 COYW

Happy enough with the squad we have. Slight concern that we're an injury to Paulsen or Connelly away from a very inexperienced goalkeeper as backup. Last season we had Oxborough available to recall. I imagine we have a list of free agent goalkeepers in a drawer somewhere...

I dont recall Ryan bowman taking penalties.

Yea i would agree. First half longello had more involvement than any game this season. Then he did look done later & seemed content to recieve the ball, slow it down & pass it across.

Unless some Turkish or Saudi mob want to pay money for one of ours, we should be good. Jamaica's window is still open as well, probably the best hope we have of a bid for JT Hopefully, the fact there doesn't appear to have been an offer for him, bucks his ideas up and we get to see the JT we knew and loved before the African Cup

That's me just up. Have we survived unscathed? 😁

Longello was not receiving many passes second half because he was knackered and didn't want them. Saw plenty of the ball in the first half tho.

He's more Wonky than Wonka
