It certainly seems that the board were well aware that Jens was away long before it happened, so I would agree a 3 week process from that point seems reasonable, albeit potential candidates may still be in employment up until the end of the month. Would certainly expect an announcement early June so we can get some the recruitment signed off before the players come back on June 19th. Be nice to know and be able to relax before I bugger off to the World Cup!

Well, the directors can't be far away from making a decision. Recently, its taken us about 3 weeks to make an appointment. When JBA left last week, unlike last year when Michael Wimmer resigned suddenly, we were told that the recruitment process was well underway. Given that it seems the board knew about his likely departure some weeks previously, we surely can't be far off an announcement. These days, the Board is being far more professional about managerial appointments with no leaks, premature or otherwise. Evidence of that is the lack of even remotely credible media articles, if indeed they interested at all.

Yes, it'll be interesting. Whether or not it was an actual penalty is now largely irrelevant. What will be be fascinating is how he analyses the process. The referee makes a call, rightly or wrongly. That decision must stand unless there is compelling clear and obvious evidence that he got it wrong. No-one, except diehard Celtic fans and some Hibs fans have seen that.

I suspect that's been Mr Beaton's most commonly used phrase over the past few weeks. That's probably his JRP Gordon moment, while it supercedes the time he never spotted the Dundee goalkeeper falling into the side of the net with the ball, it's obviously going to be Hearts and Rangers that will be most aggrieved by that decision against Celtic, and they will not let him forget it. Just waiting for Collum's take on things on his monthly apology show.

I was confirming it was, although it took me a month to realise the smug annoying "actor" was Klopp.

We do get those ads here 😆

Armenian results this evening confirm us as unseeded in QR2

I remember being at that game. St John nearly broke the cross bar with a header.

Unless they win it, of course... then we're rich!

Acording to Lanarkshire Live (the Rancid) his expected total payment is about £290K, of which we'd receive about £190K.

Heard they'll come as a package deal to help with our European games 😂

Apologies, should have put that on ins and outs

I thought we might be in bad shape transfer wise but it looks like Hearts are having a summer clearout Kent, shankland, benigimi Nelson and Forrest so far. I thought that Beni guy was excellent.

I'd be surprised if the Trivago ad wasn't shown in Australia. It was never off the telly here in the US during half time of every EPL game.

You'd probably be wrong but he doesn't seem to be in the recent ones.

I read that the payment is pro-rated amongst the clubs that a player was registered with during the past 2 years. So, without a deal, we'd only be eligible for around half. If we did make a deal to pass it all on to his previous club, it's a great idea to help pay for a player.

I think that was one of your rasher statements......

There was talk of the Just WC money going to his previous club as part of his transfer agreement. Unsure on how accurate that is though

It's a travel booking company, he does the TV commercial for them, you probably don't get it in Oz

Assuming New Zealand go out at the group stage I'd guess at last half of that money will be/has already been allocated to cover his own transfer fee.

Did he no Hogg the ball?

Trivago!

Strange in that he was deemed not good enough to warrant a run in the team, at a time when we were playing like dog sh*t. I have seen him play for Auckland FC and the All Whites and he is no world beater, but he is a half decent fullback who offers more, defensively, than Longello but is nothing like as good going forward. His inclusion in the NZ squad was no surprise and that, probably, should give you an idea as to the strength and depth of their squad.

Did he say that after using Trivago? 🤪

Ye I think time to move on now. We cant change anything now
