With regard to the Welsh situation, I think it is probable that a few people are overthinking the whole thing. Celtic are simply doing what they consider is best for them. They are in no way trying to screw us over. They don't care. The same goes for the player and his future. As such, I think it would be wise for us to act in a similar manner and ask ourselves what would be the best course of action in this situation for ourselves? If we can get Welsh back to Fir Park on the same terms as before, for the rest of the season then great. He has been an excellent player for us and there is no reason to think that will change. If they are thinking about making a move for JT and using Welsh as a bargaining chip then they can take a hike. Selling our prized assets to anyone in our league is generally a poor move as it, quite rightly, upsets our own fans and they will be offering less than we can get elsewhere if we really feel the need to sell.

If we had a spate of injuries and were short of players for a position, would those getting their knickers in a twist about Welsh react the same way if we recalled a loanee whose wages we were paying to see if he could fill the gap? Especially if he was performing at an exceptional level. Pretty sure I read on here that some folk thought it would be a good idea to recall Whyte from Stenhousemuir to see if he could do a job in our midfield as cover for Watt or Slattery or perhaps sit on our bench to give us more options. Celtic are perfectly within their rights to recall Welsh to see if he can improve their current squad, bearing in mind injuries and other players moved on in this window. We knew that when he came to us as the recall date was included in the Agreement. If he does not cut it in training or game time he will be back with us soon enough, if we want him. All this talk about conspiracies, victimisation etc is nonsense. The situation is inconvenient and might be stalling us bringing in a new face or two. But that's all it is.

You’ve got to feel for Welsh. That mob are a disgrace. Rotten to the core.

Dear Martin ........ go and take a flying fuck to yourself.

I wouldnt have him back now either. Celtic chose to recall him. They have now chosen to cup tie him. They will undoubtedly come back and offer him as a makeweight in any deal for Maswanhise. Id be telling them no thanks. Just show us your cash ( lets start at £4m). If they still want to loan him back to us at that point and we still need cover, then Id maybe think about it. But lets do it on our terms, not theirs.

Regarding Tawanda, obviously everyone has a price & a crazy offer means he's gone. What i do think is that hes an asset of increasing value. 23 years old, has really come onto a game & has added goals. The way he is progressing he's going to be worth more in the summer. So basically dont sell unless theres an offer we cant refuse

Aye, if there was only 1000 away fans, they might have had to actually arrest some of them. When there's 10,000 they can avoid arresting them in the name of "crowd control"

The Cub actually built it and then forced a sale to the Fir Park Club (evicting them from their premses under the main stand), as it had become a "white elephant" and the club were struggling to meet the financial obligations attached to the building. It was originally built as a training gym and had squash courts - rented out to the general public. There was also some ambitious plans to build an overhead covered walkway between it and the stadium. All pie in the sky sadly.

Something fishy about this

For Aberdeen.

Knowing them they will want cash and JT. They are the Trump of scottish football. Lets not forget all the times they have screwed us over. I hope Welsh comes back, but only on our terms. After all we are developing one of their players so they can sell at a big fee.

I went £4m but fill yer boots! Im in!

They have treated Welsh appallingly. How not to motivate a player or encourage any up and comming youngster. I hope their pettyness does not go unnoticed by our decision makers.

Dear Martin............£8 million and Maswanhise is yours

Bastard just took Welsh off anaw.

‘Wishing an injury on a young player’ is not what I did, I said that I hoped there was a reason he was taken off that was other than him having a poor performance having been put on as a second half substitute.

Take a deep breath.🤞

Surely not, do they not know they are the best fans in the world. damning considering Aberdeen took a couple of thousand to Darvel.

I think it was a police decision, they are basically admitting they cant handle the Celtic support .

The whole Martin Oneill at fir park looking as Maswanhise is all over the Celtic social media this morning….. please just fk the fk off!! You haveto laugh at them. no bother Celtic, pay us £9m the same as you paid for that championship donkey Adam Idah and we’ll think about it.

Just noticed my dad was on the right track with his cerise and French grey comment. Between 1908 and 1913 Accies actually played in these muted colours, which HFK states were the racing colours of the Duke of Hamilton (note, not of Hamilton of Dalzell): https://www.historicalkits.co.uk/Scottish_Football_League/Hamilton_Academical/Hamilton_Academical.htm

Hes looked like that ever since he came to Fir park, the " i dont want to be here look" . He contributed feck all yesterday, so we effectively started with a man down, he needs to be moved on ASAP.

If we're playing with 70% possession, that's less of an issue.

A better question would be how did he compare with Ward's first few games. If Connelly had the same run of games that Ward has been afforded he could develop to the same level.

That sounds like a reasonable guess.

Weeyin might also be referring to me. Some players have improved under Askou and I'd say Slattery is a decent option but I don't even think he's a nailed on first choice now. Fadinger, Watt and Just all go straight in the team before Slattery. I mean I'm not on to bring the guy down, he's been better recently, but he's our 4th/5th choice midfielder depending on how you feel about Priestman.

I’ve said the same, I think Hearts will fall away. To be fair they’ve did really well but I see a Derek McIness team playing in the same way he had his Aberdeen and Kilmarnock sides playing albeit with some better players. There is no way they will win the league. You ca bookmark my comment. Falkirk are a good side with a manager who has worked miracles. He’s not a dinosaur either, he has his team of average players playing quite exciting attacking football. I’ve been really impressed with them this year.

I have felt all season that Hearts are in a false position and that the wheels would come off at some point. It will be interesting to see how they react to this defeat Having said that, for all the rightful praise JBA had been getting at Motherwell, what about McGlynn at Falkirk. They are having a remarkable season.

If the plan was to run him into the ground until he spewed his ring a few times, then mission accomplished.

Just is so talented as he manages to shoot on target with a speed of 5mph! 🤣🤣, love the guy and workrate phenomenal but shooting terrible but I can live with that

VAR is a farce. We dont need a pointless review program to confirm what we know already. Run by biased, corrupt and useless officials. These guys dont want to stop their big brown enevelope appearance fee at friendly games.

In general, he’s rarely in the right place at the right time, and when he is, he mostly fluffs it. He’s just not got it.
