I agree Ox has been excellent and also agree Kelly was poor last season. There's a bit of revisionism going on though. Our entire defence was a bomb scare for all of last season - not just Kelly - and who knows how Ox would have coped with that. Also easy to forget that during Kelly's original 6 month loan spell he was so good he was was voted players' player of the year, despite only playing half a season. At that point most of us wanted him back, and when he returned the next season he was a top performer. Having said all that, I'm delighted that Ox is performing even better that we could have hoped. We definitely got the best side of that deal.

I'm a big fan of defending your line and/or marking a post.

Haven't given a stupid goal away since... checks watch.... last week. I know what you mean though, we have cut down on last season's defensive debacles.

It's true in most sports, and even more true for goalies, that a good big'un beats a good little'un.

Was looking at all the ex-Well players at St Mirren, and was wondering how Lee Erwin was doing these days after he left Paisley. I remembered he had played in Lebanon for a while, but didn't realise he was back in Finland where he's on a tear with 5 goals in 8 games. In fact, if you look at his record, since he left St Mirren he's played 66 league games and scored 40 goals. Obviously found a level where he excels.

Halliday scores. Throwfi Balmer. Take your pick...

The grand entrance that, regardless of content, rarely ends well Losing the crowd - reel it back in... Re-engage, don't alienate!! and make sure everyone knows you're leaving the ignorant plebs behind. For the record, I actually enjoyed hearing about your ideas, but a C- for interacting with the discussion.

You missed Martin Foyle as head of recruitment.

AT LEAST YOU DIDN'T WRITE IT IN ALL CAPS!!!

Given the outcry over the 5G mast, I confidently predict I won't see a St John Stadium, Pettigrew Park or Philliben Field in my lifetime.

Remember when we were a bit disappointed at losing 1 - 0 to Borussia Dortmund away, and ultimately seeing Paul Lambert join them on a Bosman? At least Celtic won't have to worry about any German interest in their players.

Never quite sure who turns down who in these cases. It often seems that candidates come in with big ideas needing big budgets that automatically rules them out.

I have no idea how he'll fare in the Premiership, but he has few sackings and a relegation to his name like many other managers, so is in good company.

Exactly. Even the pro-Sheep team reluctantly admitted we were in decent financial shape - and that was before the Bair transfer and our recent cup run. We have time now to make sure the right structure and investment ideas are fully developed.

"but you shag one sheep..."

I think you're right. A smart move by the club to let us read it in all its entitled glory.

I think that's much easier than guessing whether a handball is intentional. Especially with VAR. A bit like the tracker they can use in cricket lbw appeals to see if the ball would hit the stumps.

Parker definitely had pedigree coming through Liverpool and West Ham, and being on the books at Arsenal. Just goes to show, in case we needed more examples, that early promise doesn't always lead to success.

I didn't think it was deliberate when I watched it in real time. Having see the replays a few times, I still think he instinctively stopped the ball with his hand. I'd actually prefer a rule change for this situation, though, rather than rely on referees' (or VAR's) interpretation of intent. If any player stops the ball crossing the line with their hand, it should count as a goal (like the penalty try in rugby). Even though it would have gone against us at the weekend, I don't think a definite goal prevented by a handball should be penalised by awarding what I believe these days is something like a 66% chance of scoring from the spot.

The IFAB law for the red card is that the handball has to be deliberate: I agree consistency is key and there is a case to be made for Casey's intent, but Souttar's didn't look deliberate to me.

I don't have any problems with the Danzaki signing. It was a creative idea that didn't work out, but in our position we need to try a few new ideas from time to time. He was playing the A-League before we signed him and has made quite a few appearances in the A-League after he was punted. So not a complete no-hoper like a few others mentioned above.

Even if it's not SK's preference, he's not going to change it while we're winning games.

If Rangers are playing at the same level as they are against Hibs today we must have a good chance of a result in the semi.

Tanser's wasn't reviewed because VAR doesn't review 2nd yellows. They got Miller's wrong from the angles I saw, but that's not unusual for VAR. If they are more likely to support the refs' initial calls this season then more power to them - I'm certainly not complaining we got away with one.

Ox should be getting free drinks for life from both Gordon and Casey.
