Why? Either we offered it or they did. Given that Burrows loves a contract clause - Moore, McDonald, Lasley, Dunne - it could well have been us. Hartlepool don't seem competent enough to negotiate something like that.

I would guess Burrows offered the sell on thinking that it would never be used.

The 40% sell on fee makes a transfer impossible unless it's seven figures. Burrows loves a contract clause.

They are choking to sell Dembele but no one wants to buy him because he has scored the same number of league goals as Dougie Imrie.

Surely the fact that's it's unexpected means it's unlikely to happen again? The bid has only came in because Gordon got injured a few days before the window shut and Celtic need a reliable short term replacement who will be happy to got the bench when Gordon's back. It's a freak occurrence and I don't think many teams will be bidding for a 30 year old goalie when they have more time to plan.

I generally agree with that point but this feels a bit different. I'd have kept Moult as he'd get his big contract at the end of the season and we could do with his goals but with Carson it's either move to Celtic in the next 24 hours or see out his career with us. Obviously that's not necessarily a bad thing but the guy is 29 and hasn't made any money out of the game, moving will change the rest of his life.

It's being reported that we want 750 grand. That seems about right and if Rodgers genuinely wants him Celtic will pay it.

Would Celtic have bid without getting the nod from Carson's agent? I read an interview with him a while ago where he mentioned almost chucking football at one point because it wasn't working financially. It would be difficult for him to knock back Celtic after a career in the lower leagues.

Preston bid 50 grand more than Aberdeen.

Moult signed for Preston mate.

He scored a few important goals for us.

Celtic get fucked out of Europe by Zenit in four weeks time. Gordon is out til the end of the season.

Hartlepool to Celtic in 6 months at age 29 would be a strange one. Unfortunately for Trevor he's priceless for us at the moment.

They didn't play enough stoppage time either. A 49 minute half despite at least 6 minutes of VAR time plus a couple of injuries.

The ref was desperately trying to stop WBA going 3-1 up there. If it's brought up here it'll be like the Warren Commission every time Celtic concede a goal.

Watching the Liverpool game and I hope they never bring VAR in up here. Liverpool got a pen for a tug on Salah when he was never getting the ball. Yet West Brom got a goal chopped off for the tightest offside but the replay also showed a huge push by Mignolet on Barry which was ignored. It's just another way to help big teams.

Puerto Banus and Vegas are the Scottish footballers destination of choice these days. They are probably better off doing a couple of easy weeks with the Scotland team whatever else they would do with their time off. When you look at the number of matches the real top players play it's a ridiculous thing to be moaning about. Celtic players are apparently in danger of burnout but Brenda plays the first 11 against Brechin? Total pish.

That doesn't really prove anything as it's actually came out the goal then spun back onto the line there. I thought it was over the line when the goalie saved it but on the line when Naismith cleared it.

The second best part of the goal is Berra trying to block McHugh and getting absolutely bodied.

I did but my stake was just the money I saved by not bothering to go today and Blackburn bottled it anyway. I had a good treble during the week of us, Rangers and Hearts so no great loss.

The roaster on the commentary will be greeting in their shitey new main stand right now. His comments about Tait's injury were a joke.

Looks over to me. From behind the goal the keeper palms it, then it bounces, then it's on the line. Good decision from the officials.

Tanner hit a free kick very high to the back post. It bounced about a bit and came to an unmarked Main who headed it in from six yards. Their wank of a keeper clawed it out but the linesman gave it. Levein will be raging as they went for a second goal rather than the corner allowing us a final attack.

Main. Debatable whether or not it was over the line.
