Fitba and Celtic, retro computers and the ridiculous
Just found this match report on the Scotland game from a non-UK website. Cypress fans didnβt take it well at all. italia1990.com/uefa/group-5...

Think MONβs been playing Monopoly and found one of these in his pocket.
22.11.2025 22:07 β π 6 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Well, back in the day six mins added time was almost unheard of.
Remember Goughβs βextra dayβ goal for Scotland vrs Cypress? All the fuss made because it was six mins into added time.
One of those moments a season pivots on. Superb McGregor!

22.11.2025 21:53 β π 5 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Saint Mirren is a dreadful team to play but man-for-man we really should be outclassing them.
Our players couldnβt pass wind tonight.
Thatβs embarrassing. It shows that the SPFL is the pinnacle of their ambition. Itβs clear then that they see Europe as a bit of an away day - no more than a wee jolly; an adventure to break the routine of domestic games rather than a platform they want to establish the club on.
22.11.2025 12:49 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Europe couldnβt fight its way out a wet paper bag and even if thereβs budget and a political will to spend, Europe doesnβt have the military supply chain to spend it or the ability to produce enough to sustain the front line. Trumpβs behaviour is shocking. Europeβs decades of neglect is a disgrace.
22.11.2025 12:45 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Thing is, if todayβs board said we couldnβt afford to sign players because weβre about to upgrade the stadium, that would be fine. But theyβre not. And theyβre leaving us in the dark about exactly what their plan is, as well as their ambition and targets.
22.11.2025 12:24 β π 4 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0No. I donβt think the accusation was hoarding cash. Fans were more worried about the other lot hitting the ten and thought the money we did have should go into the team, not the stadium build. It was about priorities. Fergus insisted stadium first. He was proven right. Everything flowed from that.
22.11.2025 12:22 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 2 π 0Difficult to see how this is going to play out.
21.11.2025 23:07 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Itβd take a blanket boycott but donβt think enough supporters want to go down that route as weβre not in an existential crisis like the 90s.
But we do need a shake up. Itβs not normal for a plc to have so little board changes over such a long period. But Desmondβs ego is huge. He wonβt budge.
Yes, but years ago we also had an overdraft the board couldnβt afford and a bank that called time on them.
Thereβs no compelling moment like that on the horizon. Nothing big enough to knock Desmond and his minions off their perch.
The club has sizeable cash reserves and Desmond has deep pockets.
Tbh, our track vrs sides like that is not very good so they can have them!

I agree, especially in European competition. Very poor showing from our clubs. The national team showing the way.

Iβve watched those Scotland highlights a dozen times now. What a climax to a game! Superb attitude. Fairytale goals. Proper fitba!

I named that Tim in four!
A terrific player. Ticked every box - skill, poise, athleticism, attitude, intelligence, tackling and aerial power.

Absolutely this.
11.11.2025 17:34 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Agree. If youβre going to bring in someone like him (or the way we did with Ange), they need a full pre-season. Even at that, it was months into the season before Angeβs approach clicked.
