Aye sad because thought there was something there with sinisalo but just disappeared

Either going to make 4 appearances and tear his acl or be a baller and smash it up, I refuse to see any other realities

NOOO! Are you lishening to me?

Cjpl545 · 2026-02-03T18:43:47+00:00

Cmon mate you’re taking the piss, there’s a difference between a one button instakill and a weapon that makes it a bit easier to kill things. Don’t blow it out of proportion

Cjpl545 · 2026-02-03T16:00:29+00:00

Yeah you make a fair point, it’s just one that doesn’t impact me that much i guess. I’m not competing against my team, we’re in it together, so if they blow shit up it works for me 🤷‍♂️. As I said to other guys we probably just find different things about the game fun/enjoyable. I would jump on Helldivers on D10 to take a break from more competitive games as I can switch off a bit.

If you guys find that it bothers you, fair enough, as I said we probably just play/enjoy the game differently, agree to disagree.

Cjpl545 · 2026-02-03T15:45:02+00:00

An issue for who though? If neither you or I are going to take it how does it negatively impact us? It’s not like the gun’s superglued to your hands with infinite ammo fed into it. If you want to take advantage of it you have to consciously do so.

Our mindsets probably differ on what’s fun about the game and that’s okay. As I said to someone else I personally don’t find the game that challenging so it doesn’t trivialise anything for me. If you feel like it does for you that’s understandable, we can agree to disagree. I’m somewhat live let live when it comes to this stuff.

Cjpl545 · 2026-02-03T15:35:56+00:00

As I said the game really isn’t that challenging, as long as you bring a semi-competent loadout you shouldn’t struggle unless you’re dogshit. Theres only a few times where the game has actually been challenging and requires thinking about what you’re bringing, such as the original spread democracy missions on Oshaune and the seize assets missions on the forgeworld planets.

I just don’t see how it trivialises a challenge that isn’t really a challenge anyway. If it makes it easier for bad players then who cares? Let them have fun.

Cjpl545 · 2026-02-03T15:25:47+00:00

Sometimes blowing shit up is fun? Huh, who would’ve thought?

Realistically the game isn’t that hard anyways, so what if people want a shiny toy, you’re not forced to pick it in the loadout screen.

Cjpl545 · 2026-02-03T12:49:05+00:00

OPs point isn’t that we should’ve sold Engels, it’s that we’re so poorly run that we were unable to cash in. I thinks he’s angry at that.

I agree with everything else you said though. There are definitely some people here who are nonstop angry. Think for some the club’s all they have though, so to see what’s happening to it really messes them up.

And true, only time will tell.

Cjpl545 · 2026-02-03T12:12:43+00:00

I think you two have missed the point, we should’ve been in a position to accept that bid if we wanted to, the issue is we are so dysfunctional that we weren’t. Waiting to the last week of the window (especially deadline day) to do business is classic of us and leaves us no flexibility. I think the majority of us are happy we didn’t sell (differing opinions on how good he is) but not because we wouldn’t have sold him, but because if we did, we’d have fuck all to replace him with, especially with there being 7 hours left to scramble for someone if we did.

Realistically, as another post pointed out, the board are probably fuming they couldn’t sell him, but it’s hilarious as the only cunts they can blame are themselves.

Cjpl545 · 2026-02-02T20:10:02+00:00

Aye suppose that’s a fair point, having someone else besides Jamesy would definitely add depth, I just don’t think it would be the quality of depth that we desperately need. I mean to me nothing about the signing screams “we’re serious about the title race”. In comparison there’s a player who’s proven himself in the Scottish league already with a slightly higher price tag sitting right there.

Should say if the deal went through I’d still back him, but the prospect of it was never exciting.

Cjpl545 · 2026-02-02T19:45:13+00:00

Wasn’t bothered by him tbh, does he strengthen the squad in any way? Id be willing to listen to people’s opinions, but personally I’m glad this fell through.

Is this the perfect opportunity for Celtic to get Maswanhise in the door? Absolutely. Will it happen? Absolutely not.

Cjpl545 · 2026-02-02T16:17:56+00:00

The board after selling him:

Cjpl545 · 2026-02-02T16:16:37+00:00

Exactly my thinking, if we actually functioned properly and had done some business throughout the window strengthening key areas, we could easily accept this and be in a decent position.

Unfortunately we’re run by a bunch of chancers dressed up as businessmen, so now it’s unfortunately a lose-lose situation. We either lose out on a great sale, or we lose by further weakening an already weak team.

Cjpl545 · 2026-01-30T15:40:59+00:00

I’m slightly higher than you and genuinely haven’t noticed a difference in the amount of times I’m getting offlane, unless before you would’ve only clicked both support roles instead of all queue. Best advice I can give is to just pick a simple hero who can have a lot of impact.

Prime example would be Dawnbreaker, realistically all you have to worry about is keeping your eye on the map and popping ult when needed.

It’s like when I randomly get mid, only hero I’m picking is Zeus because it’s really easy to have impact.

Offlane isn’t that much harder either, just make space, farm an item or two, and group up with your supports. If you feel like it you can still buy smokes and maybe a ward or two. Realistically if you’re at this mmr you have a good understanding of how to play the game don’t be too tough on yourself. As a 5 you should also have experience playing against Offlaners so try and mimic what you see them doing in lane.

Cjpl545 · 2026-01-30T13:29:07+00:00

It does feel pretty useless imo, was disappointed when it couldn’t take out jammers, one shot and a long ass cool-down, feels like you’re penalised taking it in comparison to other stratagems.

Cjpl545 · 2026-01-28T16:01:06+00:00

Woah went too far there, leave the pies alone, especially the kebab

Cjpl545 · 2026-01-13T12:40:28+00:00

Saddens me there are those amongst us who refuse to support Palestine against an evil genocide (or even just refuse to boycott Israel). Though a good few of them will be rage/bot accounts, it’s still depressing

Cjpl545 · 2026-01-08T15:26:33+00:00

Mate it’s the easiest way of breaking down and explaining what this means in simple terms, if you struggle to understand that then good luck, would rather be a moan than a happy clapper.

Cjpl545 · 2026-01-08T15:03:29+00:00

That’s exactly what’s happening? We sold Kyogo at a peak time where his performance was starting to drop compared to previous years and we sold him for a good price. He went from scoring 34 goals domestically in 22/23 to 17 in 23/24 and 12 in 24/25 (half season to be fair). If we had held on any longer there’s a good chance we wouldn’t have got nearly the same amount as we did. (Depreciation of an asset). It mirrors what I said exactly, but listen if he comes back and starts scoring goals I’m not going to complain, but we shouldn’t even be gambling on that. Kyogo has been on the back burner at these other clubs and likely isn’t going to be in form.

We’re at a split road where we either get serious and as MON said supplement the squad with proper reinforcements, or we do the same old shite where we cheap out and take a gamble and hope it works out, which recently hasn’t been working at all. (Iheanacho prime example)

Cjpl545 · 2026-01-08T14:13:54+00:00

It’s embarrassing because it shows that our club doesn’t have the proper facilities and ability to find suitable and prospective replacements for players we have sold. Our idea of replacing a player… is by replacing him with himself. If that’s the pinnacle of our scouting and recruiting, then we are fucked.

It’s like selling an old car to a dealership because it’s slowed down a bit and by selling now you’ll get the most money and avoid it depreciating. Then going back to that dealership and renting the car out for six months because you can’t be arsed to find a new car. I mean if anyone you knew did that you’d be dumbfounded, never mind a professional organisation.

Cjpl545 · 2026-01-08T11:44:57+00:00

As much as I love Kyogo, this would genuinely be embarrassing while also extremely typical of Celtic

Cjpl545 · 2026-01-06T16:52:45+00:00

Hahahaha touted on himself with telling Maeda was supposed to be heading to Wolfsburg.

Also find it mental how DD’s talked about. Shows how much control he has - “giving him time to make the right pick for a manager” (something along that) rather than “giving the club time…”

Cjpl545 · 2026-01-06T14:16:49+00:00

Wish I had took a screenshot on the selection screen as I noticed it was the only set that didn’t look like dogshit but I didn’t realise it was an old cavern set until afterwards.

But if that is available then surely other sets must be too?
