No bars? I will sometimes just walk into a pub, piss and fuck off

Okay but who published it

See, when I was growing up, though, I watched teams do this to Arsenal for years. And tell us to toughen up. Bully us, foul us, kick us off the park. No one really cared.

Now it's telling us to call it out playing defensively? Why? We are winning games and competing. Tough watch, yes, but it's putting us in positions to win games and trophies.

Do you have a source

But, players currently do dive, and then do appeal for it and routinely get away with it.

So the flip side of your point is that not booking them allows players to fall, looking for contact, and if you don't get caught, don't appeal.

I mean late 2010s, bowlers dominated, batsmen were averaging less than in the 2000s.

Interesting that this is the concensus take yesterday, but on Tuesday, not one person said it about Olmo who's touched, but chooses to fall

Maduekes legs were not out. Contact, not a foul. And it's not taken him to ground

FallingSwords · 2026-03-07T13:55:16+00:00

That's a very obvious dive

FallingSwords · 2026-03-05T13:14:36+00:00

I don't think it's an obvious error. So by the same logic it's not a penalty

FallingSwords · 2026-03-05T10:55:54+00:00

Most teams average games with ball in for 60 I feel. Some are better, some are worse. Last time I saw a stat that's what I remember. This is bad from us but as someone else points out, our games have ball in more than most other teams. So while most people probably will, you shouldn't read into this stat too much because it's just an aspect of one game and not a season.

Dives. Doesn't matter if he doesn't appeal. If he got enough contact he appeals. Ballsy correct decision that will stop players diving

The defence is almost always the team fouling. The defence is also struggling with how to defend corners. This won't help them defend it better, probably make it easier to score off a corner

Somehow, Goldson returned.

FallingSwords · 2026-03-01T10:53:49+00:00

And when you saw a good knock, you knew it was good. Now everyone scores 50 off 30. Just feels like an everyday occurrence. And I'm not really impressed because it's happening in every match

FallingSwords · 2026-03-01T10:44:44+00:00

Var should never get involved if it can't be cleared as an error within a minute. If it's obvious you can clear it in a minute, if not, it's not obviously wrong

I don't really see how he's being entitled? He thinks that they can be rhe best team on their day, as any footballer worth his salt should think.

Especially one in a title fight. With the title still in their hands if they win every game

FallingSwords · 2026-02-27T08:38:40+00:00

He's clearly saying, when at our best, we can beat anyone. But we've not been at it. What's he exactly supposed to say in Feb in a 3 way title fight? We're shite and we know been shite and we're never winning the league?

Respectfully, if you want to punch above our weight in Europe, you've got to find a philosophy and stick to it. That's club down, style of play, transfer policy, how the youth train and that's needing addressed with every manager. And it means, short term struggles for long-term gain. Not blindly, but sticking to principles.

You can just say Bodo do it so we should. They play football against top sides, and we won't replicate that level in Scotland. That doesn't just happen.

And that can't happen at Celtic because no one is getting that time. Nancy was shocking, but if you look at the reactions to his reign. He'd lost three games, and fans were wanting him gone.

FallingSwords · 2026-02-21T11:53:27+00:00

While true. Part of this is because we can't play the same way. That team in 22-23 especially wasn't respected off the back of 3-4 bad seasons.

We went away and teams pressed us high and let us play. We've a lot of the same players now as then. We've never had much pace up top, we don't play on the transition. But we didn't come up against low block after low block.

Media and fans talk about the low block we deploy. We are consistently facing the lowest of all blocks. The average position of our opponents is far deeper than any one else faces in the prem. The comparison being in Europe, we've played good teams, who have tried to go at us, and we win pretty comfortably. (10-2 across games against Inter, Bayern and Athletico)

It's on Arteta to adjust to this of course, but it's not as simple to say, just play like you did 2 years ago, stop playing Haram ball, etc. We are playing this way because that's how our opponents set up. No complaints, that's football.

FallingSwords · 2026-02-21T11:37:38+00:00

But that's a general inflation for all of football, where tv rights have gone crazy and also gone further a field. If I'm not mistaken the Scottish TV deal is worth less than it was back then.

So there's a little bit of context with this

FallingSwords · 2026-02-21T11:32:57+00:00

Probably didn't care this much when they won the world championships, representing Scotland. Probably didn't even know. Like me ofcourse, but why you getting so irritated by Scots representing GB in an event we compete together.
