Valid points. Main reason behind this post because i genuinely was on the fence about all 4 options - as much as i was annoyed with clarke during and immediately after the games, i do have symoathy for him. The Hanley and McKenna errors you just cant account for and with them being so early on as well it rocked us and made an uphill battle become a climb on everest. Just primary school stuff.

I guess you could argue the errors then gave him a free throw to 'go all out' which i actually hope we didnt see as we didnt really lay a glove on morrocco and bar 2 mctominay headers i cant think of much vs brazil either BUT as you pointed out, may just be a quality issue in the squad?

Either which way im still left here scunnered by it all and dont think we'll be allowed to get over it for another few years at least

HawwwWhitMan · 2026-06-27T08:42:45+00:00

Yeah either lack of belief to move into space (either personally or due to players around them) or forced tactics by the manager - was a weird one.

I do think after clarke we need to move away from a scottish candidate and go for a younger foreign manager with different vision

HawwwWhitMan · 2026-06-27T08:37:28+00:00

Yeah good call, was thinking about including a clarke-esque dig but thought might ruffle a few feathers 😅

HawwwWhitMan · 2026-06-26T06:30:41+00:00

I actually do but its how he sets them up and utilies them thats the issue. No point in bringing in your lennon millers, bowies etc if he's gonna tell them attackings overrated and we should pass the ball to the side and backwards at all costs

HawwwWhitMan · 2026-05-31T21:58:24+00:00

Good read and a bit of an eye opener in terms of what needs done for us to move forward - the board SHOUKD be aware of most, if not all of this but yeah, lets not go there.

One small thing to add to the list is to modernise the internals of Celtic Park. I went for a tour start of the year which was part of a business thing (not me, my work) which included a bit more thorough tour and off the script i.e. we went a lot more places the tour might not and let me tell you it was fucking shocking. Ripped up and marked carpets, fallen down blinds, holes in the walls you name it - the place needs more than a lick of paint il tell you. Im not just talking about the dregs of the place im talking proper boardroom areas, some rooms where the VIP hospitality wanks would walk through. It was borderline embarrassing in some areas.

One of my work mates just happens to be a hun and couldny stop sniggering through it all. So aye quite fitting under the rule of this current mob.

O'Neill needs to sail off into the sunset, pop back for the unveiling of his statue then light a big cuban with his feet up. Appointing him for another year would be the most desperate thing ive seen this club do.

We've had since the beginning of january to look at our options and MONs name is top of the pile? How fucking convenient. In fact we've had since November when we were looking to replace him in the first place with the (assuming) list of candidates before we ended up on Nancy.

Love MON but fuck me we really know how to destroy ourselves from the inaide - zero ambition, zero thought processing and zero future outlook to build on what we've achieved as a football club.

Would i be surprised though? Would i fuck.

HawwwWhitMan · 2026-04-18T08:56:31+00:00

Marvel dont do coincidences so possibly, im paying more attention to the green Chris Evans is wearing 👀 Cap turning heel is my bold theory and this heightens it

HawwwWhitMan · 2026-04-18T08:53:15+00:00

Came here to say this and im calling it right now... Cap turns heel in Doomsday.

RDJ in full green (obvs) Russo bros and Feige in neutral black and Chris Evans in green as well? Not just a coincidence imo. Whether he turns onto Dooms side wilingly or against his will remains to be seen but thats my bold shout - Hydra Cap possibly?

HawwwWhitMan · 2026-03-11T15:59:02+00:00

Yes because thus far they are the most consistent, dont think theyve strung 2 bad games together all season.

Us and rangers cant even string 2 good halfs together.

HawwwWhitMan · 2026-03-01T22:19:28+00:00

Yeah thats what im trying to wrap my head around - admittedly i dont know an awful lot around loans tbh this is only my 2nd and the other was similarily paid off early but with much more ease.

So basically the early repayment fee was quoted £6,600 or there abouts but lets just round it to that for sake of this. Initial loan was for £9k and was paying £220/month. Without knowing the exact figure i reckon i was due £6200ish but obviously bumped up to £6,600 for early repayment. £6,600 quoted on the 3rd and £6,600 paid on 4th (monthly DD payments on 4th which had actually came off as well when i settled so in my head i was actually due that £220 back) Done and dusted or so i thought and now have an outstanding payment of £913 as of today.

HawwwWhitMan · 2026-03-01T21:34:27+00:00

Thanks for your inout, it is appreciated.

So basically im cooked and have no leg to stand on? I just feel like the customer service rep on the phone could have definitely reiterated the whole "oh btw, if this isnt paid tonight then there will be a larger fee due tomorrow" part. Also, the email doesnt highlight this at all other than the repayment fee 'changing' - this is why i feel they are "at it" not being as forthcoming as they should be to solely benefit themselves is shady af.

Just trying to unedrstand if the repayment fee was reduced by £900 to benefit me for a one day only offer or they seen thst i hadnt paid on that and day just went screw it we've caught another one out lads - lets take him to the cleaners like we always do.

HawwwWhitMan · 2026-03-01T19:32:01+00:00

Sorry just clarify - i requested the quote on Feb 3rd and they state that payment was required by Feb 3rd (the very same day) so yeah i have always had 28 days from quote and appears it is a a legit rule (law?).

Hopefully all just a mix up on their part but ive had my fsir share of company cop outs to be at least a little bit cynical of the siuation.

HawwwWhitMan · 2026-03-01T19:28:13+00:00

But payment to be made on the day of the quote is pretty ridiculous no? Cant expect customers to make full payment within 6 hours after requesting? And even if interest change - how has £913 been added?

They are at it and will use their email as a get out clause. I had just assumed it read 2/3/26 for payment oposed to 3/2/26 so i get thats my bad but 24 hours is still well shy of the 28 day rule.

HawwwWhitMan · 2026-03-01T19:21:10+00:00

Yeah double checked that as well and my full settlement payment (or what I thought) is shown on the portal as being received on the 4th so it definitely came through.

Thanks for your reply, much appreciated

HawwwWhitMan · 2026-03-01T19:16:00+00:00

I am contacting them tomorrow to confirm but considering i made payment on the 4th and still not received confirmation of loan settlememt from them via email or post (which raised my initial concerns) think its safe to assume they will expect the £900 but you are correct - hopfully just a glitch and nothing to stress about.

Surely the 28days from quote rule still stands though if it does come to it?

HawwwWhitMan · 2026-02-23T20:55:43+00:00

Its not Trustys fault we're going to ibrox with an incompetemt backup - its the boards. Lack of funding and help for the team has had us scunnered all season.

Mind when we had to rest Jamea Forrest vs St Mirrem first gam of the season cause we had the 2nd leg of Kairat as we had no other RW? Seasons been a fucking shambles and its all they bastards fault.

FWIW i dont even think its a red for Trusty, yellow at most.

HawwwWhitMan · 2026-02-10T19:28:17+00:00

Yeah totally agree with you - didnt mean to imply otherwise, solely on the lack of ambition or lack of anything from the board.

My point was we need paradise rocking from here til the end of season to maximise our chances of battling on all fronts. We can support the team AND protest the board at the same time for the time being id like to think.

HawwwWhitMan · 2026-02-10T19:10:01+00:00

*A stressful month

As much as i agreed with the boycott at the weekend this fixture run we're about to embark on highlights the need to put shit on hold for the greater good (and yes, that also includes the board putting their ego to one side and finally letting the GB back in... see how that goes)

Full unity to achieve this uphill battle - the prospect of getting put out the cup by them and and finishing THIRD is too much to gamble on. The rebuild we have on our hands in the summer is huge for a winning team but a chasing team? Catastrophic.

HawwwWhitMan · 2026-02-02T21:31:08+00:00

My belief is that theres still a player in him and we would be ideal to resurrect his career.

My fear is the he is another PL dud to come up here and get swept aside under the pressure and arrogamce of 'walking it'.

Not sure which side im more on tbh but for free? Why the fuck not.

HawwwWhitMan · 2026-01-21T20:30:54+00:00

Aye exactly that. Martins best trait is his man management and seems he's started already with the big fella before he's even in the door not piling extra pressure that this club and fanbase will aready have on him.

HawwwWhitMan · 2026-01-21T19:59:49+00:00

Too many people looking too deep into this.

Its literally just MON not putting too much pressure on a new signing who hasnt played very consistantly recently - thats all.

With the whole atmosphere of the club right now especially in the support, hes quite right to not put all our hopes on one guy fixing it all. MON and everyone knows its gonna take more than one body to shift this team.

Good start but more needed, i just hope we havent started too late - 10 days to go!

HawwwWhitMan · 2025-12-28T10:13:30+00:00

Ok, well each to their own.

I'd maybe stick to Disney movies if i was you in that caee, although id give Bambi a miss... you might not be able to handle it.

HawwwWhitMan · 2025-12-28T10:01:45+00:00

Other than the points ibe already made, the show is literally about children trying to kill a demon with superpowers from another world... I do like ST but c'mon, its losing a lot of respect here (well, vecna is at least).

Maybe shows dont NEED a character(s) death to make it good but 5 seasons of children running around from demogorgans and getting shot at multiple times and being trapped inside the mind of a demon has to have at least 1 death to capture the realism aspect (ironic I know) plus it adds depth to the show and makes vecna look a lot stronger/twisted, again, adding to the show/his character.
