    You’re a clean pile of shite and I assume you know are - folk willing coming onto another clubs thread to talk about their diddy grievances. Wee bit tragic.

    Not as tragic as the words in  your reply. I am a football fan .  It wasn't a diddy grievance. I was lucky not to be seriously injured.

    Early League Predictions

    in Scottish Premiership General Chatter

    Posted

    I think the SPL appears to look tougher than by ever before to predict.

    I am unsure that Celtic have taken the threat from Aberdeen and Rangers as serious this season. Also having watched some chaotic defending against Rosenberg last night I believe that their defence could be a major problem for them this season if they don't resolve this issue.

    However, Aberdeen....The team that puffs its chest before it plays the old firm - particularly Rangers - and tends to end up on the Canvas by half time ~(with the exeption of the Grand finale 2018 at Parkhead) They lost Adam Rooney to Salford FFS!!

    Rangers...They are the magical mystery box which everyone appears to want to see what happens when it opens. The managers is more of a Magicians Apprentice (no pun intended boys) I am just very unsure how Gerrard will react if things get difficult for him. The media love him but hey, we all remember other managers they loved only to wait around like a KGB assassin for the weak moment to murder the person. The players look a mixed bag. Im unsure the standard particularly if Steve G reckons Kyle Lafferty would be an improvement.

    Hibernian...Roll up Roll Up..The Circus is in town, Score a goal and they score more, but always offer chances to any opposition at any level. They were the team to watch on entertaiment value alone last season (and the manager was part of that love him or hate him)  I remain uncertain they will get the breaks they got last season. This season could be tougher .

    Hearts .. In my opinion the dullest team in the league - with the exception of an occasional  lighting bolt (4-0) - they have the dullest manager and certainly the most arrogant one. Mid table dullness again this season with little spark now and then.

    Kilmarnock. Can Steve Clarke continue to push his miracle forward and get Kilmarnock into Europe. A tough ask. What would happen if they fall into a slump? How would the fans and board react. I like Steve Clarke and hope that he can continue the form but I just have a few doubts.

    Motherwell... Another team who can hold their own on their day and certainly in the Cup can be very intimidating to play against. Can Steven Robinson transform the cup form of last season into consistent league form? 

    St.johnstone They appear to have reached "Peak Perth" in my opinrion. The signing of Tony Watt is a gamble. He had immense talent as a youngster, but it went to his head and it appears  its still in his head.. I think they are going to struggle this year. 

    Dundee.. Wee Neil wears his heart on his sleeve, but this I think doesn't always do him, his players or his team any favours. However he kept them up when a bottom two finish looked a near certainty last season,

    Hamilton Accies.. Come on, every pundit and his dog will be predicting relagation or a play off finish for them, but year on year they manage to stay up. Can they do it again?? Who am I to say they cannot.

    St.Mirren.. They were great in the Championship and were very worthy winners, I am very unsure that Alan Stubbs is the right fit as manager. Not too many inspiring signings. It will be difficult for them but if they display the same hunger and unity as they did in the Championship then I see no reason why they cannot emulate Hamilton and stay up.

    Livingston,, They lost big Hoppy - did he ever get a dream club?? - and that is going to be felt quite badly. They really were the impossible team over the past two seasons .. Can they be the impossible team once more?
