Aye, in the queue in 'The Spice of Life' at 1.00am sat nite/sun morn for a 16 inch munchy box with a side tray of chips 'n' cheese !

Chips n cheese is usually my go to choice to be fair when I dont have the mental capacity to choose from a menu nor the physcial capacity to eat anything else.

Did we not sign Alan Power who was the captain of his previous side and, until the last fortnight, completely ignore him in terms of first team selection?

Hayes only needs to look at Armstrong to see that if you are good enough you will play.

 

Poor example of a different situation that IMO happens regularly at the old firm .

Power was bought by a manger who couldnt/didn’t get the best out of him it took another manager to do that  , Connor  Sammon is another example

It really is odd why Celtic sign the best players from smaller clubs and then not play them. You wouldn't find Kilmarnock signing standouts from smaller clubs, like, say, Calum Waters, and then put them on the bench..

Except Calum Waters has played quite a fair bit this season.

You're talking a lot of shite.

We sign players who we think can improve us. It's up to the player to come in and earn his place regardless if he was signed from a Scottish team or Real Madrid.

If your theory was correct then Brown wouldn't be our captain and countless others signed from Scottish teams wouldn't have played a single game for us.

I didn’t say it happens all the time just more often with the old firm . The old firm can afford to have more “ wastage “ than other teams due to there budgets . If you can’t see that then you’re not very observant

That's different from claiming that the OF buy players with the aim being to solely weaken their opponents.

Exacty the guys all over the place. I feel stupider just reading his posts in this thread.

Then they moan when there’s no challenge from the diddies.

But they also moan when the diddies (occasionally) win/draw.

I never said it was the sole aim in buying a player merely that it can seem to be that to the fans of the club that sells that player. Football fans are fickle and can be blinkered

As for being stupider then why agree that it can be a factor in a post of yours ?

320 minutes, Hayes has played 562

I dont really see the comparison tbf, waters is 21 and has been playing 2 levels below. Hayes was one of the best players in the premiership.

Sorry if I've missed something but is there a point you are trying to make with this post?

[SilverWolfe]

Lol, yes there was.  There were three, but I had to get the wean into bed and forgot to include them. 

Haha fair enough

Sorry mate but have to agree with most of the other posters here. Clubs don't buy players to weaken the opposition. An example would be Hayes - did Celtic buy him because they saw him remaining at Aberdeen as a threat? They finished miles ahead of an Aberdeen side with Hayes in last time round!

IMO, Rodgers took Hayes to Celtic to cover his ass as Celtic as fighting on three fronts. It's up to Hayes if he wants more than the £££s his move has got him.

I never said it was the main priority just a factor which I hoped would be acknowledged but it’s not worth an argument tbh

Was the killie teams much the same?

[SilverWolfe]

3) We're witnessing the first signs of atrophy from Celtic. 

I assume "atrophy" is a typo and you meant complacency? If so I would disagree. Killie barely touched the ball in the first half on Saturday but were superbly organised at the back so we couldn't get close to creating a decent chance. In the 5-0 game we were 3 up within half an hour because your defence were horrendous and that was game over. For me both games show how much Killie have improved rather than us being complacent.

I'd agree with your first 2 points and would probably suggest Saturdays team was slightly stronger with 5 teenagers starting the 5-0 game.

[SilverWolfe]

I meant that in the sense of  " gradually declining in effectivenesss". Not sure if that's down to complacency or distraction. 
Last time round Celtic drew 4 league games in total for the entire season, and won the rest. It's now just turning into November and they've already drawn 3. 

Ah, I see what you mean. Had to Google the word atrophy because I've never heard of it before [emoji23]

I think it's a mix of the CL distraction and teams learning how to play against us more effectively. I guess the latter is just a natural thing in football.
