Todays other fitba.

Celtic are no great shakes so a big surprise to see them utterly humped. Hearts havent won outside edinburgh for 8 months but didnt think they would lose by that amount. At least we can smile for a few days at least.
They have only won two away games in 2026.
Both at Easter Road.
 
Thats an incredible stat. The deluded jambos had a wee reality check. A huge pity we are so low on confidence right now.

No way they will get remotely close to where they were last year.

Shows up the league as a pointless competition however as soon as the OF get serious.
 
2 men in a pub in Edinburgh, one says to the other “when do hearts kick off?” other man says “every 10 minutes”
And Celtic let them off the hook, imo. They could easily have scored in double figures had they wanted to.
 
I think Carrick’s coat could be on an even shooglier nail, apparently a dismal performance against a newcomer.

Bayern v Arsenal, another cracking game tonight, after watching PSG v Barca last night and seeing some of the highlights from the other games, Celtic should be thankful they didn’t qualify for the group stages . The money they’d generate from the game would be good but they’d be well out of their depth in this company
 
The gunts injury list is growing by the day. Lost 2 today, one of them seemingly a right bad one, and another hamstring went ping during the game .
 
Twas a good night it the pub tonight 😆

Celtc [torn] apart my gunt friend was getting a 7-1 ribbing as they went 1... then 2 down 😆
 
Vigo were class until they got to the penalty box, fortunately they found their shooting boots.

I don't understand why Scotland has never adopted / poached the coaching model and methods the Northern Spanish clubs have. Yes the Athletic Club policy of only playing Basque players is extreme but all the other Northern Spanish teams tend to be packed with homegrown talent as well. Lets just copy what they do :grinning-smiley-045:
 
Only problem is the spanish kids especially work on their touch,movement and game awareness. Same with african players. Every time i play them at 5s they have a geat touch, fitness levels and much better movement than the british players. Its only been in the last 10 years or so when the gulf in technique and skill sets have become a chasm. Why this ive no clue but the older british players i see have very good ball control and can play the correct pass properly weighted. The youngsters not anywhere near that level. Dont get me wrong there are still loads of gifted youngsters out there but for whatever reason they arent making the best use of them. Maybe its the coaching,maybe its whaes like us attitude or just players not been team focussed. Its soul destroying watching scottish teams getting totally outplayed every year in europe. Cant see it changing anytime soon unless we get the coaches to drill into the youngsters the need to work on touch,technique,passing and movement. The youngsters also need to buy into it which is where i think the issue lies. Imho of course.

Education, Barcelona & Basque culture - why Spain are dominating football. Lets just sign some Basque players then.
