Hi Mr Bond, if you don't mind i woumd like to aske you if you have any updates on Ajer?
I heard he had a great start out on loan as a CB and was MOTM a couple of games.
Do you know something i dont?
Hope you all hoops are doing good!

{Ed007's Note - Hi mate, nice to hear from you. Ajer is getting rave reviews playing for Killie although I'm not sure how much he'll learn from McCulloch now that Lee Clark has left. At least he is getting game time in a competitive setting though.}

Likewise mate, hope your health is in order? Hit a snag myself but started on some new drugs that helps alot!

Ah ok, hopes they figure out the situation and that he continues to progress. Hope he returns as a first team player.
Future captain of Norway if you ask me, in a position we really need power.

Steam rolling with Rodgers, treble season?
And looks like your youthsetup is bearing fruits?

Whats your take on Klopp at LFC? I think the whole reminds a lot of Deila at Celtic. The high intensity, defensive setup etc etc?

{Ed007's Note - I was the same for a while, they changed my meds for diabetes and it knocked me sideways for a couple of weeks but seems to have settled down now. Hopefully your own health keeps on the up.
Rodgers felt Ajer needed to be playing games but wasn't quite at the level for our first team but he has been impressed with him in training and now with his performances for Killie from what I hear.
I was gutted when Klopp decided to join Liverpool, as you know I was a big fan of his while he was at Dortmund and because I never thought Mourinho would take the Utd job I thought Utd had missed a trick in not going for the young German. If Liverpool make Top 4 then that's a great improvement on last season, the fans need to give him time, I think a lot of supporters expected him to come in and wave some kind of magic wand to suddenly make them champions, that was never going to happen. It took him 2/3 years in Germany to win the league and that's in a league where basically if you finish in front of BM you'll be champions, in England there's 5/6 teams that could win that league. If the Liverpool support give Klopp time - and Bayern Munich don't come calling in the next 2/3 years - I think he will make Liverpool a genuine and consistent Top 4 side again and he could claim a title if things click into place and he's allowed to sort out the problems in the team - A GK is definitely needed as is an out and out goal scorer and be able to keep the likes of Coutinho, you need a couple more players at his level or even higher.
I can see the similarities with Deila, Klopp seems very stubborn when it comes to tactics and doesn't seem to have any Plan B, which was also the case in Germany and once teams had sussed out Dortmund's plan they started to slip away from challenging.}

Yeah iknow, and i was was gutted myself at the time cause it was painfull watching United at the time.
But think it all worked out for the best, cause i think (and allways has) that Mourinho is the best fit.

BTW: "Lord" Bendtner to Rosenborg. We'r up for an entertaining season here in Norway! Maybe not football wise, though.

Sitting at my sons flicking between the Man U and Sevco games and all we can talk about at HT, is how shocking the referees have been in both games.
I know they make honest mistakes every week and there are a few that a verging on incompetent (in England and Scotland) , but these guys - especially at old Trafford - are clearly up to no good.

Just switched it on and saw Garner boot the Hamilton player right in the ar$e. Absolute bottle merchant.

04 Mar 2017 13:50:13
Agree completely have you just seen the disgrcefull tackle by Garner and only a yellow card, I wonder what Smith and McCann will say that he got the ball and did not touch the man. The hamilton man obviously dived.

04 Mar 2017 13:52:27
Have you just seen the Garner challenge on Imrie? Beggars belief, ref and linesman 2 yards away and only yellow card. Stonewall red. Along with Foderingham handling a yard outside the box and their dodgy pen. All honest mistakes tho.

04 Mar 2017 14:00:57
Should have been red for Garner and it was a free kick for keeper handling outside the box. And it wasn't a penalty either! 🍀.

04 Mar 2017 15:59:06
Garner's a pussy not keen on 50/ 50s waits tills ball away before jumping into centre halfs hopefully starts next weekend put the fud in his place the floor.

04 Mar 2017 19:47:50
Rogan, unfortunately Garner is suspended for next week. Disappointing I know. What a fud. 🍀.

04 Mar 2017 19:56:43
Unfortunately he is suspended 😓.

Every challenge that Garner makes or attempts he is guilty of a foul. He lunges, deliberately falls on opponents, leaves the boot in or elbows etc etc. Every single challenge how he manages to stay on the park just highlights how poor our officials are.

To allow dangerous tackles to go unpunished only encourages others to follow suit. This takes our game backwards IMO. Whilst I thought his challenge on imrie was reckless and clumsy, compared to the tackles on KT and JF it was not as bad!

The benchmark has been set and you can guarantee the boots will be out in full force next week. Whilst strong challenges and tackles are part of the game, thuggery when you can't get the ball by playing football is how our game is viewed worldwide. This is how Celtic are streets ahead we can mix it when we need to but step it up when required.

@JFP88 - what do you mean Garner is a fud? Going by the Dembele calculator he is now worth £5 million!

05 Mar 2017 00:51:48
So we've left it a couple of weeks since our disgraceful penalty against St. Johnstone before we start bleating about referees again?

05 Mar 2017 10:32:43
lol @ UJ aka mr Brightside. 6-0 that murty is brilliant, getting the best from the players, should inspire confidence.

And then it will all come crashing down at CP.
