I see JIm Duffy's been appointed Clyde manager again , this is his 11th managerial Job as well as coaching roles at Chelsea, Airdrie and Portsmouth also had role as director of football at hertz .Quite a career he's had maybe the Sam Allardyce of Scotland ? .

Other story I read is that out of the four Japanese players Celtic have only one has made the Japan world cup team , Maeda being the one that was picked while Hatate and kyogo miss out , they must have some team when two quality players like that are missing out ? The player apparently picked ahead of kyogo is valued at 700,000 and is called ' Shuto Machino , his name sounds he knows how to score goals

Interesting. They might be a decent outside bet to qualify from their group. Germany have been very poor recently.

Germany have been poor and I think Werner is out through injury probably one of there best strikers too . Wouldn't rule out Japan anytime I've seen them they have looked good , quick and fast maybe lacking in the physical side though

Sevco apparently got 4 .25 million compensation for Steven Gerrard it's been revealed today . Crazy money when you think it's nearly double what we got for Mcginn .

According to a Luton fan I know, he's already been gone too long.

This was already done buddy on the managerial sack Race thread which kinda caught me out a bit as I knew who Nathan Jones was as he was linked with Hibs job one time . I had posted on it that he was favourite for Southampton job and poster said good "he's been gone to long " which got me wondering as I couldn't remember him managing in premier league , I then check him up on Wikipedia and couldn't see were poster was coming from eventually I went into songs and found out , I'm not much of a supreme or bananarama fan anyhow it had me going and past some time. 😂

l think it's quite sad really certain people can't go and support there team without causing trouble ,it's the genuine football fans I feel sorry for that get caught up in this and of course the police who have a horrible job in dealing with it, seems to be a problem that's on the rise as well , nothing more than anti social behaviour from a small minority that don't give a damn about anyone except themselves, utterly selfish and have no sympathy on anyone caught and punished .

Similarly, what is offensive about a banner that you want rid of a race that no longer exists?

If the race doesn't exist what's the point of going through the cost of making the banner , carrying it to the ground and displaying it then ? 😂

Do you think that banner wasn't offensive?

If you are a chicken farmer, possibly, because you wouldn't want to kill all hens. 😉

Rangers previously led a campaign to try to have the word hun banned, arguing that it is a derogatory slur used against Protestants, and one of "religious hatred"

It is not a slur against Protestants, but it is directed at rangers fans in general.
Thousands of Protestants follow Celtic and would call them [rangers fans] by that name.
"Go home ya huns" was sang a lot at ER back in the day
I dont imagine any Hibs fan thought it was a slur against Protestants when chanting that.
"Religous hatred "!!?
Coming from them?... who want me to go back home after they have been up to their knees in my blood.
As well as " not walking away" they dont do irony !!
Edit:
I note the guy responsible for the banner was swiftly arrested and charged.
Says it all, that does.

Would you find it acceptable for opposing fans to display a banner saying Kill all Hibees ?

When i was a young guy (60s /70s) going to Ibrox and Hampden playing them, i think there were more than few occasions when that mob were determined to injure and maim Hibs supporters .In fact,every visit!.
Stoning buses that were moving and full of fans, including women and kids.
Smashing bus windows with lumps of wood,goading fans to get of the coaches to fight.
Ambushing small groups and setting about them with beer bottles .Seen it all through there.
You could smell the hatred. This was no pavement dancing. It was frightening.
Surprised no one got killed,but i saw a few badly injured fans in those days,one or two with scars to this day .

Whilst i dont find it acceptable,in that it inflames situations that may be fragile in the first place,a few words written on a piece of cloth doesn't compare !

Yeah with the stuff they sing they cant really talk too much , seem to remember them causing a kick up about the " hun " word . Was once called a green Hun myself by a Celtic fan .

We can probably all tell stories about our treatment from Rangers fans. I don’t think the answer is to respond with more hatred though, we should all be better than that.

Losing over 5 million for the 2nd year running is a lot for a club planning on building a new state of the art stadium and a fairly hefty wage bill too , lucky they sold a couple of players or am I reading to much into this ?
