Rode past our local ground Tue evening - the sound of a pre-season friendly leaking out. Very depressing, always sounds like the end of summer. Summer should be international tournaments, or no football at all.

I know what you mean. I used to love to follow all aspects of the game but so much hype, playacting etc nowadays that I struggle to maintain much enthusiasm.

It’s not even August and Celtic are out of Europe.
Why the hell are matches even being played in July, it’s just wrong.
why is it wrong??? got to fit in the matches some how and teams know when the enter tourneys, what dates they will be playing
Brendan Rodgers left and the Celtic board took the lazy and cheapest option by replacing him with Neil Lennon, it was always going to go downhill after that decision.
but it was still the same team and didnt lennon win 6 league titles as celtic manager before brendan came in??
Yes and that same team bombed shortly afterwards as for Lennon's previous success that was due in no small part by the absence of a competitive Rangers team following their demotion to the lower leagues. Since Rodgers departure Celtic have also sold/returned good players mainly Kieren Tierney, Fraser Foster and Stuart Armstrong and not replaced with similair quality.

I've just noticed you can click on a box to set up cup games within each league. Maybe you could do that for us @The Central Scrutinizer ?

Yep; tragic. *
*(Although technically they aren't out of Europe - yet. They still have a chance of qualifying for the Europa conference league).

Should heading the ball be banned? It would certainly alter the way the game is played and more or less eliminate any advantage of getting a corner. Any such ban would probably need a tweek or three to the laws of the game to keep the same level of excitement.

Much as I hated seeing Killie get relegated, tonight will be the first time I've ever seen a league version of the Ayrshire Derby which is a novelty. It's on BBC Scotland for anyone interested.
I reckon we will win 2 - 0.
