@Thrillho Ah yeah, that's right I remember hearing about it on the radio.

At least they no longer have to play their home games at some random stadium now!

Still don't know how some of these owners take charge of these clubs. Makes a bit of a mockery of the "fit and proper person test"!

@JohnnyShoulder The worst part with Coventry’s owners was the year they put the club into administration and then a subsidiary of that company then bought the club.

Massively dodgy all round but the FA don’t care.

@Thrillho Yeah I worked for a company that went into administration before. Not good times.

I'm kinda liking the ref's this season, in letting the games flow a bit more. Much better than the stop/start there has been over the last couple or so seasons.

In the Burnley v Leeds match there were a few tasty tackles! I quite liked it, but I'm a bit old skool like that.

@kevilc up here in Manchester we refer to games against a Steve Bruce side as a Brucie Bonus haha. I could be wrong but I don't think he's ever beaten us (United) since leaving

That doesn't look good for young lad Elliott playing for Liverpool. Hope he makes a quick and full recovery.

@JohnnyShoulder yeah especially as his career was getting early momentum as well. He looks decent enough and age is on his side so I'm sure he'll be fine eventually. Felt sorry for the Leeds player as well.

Losing 4-3 against Betis in the Europa League is the most Celtic thing ever. Can’t say it’s not interesting to be a fan.

How about some gridiron huh ? no ? ok .

@kevilc I quite honestly would have bet against Celtic if I was a betting man. The Tony Macaroni Arena is our kryptonite.

@nessisonett that's the best name for a stadium I've ever heard! Did an 8 year old name it?

Anyone else find Moyes penalty taker substitution really funny? Yeah, club legend, best penalty taker to save the day... Damn.

@BowTiesAreCool Tony Macaroni is like a mid-tier restaurant chain. Like calling your stadium the Frankie & Benny’s Arena.

That Brentford v Liverpool game was a cracker. Just two teams going for it and trying to win the game. Lovely stuff.

Glen Kamara booed by a stadium of schoolchildren due to Sparta Prague’s adult fans being barred for racist abuse of a Monaco player. Kids under 14 booing Kamara every touch of the ball because he was a victim of racial abuse by the other team in Prague. UEFA need to do more to stamp this sh*te out, when even Celtic fans are standing in solidarity with him despite being a Rangers player then you know it’s bad.

@nessisonett Yeah UEFA and FIFA need to do more, as what they are currently doing is clearly not working. Unfortunately it is also a problem with society in some countries, so there is only so much they can do. But they can lead by example I suppose and hope the message eventually gets through.

@nessisonett Sparta respond with a statement that is essentially;

@Thrillho I don’t even have any words for that. Bloody hell.

Scotland are playing Israel tonight for what feels like the millionth time in a couple of years. I’m gonna say a 1-1 draw. Zahavi’s a scary scary boi when it comes to international goals.
