My hot take from today’s game: a fully fit Jota has the potential to turn Tounekti into an actual menace. Because Sebastian has the building blocks, but he’s about to be behind a guy who hasn’t really played consistently in years. And if he wants to know why, he should pay attention from the bench.

Scotland stuck in a weird place, we want to be more progressive than we were under Clarke, but we probably need to be more conservative than the new guy wants and the system is mental and the players not good enough to deliver it. Coat is already on a shoogly peg I reckon.

Matt @mattgdiamond.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

Don’t think Scotland can play with a back 3 of limited players and expect them to press super high, let the defence defend and press from the midfield forward. It’s been an issue in all the games I’ve watched so far

Matt @mattgdiamond.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

Has a professional footballer ever cleaned someone out, got rightfully booked and then just went: that’s fair. Then got on with the game? That Slovenian lad was pulling surprised faces like he was setting up a YouTube thumbnail.

I’m largely against the death penalty, it’s not a deterrent and this isn’t the first time it’s failed in either this state or this year from what I’ve read. I would say tho, anyone that survives two lethal injections should probably be considered Time Served.

Do you know why the 90s were the best decade ever? Because Richard Ashcroft sang about drowning a cat in a bag repeatedly, and that shit was stilleverywhere. That’s why! The Young Team just can’t get away with that. (No actual cats were harmed as far as I know).

Matt @mattgdiamond.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

Those 2 goalkeepers on the bench were really useful additions to the team tonight. Osmand being registered while injured long term and Jota not being in as he makes his way back. World class decision making. Might not have mattered tonight, but might later in the year.

011

Matt @mattgdiamond.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

Watching Cal post match is rough, hardly makes eye contact with anything but his own bootlaces the whole time. He’s saying the right things, but he obviously doesn’t believe a word coming out of his own mouth

010

Matt @mattgdiamond.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

The SFA are currently more forward thinking and progressive than the people running Celtic. Think on that.

000

Matt @mattgdiamond.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

How this board haven’t resigned on mass after these last two managed decline of the last few years is unbelievable, what level of performance is acceptable to them? Spent more on tax than we have in net transfer spending.

Matt @mattgdiamond.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

They were playing qualifiers halfway through the World Cup

000

Matt @mattgdiamond.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

This team isn’t capable of winning on Sunday, and even if they did, it’d only be a matter of time before another shocking performance came along. Benfica are going to tear strips off us.

000

Matt @mattgdiamond.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

The likes of Nancy would be getting crucified after these last two performances, throw LASK into the mix and we’d already be looking for a new manager

Matt @mattgdiamond.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

Hibs was beyond Maloney tbf

Matt @mattgdiamond.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

I don’t want to end up resenting him as he’s a genuine legend, but he should never have been put in this position

110

Matt @mattgdiamond.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

Losing way too many goals from outside the box, midfield poor goalkeepers poor.

120

Matt @mattgdiamond.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

This 100% gets worse tonight, because what you should be doing when you’re playing shite is switch to a formation you’ve never played.

Matt @mattgdiamond.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

It’s a sin that this board put MON in this position, should have had a manager lined up and let him bow out a hero, the modern game is beyond him

Matt @mattgdiamond.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

Who knew spending £0 on your already ropey defence was a bad idea?

010

Matt @mattgdiamond.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

So held fire on reacting to today’s omnishambles, MON got it wrong start to finish. This is the weakest, slowest team in a generation. Change needs to happen now as we’re getting scudded in the EL too. A half decent team with some balls causes us problems and we should be better.

020

Matt @mattgdiamond.bsky.social · 08/09/2026

Gimps is the perfect description of these clowns. People so convinced of their actions that they need to hide their faces. Absolute shitebags. I included the gimps roaming around Glasgow tonight in that. If you’re so convinced in your convictions, put your face and name to it you fucking cowards.

Aye, the Mrs offered to do meal prep for her and my dad, she said she’d already done two weeks in the freezer and has a high chair for the cooker when that’s done. Rest will need to be enforced for sure 😂

Cheers Terri, we’re expecting about 5 days in and roughly 3 months recovery time all being well. But it’s been a very long couple of days, so a bit of light at the end of the tunnel is huge.

My wee maw got through open heart surgery today - she’s a scrapper, got the all clear from the hospital around 7pm. Still tense as fuck obviously, but a few Celtic goals have helped release some of the tension. One more and get some of the new lads on the park.

I’m in tomorrow, but the guys I manage in Yorkshire are not, so it’s basically the same thing and I’m into it.

Buch of weak, slow shitebags. McCowan needs firing into the fucking sun.

Losing from 4-0 up, everyone involved shout be getting their P45s in the morning

Matt @mattgdiamond.bsky.social · 25/08/2026

What an absolute disgrace of a performance.

021

Matt @mattgdiamond.bsky.social · 25/08/2026

The lack of physical presence in this Celtic team is so glaring obvious on nights like tonight, weak all over the pitch

000

Matt @mattgdiamond.bsky.social · 25/08/2026

The back 4 finishing this game should be the epitaph of this board

Someone in my office has made toast, bagged it up and then put it in the staff fridge. Who is after cold toast?

Matt @mattgdiamond.bsky.social · 20/08/2026

Watched I think 3 Rangers games so far this season, mostly as I genuinely expect them to lose and it’s hilarious. One observation, how many individual players have first team appearances already? Must be in the high 20s/ low 30s. We’re like 5 games in. How many are in that squad?

001

Matt @mattgdiamond.bsky.social · 19/08/2026

From a season where no one got pass marks regularly to a night like tonight where maybe 5 or 6 Crltic players have their best games for us and maybe ever, what a turnaround

030

Matt @mattgdiamond.bsky.social · 16/08/2026

Been enjoying some A/L today by kidding on I’m a pirate in Black Flag, watching Celtic play well and listening to David Bowie - life is good.

000

Matt @mattgdiamond.bsky.social · 15/08/2026

It’s weird looking forward to seeing Celtic play, then they’re actually convincing. We’re moving the ball forward quicker and we have players who can create and take chances in line with this. I’m into it so far.

031

Matt @mattgdiamond.bsky.social · 14/08/2026

Here is my latest gaming hot take: AC Black Flag @ £50 allowed me to “girl math” that a new game this good would have cost £70, so I’m justified in spending £20 on DLC.

Matt @mattgdiamond.bsky.social · 09/08/2026

That’s me saw Novo, McCann and Del all gubbed in the one weekend, just lovely stuff.

Matt @mattgdiamond.bsky.social · 06/08/2026

Just seen the Hearts highlights, no notes, would watch again.

Matt @mattgdiamond.bsky.social · 31/07/2026

What are they doing not playing Raskin, genuine question?

Matt @mattgdiamond.bsky.social · 31/07/2026

Big Del, will he be the greatest gift to Celtic since EBTs?

Matt @mattgdiamond.bsky.social · 28/07/2026

Like Jesus, I live Springburn-adjacent and it’s went from forest fire season to monsoon season in roughly 48 hours. wtf?

Matt @mattgdiamond.bsky.social · 23/07/2026

Anyone who bought the machinations of a defunct entity like UK Labour as genuine change, when Sarwar is made a Lord for abject failure, but knifing his boss, deserves all they get.

Matt @mattgdiamond.bsky.social · 23/07/2026

Saw a snippet of The Commonwealth Games opening ceremony and is there anything more tone deaf than a King no one in Glasgow with a brain wants entering the scene from the Tardis of a dead franchise like Dr Who? It’s a level of visual irony that genuinely tickled me. A dinosaur exiting dinosaur.

Matt @mattgdiamond.bsky.social · 21/07/2026

I get ‘as Nolan intended’ is IMAX- but I can’t go to a movie without inviting my good lady these days, and she definitely wouldn’t thank me for this one. I’m in the habit of watching movies at home now, congrats on the anniversary tho, hope you’ve both enjoyed your night.

Matt @mattgdiamond.bsky.social · 21/07/2026

Aye, you’re going to have to have a certain level of suspended disbelief from the start.

Matt @mattgdiamond.bsky.social · 20/07/2026

Fair! I’ll watch at home where I can pause it.

Matt @mattgdiamond.bsky.social · 20/07/2026

It definitely seems a part of it, but the picture being used as the wedge doesn’t represent the character actually being played in that moment. Even tho both characters are played by the same actress, because they’re sisters in the story if I remember right. They engineered the free press they got.
