    It's sounds plausible, but I am still not buying it.

    I've been too long in this game to accept this simple explanation of this Greek Catharsis between Ange and Giakoumakis.

    We have seen a side of Ange that is not usually visible with the treatment of GG, top goalscorer the last two seasons, he is far better than an " amazing great option off the bench ". The same could be said of Kyogo, and it still would not be entirely true. We have seen Kyogo being preferred by Ange to GG, despite months of goal drought from him, and Giakoumakis being forced to accept fifteen humiliating minutes as a sub during the same period of time, here and there.
    No self respecting Celtic player would put up with that degrading treatment for long.
    Strachan did the same number on Tommy Gravesen, and it was equally unpleasant to view.

    Ange and the Celtic Board are playing Russian Roulette with this unsavoury GG saga, and rolling the dice on a nine point league lead, despite there being two more Hun league games and two more Heart's games to come at least, along with the League Cup Final with the Huns, and potential Scottish Cup clash with the Huns, before the season ends.

    It's a reckless gamble in my opinion.

    Have a wordwith yourself mate. 'Degrading treatment'!!!!!! FFS! He's a professional footballer not a * shelfstacker or cleaner working for minimum wage. It's clear that even when not scoring Kyogo offers so much to our team. Not saying Gia doesn't because I do like him but to say getting fifteen minutes is degrading is beyond stupid imo.

    Lol, you really don’t understand and listen to Ange even though he’s spelt it out multiple times.

    If you don’t want to be here, if you don’t want to be part of what the team is trying to achieve, he won’t stand in your way. Once you make it known you want to leave, you are gone. He’s not going to put up with player or agent ransoms on game time, Ange only cares about what is best for the team.

    Talk of rifts are in your head.

    Talk of Kyogo on months of goal drought, is in your head, Kyogo hasn’t gone one month this season without scoring.

    Talk of humiliating minutes is in your head.

    Talk of rolling the dice and playing Russian roulette is in your head.

    Player wants to leave because he’s not number 1, Ange picks the best team for what he wants to achieve. It’s not personal, it’s about the team.

    Everything is in your head, but the truth of the matter.

    English folk are more tight than Scottish folk in my experience. Especially when it comes to getting the drinks in.

    Talk to people from Yorkshire and they wear being frugal/tight with money as a badge of honour.

    Anyway, I’m out to feed my kangaroo’s in the backyard… I’ll take my snake bite kit with me because you just never know down here :rip_1:

    :fear:

    Them getting meals in is big. Whenever I'm out for dinner with folk down here they get their calculators out as soon as the word bill is mentioned. "I only had a main course and 1 drink so mines comes to £12.65...":87:

    I had a big mate who was famous for this. Funny thing is, he always spoke about how others were so tight, and never put their hand in their pocket.

    Even when pulled up, at the point of him dodging a round, he denied it and took the huff...

    You sound pretty upset about his comment there mate, took the time out your life to vent your displeasure about what he just said, needed to go out your way in life to let him know.


    Also, snowflakes the shitest of patter. If that was you that said it a couple pages ago, heavy hoaching Donald Trump thinking he’s clever patter.

    100% Ange could not give a single * about trying to get guys into a National team if it’s to out detriment. Facts are when Kyogo was ‘out of form’ he was scoring still. His goal record this season is dwarfing what he was doing last season, in a similar amount of games at this point. The systems been tweaked so the front man is focused on finishing, he’s less involved and scoring more. They tactics haven’t changed when GG has been on either.
