As both an Aussie and Celtic Fan, I was excited to say the least when Ange was appointed. Everywhere he goes, success follows. I couldn't believe the commentary around him joining, but I understand the passion for the club and the expected success; that said, I'm not surprised Celtic are 6 points clear, and I won't be surprised when he holds three pieces of silver at the season's end. The man is a legend.
My god i love Ange. How what a brilliant job he had done in the first 5 months, and now the whole season. Just think back to how low we were when Weasel Eddie Howe strung us along for months.
Haha, great video. One of the reasons why I like this channel is because Hamish was one of the few who did his research before opening his mouth when Ange signed. Keep up the good work
This year proves that you can not judge the book by the cover.I have learned during my life that a name means nothing ,you have to judge a person on what the do rather than who they are.
Great job Hamish, i have just loved watching these old posts on how they rubbished and ridiculed Ange on his appointment - As an Aussie, i have followed his journey from day one and regardless on how many trophies he does win, you have to commend and admire the man for his humility and demeanor in brushing off criticism and just getting on with it ..this will put him in good stead in the wider football circles and no doubt his stock will continue to rise both as a manager and a well grounded and natured human being ! -
Most of us love Ange in Oz, but even here he had many doubters and its only now some people in Oz are realising his talent, it’s obviously understandable that people in Scotland would have so many reservations about a guy that has never been in the mix, which makes it all the more satisfying to have such a pleasant element of surprise, nice work on the channel!
Bro, I've been a Newcastle Jets fan in the Aussie league for 27 years, 'Breakers' 'United' all the name changes 😂 When I knew Ange was coming to Glasgow, I was saying to my pals, 'listen, this guy's the real deal"!
I don’t know about many. But there were a few who’s only metric was winning…even though our players were shit. That’s the problem with Aus football. No one with vision running it. When we do get someone, they get hounded out.
Especially those of who watched Craig Foster laughing at half time at Celtic before Scott McDonald scored the winning goal against AC Milan. Then watched him criticizing Ange on tv about Aussie youth team. Ange showed his self control in that interview.
I chuckled at Charlie's behind the 8 ball analogy, when he said we were "so far behind the 8 ball" Being Far behind the 8 ball would actually make it easier Charlie than if you were right behind the 8 ball. Has he never played pool/snooker ???
He means snookered (as you would be if you were on reds or yellows at pool) and should have said that but he must be trying out new, snappy, intercontinental phrases. Is there maybe a cool way for him to say "I'm a pure bawbag"!?
We don't listen to anything Charlie has to say. He is an absolute traitor. He just jumps on the bandwagon because he get paid for spouting bile. Hail Hail
The day I heard that Celtic were interested in Ange ,I simply looked on RUclips and google. Pretty easy for a supporter to do some research, I found loads of info most of which was positive, impressed me way more than Eddie who. So no forgiveness for ill informed pundits and Kudos to supporters who took to him straight away.
For all the lazy journalism there was around Ange it's worth giving praise to the very few people who actually did their homework and didn't jump on the skeptic bandwagon. There's an excellent video of Gordon Strachan talking about Ange in pre season, speaking highly of him at a time when the entire media were condescending against him. Look it up, it's a really good watch.
I sat in the pub on the day Rangers drew with Hearts at Ibrox and said to my Hoops pals that this title would go down to the wire as Rangers could not replicate the previous season's form and Celtic could not under perform so badly. So it would come down to the Old Firm games. This is how normal people work out football results. And the minute Rangers started going further in Europe than Celtic - that put it beyond doubt. It happened in 2003, 2008, and now in 2022. Go far in Europe, lose the league.
It's no surprise that the "SO-CALLED FOOTBALL JOURNALISTS", are condescending towards CELTIC FOOTBALL CLUB as the majority of the "SO-CALLED JOURNALISTS" are supporters of a certain club in Ibrox!!! 🍀 💚 HAIL HAIL 💚 🍀 ⭐ ✊
I always thought an Australian wouldn't find it difficult culturally to fit into Scottish life and football, and had every confidence in Ange being a success here. Well done to him, the people responsible for bringing him here, the signings he made and the players he inherited. We Never Stop.
I was fortunate enough to meet two of Ange's best friends from Melbourne in a bar in Ballater and they told me that they had no doubts when he took the job that would be a success. Just shows what a class manager we now have, and I hope he stays for a long time because I could watch this Celtic team week in week out.
Nice Hamish- everyone loves a good I told you so moment and to the channels credit- from all the other fan media out there- you guys did the best research and were optimistic the quickest.. bring on the domestic treble !!!
be fair to Commons - he was expressing sympathy for Ange in that quote because of the shambles he inherited. He never said anything about Ange at all - his criticism was all toward the team/club at the time so he wasn't eating his words either
I didn't know him when he first got announced but I backed him from the start I can't believe how good a manager he is enjoy him while we can he won't be here for long he's gonna get a big Premier league job as soon as one of there managers get sacked
I remember my Rangers cousins on FB laughing about his appointment. Told them then they'd be in for a shock. They believe me now. Though, and this says a lot about how Ange carriers himself, they don't hate him.
To be fair, I think we all had our doubts about Ange, our dodgy defence and our unlikely prospects of winning anything this season, when these comments were made! Isn’t it a sign of how great a manager we have that he rose to the challenge brilliantly and proved all doubters wrong including me!
The big man has just gone about his Business in a truly professional manner never moaned or made excuses when his back was to the wall but by god he never doubted himself for a minute and all the smart ass big mouths who tried to put him down are now back tracking with their comments…get it right up them all …Ange will have the last laugh☘️🇯🇵HH
To be fair, I said many times (especially after the first couple of games) that I thought he was the s come coming of Deila. Never been happier to be proven wrong in my life
What people fail to realise is that Ange and his teams dominated in a competition with a salary cap so small it was ridiculous. He didn't buy his teams he built them with players that would fit his style. Didn't matter that they weren't household names they just fit. We knew here in Oz if you give him a chequebook and quality players to suit his philosophy he would be outstanding. The proof is in the pudding!!
I knew from the second he was rumoured he would be class. As an Aussie who watched him coach the national team and my team I support Melbourne victory. If Celtic get knocked out of champions league in the group stages next year I see Celtic winning the Europa league.
Totally banged how ange hS done best defence and attack.signings were crucial. Japanese players are brilliant. Other players great.if I was an aussie I would be very proud of this . Man.looking back is easy. Rest up and next season is waiting.
The best quote of your video Hamish was in reference to Kris Boyd after you read out his comment and then you said “thanks for that Kris you can go back up now” Very funny mate, made me laugh they way you made that point with serious and straight face 😂😂 Overall really nice video here mate, genuinely interesting to see that from then to now change of landscape and just how poorly many of these ex players judged the great man.
Being a Jambo out here in oz , we were cheesed when Ange went to Celtic coz we knew he would be successful. He was an inspiration with Brisbane roar where he had them playing awesome football and when he went to the tic they were all saying he would be a dud. lol the fitba purists tic fans didn't have a clue and now he's the best thing since sliced bread .just wished he had went to Tynie instead of one of the arse cheeks .
I was brought up in glasgow and I am celtic through and through. I moved to Australia in 1990 and watched ange progress as a manager here and overseas. Thought he was a great manager but when he was announced as the celtic manager I thought that job may have been too big for him at the time. But I am happy to have been prooven wrong . Ange has been great for celtic and celtic have been great for Ange as you can see he is loving g life there and long may it continue. Yasou Ange
I follow Celtic and I'm very happy they are doing well under Ange and more importantly playing football the right way. With due respect, we are talking about Scottish football. Scotland is small and relatively poor. Her team hasn't qualified for a World Cup for 25 years. The better players go South and don't play in Scotland. Most of the nonsense about his appointment from the likes of Alan Brazil flows from a bizarrely inflated view of the standard and importance of Scottish football. Someone who has coached Australia at a World Cup and won titles in Japan is overqualified for Celtic, not underqualified.
12 months on and even prouder to be a Scots-Australian lifelong Celtic supporter. Ange is maybe the greatest Celtic manager since JS. Hail! Hail! Don't. Ever. Stop
It's embarrassing the way Ange is hailed as the best thing since sliced bread. He's spent £24M. The other 11 Premiership clubs have spent a COMBINED total of £4.4M.
what a lot of absolute rubbish? Taking the transfers both ways into account which is the unbiased way to review this Celtic have spent - £11M to get to where they are i.e. they have an additional £11M in the bank and they have won the league spending less money than any team in Scotland.
Thanks Hamish. Loved this 👌👍 The Brasil clip is rude as **** i cringe every time I see it . Always enjoy wee nuggets of wisdom so frequently supplied by Hugh Kevin & Charlie Nicholas 🤣😂🤣 HH Hamish 🍀💚
To be honest, I thought the same. I thought it was just a panic appointment after the collapse of the Eddie Who deal. I didn't know who Ange was. But, after reading about his achievements and watching some interviews on RUclips, I already had a good feeling, even before his first game.
Like many other Aussie Celt fans here I was excited but also a bit fearful because of the state of the club at the time and whether he would have enough time and support to have an impact. The fact is he is a serial winner and he’s been successful again although quicker than many of us thought. Great person great manager. Now the club hierarchy needs to give him a longer contract and get right behind him. Where he’s had issues like with the national team it’s because of lack of support and vision from the suits in charge. PS my main concern now is that EPL clubs will come calling. I’d like him to have at least three seasons before that happens, and it will.
To be fair, Anges appointment was a bit out of left field, an unknown (to most pundits) Australian of Greek heritage who played in the old Australian league (certainly not one of the worlds top flight leagues) , had managed a couple of teams in the new A league and the national youth and senior teams then lobs into Celtic from Japan. People who have followed his career know what type of man he is and the love of the game he has. I would bet that after this year he is on the radar of all the English and Euro leagues right up to the Premier league as a possibility to be considered.
The initial negative reaction to Ange’s appointment shows the fear football fans have of the unknown. There was a similar reaction when Arsene Wenger was appointed Arsenal manager.
Aussie fan just with a genuine question for Celtic fans. Now you've witnessed the quality of Ange and the Japanese imports how do you think Celtic would do in the J-league hypothetically? Ange winning that league (and the Asian Cup with Australia) didn't seem to count for much a few months ago.
That’s an interesting question mate. Placing Celtic into a completely new environment such as the J league is intriguing. Having not seen too many Japanese games, the only thing I would say is that the physical aspect of a team from Scottish football would be an advantage, but, other than that, and, based on the current squad, I think they would do fairly well. If Ange, however, recruited more players from that side of the world, then, it could be pretty successful. The J League is a very decent competition, with many good players.
@@JamesBond-si7xs Celtic would always be challenging for silverware in the form they are in atm over there, on last seasons form Celtic would have been relegated from the J-league!...and I'm only half joking.
The quality of the Japan world cup teams of the last 2 decades has been higher than Scotland (understatement) but there's only a handful of Scottish players in the staring 11 these days. Another question arises in how well would the Japanese teams do against Scottish teams other than Celtic and Rangers. Pretty good. (another understatement). Remember critics always speak up. That doesn't mean they are the majority.
Having watched Ange's style raise the standards of the game in Australia both League and national teams I always believed he would be a success in Scotland (but surprised at how quickly). Looking forward now to the competition raising their standards also to keep up as Ange continues to build a stronger and stronger team. Can't wait to see what the next couple of transfer windows hold. Hail Hail
Just catching up Hamish , for some reason I missed this one too , yeah the egotistical jury and the snippets have definitely eaten there words now , and Ange is just going to put us on a Level we’ve never seen before , the big man’s quote ‘ this is only the beginning, simply love the way he handles everything, for me he’s a Top manager Hail Hail 💚🍀🍀
I'm old enough to remember 1998 a Dr Josep Venglos was appointed manager, I thought then WTF who is this guy, then he took in a 33 year old Slovakian for £330,000. I thought even more WTFs. RiP Dr Jo, thank you for a great job, and thank you for the brilliant Lubomir 'Lubo' Moravcik, one of my all time Celtic greats. Anyone for another slice of humble pie?
i had my doubts initally solely because of the lack information and the misinformation that was doing the rounds,Ange has made people eat their words ,looking at his persona if the board get behind this man ,we could have another manager of steins calibre.
These are all either pretty fair (focused on how bad the board & team were last summer, admitting they don't know much about Ange) or the more provocative ones are by people whose whole shtick is being a loudmouth clown, like Brazil or Boyd
As an Aussie that wishes Ange was still the Socceroos boss it seemed obvious to me that he'd get Celtic back to the top and winning by playing awesome attacking football, just like he did at Brisbane, Melbourne, the national team and Yokohama. Sadly I'm also a Man Utd fan and the cluelessly catastrophic Glazers wouldn't have even heard of Ange so although I'd love to have him at Old Trafford he's probably still 'too low under the radar' for real football experts like them and the Muppets that misjudgedhim from the start. To the Bhoys fans, enjoy him while you've got him as he's truly special.
Nothing wrong with jumping on the bus, but the revisionists should remind themselves that early reactions to Ange are recorded and easily available on places like RUclips. 👍
We play an amazing style of football my only worry is Europe we know games against rangers some they will win some we will win ange needs to decide is this team good enough for an impact on Europe next season but I believe we will get better and better ange coaching is world class
As a Celtic fan, this comes across as petty and bitter. I shouldn't be surprised. Also, quite hard to rub it in the doubters faces when Rangers are in the Semi's of the Europa Cup.
After the saga that was Eddie Howe and after Ange was named as a target I did some Googling and it was apparent from what I found that Ange is a more successful manager than Howe, he has won more trophies than Howe and has a better win ratio than Howe, at that point I thought why not, a new fresh face and ideology from an up and coming manager, so delighted I was right and he quickly got Celtic back playing great football and he is such Gent. Who would have thought this season we would have been looking at winning anything and here we are looking at a possible treble. HH.
I done the same as a lot of fans in the comments I looked up his history and thought he would be decent. But I’m blown away at how good a job this man has done in his first season, being left with a bombscare of a team.
I was guilty enough not to know anything about Ange, could even pronounce his name at his appointment. Once I looked him up, saw what he was about (the famous Foster interview comes to mind), it was clear the guy is a serial winner. There isn’t too much of a gulf in quality between the J-league and the SPL. Never wanted Howe anyway, shouldn’t have to twist a manager’s arm to manage a club like Celtic
Postecoglou grew up on a massive unrelenting diet of anglo-celtic racism. There's not much the Glaswegians could throw at him that he hasn't heard before-even if he could understand their language. With rolling one year contracts, doubt Ange will stay beyond the second season. The SPL is a two team league after all.
I have been wondering when this video would come out and Ive just seen it now. I'll admit that I was one that was raging at Postecoglu being appointed, but it wasnt anything against him as a man or a manager. It was more the rage that our board dragged their feet on Howe for months after keeping Lennon too long, then paniced and went cap in hand to the city group. Make no mistake, the board got extremely lucky with Ange. A pure fluke and nothing more. What he's achieved has been despite the board, its nothing short of outstanding on the domestic front this season. Handed old coaches, poor training facilities, terrible youth management system, a new ceo (who then chucked it / was chased out the door), half the squad wanting to leave, the club captain gone, the major shareholder wasting money signing a couple of dud irish players etc etc. I had my concerns early doors on Ange as well. Everything we heard from the aussie journos was all about "Ange wont change his style" "his way or the high way" etc. He has been nothing like that. He has changed and adapted as the season has gone on, we havent been all out attack every second of every game. Weve been pragmatic and ground out many of our victories, we have consolidated when in winning positions as well. So what we were told hasnt been what weve seen this season. Im not sure we could have picked a better manager for celtic that would have come here to be honest. Hopefully he is backed properly in the summer (the champions league cash and that 25million in the bank means we can afford serious backing) His hit rate in the players that he has he signed is phenomenal as well. Over to you Celtic board....
Love the big man and what has done at Celtic but is Ange, not the Australian manager who told Rogic that he would have to leave Celtic for the good of his international career. Anyone can make mistakes
Brilliant video hamish, all these clowns comments highlighted in your show do not deserve a second thought, disappointed in hartson but hey ho off we go 👍
When u see clubs in Europe give ex players a head coaching role with no experience its make me laugh when they all come down on a coach who's won every where he's been! Football is played on the whole planet...not just in Europe!
As both an Aussie and Celtic Fan, I was excited to say the least when Ange was appointed. Everywhere he goes, success follows.

I didn’t follow a Scottish club, when Ange was appointed I jumped on as I’ve always followed the Clubs he manages. Go Celtic

To be fair, Anges appointment was a bit out of left field, an unknown (to most pundits) Australian of Greek heritage who played in the old Australian league (certainly not one of the worlds top flight leagues) , had managed a couple of teams in the new A league and the national youth and senior teams then lobs into Celtic from Japan. People who have followed his career know what type of man he is and the love of the game he has. I would bet that after this year he is on the radar of all the English and Euro leagues right up to the Premier league as a possibility to be considered.
The initial negative reaction to Ange’s appointment shows the fear football fans have of the unknown. There was a similar reaction when Arsene Wenger was appointed Arsenal manager.
Who’s watching this in December 2022 and just laughing
Aussie fan just with a genuine question for Celtic fans. Now you've witnessed the quality of Ange and the Japanese imports how do you think Celtic would do in the J-league hypothetically? Ange winning that league (and the Asian Cup with Australia) didn't seem to count for much a few months ago.
That’s an interesting question mate.
Placing Celtic into a completely new environment such as the J league is intriguing.
Having not seen too many Japanese games, the only thing I would say is that the physical aspect of a team from Scottish football would be an advantage, but, other than that, and, based on the current squad, I think they would do fairly well.
If Ange, however, recruited more players from that side of the world, then, it could be pretty successful.
The J League is a very decent competition, with many good players.
@@JamesBond-si7xs Celtic would always be challenging for silverware in the form they are in atm over there, on last seasons form Celtic would have been relegated from the J-league!...and I'm only half joking.
The quality of the Japan world cup teams of the last 2 decades has been higher than Scotland (understatement) but there's only a handful of Scottish players in the staring 11 these days. Another question arises in how well would the Japanese teams do against Scottish teams other than Celtic and Rangers. Pretty good. (another understatement). Remember critics always speak up. That doesn't mean they are the majority.
We could see the team was working and scoring it was our defence needed to sharpen up a little, never in doubt 👏🏼
I’m so glad he’s at Spurs now.COYS.
Can we get more content based around the hot pants? 🤔
Having watched Ange's style raise the standards of the game in Australia both League and national teams I always believed he would be a success in Scotland (but surprised at how quickly).
Looking forward now to the competition raising their standards also to keep up as Ange continues to build a stronger and stronger team.
Can't wait to see what the next couple of transfer windows hold.
Hail Hail
Just catching up Hamish , for some reason I missed this one too , yeah the egotistical jury and the snippets have definitely eaten there words now , and Ange is just going to put us on a Level we’ve never seen before , the big man’s quote ‘ this is only the beginning, simply love the way he handles everything, for me he’s a Top manager Hail Hail 💚🍀🍀
I'm old enough to remember 1998 a Dr Josep Venglos was appointed manager, I thought then WTF who is this guy, then he took in a 33 year old Slovakian for £330,000. I thought even more WTFs.
RiP Dr Jo, thank you for a great job, and thank you for the brilliant Lubomir 'Lubo' Moravcik, one of my all time Celtic greats.
Anyone for another slice of humble pie?
i had my doubts initally solely because of the lack information and the misinformation that was doing the rounds,Ange has made people eat their words ,looking at his persona if the board get behind this man ,we could have another manager of steins calibre.
I would love to walk past Boyd with a big cheesy grin
I honestly thought Celtic showed themselves up signing Postecoglou. Happy to eat humble pie.
These are all either pretty fair (focused on how bad the board & team were last summer, admitting they don't know much about Ange) or the more provocative ones are by people whose whole shtick is being a loudmouth clown, like Brazil or Boyd
As an Aussie that wishes Ange was still the Socceroos boss it seemed obvious to me that he'd get Celtic back to the top and winning by playing awesome attacking football, just like he did at Brisbane, Melbourne, the national team and Yokohama. Sadly I'm also a Man Utd fan and the cluelessly catastrophic Glazers wouldn't have even heard of Ange so although I'd love to have him at Old Trafford he's probably still 'too low under the radar' for real football experts like them and the Muppets that misjudgedhim from the start. To the Bhoys fans, enjoy him while you've got him as he's truly special.
Nothing wrong with jumping on the bus, but the revisionists should remind themselves that early reactions to Ange are recorded and easily available on places like RUclips. 👍
What I loved about Alan Brazil’s clip was Ally Mccoist laughing in the background. I hear Ally is a big lover of Ange now 🙄😂
Ex Rangers player Ian Ferguson said at the time that he was worried as Ange was a very good manager
We play an amazing style of football my only worry is Europe we know games against rangers some they will win some we will win ange needs to decide is this team good enough for an impact on Europe next season but I believe we will get better and better ange coaching is world class
“If a man has character, then it’s easy to judge his deeds”…well I think we know what happened!!😅
Hamish, doesn't that stand for... almost made it home after a night oot ? hail hail
If you had Boyd and Nicholas in the same room they would struggle to have a conversation .
As a Celtic fan, this comes across as petty and bitter. I shouldn't be surprised. Also, quite hard to rub it in the doubters faces when Rangers are in the Semi's of the Europa Cup.
Hoops Are Mighty In Supporters Hopes.
There. An acronym for Hamish.
After the saga that was Eddie Howe and after Ange was named as a target I did some Googling and it was apparent from what I found that Ange is a more successful manager than Howe, he has won more trophies than Howe and has a better win ratio than Howe, at that point I thought why not, a new fresh face and ideology from an up and coming manager, so delighted I was right and he quickly got Celtic back playing great football and he is such Gent. Who would have thought this season we would have been looking at winning anything and here we are looking at a possible treble. HH.
Nice people talking football, what a joy.
Joe Melbourne Aussie
Also, to be fair without CCV we were shit at the back
I done the same as a lot of fans in the comments I looked up his history and thought he would be decent. But I’m blown away at how good a job this man has done in his first season, being left with a bombscare of a team.
Knocked out of Europe 3 times hahahhaa
Absolute Gold 😂Hamish
Haha
Ange’s
Magnificent

Scotland
Hugh
To be fair a lot of our fans were making similar comments in the early days
Give it the Charlie Mulgrew response lol
I was guilty enough not to know anything about Ange, could even pronounce his name at his appointment. Once I looked him up, saw what he was about (the famous Foster interview comes to mind), it was clear the guy is a serial winner. There isn’t too much of a gulf in quality between the J-league and the SPL.
Never wanted Howe anyway, shouldn’t have to twist a manager’s arm to manage a club like Celtic
11:30 thanks for that Kris you can go back up now (back where the sun don’t shine)....
Not many of us was expecting much in Europe with the team we had
I had Ange down to win two cup when he came to Celtic that is me giving him my backing also I told someone else that he was going to be big at Celtic
Very enjoyable. Ange = And Now Great Entertainment. Maybe?
keevins after midjtylland defeat : ANGE stands for Absolutely Not Good Enough if one guy continually has things blow up in his face its keevins 😂
StaunchBear1690 🤣🤣🤣
Postecoglou grew up on a massive unrelenting diet of anglo-celtic racism. There's not much the Glaswegians could throw at him that he hasn't heard before-even if he could understand their language.
With rolling one year contracts, doubt Ange will stay beyond the second season. The SPL is a two team league after all.
time will tell son
10:00 football in the southern Hemisphere..... I heard Messi entered the chat.
Davie provan was a tricky winger for celtic so he was one of your own
I have been wondering when this video would come out and Ive just seen it now. I'll admit that I was one that was raging at Postecoglu being appointed, but it wasnt anything against him as a man or a manager. It was more the rage that our board dragged their feet on Howe for months after keeping Lennon too long, then paniced and went cap in hand to the city group.
Make no mistake, the board got extremely lucky with Ange. A pure fluke and nothing more. What he's achieved has been despite the board, its nothing short of outstanding on the domestic front this season. Handed old coaches, poor training facilities, terrible youth management system, a new ceo (who then chucked it / was chased out the door), half the squad wanting to leave, the club captain gone, the major shareholder wasting money signing a couple of dud irish players etc etc.
I had my concerns early doors on Ange as well. Everything we heard from the aussie journos was all about "Ange wont change his style" "his way or the high way" etc. He has been nothing like that. He has changed and adapted as the season has gone on, we havent been all out attack every second of every game. Weve been pragmatic and ground out many of our victories, we have consolidated when in winning positions as well. So what we were told hasnt been what weve seen this season. Im not sure we could have picked a better manager for celtic that would have come here to be honest.
Hopefully he is backed properly in the summer (the champions league cash and that 25million in the bank means we can afford serious backing) His hit rate in the players that he has he signed is phenomenal as well. Over to you Celtic board....
Love the big man and what has done at Celtic but is Ange, not the Australian manager who told Rogic that he would have to leave Celtic for the good of his international career. Anyone can make mistakes
Big hello to my fellow Aussies taking big schadenfreude at all the nonsense comments in August about Ange. We knew better. PS vote out SloMo
Keep it to football talk, why mention politics on this?
HAMISH = Has. A. Mad. International. Subscriber. Horde. ??
The Kris Boyd one is genuinely delicious 🤤
Very sad to see how far Hugh Keevins has declined into tabloid, uhm, sensibilities. He was an excellent, measured writer with The Scotsman.
Actually the name ange is short for Evangelos which means bringer of good news!!!
Brilliant video hamish, all these clowns comments highlighted in your show do not deserve a second thought, disappointed in hartson but hey ho off we go 👍
Hating.Ange.Might.Indeed.Seem.Hasty... H.A.M.I.S.H 👍
🍀⭐💚HH
Knocked out of Europe 3 times before Christmas, what an achievement .
Imagine searching ex Rangers players in the desperate hope of a controversial quote😂 the obsession is rife😂 ps what happened to the treble?
When u see clubs in Europe give ex players a head coaching role with no experience its make me laugh when they all come down on a coach who's won every where he's been! Football is played on the whole planet...not just in Europe!
