#CELTIC
For the first time in his Celtic career, Brendan Rodgers seems to be under pressure after his side lost 2-1 to Kilmarnock thanks to a late winner from former Bhoy Stuart Findlay.
@Chrismcqueer_ joked: “It is with a heavy heart I announce that the Celtic banter years have arrived.”
@Skysportsstatto revealed that: “Ten points from their opening six league games represents Celtic’s worst start to a league season for 20 years since 98-99 under Jozef Venglos.”
@Mstewart_23 added: “Celtic have lost the same number of points now after 6 games as they did in the whole of the Invincible season. Serious issues for Brendan Rodgers and the transfer window debacle is clear for all to see.”
@Glasgowbhoy tweeted: “90 minutes of side to side passing and the only out ball we have is Kieran Tierney running his heart out on left wing. Remember: ‘Celtic jerseys aren’t for second best. They don’t shrink to fit inferior players’.”
@Lawrencedonegan surmised: “When the manager behaves like he wants out. When the players believe he’s leaving at the end of the season. This is what you get.” @Jamiebrysoncpni gloated: “Celtic beat, Rangers well on the way to another 3 points. They aren’t getting it all their own way this year. The buzz is back around Ibrox.”
#LABCONF18
Labour’s annual conference got underway in Liverpool amid considerable angst in the party over whether to back a second referendum on Brexit.
@Peston reported: “Huge anxiety among noncorbynista MPS that Momentum-led opposition to new compromise 33% trigger for MP reselections will see it voted down by conference. This would see “open” selection back as option on Tuesday. Centrist MPS fear they may be doomed.”
@Adambienkov added: “At the Jewish Labour Movement fringe where Louise Ellman says there is now ‘a reluctant recognition’ by the party that there is a problem with antisemitism.”
@Simonfspeak asked: “Labour say they are only going to tax holiday homes not second homes where people work. How the hell are they going to prove people aren’t working in their second homes?”
