Which article? Only one I saw was the headline of Tom English's match report which said that he matched Jock Stein's record of 4 trophies on the spin, not a comparison of them as men or managers, merely a statement of fact.

You're either on the wind up or as deluded as Rodgers.

Ref rewards cheating to the advantage of Celtic/Rangers in a cup final - how unsurprising.

Although to be honest, there was the slightest bit of contact when he pulled his arm back, but to go down the way he did was shocking. We had more than enough in the tank to beat them.

But as someone mentioned earlier, the player shouldn't have been on the pitch anyway. But the penalty & red card decision shouldn't have any bearing on the previous tackle.

I honestly think referees in Scotland are very poor. Motherwell in the semi final benefited from very dubious decisions, swings and roundabouts.

"Brendan Rodgers became the first Celtic boss since Jock Stein to win four domestic trophies in a row as his side retained the Scottish League Cup."

That's the only piece in the whole article that mentions Rodgers & Stein.

It's factually correct, so i can't really see what the issue is to be honest..

You know what "compare" means, right?

Yep, but you're reading a lot more into it than anyone else to be honest.

Tom English has stated a fact, he's won 4 trophies in a row the same as Stein. That's the only comparison he's made, nothing else.

I'm pointing out that it's a stupid comparison, nothing else.

This is getting close to tedious territory again so I'll leave it.

Post about your own team for a change, maybe that way no one else will pull you up on your obsession with Rodgers and Celtic.

That's my last post on it.

We were p!sh yesterday, and continued our tradition of poor home support. There are a lot of factors of course, not helped by a ridiculous kick off time and the match being on TV, but we do ourselves no favours at Rugby Park. It's far too big a stadium for a start.

Wow! Is it any wonder Celtic can't compete with PSG and get utterly spanked when they play them?

The financial disparity between Celtic and their Champions League conquerors Paris St-Germain has been highlighted by a new report. Figures published by Sporting Intelligence in their annual Global Sports Salaries Survey show the average annual player salary at PSG is 8.8 times Celtic's.

I can see why they complain about life not being fair.

But wait:

Celtic's average salary is 17.2 times greater than Motherwell, whom they defeated in Sunday's League Cup final.
