Mulgrew call signals primacy ahead of Efe and Dedryck

612

With the arrival of Dedryck Boyata, Jozo Simunovic and Erki Sviatchenko over the last 12 months, Charlie Mulgrew must have wondered if he would be offered a new contract which his current deal expires next month. Especially so considering how little football he’s played in recent years.

An incoming manager would be excused for looking at his squad and thinking Charlie was surplus to requirements, but, as we have touched on in recent weeks, the story of Celtic’s defence is more complicated.

Erik has been an unqualified success, but Jozo missed most of the season through injury, while Dedryck and Efe Ambrose suffered unfortunate (cough) spells of form. Charlie is a few years past his Player of the Year prime, but he’s a reliable consistent defender, who I’d have in the team before Efe or (Euros bound) Dedryck.

We have a bloated squad and need to move players on, but it’s no surprise Brendan Rodgers let Charlie know he wanted him to stay. He’s the right player to occupy third or fourth spot in the central defensive roster.  We’ll wait and see if Jozo can grab second spot.

    Gotcha.

     

     

    And we are all surprised by shit like this?

     

     

    Really? After the lives we have lived and discrimination that we have endured we are surprised that a council in Scotland is making it easier to be a bigot?

     

     

    Most if not all councils do the same shit ……………

    Macjay, when are you back again? Sorry I missed you last time. The word I got is that you’re not as much of a fud as I think you are.

     

     

     

    That’s good enough for me:_)

     

     

    ========================================================================

     

     

    Mate.

     

    Hopefully next year.

     

    50 th anniversary of so much……………… Lisbon , Sgt. Peppers , Steamboats ( Don`t ask )

     

    I prefer not to disclose too much .

     

    That way I can avoid the autograph hunters.

     

     

    Would love to meet so many guys including your goodself.

  4. Ha ha!

     

    Burnt out,

     

    No, I’m not petec, he is head and shoulders above me.

     

    Clunks, you didn’t jump in, my link is something from last week. Bloody shocking!!

    The dehumanisation of the hun follower is not a problem for me. As a frequent reader of their shite on hunmedia I have no issue with labelling these right wing Nazi fucks as zombies.

     

     

    They are sick, bigoted, poorly educated, insular cretins. Dehumanising them is the kindest thing that should befall them.

     

     

     

    And that’s all I’m saying today, so HH and goodnight Celtic men and wummin.

    Macjay, I’ll be in Lisbon next year so getting my autograph will not be a problem:_)

     

     

    See you there bruv

  8. If the mighty and humble Celtic fan had

     

     

    – fought on the pitch to “save” their players

     

    – had one of their backroom staff kick an opposition fan

     

    – blocked police from getting into the stadium

     

    – released press releases designed to infuriate the masses

     

     

    Do you think the SMSM (scoddish massively shitty media) would have run the same stories.

     

     

    Bearing in mind that our manager got attacked live on national tv (not proven at court) and got bullets in the post?

     

     

    Is this really happening?

  9. Shit i nearly forgot

     

     

    – tried to abduct a child on national tv in the middle of a riot…………….

    An Tearmann, that’s to good to miss. Next time you take that stroll up the way send me a good pic of that brick. I can drive huuners of huns mental with a pic like that.

     

     

    See you in in the new season pal.

    I’m not a fan or a hater of BD but he definitely made his mark.

     

     

    Come on the Celts

     

     

    The answer my friend.

     

     

    The Apple of Gods eye. The blatant disobedience is there in the World. Nothing is New under the Sun.

     

     

    Those taking people away from Belief deserve so much criticism. The hour is indeed late. They are classed as intellectuals. Be like little Children.csC

    Look out towards the sea. Can you see a man walking towards it, throwing his clothes off as he goes, in a Reggie Perrin style manner, carrying a broken hat?
