A number 10

936

A journalist friend in Norway tells me Jo Inge Berget is a traditional no. 10, not a striker. We need both. Kris Commons fills the creative roll almost exclusively, we need someone to share the burden, but we still need a strong, penalty box striker, who can stand up to the pressures of Champions League football.

Best of luck to Tony Watt, best of luck to Standard too, who I hear have put a lot of skin in his contract. Belgium should give him a better chance of fulfilling his potential than anywhere in the UK. It’s head down and work hard time.

    Sorry to disappoint you, but I never posted those comments. Must have been someone else who was there on the night.

     

     

    Blantyre Tim told me who you were after you and I had a brief exchange. It’s no big deal in the general scheme of things that you are bald and hadn’t shaved for the event.

     

     

    But don’t infer I am I a liar.

    I’m surprised there’s so little talk about the promise of heavy handed police tactic to be used against Celtic supporters in Warsaw.

     

    The Dutch police took the advice of Scotland’s finest and it’s only by the grace of god there were no fatalities.

     

    Once agains Scotland’s finest have advised the local police about our uncontrollable violent supporter and appropriate measures are being taken.

     

    Would a freedom of information request from a supporters organisation find out what Scotland’s finest are telling/reporting to other police forces that leads to such treatment ?

  5. “One Flew Over the Cuckoo`s Nest” is my favourite film. One of the very few where I preferred the film over the book.

    That’s the most damning indictment of a football “journalist” in history. Written in 1998, and the cretin is still prominent in the MSM.

     

    If I ever meet him, I’ve promised myself that’s the first thing I’d mention.

     

    And he wonders why he’s banned from CP?

    It’s ok.

     

     

    There was zero chance of Kojo taking me up on my offer. He has a reason for being on here as a provocateur. I have no idea what perverse pleasure it gives him but it takes a lot of oxygen and thought from the blog, which is a shame.

     

     

    I would love to get back to debating with Sydney Tim and Neg Anon because, no matter how much I disagree with them, I know their views are genuine and not just said to annoy and get hits. (The Daily Record tactic is fine but let’s ditch the “not lazy journalism” tag if that is where we want to go)

    I wouldn’t class him as a back up myself. I think he is a good enough prospect to make the position his own.

     

     

    As for our transfer spend. I’m inclined to agree, it doesn’t look like we will spend much this summer.

  9. Cannt believe how the green troll was allowed to take over the blog today.

     

    Anyone who has been on here more than 2 days and decides to have a debate with KevJ deserves everything they get.

     

    You know you will get gibberish for an answer. If you are lucky.

    Oh and the heid he was on about was of the Auld kind. He was trying to educate him earlier and got a bucketload of snidey comments for his troubles.

    Your description of Kevj does not match that of the guy who was pointed out to me as being Kevj.

     

     

    So either you have the wrong guy or the guy who pointed out KevJ to me had the wrong guy or the guy who pointed KevJ out to me had the right guy.

     

     

    I cannot remember which guy pointed KevJ out to me or I’d identify him now, but as I cannot remember which guy it was I might be pointing out the wrong guy who pointed me at either the right or wrong KevJ and that would be confusing.

     

     

    For KevJ – THAT was gobbledygook.

    Naw. Wrong again Kev. Celtic don’t take anything from me. But over my lifetime they have given me plenty. Now that you’ve failed you want to redefine what being a Celtic supporter means are to suit your agenda on here? And you were implying I was obtuse?! I see all right – I see right though you.

    Quite possibly that is the case but I doubt that is how we do business. He was let go at 14 for being too small, which I am sure happens to many young prospects. The club obviously felt at the time there were more suitable candidates in the youth system to hold onto.

     

     

    These situations happen at every club. I would be worried if we didn’t try to buy a player rejected from our club in his youth but has progressed since, due to our embarrassment at letting him go in the past.

    The last few pages are why I don’t read this site a lot during the day any more.

     

     

    One attention seeking poster hoovers all the good feeling from each and every page.

    It is, however, always worth the effort.

    Not that it matters too much. KJ was at the event in Blantyre, so we can assume he is a Tim.

    Kojo,

     

     

    Aye, I would say money, rather than embarrassment at letting him go in his youth days was the real reason why we didn’t bid for him.

    Don’t know what age Andrew Robertson is, but we have two scotland internationalist left backs in the development programme just now. Callum Waters has already on the fringes of the first team and the boy mcilduff who played in the glasgow cup final is a bit younger.

     

    Probably with Matthews and Mulgrew available as cover in the short to medium term and hopes for the two young players, 2.8 million could be better spent elsewhere than on stand in left back imo.
