Abada, ability, discretion, memories

183

In leaving the club yesterday to continue his career in the MLS, Liel Adaba closed the door on so much for us.

There are memories to cherish.  That 10-man 89th minute winner against Dundee United, which made it positive for us to go top of the league next time out, for the first time under Ange Postecoglou.

His opener at Jablonec, an early indication we were into something with him. He is a big game player and that was most noticeable in Scotland’s big games.  There will be a Croatian household in the Glasgow area celebrating his departure.

His life in Scotland as an Israeli athlete since October was largely undocumented and I’ve no intention of changing that now. But he suffered an onerous burden. His discretion on this matter is impressive for one so young.

Celtic have had an Israeli player on the books for 11 years. You may be as old as Methuselah before we are fortunate enough to see another. There is plenty for us to ponder.

Thanks for some great times, Liel.

Pick up on Alexandra Bernabei next week.

    Any lads looking in could you recommend a pub or restaurant in Swords? I’m staying at the Premier Inn again tomorrow and amazing as it may seem I’ve never been there. Fook it, never mind the restaurant, pub will do.🤣🍻

    Beaton makes a complete arse of it again, this time at Pittodrie. Now, because of his poor refereeing, a key Dons player misses the semi-final.

  5. Prestonpans bhoys on

    Not surprised Warnock away, saw most of the second half, not football as we, or him, know it!

  6. Super Saturday indeed. Spectators and participants as one.

    I would like a bit of balance I fully support the people of Gaza but not at the exclusion of the hostages and those that have lost their lives on both sides there are many victims in this conflict both Israeli and Palestinian .

    Good evening all from Punters Bar, Dundalk. This is a great town, live music in most pubs and good prices. Quite a few Celtic shirts about.

    El Paso is hard to beat, you want to see it in the 80’s and 90’s. It was not a town for the faint of heart.
