Abuser hypocrisy, United and Atletico

939
By on CQN BLOG & Comments

I don’t know what was said to Neil Lennon after the victory over Dunfermline last week but if it caused him to react I can imagine the tone.  The few visits I made to the South Stand during Gordon Strachan’s tenure left an indelible image of life as a Celtic manager.

Whatever Kirk Broadfoot did or did not say to Rangers fans towards the end of their defeat at Kilmarnock yesterday, does anyone seriously think it contained more invective than has been hurled at the player for most of his career?

The self-righteous indignation some football fans exhibit when an employee earning [insert a completely irrelevant figure here]exhibits intolerance to what would get you barred for life from any other workplace in the country is the epitome of hypocrisy.

Garry Kenneth, who is likely to face Celtic at Tannadice on Sunday, today told the world he will not be renewing his contract when it expires at the end of the season, saying, “Dundee United are a feeder club, it has always been like that.” Ouch.  Whatever Kenneth thinks of United he should at least respect their fans emotional investment in the club to be a whole lot more careful with his words.  Should make for a tense afternoon in the United defence, especially if we can put the big guy under some pressure.

Big game on Wednesday.  A win would fire enormous impetus into our season.  Whatever the outcome, the game will provide Neil Lennon with a guide on how to play in the hugely important month ahead.

    Hi mate hope your well.

     

     

    For me Joe Ledley is a must in our midfield. I agree he does a good job at left back and has never let us down.

     

     

    But it’s Izzy for me everytime. I’m not sure Joe sees himself as a full back & i dont think he would be happy to be playing there every week. maybe im wrong but for me that’s not what his game is about.

    The Uncomfortable Truth is Always Revealed.. when One Tastes the Pudding.

     

     

    In the Case of Mr. Broon’s Pudding..

     

     

     

    The Truth that is Revealed is this..

     

     

    “Diz Anybuddy Here.. Think.. that

     

     

    Broonie’s Valuation.. oan the Transfer Market

     

     

    Has

     

     

    INCREASED… since the Time which he First SIGNED FOR US?

     

     

    O.K.

     

     

    Ah wull mak is easy oan ye…

     

     

    “How much wid Broonie Bring in . if he Wiz put up fur Sale. right noo?

     

     

    The Stark Fact is that Broonie Has

     

     

    NOT IMPROVED, ONE Iota ,as A Fitba Player,since He Came to us..

     

     

    The OPPOSITE, May a Point oot… Emphatically..is the Case.

     

     

    He has Not Matured Well.. in Either Fitba’ing Skill or Personal ATTITUDE…

     

     

    He is still ..More Like .. “Peck’s Bad Boy” in Short Troosers.. than

     

    a Mature and Polished Adult.

     

     

    Na.. Broonie has jist No “Cut the Mustard”

     

    wi us..

     

     

    That is Ma Opinion.

    The great attraction that Celtic has for players is the chance to test themselves against some of the top clubs in Europe and our young players must be really relishing the prospect of a game against the mighty Athletico Madrid this week and the prospect of dicing with top Italian club Udinese in the future. These games have to be one of the great highlights of any season and no doubt should bring out the very best in our squad, beginning this Wednesday night.

    I think you are wrong about selling Scoosh & Izzi, Scoosh is our Captain and he will lead us to victory; of that I have no doubt. Izzi and Commons together last season were a joy to watch at times and I have always thought that the reason Commons form went was mostly due to the fact Izzi was injured.

     

     

    We need our Captain for when we play the horribles; they really don’t like him very much ;) because they are afraid of our Scoosh. It was shown to be the case the last time we went to Mordor, there was no one to Broonie them.

     

     

    We need Scoosh & Izzi & Charlie back and all will be well again at Paradise.

     

     

    We are on the verge of great things over the next few years; I can feel it in my head and in my heart. I am also extremely enjoying the side show by the Horribles with great gratification, whilst bearing witness to their end of days.

     

     

    Hopefully yir Pal

    “But, why.. Mowbray and Lenny.. are also.. Two Large Broonie Boosters.

     

     

    THAT.. Ah canny understaun… at awe, at awe.”

     

     

    I am surprised a man with your astuteness does not understand why these managers play Broonie. It is because they rate him highly.

    My dear,dear,dear,friend.. Serge

     

     

    Pal. Ah am feelin’ fine..

     

     

    which Ah hope ye are ,also..

     

     

     

    Ah agree. With that Tellng Point ,Which Ye raised, regarding Joe’s

     

    worth tae the Team.. when he is Playing in the Middy.

     

     

    As a Matter of Fact.. Ah Couldnae dae anythin’ else!.. For Joe,is a Great Success in

     

    the Middy.

     

     

    Howevahhhhhh…

     

     

    Since Joe ,has Played . so extraordinarily well. and with such ootstanding Success..

     

    in the Left Back Slot..since he was placed there..

     

     

    Ah think it wid be most FOOLHARDY… to return him,once again.. to his Favored

     

    Left Middy position..

     

     

    Because…

     

     

    If that was done.. it would mean a Disturbance ..in the Present.. and in Ma Opinion.. The BEST Middy Line-Up. of the Season.

     

     

    Na.. Ah wid Leave well alone.. and Leave Joe where he is..

     

     

    The Present Middy ,which Lenny, has Stumbled onto.. Inadvertantly..

     

     

    Is

     

     

    In Ma Opinion..

     

     

    Our Very Best One..

     

     

    Forrest, Kayal, Vito, Sammi..

     

     

    Yep. Ah am Very impressed with the CHEMISTRY, which that

     

    Line-up.. has Evoked.

     

     

    Ah am A Great Believer in Chemistry, ye know.

     

     

    Team Chemistry,is really. Whit is is Awe aboot..

     

     

    and that Middy..

     

     

    In Ma Opinion,of course..

     

     

    Just Exudes the Stuff.

    Re the game on Saturday

     

    I thought that there was not a bad player for us ,the bhoys seemed to approach the game with confidence and the correct attitude .

     

    heads up to

     

    Ledley

     

    Sammi

     

    Wanyama (a given it seems )

     

    Hoops for his treble

     

    and the bhoys at the back for a clean sheet .

     

    St Mirren have been playing some good football and TBH did not deserve to get nothing from our last game with them in Paisley .

     

    WELL DONE THE BHOYS

     

    hail hail
