Norwegian football journos I speak to all praise Kristoffer Ajer (17) in the highest terms. The 6’5” midfielder became the youngest captain in Norwegian topflight history when he wore the armband of Start as a 16-year-old last April. He’s a strong and mature individual, apparently.
Despite having made only 36 career starts, Celtic have watched him repeatedly, on top of the loan period he spent at Lennoxtown last month, so they know the player they are getting. The information I hear of him is all positive, but he’ll be learning the game for years, and for the remainder of the year he’ll learn what it’s like to be a Celtic player, something he’ll have little inclination of at the moment.
I like this strategy of recruiting and deploying talent of this age, a policy which has been missing for around 40 years, and has contributed to a similar period of underachievement in producing prodigious talent. It feels right for us.
Welcome to Celtic, Kristoffer.

WHITEDOGHUNCH
I think i will be aiming a few strongly worded communications to those responsible for the unrealistic amount of penalties awarded to sevco.
Shockingly blatant.

Excellent interview – clever young lad – dealt with the sneaky question extremely well.

Be interesting to see their total penalties from the start of their short existence, in comparison to other teams.
Im no math genius…but those stats are stinkingly suspicious.

That’s true, I was a shoe size 7 till I hit 51 now I’m an 8 1/2.
GG
That’s true, imagine saying that to a Sevc?
I hope they play him.
Please don’t sign players and not play them.

Straight batted it out of the park.
The reporter who asked the new lad about Ronny’s future needs his collar felt.
And a vice squeezed much lower in his tender parts.

Scientifically that makes sense. It would be around that age that your balls drop.
I really couldn’t imagine them dragging along the ground. Ouch!
It’s about time our club started naming and shaming the sternographers who ask these loaded questions, also turn the cameras on them, they hate the limelight preferring to work in the shadows. H H Hebcelt
I seem to recall that in their first league game as sevco twas up in the Blue Toon, the referee ably assisted them that day, without his help, I very much doubt they would have managed the draw, another I recall was when Berwick rangers were denied a last minute winner, it was a good goal, but these things even themselfs out, the ref prob stopped Berwick from getting sacked mind you.
And all the way through they have had and needed help, it’s scotland and scotland are the huns.

I think Kristoffer annoyed him by saying Ronny was a great manager.

Very impressed, especially as the young man probably hasn’t had time to be briefed about the……ahem…..

Shameful, disgraceful, yes – Shocking, NO!
It is what has come to be expected. Infact, it is so in your face nowadays that you could be forgiven for believeing that they were goading us all.
They don’t even try to hide it anymore as they have become so accustomed to the bias & cheating that, were they to Referee that game in a fair & even manner that they would feel as they were cheating themselves

Yip, cheating is in their DNA, but I dispute they are stupid, who runs the game in scotland, who runs just about everything in scotland ?
HH
Does anyone know know who the little no mark that asked the question?
I can never hear the questions properly.
Sorry about the double know.
DJ67
Its despicable.
Thems dont know the meaning of sporting integrity.
And yet nothing is said or done to rectify it.
And it is blatant cheating….from what i can see, statistically suspect if not impossible.
Silence in the face of this routine cheating, with no response from the PLC, mystifies me.
Its beyond absurdity.
HH
There’s a lot of balls talked on CQN today.
When it comes to “Glasgow Rangers in the championship getting a lot of penalties same as it ever was”, I suggest someone write a strongly worded letter to the SFA asking for an explanation. can someone say coconuts? Bounty?

Richard Wilson BBC, TRFC, Level5.
Sevco get a lot more penalties than Rangers ever did.
They get hunners of pens cos they are always in the oppos box, jeezo Timmy, get with the picture.
Kristoffer is 6′ 5″, and he’s only 17.
If he keeps growing he will soon be nearly as tall as AN TEARMANN!

That would be them mistakenly sending you the Sevco Accounts!

DId you check out that source from WITS last night?
Exactly what we were talking about.
The Glasgow Bhoys were ready.
Amazing stuff.
HH
I read somewhere years ago that the huns were awarded more penalties than Celtic in 66-67, and that the typical RFC1872 XI of that season won more caps than Stein’s all conquering record breakers. No surprise there.

Trip to the local dookit.
Communication on the leg of a pigeon, straight to the SFA.
Nae borra:)
