Winning as comfortably as Celtic are these days, it is easy to forget those times when we struggle to breakdown packed defences. This has been a feature of Celtic games for as long as I’ve been watching. We have always and will always come up against teams who will put 10 men behind the ball and seldom leave their final third.
In most games we will move the ball around quickly enough for cracks to open up. The same is true for our main title rivals. Often, the league is won and lost on how well the contenders are able to overcome a packed defence that sticks to task.
Leagues are won by players and actions that set the champions apart. In this particular area, David Turnbull excels. His technique when shooting from outside the box is exceptional. In less than a combined 90 minute action against packed defences in recent weeks, he has scored three times from outside the area.
Low shots, hard and bullet fast, this is not about how Celtic move the ball or their ability to create space, it is an elite individual talent at work. When we are comfortably ahead of St Mirren, Morton or St Johnstone, this is of little consequence, but when struggling to make the breakthrough, David Turnbull is an outstanding asset.
He is still only 23, lots of road ahead. Talk of a new contract is not premature.

……………..
BUFFALO BILL CODY and his WILD WEST SHOW…..
I STILL have an old Newspaper cutting from around 1988, written by ” JACK HOUSE”, somewhere in my hoose.
When I read it back then, I was amazed to read about the Wild West Show being in Glasgow Green, and also RUSSIA.
BUFFALOs BILLS Indians were staying in LODGINGs in DENNISTOUN in Glasgows east end, while the show was taking place on Glasgow Green.
According to JACK HOUSE….the Indian Braves would walk from Dennistoun to the The Green each day for REHEARSALS and the SHOW itself.
The first time they walked along DUKE Street in Dennistoun, they came across a BARBERS SHOP.
This BARBER was also a ” WIG MAKER”…..and he displayed many fine Wigs in his shop window. On seeing the WIGS, the Indian Braves were so impressed to see the DISPLAY in the Barbers window, and CLAIMED that the BARBER MUST be ” HEAP BIG MEDICINE MAN”….to have so many SCALPS on display in his shop window ?
That is the story that I have by JACK HOUSE in ” The Evening Times” in 1988.
I thought it was hilarious, and thats why I cut out the Article to show it in my local Pub to my mates.
LOL.

Good morning all from Govanhill. It’s a fine day in old Glasgow Town.

por cierto
And the UN maintain sanctions on Syrian based on fake/false OPCW reports, civilians continue to suffer because US & UK want regime change.
The UN has become another irrelevant corrupt NATO proxy.
Good to hear that you are safe, TURKEYBHOY
HH
Notice Turkeybhoy still using false narrative on syria regardles of debunked drivel, blame Russia, what a chump. Only one country on the ground in both countries with humanitarian aid and Turkeybhoy wants to score political points ffs.
Buildings are crumbling because US/UK sponsored terrorists have undermined them with tunnels, easily verified with a little research beyond BBC propaganda.
Interesting that the Scottish media have connected Ange with EPL job possibilities, yet his name doesn’t appear in any of the English media I have seen.
They can’t wait to see the back of him. That way Bealeymouth would have more of a chance…
Fuds!

The voting doesn`t reflect my opinion but, for me, Callum McGregor is not only our POTY but is worthy of sharing a pedestal with the likes of Broony and even Henrik.
A magnificent and incredibly consistent player.
I always saw the indigenous from the America’s, in the same way i saw The Black Douglass, Bruce etc
Buffalo hunting where they killed the Buffalo skinned it cut out its tongue and then left the corpse to rot.
The buffalo hunting done in the USA was done in large part to kill indigenous by depriving them of their main food source.
Cody was a highly regarded Indian fighter therfore he was scum and lets not forget that not once did he ever fight an indian.
The scumbag even boasted of having skinned human beings himself
Buffalo Bill when he came to Glasgow, was a freemason.
I have no more regard for him than i do the freemasons who founded the Ku Klux Klan
If anyone is interested have a look at Sitting Bull’s opinion of Americans.
Also if anyone is interested have a look through site and you will find links to an indigenous site with free films both hollywood and indigenous made and documentaries about the indigenous from thier point of view
I like studying other cultures, i read 9 years among the Apache as a boy when it came out and have loved studying other cultures ever since
I obviously would have been as ignorant as to what a piece of sh#te Cody was when he came to Scotland

Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee says everything about Americans and the wild west. Blood Meridian says a lot too.
BTW…The Black Douglas has a monument dedicated to him in Teba in Andalucia where he was killed fighting the Moors.
Have I mentioned Celtic yet? No, I haven’t, though I did mention Ange.

Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee says everything about Americans and the wild west. Blood Meridian says a lot too.
I haven’t read the revised edition, but i would add Stolen Continents to that list.

Thanks for the info. I recently read ‘The Dawn Of Everything’ by David Graebar and David Wengow and the native American views on the European political system is interesting… Also in ‘Tribe’ by Sebastian Junger he makes the point that it was common for settlers adducted by Native Americans to choose to stay with them even when later on they had the opportunity to return to their former lives…
Hope you’re well, pal.

The muted response about Guchi leaving is surely cos he made such little impact in his time here.
Whether it was injury, homesickness or simply lack of quality under pressure, I wish him no ill for his future.
But to feel a real sense of loss there usually has to have been much given. I just didn’t get that sense.
from the Cody article.
I have read in places of the original Rangers and their founders not being the establishment club when celtic were formed, and instead the “scottish” team being Queens Park with all its foundations of the game.
Rangers becoming pricipally protestant when Prirose Ure signed a masonic pledge on behalf of the rangers and the opening of a Harland and Wolff shipyard in govan bringing more ulster east belfast migrants to the area.
however in that Buffalo Bll 1892 article I was struck by this sentence
“Ibrox was filled with congratulations. The club’s staunch friends and loyal supporters, Bailies Primrose and Guthrie, received a hearty recognition on their first appearance since their ‘creation’.
so had the influence already started ? was the rising of the celts cup winners at the end of that season, treble winners a year later claiming the glasgow merchants cup that Primrose cherished, was this a factor ?
fear of the irish but also raising their own charities contributions and indeed taking both charitable cups ?
mention of Cody being a free mason.
there is another article that the Thorliebank masonic lodge is osme way funded the exhibition and that cody had been a geust there.
history is fascinating.
The rangers masonic pledge was in 1912. same time as H&W opened a govan yard
