Watching elite-level Champions League football this week has been a sobering experience and a lesson on how steep the road ahead is. It is a given that we cannot afford the flashes of skill players who get to semi-final level possess, but so much of the football this midweek has been about players making good decisions, something you might expect any top-level player is capable of.
The modern game is all about space and movement. Players make short runs in order to pull defenders out of position and create space for a teammate to make a simple pass. The core requirements here are stamina – necessary for perpetual movement, an adequate ability to pass and control the ball, and excellent game intelligence.
Clever players achieve great things with basic technique. In Scotland, a team full of players like this would clean up.

Brilliant video. What a player!
Thanks for posting.
Has anyone read the comments on YouTube? (Old) Rangers fans, Leeds fans and a Juve fan all saying he was undoubtedly the best player they ever saw play in real life and one of the best there was.

Well done pal! You’ve earned those drinks. That’s for sure.
😃👍🏆
and some were worried about how Celtic would be viewed around the world with regards the Palestinian flags…Channel 4 news report from one of the university campuses in USA – 1 guy wearing the hoops (adidas), another interviwed wearing a black Adidas Celtic tracksuit top..
Stop the Gencide now…
Evening all.
DAVID66
Well done big (not so ) fella.

One thing that kind of surprised me watching back on that Jinky montage was his speed. He just seemed to glide over the ground so gracefully. So many of the defenders just gave up as he passed them, or in many cases fouled him, but the wee man just got up and went at it again. What an entertainer.

And how brave he was. He knew he was getting assaulted a lot of the times when he drifted past players, but he kept on going and taking them on. Massive heart to keep at it.
Absolute legend!
Imagine him on the pitches today with the protection from the UEFA refs (as we know he’d get no protection in Scotland). He’d be up there with Messi.
😃👍🇮🇪🍀🏆

Thanks guys.
B2B – Slimming world meals, not done 1 exercise yet (waiting for knee first).
It really has been quite easy.
The meals are actually OK.
Plus my good lady
Is following their menus and making her own healthy meals for us.
She does not need to loose any weight unlike this fat bassa.
I want to loose another 3 stone.

David66
If you lose another 3 stone you’ll be down to your fighting weight of 20 stone. Proud of you mate.

Been a long day… been up, and sometimes about, since 2 a.m. so thanks for all the well wishes and support.
Still don’t know the gender of the wee foal but I’m sure we’ll get closer tomorrow.
Reading back, however, that’s some achievement by David66 – very impressive, David, WellDone and Well Done to Mrs D66 !
Special thoughts for Hamilton Tim and his special and spiritual Minx.
Good night, all.
Peace Be With You
I’m still in the Vicky Bar and nobody has started a barney? A poor show, you absolute rabble. So there now.
A very large woman, wearing a sleeveless sun dress, walked into a bar.
She raised her right arm, revealing a huge, hairy armpit as she pointed to all the people sitting at the bar and asked, “What man here will buy a lady a drink?
The bar went silent as the patrons tried to ignore her. But down at the end of the bar, an owly-eyed, dissipated drunk slammed his hand down on the counter and bellowed, “Give the ballerina a drink!”
The bartender poured the drink and the woman chugged it down. She turned to the patrons and again pointed around at all of them, revealing the same hairy armpit, and asked, “What man here will buy a lady a drink?”
Once again, the same little drunk slapped his money down on the bar and said, “Give the ballerina another drink!”
The bartender approached the little drunk and said, “I say, old chap, it’s your business if you want to buy the lady a drink, but why do you keep calling her the ballerina?”
The drunk replied, “Any woman who can lift her leg that high has got to be a ballerina!”

That’s cheating.
The theme was bad jokes.
That one was a good un

I’ve cleaned this old one that would only work in Glasgow to make sure I don’t get cancelled.
Only bit I can tell is that the athlete’s name was Wan San Shoo.
Re Paisley last week, my St Mirren pal who sits centre stand, told me,every single time a hun sub came out to warm up,always in the linesman’s ear, this is obviously coached from Lurch,as hes never away from the 4th official and the ball boy who got moved after 10 minutes, got moved round to the main stand,Lurch said to 4th official to chase him,wee boy got marched along the track and out of the stadium…….
Good morning all from a 10 degree and dry Garngad.
Friday at last for all of us fortunate enough to have a Mon – Friday job and Friday means 1 more sleep to we see the famous Glasgow Celtic play.
Spaniel hope all is well with the wee foal and mother, please don’t tell me Jimmy the donkey is the faither.
