Biton and the holding position

678

I was discussing Beram Kayal during the week, specifically how he was keeping Victor Wanyama out of the Celtic team before that ‘tackle’ from Rangers’ McCulloch put him out of action for months.  The player has never recovered his form but has never had a sustained run in the team either.

Nir Biton has made the holding position his own in recent weeks and, as a consequence, we’ve watched his form improve.  News that he picked up an injury when playing for Israel against Slovakia last week, which is likely to disrupt his appearances for weeks, has come at the worst possible time.  If he is to make this position his own, he needs performances between now and the end of the season.

Young players especially need games to reinforce their craft and build confidence, as well as to ensure fitness.

“”Claire, where is my passport?” I was frantic now as I pleaded with my wife. She must know I thought. Claire, my wife of twelve years, suffers my trips away to support Celtic without a single moan. Not this time though as Claire would not give me her blessing to go on this trip telling me that our bakery was now at critical point, busy and with too many European away days this year they had taken their toll.”

    Just seen your earlier message happy to share a taxi from briggs

     

    ————————————————

     

     

    Hi Martybhoy59 – that would be great.

     

     

    I will order a cab and pick you up at Kenmure Avenue (where the Celtic bus leaves from) at 6.20

     

     

    Please confirm that you have got this message.

  4. @RFC_Official: McCoist: “The top flight has certainly missed our football club and the support that goes along with it.”

     

     

    He’s been listening to Aiden too much.

  5. Alasdair MacLean on

    Really hope they last until the end of this season – just a tad worried that they will get away with a 25 point deduction and still get promotion and a debt shedding.

     

     

    Could someone give me some reassurance?

     

     

    They make me nervous!

    “The blue pound well spent, well done rovers.”

     

    ——

     

    “Good to see them appreciate the blue pound and use it for good.”

     

    ——

     

    “They could only do it off the back of The Rangers. That’s like someone in a restaurant taking the credit for the meal by paying the tip.”

     

    ——

     

    “I’m surprised it wasn’t given to SCIAF.”

     

    ——

     

    “While it is a decent gesture, all these public displays of charity don’t sit well with me. It’s hardly selfless, is it?”

     

    ——

     

    “But they take all the plaudits when they do it with other people’s money?”

     

    ——

     

    “makes them look good and take plaudits when the likes of the Rangers Charity foundation does far more”

  7. I just read a bit of Aiden McGeady’s piece in the Retard. Maybe he got suckered in by a clever journalist? but I find it hard to believe he used the words “sent down” and “demoted” If he did say this then I would be disappointed.

    are you up the road Friday.

     

     

    Hail Hail

  10. Hi Paul67

     

    What an incredible amount raised in the last weeks , now just below £12,500, It’s looking good for your target of £14,000

     

     

    The generosity of Celtic people knows no bounds.

     

     

    If you are donating and live in the UK remember gift aid will add another 25%, providing you are paying Taxes , and we all know what happens if you don’t.

     

     

    On the wee man’s anniversary, I find myself smiling when I think of him, what great memories he left all of us who had the privilege of watching him.

     

    RIP Jinky

    Make sure you get into the taxi and don’t sneak away on the Eddie Duffy bus to go to Kilmarnock Pretty sure it’s leaving Kenmure Avenue at the same time and has a few spare tickets

    Afternoon Folks,

     

     

    A very clever person has brought my laptop back from the dead — it has now been christened Lazarus!!!

     

     

    Accordingly, if anyone has e-mailed me re virtual tickets, raffle prizes, auctioning their Mrs, or offering me free drink or whatever at CQ10 — you will be in a queue of the 147 e-mails I am wading through.

     

     

    I will get there and reply to you in the course of today — honest!

     

     

    Re my earlier post on Clydebank and the related bombing of Dresden — The raids on Dresden on 13th and 14th February 1945 is and was one of the most barbaric acts I have ever heard of.

     

     

    The war was almost over, The Nazi’s were on the retreat on all front and the common perception is that the bombing served no military purpose whatsoever.

     

     

    Officially, 25,000 people died — some say more.

     

     

    The city was largely wooden and essentially countless thousand literally burned to death.

     

     

    Maybe, it is because of my Clydebank background (and indeed my father’s Clydebank background ) but mention of the Dresden bombing in our house was always met with sheer outrage and anger at such a shameful and disgraceful act.

     

     

    It was so outrageous and disgusting that even Winston Churchill ( a man for whom I have little time ) distanced himself from the whole escapade.

     

     

    Right back to CQ10 stuff.

    Sorry — remember Clydebank.

     

     

    73 years ago tonight the Clydebank blitz completely changed the history of a town.

    I thought he was trying to dive in to the Govan Stand…………what was this guy lifted for 2 years ago?

    Be a nice touch if sevco matched Rovers charity donation of £10000? Maybe fatsalary could do the same and match them. Mon fatso you know you want too!!.

  22. What did aiden say ?

     

     

    I was at q&a with paul mcstay last year here in oz.

     

     

    He said he’s looking forward to the derby games with the huns again.

     

     

    He admitted that it might not sit well with alot of fans but from a players point of view its the fixture u look out for and set it as a kind of target.

     

     

    Hated to hear him say it but thinking about it later i can see where he is coming from.

     

     

    Quick question

     

     

    The huns to be stuck in lower leagues for next 5/6 years or to be in top flight getting hammered each time by us ?

     

     

    Which would u prefer… Tough choice.

     

     

    Wheather we like it or not they will also exist in some way with the help from mr oglive and his pals.

     

     

    And of course the defeaning silence from the celtic board :-(

    ‘Uli Hoeness jailed for 3 1/2 years for tax evasion’

     

     

    ###

     

     

     

    That’s rather a harsh, and dare I say it, crude way of reporting what has happened.

     

     

    Could we not say that Herr Hoeness has reached a settlement with the German tax authorities?

     

     

    Much more dignified.
