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.”

    My old man always told me that Churchill never made a decision sober throughout the entire war.

     

     

    I’ve read nothing as a boy or man that alters that view.

    De Valera`s govt.expressed their condolences to the German legation in Dublin on the death of Hitler.

     

    As I said ” eternal shame.”

     

     

    You are aware that the I.R.A.attempted to assist a German invasion of N.I.?

     

     

    ——–

     

     

    No, I’m aware that O’Duffy tried to assist it but as a consequence was removed by ordinary volunteers of the IRA who were opposed to it.

     

     

    Is this not in fact what really happened?

    Lurk more than post mate but don’t want to see you go

     

     

    Fully understand why you feel like that and some of the crap posted on here tonight would drive you away

     

     

    I get the feeling the legion is closed tonight !!!!!

  10. For pragmatic reasons, Churchill let

     

    Eastern Europe rot under a set of Marxist dictatorships. However, he also played a massive part in defeating the other totalitarian evil.

    Thanks for the confirmation my good man.

  14. Ole alkie Winston was certainly no friend of the working classes,but some of his quotes were worth a chuckle…..

     

     

    Winston Churchill was not just a great politician, he was also a great orator. Though he is now dead, his legacy lives on in the many humorous and insightful quotes he left behind. Here is a selection of just 10…. 1 – 10..We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.2. There is no such thing as a good tax.3. Some see private enterprise as a predatory target to be shot, others as a cow to be milked, but few are those who see it as a sturdy horse pulling the wagon.4. The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of blessings; the inherent virtue of socialism is the equal sharing of miseries.5. We contend that for a nation to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle.Quotes 6 – 10 An appeaser is one who feeds a crocodile—hoping it will eat him last.7. The problems of victory are more agreeable than the problems of defeat, but they are no less difficult.8. From now on, ending a sentence with a preposition is something up with which I shall not put.9. A fanatic is one who can’t change his mind and won’t change the subject.10. Nancy Astor: “Sir, if you were my husband, I would give you poison.”Madam,if I were your husband,I would gladly take it.

    He had no power to prevent it.

     

    The dying Roosevelt and Stalin made those decisions.

     

    Churchill saw it coming,but was ignored by the Americans.

     

    Viz.the return of Polish govt. in exile.

  18. Macjay,

     

     

    Indeed he foresaw what was coming but he could have done more. However it is never so simple. How could he have sought more conflict after the previous carnage?

     

     

    Recatcher, I listen to him to hear alternative views.

  19. even with us tims there is irony, I have never ever had a first placed podium on this anointed blog (don’t get me wrong I don’t really try that hard) but today on jinkyys anniversary the first post is spot on and I spent 90 minutes of sheer joy it was the best and most appropriate 1st that I can remember in my two years following cqn (bondoran bhoy I think ) well done that mhan and jinky, thanks for everything (even your autograph ) H.H.

    You may well be right.

     

    Not much consolation to the dead.:-(

     

     

    Hamilton.

     

    “Our side” has it`s own skeletons.

     

    Why can`t we just accept that?

  21. Macjay,

     

     

    Churchill and Roosevelt sent the Cossacks back to Stalin at the Yalta agreement in 1945.

     

     

    Despicable treachery when you consider what happened to them afterwards.

     

     

    Interesting how this plays out in Crimea / Ukraine,because the Cossacks have reason to hate Russia AND the West.
