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.”

    BRT&H,

     

    Thought provoking & memory stirring posts of those terrible nights 73 years ago.

     

    I am one of those lucky enough to have survived it unscathed & to still have vivid memories of its horrors.

    Kojo….my problem is that I become unrecognisable for ninety minutes and I do not like what I see as this is at odds with the ‘ normal’ me: also,a defeat can almost write off a full week at least as well as behaving like a moron towards nearest and dearest who deserve better.Maybe it’s all about coping strategies and unfortunately the press,referees and Masonic cabals get to me more than I should let them. In my defence,I do love good football and have no truck with any of the side shows.

    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.

     

     

    *I spent most of my first 10 years over here working for a German company, one oul yin talked about walking across Germany and the ground beneath him shaking with the incessant bombing at Dresden. I told my FIL who spent most of the war in various POW camps who retorted “talk tae him about Coventry”. Don’t suppose he knew much about Clydebank.

    I prefer being top of the league and having participated in Europe without a team that huns support in the league thank you very much,I get more joy knowing a fledgling club have found their level practically and morally than any defeat we could inflict on a fitba park,a Celtic win has me smiling for a week whoever we play.

    Sterner opposition?

     

     

    From whom? The last big opposition we had was from a club who spent money via an over generous credit facility backed up by ebts,a foundation that soon disappeared.

     

     

    If you think Sevco will somehow attain that illusion of strength or have the resources to do battle let me know how.

    #Celtic confirm the first two qualifying rounds for next season’s UEFA Champions League will be played at Murrayfield.

     

     

    That’s a quick stroll over the golf course and a few pints in my local The Roseburn. CL qualifier works for me.

     

     

    The new tram stop is directly over the road from Murrayfield Stadium so I might suggest the park-and-ride at Ingliston or the Airport for those travelling from the west by road or by air.
