Onwards to Astana.Broony,O”Connell,,men of the match for us.JF missed a penalty,fantastic save,so what?Great,gritty performance against the EPL champions.Yes,EPL champions !!!!!!!.
If Izzy had ever been able to pick a man out with a cross,he would have been World class.On that subject,our set pieces are getting worse,as are our crosses into the box.Work needed.
Very hopeful for Wednesday.

Also I remember Kenny Dalglish getting stick, at one game he was called a womble, better than a bottler I think.
When you were posting on Thursday. I asked if you had watched Obriens 3 winners. I thought they were all impressive . Churchill won only a neck but looks a proper racehorse to be but still green. The other two were visually more impressive but Churchill for me. Do you have an opinion on them?

No one is giving JF shit for the pen miss.
He’s getting it in the neck because he been the same type of player for years now, with no sign of improving after playing under 3 managers.
Celtic have offered him a new contract which he’s rejected, do we really offer him more money?
Yes Sir! That is exactly the point. Wants more money and brings us NOTHING. The pen miss is very far from being my point regarding JF’s “performances”. Punt him.

Tommy Callaghan. Stood in the Jungle every home game during the Tommy Callaghan years and I’ve never heard such scorn. The abuse TC got was unbelievable.
TC was the Efe of the mid-70s. And he was a good player. Like Efe is.

Thanks I always value your opinion.
Douglas McArthur can only improve. Obrien said he would like to get another 2 races into him this season but is worried about rushing him.
They let him roll from the front as the horse still doesn’t know what to do on a racecourse, he said his work is terrific at home.
I hope they stay fit, two totally different types of horses yet both exciting prospects. Who knows maybe a new Dancing Brave. :-))) Just thought I would put that in as its 30 years since it won the King George.
WTF will happen when they both leave, any contenders in the pipeline ?

If that was Efe’s debut today we’d all be excited at seeing a tremendous talent joining the club.
He didn’t put a foot wrong, showed terrific composure, pace & ability. Why not treat the guy as a new signing & get behind the big man? Who knows with a bit of support at his back, he may just rediscover the consistency of his first season with us?
Good guy & a fine talent. H.H. Efe!

James.
Go look at his career stats.
184 matches. 30goals. 27 assists.
His best returns 9 goals in 2011/12.
Last two seasons are pathetic for a forward player.
2 goals, 2 assists. Last year.
I will be kind. Maybe the injuries stop progression.
Right now his wee brother is getting better reviews.
Cash in, let him go.
I can think of 5 good games he had as mom.
Patrick has scored more and set up more in half a season than James has in 3

Churchill was impressive no doubt about that
But Douglas McArthur beat (easily) a horse called World War ( trained by Ger Lyons and wealthy owners paid over a million for)
Interesting to see World War,Douglas McArthur and Churchill race against each other

Make a howler then you can join the escape goats but some players were just disliked because of their faces didn’t fit, our support is all inclusive (or not)

You dont really have to do anything wrong ( on a regular basis) to become a scapegoat…..
Lets face it,some guys are just born to be scapegoats
Efe has made one mistake under our new coaching staff, it did cost us a goal but at the end of the day it wasn’t that important.
That one mistake is way less than quite a few others have made, but they are getting away with it cos Efe is taking all the flak.
Funny thing is, I could well see BR going with Efe & Kolo as our CB’s :-)
Erik & Skoosh in front of them with the rest fighting for a start.

When I was a kid their was a Steamie in Gibson St just beside the Barrowland at right angles to the Gallowgate. It joined Stevenson St and both were great for roller skating on midweek evenings, but not weekend ones. Hit a whelk shell at a roller rate of knots and it was skint elbows.
Anyhoo back at the Steamie I remember the wifies with their scarves tied above the heads all chatting away to each other.
On some occasions, if you stood at the door looking in and listened carefully, just discernible amongst the clanking of lids and the hiss of steam, you could make out the words. “See that James Forrest…..”

To sum up my contributions today (sadly) James Forrest should be nowhere near a Celtic jersey. Simples….for me.
