On football matters, the little I was able to watch has given me real hope that Klimala could be a good signing. His running & looking for the ball to be played early, dragging players out of position and general enthusiasm was very encouraging.
MH, last night I rewound my recording of the game a couple of times at the twp second half goals to check what I had thought I’d seen . Polish Paddy was indeed instrumental in helping create both goals, doing what a No.9 does i.e. draw defenders away from key areas. His movement was simple and clever – either follow and mark him, leaving space for Ajetti and then Julien, or leave him unmarked in the penalty box. As I say it was the work of a centre forward. I forgot that he is just 21, so loads of potential development there.

I agree…Klamala has impressed me with his energy.
Surprised at the negativity around him and perplexed at the managers refusal to play him when he has no other option.
He needs some love and support and the goals will come.
He actually reminds me of Griff …lol

I agree – but watch out, you may well be accused of virtue signalling with talk like that :-)

Ivan Toney moves to Brentford. Thank eff that pantomine is brought to an end.

Agree with you both. If you re-re-watch😉 he also made a number of clever runs off the dedd defender’s shoulder. Our side2side, slowish build up wasn’t ready with the quick, incisive pass that it was crying out for.
Hopefully that too will come.

We all want the same thing.
BW – indeedy. Also like to see TRFC forwards singing a similar song if we get the big lhad.
BANKIE – we’ve written it all for them!! HH
Sir Mick of Melbourne……..
HH – and keep it lit bhoy…..
I’d like to think had I been invited and quite possible paid to fly Down Under for a family-friendly all expenses
(probably) paid Jolly then I too at my most curmudgeonly…………would endeavour to be “positive”.
BANKIEBHOY1
And Aaron Hickey has signed for Bayern……..
………except , he hasn’t .
Believe no incomings until you see them in a Celtic strip
and no outgoings until you see them in another team’s strip.
ONENIGHTINLISBON on 31ST AUGUST 2020 10:25 AM
Indeed. Your post at 10:04 AM was great, Paul67 should have it on standby before any important game :-)
Glen D
Yup.
ErinHickey CSC
Barry Douglas rumour as well….
So next game it will be Forrest on the left, Frimpong on the right, Christie in midfield and 2 strikers.
Shoorly?
Philbhoy 10.54am
That would be far too straight forward
Get Turnbull in the team as well…
PHILBHOY
I wouldn’t bet on it
GFTB
Can he play left back?
I just wanted to post but I’ve got nothing to say……..yet.
Ah! Just thought of something. I really dislike international breaks.
Philbhoy 11.02am
Am still hoping Taylor is the answer, but I also realise a lot of punters still are not convinced with Greg T…
Ever the optimist
Sitting on the edge of my bed just now, taking off my shoes. Laid my head back, sun coming through the window, lovely and warm on my face…aaah! Then a big cloud came and covered it up; took away that gentle glow of contentment…a bit like cqn sometimes. ☀️🌤⛅️☁️
Anyway, woke up this morning to find I’m still a vegetarian…legumes Rus…
Sorry! I forgot this is a football blog. Perhaps I’ll come back after the international break…
International week. Grrrrrr.
I might as well kick it all off.
Google. Silicon Valley. Grrrrrrrr.
Zerohedge scamdemic. Grrrrrrrrrrr.
Look oot for each other.
You can dae this Neil.👍
The Vidar Reset is happening right here and right now.
Lenny you Can do this.
There is Something inside so STRONG.
Imps v The Gimps
Coleraine v Motherwell
Sheep v Vikings
Good result , 3 points in the bag . Didn’t think we were anything great mind you , someday we will face a team who come out and play , other clubs managers have paid much attention to Kilmarnock tactics , pack the box ,and dont give the celts time on the ball . I have been reading back on the posts since yesterday , although delighted with the result we are a bit off the team we had a few seasons ago , plenty room for improvement . Like a few others I’m not too sure things are right at our club at the moment , and don’t look right with lenny . Let’s hope things get sorted out ,whatever they are , way too much at stake to let internal problems lose us the 10 .
new article posted.

So next game it will be Forrest on the left, Frimpong on the right, Christie in midfield and 2 strikers.
Shoorly?
Yeah I agree PhilBhoy, that should be the setup for our next match.
When you anaylise yeasterday’s match, James Forrest was more effective, when he
was switched over to the left wing. Young Frimpong did well when he came on, making
darting runs, & taking players on, & being direct. The young chap, is better being used as
a right hand sided winger, rather than a right back. Ryan Christie, is certainly not a Centre
Forward, & what is this with him taking all the Corners, with poor delivery’s, & now he
wants to take all the free kicks as well. He should be practising on the training ground,
his end product deliverys which are poor. Ryan, we are looking for Quality deliveries, &
shots @ goal from free kicks, which there is a technique too, not quantity. & other players
in the Team, should also be allowed to take corners & free kicks, not always Ryan.
In my opinion about yesterday’s match, CalMac was man of the match, rightly so, &
Calmac is more effective making those forward runs, & picking out good passess, instead
of being bogged down, & having to hold down the midfield. As much as I like Broony,
grand old mother time has caught up with him, well he is now 36 years of age, which is
old age for a football player nowadays. He is also always getting booked as well, which
all adds up to a suspension of matches. My midfield would be JF on the Left, Wee Frim
on the Right. Calmac in the middle of midfield, along with Ryan & Young Turnbull as well.
I would have Ollie & Broony on the Subs Bench/Seats, & Two up Top, Eddie & Ajeti, with
Kilmalah & Leigh (When Ready) on the Bench. I would also like to see young Euan Henderson
given a chance on the Bench, because Euan-H can put in decent Corner Kicks, his Brother
was right, what he said about him as a player. I also thought that Chris Jullien. playing not
bad yesterday, & scoring a good goal. What? Chris-J is better going forward, than being in
Defence. Kris Ayer, played not bad either, picking out Albian Ajeti with a good pass for a
well taking good goal. I think that Albian Ajeti will become a good Striker for Us, when he
becomes full match fit, & sharpness. & our new Gollie done not bad either, after his gaff
against we all know who. Mr Bartes, has good possional presence & he will turn out to be
a good Goalkeeper for us. I also think, we should perhaps look @ bringing in a decent back
up Goalkeeper for Mr Bartes, because Mr Bain is not the answer. What about the Goalkeeper
who plays for Dundee Utd? Not a bad suggestion, after all, he was man of the match, when
we played Dundee Utd, just over a week ago. Mr Elhamed, needs to get more match time
his belt, & also match sharpness, & better Decision making, when under pressure, we all
know, what meltdown result match I’m referring too here. The Jury is out on Mr Elhamed,
As regards too, if he will become a solid Defender, or not. Greg Taylor, nah lets be honest
here, he is just a backup makeshift Left Back, which we will get away with playing in Scotland.
As for Europe, nah bombscare time. So as I’ve mentioned on here on numerous ocassions,
we need to Strengthening our Defence, that is a ‘No Brainer’ Also, we should be looking @
either bringing in new additions either in the Summer Window, or the January Window.
Not leaving it to the last moment, & hoping that said new additions, will Bed In quickly &
Hit The Ground in Turbo Mode, nah, that is not going to happen, be realistic “The Board”
Also, ditch the “Penny Pinching Approach” when signing new players, that is a waste of
Time & Money. For example, what’s the point of waisting two million plus, on players who
are a waste of space, in the Squad, & Also on the Wage Bill, that mindset approach, is
Stupid, & also Careless. Just pay either the asking price, or ask if what would be acceptable.
For example, the John McGinn saga, was a total mess, like a Dog’s Dinner Bowle. Use ones
Napper/Head/Brain Wisely, don’t Dilly-Dally when it comes to doing Business, Wise Up.
No Wonder, Wee Lenny has his Work cut out. I agree what Big Bad John Hartson, said
after yesterday’s match. We need to go Two up top. That is a no brainer, & it also gives
us a better chance, of converting the chances we are creating, instead of the Lone Wolf
Approach. For example, look @ the Dundee Utd match when we switched formation.
Boom, Goal. & look @ mainly the Second Half yesterday, Boom, More Goals. I personally
prefer a 3-5-2 formation, however there are other formations like 4-4-2 or 4-3-3.
Instead of 4-2-3-1 which seams to produce great pocession stats, like 70% of the match
pocession. However, pocession stats does not win football matches, it’s all about putting
the ball in the onion bag/Net, Goals. That is what really counts, @ the end of the match.
After all, we are working in a Results Industry, that is the bottom line here, end of ramble
All & Hail Hail ! & COYBIG. AKBW1888
Also, what happened to Big Tom Rogic.
There where Rumours, Aye Rumours, by we all know who, which turned out
to be rubbish rumours.
I would keep big twinkle toes, & @ least have him on the Bench.
Because he can pick out good passess, & also score important goals,
like he has done in the past, when fit, that is another “No Brainer”
I would also have Mr Beeton (Bitton) on the Bench as well, because he is also not
a bad makeshift Defender, if need be. Brendan-R will vouch for that. If we cast
our minds back, too the last time we qualified for the CL Group Stages.
Season 2016/17. Mr Beeton was used as a makeshift Defender, which worked
out in Europe. So if that was the case, then he could do a job for us Domestically.
