  1. Anto Stokes and the Bhoys from the Green Brigade.

     

     

    A marriage made in heaven.

     

     

    Are you watching Uncle Tom Lawell?

    Thought Biton was quietly impressive today.

     

     

    There’s definitely something Connellyesque about the way he strolls about the midfield.

     

    ……………………………….

     

    Agree but he lacks the physique of George who could look after himself, but that can be built.

    I couldn’t make the game today and had to make do with the shortbread commentary team. Sounds like it was a strong performance with Stefan and biton doing well, great to see Stokes getting a hat trick, I’m normally one of his biggest critics but I think he does react to competition and maybe with Leigh arriving he sees that for the first time this season he has that.

     

     

    To be fair to shortbread today they gave most of the team credit with special mentions for Kris, Nir, and young Darnell as well as Stokes of course.

  4. 8th Nov 2008, Manchester Utd lose 1-2 to Arsenal, with Nasri scoring Arsenal’s second goal in the 48th minute.

     

     

    18th Feb 2009, Manchester Utd beat Fulham 3-0, but rest Van der Sar for the next league match, a 2-1 win over Blackburn Rovers.

     

     

    In between, Man Utd complete 13 other full league matches without conceding a goal, with Dutch ‘keeper Edwin van der Sar in goal for all of those matches. I make that a total of 1302 minutes of regulation time without conceding a league goal.

     

     

    To beat outright the consecutive league games without conceding world record, Forster needs another three clean sheets, against Hearts (“), ICT (H) and Kilmarnock (A). To beat the total number of minutes played without conceding, he needs a clean sheet at Tynecastle, then to reach at least the 88th minute at home to ICT without conceding.

     

     

    In athletics terms I reckon we can say he is just coming out of the final bend and about to sprint for the line up the home straight.

     

     

    Come on big Fraser (and Virgil)… you can do it. These are the only two who have played every minute of the current run.

    After next week’s game when the shut out record will be achieved or not, all efforts must be channelled into getting the team prepared for the CL qualifiers.

     

     

    Things to be considered:

     

     

    If Fraser leaves in the summer as we have been led to believe, then Zaluska must be given most of the remaining games.

     

     

    Izzy will be at the World Cup, therefore we need to scout a left back who will be signed early in the window or we need to prepare a youngster in the remaining games.

     

     

    Biton and Johansen need to feature in all remaining games to develop their partnership which looks a goodie.

     

     

    Neil needs to work out who he will use as his ‘lone striker’ when we play with one and what his preferred twin striker partnership will be. This season, more than any other before, new signings should be made at the beginning of the window, if possible. I understand that players going to the world cup are unlikely to sign before they play in the tournament but some will be happy to settle their futures before they go off.

     

     

    What must be avoided, in my opinion, is tinkering and giving players 5 minutes game time.

    Tanners face was a picture at the end of that broadcast. A mirthless half grin barely concealing the pain.

  8. Minceyheidman….

     

     

    Perversely enough, I love it when Naismith plays well for Neverton.

     

     

    It cranks up the permarage in Govan one more notch towards eating themselves.

  9. Richie #TeamOscar on

    Anto got MoM but Nir was probably the most effective Celtic player today.

     

     

    Good game overall so no need to be calling Celtic players “shite” imho

     

     

    The blog might be bearable tonight ;-)

    An old Cork palomine had a phrase for anything that was useless.

     

    “It’s a dug’s mickeen of a yoke,”

  11. Have a cracking afternoon bhoys.

     

     

    I’m off to try cooking a fish curry with a Naga Chili. What could possibly go wrong?

    Forgot to give an honourable mention to the GB, who whatever people’s views on the politics certainly brought a rumble of thunder back to paradise today. I hope all who did make it enjoyed their day and will be back with their mates.

    I just like to see him taking one square in the coupon myself.

  14. Did Neil Lennon respond to the internet tsunami, or did off form players drop out, and a reshuffle take place.?

     

     

    James Forrest Charlie Mulgrew both out injured and Samaras out of favour the Celtic side almost picked itself. Stokes had the room he wasn’t afforded in the Cup tie, and took full advantage to claim the match ball with a fine hat trick.

     

     

    Commons was the main creator, fronting a back five that had to wait till near time up for a deflected single effort on goal, which was brilliantly kept out by the unique Forster. Johnannsen and Brown were freed up beside the majestic Nir Biton, who’d win M.O.M were it not for the Stokes hat trick.

     

     

    Fisher did well on the wrong foot, after Izzy’s departure and van Dijk was immense and as untroubled as Ambrose. Griffiiths proved he’ll score because TV replay showed that he did, but for the over eager linesman to flag incorrectly.

     

     

    Same ole Celtic always winning.

  15. Jamabhoy….

     

     

    Fish and Curry……like farting in a lift……wrong on so many levels.

     

     

    Well maybe prawns are ok then.

    Glendalystonsils,

     

    Did that tosser Tanner say something like “Are St Johnstone making it easy for Celtic?” at the end of the first half?

    Depends on how old the chef is to determine what are regarded as ‘sensitive’ organs.

  20. Pogmathonyahun aka Laird of the Smiles on

    BSR, agree my MOTM would have been Nir Biton if Stokesy hadn’t scored the hat trick. He strolled through the game, and dare I say it I don’t think we would have lost last week had he been in midfield. Only my opinion.

  21. Kojo,

     

     

    Uncle Tom would be tame in my locker room at the Golf Club mate.

    Superb.

     

     

    Biton ozzes class, Scarlet, what an engine, always looking for the forward pass.

     

     

    Shame for Izzy, Darnel an able replacement,

     

     

    Well done big Fraser.

     

     

    The CB’s a stroll in the park.

     

     

    Well done Lenny on getting the middy right today.

     

     

    LG will score for fun when he settles in.

     

     

    Well done on getting the match ball Anto.

     

     

    I think Derk will come good, he has it.

     

     

    And my MOM, the GB, welcome back bhoys.

     

     

    A happy Tim

  23. Great performance on the pitch (biton, johanssen, stokes and vvd the pick), and off the pitch (welcome back to the GB). Pity there were more empty seats than occupied ones.

    That’s definitely an Airdrieism.

     

    ……………………………………………

     

     

    I’m too frightened to agree incase my mates are looking in. They’re Airdrie Onions :-)

  25. Tricoloured Ribbon on

    Pogmathon,

     

    No doubt in my mind about Biton.

     

    Robson would never have been able to run the midfield like he did had the big man been there.

     

    Johansen was twice the player too today with his assistance.

    Yes, apparently all Celtic’s goals were the fault of the St. Johnstone’s mistakes.

     

    Poor Tanner, a hun in denial is a very common sight these days.
