Dedryck after his MVP performance and Craig

1282

Appropriate appreciation is due to Dedryk Boyata for his MVP performance on Wednesday. He scored the goal that won the points, could have scored more and made the most impressive defensive intervention of the game.

If scouts were in the Celtic Park stand watching, he did all he could to entice an offer, but a sample size of one game is not enough to validate a change in form for me.

Brendan has a big selection decision to make for Hearts on Sunday. You could argue he’s got the best from Patrick Roberts by bringing him on as a substitute in Celtic’s last four games, the most recent three of which the player considerably lifted the Celtic performance. Patrick will be wondering what he needs to do to get a start.

Chelsea want to sign Craig Gordon? No surprise there, they did sign Magnus Hedman a year after he left Celtic, after all. Craig is playing well and a reliable cog in an effective defensive wheel. But you know me. This far off the qualifiers, it’s all about the price as far as I’m concerned.

Everyone has a price, to think otherwise is to deny the future exists.

    For every (any) lurking huns when the wee Byrd in Scotrail trains or whatever the Dutch mob call them now tells you to “mind the gap” don’t think about the league table that’s just a subliminal message from

    Working overtime should be banned as a union member but I suppose Communions don’t pay themselves, I was brought up thinking Catholics were meant to be poor but between standing orders for the plate and everything else it’s a costly faith these days…. my faith is as weak as water but I suppose it’s bettter than having no water !

     

     

    Enjoy your day fellow Celts, we live in good Celtic times HH

  4. Fog lifting. Rain still falling. But 182nd ParkRun seems like a good idea ;-)

     

     

    Just 6 more picks to come in for Goals For Shay so I’ll issue the ‘who’s picked who’ list around 11-ish.

  5. Centaurs, horsey men, due to the cancellation of Ascot last week, a bumper 9 race card today at Ossie’s favourite course, Chelt-eeng-cham, including 4 grade 2 races, a grade 3, and a grade 1. Early midday start.

     

     

    Nice appetiser for the real thing in March, though fields seem a bit short of numbers in some races.

     

     

    Quality though, with new equine superstar, and hot favourite for the Gold Cup, Thistle Crack, making an appearance.

    It’s funny that if you represent irish culture throughout the world,you’recalled a plastic paddy,if you represent english culture in the world,it’s called a special relationship.

    Ivehadtochange .. Would disagree – if you represent English culture on here it’s imperialist – but I get your drift

     

     

    According to our local rag the Alnwick to second has hit a snag

    It’s funny that if you represent irish culture throughout the world,you’recalled a plastic paddy,if you represent english culture in the world,it’s called a special relationship.

     

    ===========================================================

     

     

    “The Special Relationship is the unofficial term for the exceptionally close political, diplomatic, cultural, economic, military and historical relations between the United Kingdom and the United States. It was used in a 1946 speech by Winston Churchill.”

     

     

    Not much point in whingeing about that now.

  9. John Vincent Hurt, actor, born 22 January 1940, died 27 January 2017.

     

     

    First saw him as the hapless Timothy Evans in ’10 Rillington Place’, then his Caligula in ‘I Claudius’, before the films I remember him most for, ‘The Elephant Man’ ( lost out to De Niro (Raging Bull) in the Oscars), Winston Smith in ‘1984’, and the drug -addict in ‘Midnight Express’. Still remember the feeling of freedom walking down Renfield Street after emerging from that one!

     

     

    Now I’m remembering him in some wee film about Antarctic penguins??

    Good Morning One and All.

     

     

    Excellent night at the Tommy Burns Supper last night with gave me the opportunity to speak to a number of folks who post on this blog.

     

     

    I was also in the BV yesterday afternoon where I enjoyed enough Coca Cola to get my own Santa Advert next year. Philbhoy it was a pleasure to meet you and I have passed on your good wishes to our mutual friend who was delighted to hear of you.

     

     

    Good to see the rest of you too yesterday and last night.

  13. Re Sevco new keeper

     

    I watch Jak Alnwick regularly and he is an ok keeper – good shot stopper but suspect with crosses (so he’ll fit in well at bigotdome)

    I know it is not but surely to God that’s a photoshop.

     

     

    Had we had the SMSM of today 50 years ago our win in Lisbon would have been relegated to page 37 with reports emphasising the clumsiness of Jim Craig.
