Penny for the thoughts of Erik Sviatchenko on Saturday as he watched the defence he’ll soon become part of. Players were skipping past Jozo Simunovic while we had Keystone Cops defending from Efe at a corner kick (our problems here are clearly not resolved).
St Johnstone failed to score during their previous five games but would have scored more against a generous Celtic were it not for some fine work by Craig Gordon.
Individual errors aside, there are aspects of our shape I’m not happy with. In previous times you wouldn’t know if the Celtic defence and keeper were having a good game, they were so well protected. In the Premiership, this makes for entertaining football as we march to the title, but at a higher level we’ll be ripped open.
There’s not a proper defensive midfielder at the club. If we’re going to keep to this shape, we’ll need one before August.

Has Efe ever played midfield before? Apart from one game for us.
If his numerous club and international bosses play him in defence and the player himself prefers playing there then maybe time some fans on here drop that idea :0)
Happy Burns’ night bhoys !
Don’t tell anyone – I’m drinking Bells !!!!!
I have given some thought to the Album Covers question and I have arrived at the view that I don’t like any album covers, much as I don’t like any book covers particularly.
I am aware of the ones that you are supposed to admire
Sticky Fingers and Led Zep 3 with the features that you could unzip or twirl if you were of a mind to indulge in such pastimes.
Electric Ladyland for the soft porn aspects.
And all the hippy-dippy ones for Yes or Osibisa.
But I only liked albums based on the music within. I have almost every Van Morrison LP but the only cover I could bring to mind (most feature the fat man himself) was the one where he had an Irish Wolfhound (?) at his feet- “Nice dog”, I thought and proceeded to listen to the man’s voice, far preferable to his profile, like The Corrs in reverse.
I have Most of the work of BNL but cannot bring to mind a cover ( a vague memory of a pirate ship apart) and Loudon Wainwright (is there one with a polar bear?).
Am I alone in thinking there is little Art involved at all. They are 90% self indulgence and promotion and 10% marketing hype or Pseud’s Corner artistry.
It’s like valuing a footballer by how nice his boots are.
Grumpy old men who want to bring back Shellac and Brown Paper Packaging csc
STV has the headline ‘Fixture Farse’ on the news there,ye canny write this stuff….
Sandman :
Efe is also one of our best passers. When he pings the ball out to Lustig ( if Mik is awake) he arcs it so that he can run on to it. This perhaps doesn’t fit the team habit of playing the ball behind so they have to retrieve.
I think our support watch Efe waiting for his mistake ignoring (or begrudging) all his positives.
The blue eyed bhoys get away with murder and are described as ” not one of his better days”
Not afforded to Efe.
Lets Get behind Efe

He will come……good.”

Only the sfa could balls that up to the extent they have
Even dumb and dumber on SS1 are calling them out
I just realised that my pals brother is the managing director of Sevco, shame as then rest of the family have done well for themselves.

Is that because you agree with me? ;)
Best album covers UB40s UB40, The Clash’s London Calling, Lou Reed Transformer, Peter Tosh Legalize it (for leaning on), Genesis Duke and Floyds The Wall and Dark Side of the Moon.
When I think of Hampden’s 6th Floor ,I get an image of Yes Minister,allied to Malcolm Tucker en route to boot some €><~|
I always thought Bar At The Moon was a mad looking cover too.

Yet again some “Celtic fans” trying to blame Peter Lawwell for this debacle at the SFA. I don’t understand where these “Celtic Fans” gain from this nonsense.
Celtic have been forced to take a place in the SFA due to what has happened over the last 4 or 5 years. Celtic were kept out of the loop involving George Peat/Gordon Smith and Regan/Ogilvie and secure little support outside of financial matters. We couldn’t trust these people and had to be inside.
I expect if there was involvement by the Professional game board( doubtful) then Celtic would have to step aside of any involvement due to conflict of interest.
Never mind, some posters on here cannot resist having a go at their own club

Despite the Sevco ban,Radio Shortbread clawing their selves to cover their heroes live tonight
When you hear the radio and their fans ranting about Mick O it makes you really hope he doesn’t sign for them lol. Sit tight Mick a better club will come in for you.
fans want to buy Mick to play at ibrox. lol Mental cases.

Will be the most pointless signing ever. Plays in positions we already have too many players. He won’t be with us come CL qualifiers. What sort of message does it send to our own youngsters, particularly Aiden Nesbitt who RD think highly of? RD said he didn’t want loan signings unless there was an option to buy, you would have to imagine that this isn’t his signing. Why are we seemingly so keen to help develop Man City’s youngsters?
Er,Freud.
Album covers is it? The Jam- In the City. Rush – 2112.
All the best to the mighty MOrton tonight. Got a feeling in my water that they could get something off the accursed latest incarnation of the huns..

Yeah it is weird the Man City thing , I read earlier RD not a fan on loan player. Read into that what you want. Nesbitt looks the biz as well.
KLV
Big bhoy,
Do you know anything about Celtics involvement in the SFA ?
Sportsound’s Dave King correspondent trying to spin the lack of signings as a positive.
The Roberts loan does not surprise me, what would surprise me is if it was a smoke screen, I like surprises so I’ll hope for one.
Canamalar it looks like OCD obsession
Funny if it was ohalleron. lol
KLV
KLV,
As long as it’s a permanent deal for a decent player, I’ll take it, a six month loan for another winger just seems like a waste of resources to me.
Then again ive saying for a wee while, you can’t have too many wingers, or so it seems :)
Crepulja sounds like a rubbish vampire
What happened with the 6’5″ striker ?
Canamalar it looks like OCD obsession
Yeah your right we are heavy in MD and most of the players are very similar in there. I think on Sat we saw the new players in Alan, christie, Erik and GMS back on form. Pretty strong bench. So for me, A striker is top priority. MD is heavy we have a new CB pairing in Jozo (screw the heed) and Erik. Still light up top.
KLV
Evening All,
Thanks for all the album cover suggestions. There are a few crackers in there – and a few surprises too.
Just listening to Richard Wilson on Shortbread commenting on the money that has already been spent by the new regime at Ibrox.
Hmmm don’t go expecting him to be turning up anytime soon as a business consultant anywhere.
There are a few basic concepts that are clearly alien to his understanding of business investment and available cash facilities.
Does anyone on here really no Micky Ohalloran, and is he going to sign for Sevco.i hope he doesn’t
album covers

Was this not the lady Neil Lennon said he knew nothing off?
Gary 67 and others asking what the Man City link is, Google Mark Lawwell Manchester City.
