I was slightly miffed at Neil Lennon’s TV comments on Efe Ambrose yesterday, “He can’t cross”, but on reflection, better Neil points out the player’s flaws to the nation than gives him a ringing endorsement. I’d a similar sentiment after Emilio Izaguirre’s dangerous looking forward step against France, which was never in danger of making contact with an opponent, when an ever-unhelpful commentator assured us Izzie, “has that in his locker”. Anyone who has watched him for four years will know he doesn’t.
Based purely on what’s been offered up on UK TV, neither player will be attracting an offer, which is good.
Both Honduras and Nigeria have a difficult task ahead if they are to remain in the tournament beyond the group stage. Fraser Forster’s England also have it all to do. It’s been great for the three of them to get to the World Cup but the sooner they’re home, uninjured, the better.

Welcome back John, I’m sure you’ll grab this chance with both hands, more power to you and to Mr Deila…
Good Evening Timland.
All the best to JC in his new job…not my choice.
but wtf do I know,I’m just a ST holder in for the
long haul,hope he is.
What if all of John Collins’ faults:
fitness level, big head, opinionated,
left Celtic, millionaire, motivation . . .
what if all these were actually just characteristics
and they complemented Ronny’s management style?
Wouldn’t Peter Lawwell be disappointed!

Evening Timland from a very warm hun free mountain valley.
Delighted John Collins will be part of the new set up.

Every appointment is a PL placement, be it for the right reasons or not.

I am the first to admit that I had never heard of Ronny, I have also never heard of 80% of coaches around the world, disny make them useless.
I have been thinking about JC’s appointment, and can’t in all honesty see many downsides to it, whether he sees it as a stepping stone, who knows, but if Ronny fails, he also fails.
Lenny was a superb man manager, though some players might disagree with that, he was a motivator, but in all honesty, and only imo, he was limited tacticly, he was of the mindset that players were what it was all about, and that tactics were secondry.
I agree the club are downsizing, we have know that for years, it’s where we are, so all things considered, getting a young hungry management team in might just be Pedro’s golden ticket, it may fail, but I think the odds are stacked on a winning combination.
What would I know, I live in a cave FFS.

Supporting Celtic isn’t something for me to justify or rationalise. It’s something I do because I love it. And I love others who feel the same as me.
I believe John Collins is one such and that, in a short time, so will Ronny Deila.
Jock Stein was born and raised a hun and look what he did.
Hod on. At the risk of being labelled a happy clapper. I think this could be the best management team we’ve had fir years. I admit i had never heard of Ronny but never heard of dr Joe either at the time.

Steady on way the unbridled optimism
….PFayr supports WeeOscar
my glass is always half full… But I’m working on it.
Managing CFC in the league isn’t a hard gig right now
There are cups to be won and CL to qualify for….it is in those forums that the managers performance will be judged
For me Lenny had a moderate season last season ….CL qualification was good …performances therein poor …cups ….dreadful
They could do with some of those Turkish barbers over in Brazil
That Brazil anthem sounded awful
SOAL- Xavi will sign after a couple of years strollin in the sand
the_huddle
the film was even worse.
Referee is going to make sure Brazil don’t get beat
Ref looks like another homer. Brazil being allowed to kick with impunity.
Go on the mehiho!.
Sunnin ma carcass in the Caribbean.

He must need the money.
HH!!
Corruption in your face, shocking

FIFA have obviously decided to let Brazil win the whole thing. I thought our version of “honest mistakes” was bad; the way the refs have allowed Brazil to cheat so far has been amazing.
Tallybhoy
there’s. No such. Thing as ugly women.
Just not enough beer.
Is it just me or does Mark Lawrenson make everyone want to gouge their own eyes out with a rusty spoon?
Viva Zapata!
Watching the WC in las Vegas american commentators are awful
iPaddy McCourt
just you mate, that sounds painful.
Come on Mexico
This is a bit rough
FFS
Does the keeper have to touch it with both hands for a corner to be given
Said before the tournament that Brazil would get every decision going. There’s no way they won’t win it: they’re on home soil and they’re a no bad team. Oh, and if there is way to reduce civil unrest it’s through a winning football team.
