Efe and Izzie getting hard time on TV

754

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.

  1. Welcome back to the famous Glasgow Celtic John Collins, class player, hope you can some of that on.

     

    Big John Kennedy will do as no. 3

     

     

    But please NO John park as DOF

     

     

    Now onto our own greatest wee country in the world, can someone explain why they need a wee march in April, when will that great wee country waken up, and deal with this scourge ?

     

    Nice of my friends over in NI to put the Scotland flags up under the union jacks to greet me today :-)

    I see the ole ‘student’ types are getting cut price season tickets for CP.

     

     

    What Larks CSC

  4. Well played, Mexico. Not a disaster for Brazil, but a lot depends on how Cameroon go against Croatia. They could be out, or they could have a great deal to play for.

  5. 67Heaven ... I am Neil Lennon ....The angels are with Wee Oscar in Heaven.. Ibrox belongs to the creditors on

    Thierry Henry criticising Marcelo for cheating.Handball Ireland spring to mind mate?

  11. My first Celtic hero was John Collins

     

     

    My brother got to choose first (cos he was older)and he chose Paul McStay!

     

     

    Welcome back JC

     

     

    B-)

    Absolutely delighted with the appointment of John Collins at Celtic.

     

     

    Superbly high profile appointment to assist Ronny Deila and the rest of the team and staff.

     

     

    John Collins is bright and articulate and demonstrated a deep understanding of the game, as a regular pundit.

     

     

    Here we go four in a row.

  13. It would appear to me that Celtic are trying to mould a modern day Liverpool of the 70’s and 80’s boot room.

     

     

    A line of successors awaiting the opperchancity to arise.

     

     

    Can John Collins curb his love of himself.

     

     

    I doubt it.

    Can’t say I’m disappointed with JC considering some of the names Lennybhoy has been putting forward. .

  15. I am astounded of forehead about this cultural march. When did this become part of Scottish culture or is this a part of our cultural diversity? They weren’t on their way to a football match by any chance??? Instead of leading, would our police officer be kettling them??? Utterly sickening. Wonder if said policeman was one of those destroying the toilets in Celtic Park??

  18. John Collins was a terrific Celtic player.

     

     

    I have never looked ,but he probably scored more goals in the seasons he was with Celtic than The Maestro did over the same seasons.

     

     

    However.

     

    He wasn’t a match for The Maestro.

     

     

    I don’t care what Bertie Auld says.

     

     

    Paul McStay would have improved ANY Celtic team.

     

     

    He is a true Celtic legend ,who played with his heart and his head.

     

    Who went with his heart when he could have left us ,and who carried us through my lowest points as a Celtic supporter.

     

     

    Paul McStay lived the dream,and like Tommy Burns before him,he was one of our own who made it.

    Efe is a centre half. How many of them do you know can deliver a decent cross??

     

     

    Efe is not a CH.He cannot jump,or time his jumps.How many times do you have to see it to believe?.His best position,I dont know.At CH,never.

  25. Brazil look like a team where the expectation may be too heavy for them.

     

     

    Mexico looked more than handy right enough . Give them a hot humid early kick off id fancy them to take any of the European teams.

  26. Oh FFS,give the new management team a chance.Players not even back,and the wee”Sweetie wives”on already.Pity the “Steamies”are closed down,you would have been stars there.

     

    Disgusted listening to you supposed Celtic fans.

     

    Welcome John Collins.
