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.

    Phil Neville makes Derek Ferguson sound like Peter Ustinov?

     

     

    Where does that leave Robbie Savage?

  4. In an attempt to gain some brownie points with World Cup viewing in mind, I carried out a long-standing request to clear out a cupboard full of old useless stuff just taking up space.

     

    Or so I thought.

     

     

    The cupboard’s hidden, forgotten treasure was a book published in 1967 to record the remarkable season Celtic had just had. It’s called ‘Celtic Triumphant’ written by Ian Peebles, with a foreword by none other than Charles Patrick Tully.

     

     

    It was a present from my parents for Christmas 1967. Anyone else got it, or remember it? A beautiful cover with a colour action photo from the final, and some great black and white photos inside too.

     

     

    Looking forward to reading it again tomorrow for the hundredth time at least!

  5. Very impressed by the knowledge and insight of so many posters as well as the inside info and detailed personal information they possess!

     

     

    So it is fact that….

     

     

    JC is a PL appointment.

     

    JC will not be content to be a no 2

     

    JC thinks he’s a special one

     

    RD will need to watch his back

     

    This will not work

     

     

    Wish I knew all these people too, was present at all the meetings/interviews they had, had access to their psychiatrist notes etc, etc. etc…..

    It’s a wee gem of a book. The season’s results section at the end makes for amazing reading too.

     

     

    What’s also amazing is that the one game that my dear departed father managed to take me to was the 2-3 v Dundee United, the only home defeat of the season, apart from a friendly with Dinamo Zagreb!

     

     

    I posted a while back about how much of a jinx my much-missed dad was! (well, not by Celtic!)

    Without starting a pllitical debate, I hope the beautiful sons of south korea get it right up the hoops of the murderous commie peeg dawg reds under the beds.

     

     

    Vladimir putin, your boys deserve a hell of a beating, with heavy bars and rubber hose.

    We appoint two intelligent focussed professional guys to manage our team next year and yet on here the negativity is blinding – so tell me if it wasn’t these two – then who ?

     

    Hurry up

    I’ve lost more than I’ve got over the years.

     

     

    Just noticed the price on the dust jacket . . .18s net!

     

     

    Quite pricey relative to today’s prices, I’d imagine.

  12. Late arrival tonight at embra airport, ten ish get to few miles from harthill

    Just bloody brilliant.

  13. thomthethim for Oscar OK on

    Ki is one of those rare players who knows his pass before he receives the ball.

     

     

    I would definitely welcome him back.

  14. I predicted goals because Russia are a better technical team than they have shown and because the Korean keeper and defence are poor and because the Korean midfield running is so intense.

     

     

    What I did not foresee is how timid Russia would be in their ambitions. They really need to come out of their shell.
