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.

fiver on Kompany 8/1 anytime. C’mon big Vince, scramble a winner from a late corner…
67 heaven
Couldn’t agree more.
Welcome home John
Well I got half of that right.
Great cross.
Ernie………you won’t see me slagging Neil Lennon off…..in fact I wish he was still manager!!
I also agree the optimism is verging on ridiculous!…….. I merely commented on the assignation of JC tics credentials….. from people who obviously don’t know him!!

The answer is Collins obviously.
But I know less about the emerging football management talent than I do about my binman’s inside leg measurement.
I did not know about Wanyama, VVD, Hooper, or Moravcik until they arrived at Celtic.

Great goal. 2-1 Belgium
oof! Back o’ the net. Foot like a traction engine.
What price was the Belgian comeback at 0-1?
Fabulous shot by Mertens into the roof of the net.2-1 Belgium.
The Belgiums have scored!
Sacre bleu!
HH!!
2-1 Belgique
Kojo: because he was a player for us he understands the pressures of playing for us. Knows the refs. Knows the media. Plus he was a good manager considering what he had to work with.

Good subs fae Belgium
CRC,
If you’re lurking.
Having problems with sending email.
I’m available for 5s this week.
Mertens .
He has done well at Napoli .11 goals in 33 appearances..
Very hot ,very grey ,no rain, mosquito heaven, way down south.
Can I just say that my bet for today is a Belgium-Brazil double?!
HH!!
I can’t believe mertens scored and chadli who he replaced didn’t.
I know more about the spurs lad.
For personal reasons absolutely delighted that Belgium have won today.
Wee question: is it now okay to celebrate by running to the fans when you score a goal? Or is it only in Scotland that Celtic cannot celebrate? It appears that our MIBs are at variance with the rest of the world judging by what we have seen in the WC. Or, is it something else?
Judith hot tonight…
I fancied Belgium as a wee bit of an outsider, I came in from the garden to see Algeria scoring from the penalty and having soft spot for an underdog was hoping they would hang on or even increase their lead….that is until I spotted that durty cheatin pseudo hardman buggeroff.
I’m a great believer in karma and justice was done when the manure flop equalised with the kid on thug posted missing, this was made even better when the winker tae mcsleekit slipped and gave the ball away for the winner.
Really happy about the Collins appointment. A class act who could teach many losers how to achieve better. Let the new regime finally put an end to boozy times in pubs for the players.
Brazil are away to get a shock from the speedy gonzalenzas….with the added bonus of Neymar being boooooooo ed “aff the park matey “…..me no tell you again…”aff de park”
braw
How come mertens mum ( Angela ) was celebrating with ze Germans last night

She must have washed and shaved from last night.
Had Belgium as a 3-0 they need to get better, growers hopefully but not encouraging. At least Bougherra got eff all.
John KENNEDY Being mentioned as first team coach,fine ,but what about steven friel surely he is to be considered ,or has he been forgotten on here, and well done to john collins back at celtic .
Geordie Munro
God help us if Murdo signs….He’ll lock himself in the only phone box in Blantyre
with his big bag of 10 pees …hotline here I come.
Bet Belgium at 3/1 in play, result…:)
Keep the Faith!
Hail Hail!
Evening all,
Delighted to see JC back at the club. Growing up through the 90’s was no easy thing but Johnny bhoy gave me many happy times.
I can be quite a critic of Celtic but there is something getting me excited about the new management team, I’ve no idea what it is but I’m excited none the less!.
I really hope we can develop some of the young bhoys into first team players, there are some cracking players there that never really got a fair crack of the whip under Lenny.
HailHail
Dan Petrescu confirms Barcelona’s Xavi has signed pre-contract with Qatar’s Al Arabi [SPORT]
Royal protocol not adhered to, its enough to make one go to war.
Anyone notice the Chinese premier Li Keqiang and his missus did not bow when they met the Queen
Still he got himself out of royalist jail later by backing the no vote
The Queen may not be amused but Cameron certainly had a chuckle
Now can you imagine the outcry if a good UK Tim never bowed or doffed the cap
Traitor would be the prominent adjective
Still when you are about to commit billions to a high speed choo choo you don’t need to bow to anyone

I’m sure JK will make sure SF,s contribution will be recognized and duly rewarded.
