Emilio back on form ahead of Camp Nou

693

Over the summer I could frequently be heard muttering, “We need a left back”.  Despite returning from injury at the turn of the year, Emilio Izaguirre was unable to command a regular starting place in the team.  His occasions starts provided evidence why.  With Charlie Mulgrew the most authoritative central defender in the squad the left back slot looked like our most vulnerable position.

Emilio’s early form this season was no better, especially in the Champions League qualifiers, but recent weeks has seen the player return to his very best.  His confidence seems to have returned as he is taking opponents on with purpose which had been missing for over a year.

On this form, we can look forward to seeing him test himself at the Camp Nou.

  1. Sums up how the zombies have hit rock bottom on the park.

     

     

    McDonald’s role as player-manager makes

     

    him the highest earner at Stirling Albion, but

     

    even he is on just a modest £200-a-week

     

    for the part-time role, which he combines

     

    with a job working at Lloyds Bank.

     

    Some of the Rangers players he was up

     

    against are on wages in excess of £7,000-a-

     

    week despite their recent plunge through

     

    the Scottish league system.

    Richard Wilson in todays Herald is drop dead deluded hilarious. A must read.

    You mustve heard o’ a Turbout’n Onion?

     

     

    Theyre apparently still nutritious after theyve rotted.

  4. Two unasked for observations from me, approps of nothing….

     

     

     

    Barca got an amazing number of free kicks in shootable positions during last nights Classico. We should expect the same when we go there.

     

     

    Gorge Osbourne is a hideous smug twat. He would have fitted well in thatchers government. Rifkind, Forsyth, britten, gummer. He is of that revolting mould.

     

     

    I hope he Isnt around for a second term.

     

     

    (also hope we messi stubs his toe or summat! Nothing serious you understand. Something that will be fixed by a midweek off:-).

  5. Milan fans had a banner demanding ‘traitor’ Antonio Cassano return defibrillator.

     

     

    Sevco fans going to unfurl one at Ibrox demanding Fat Sally returns one of his chins.

    Now you would have thought that board would have known the history and pointed out this obvious omission to Nike

    Can you post it on here. Ma letter box is to small for the big Herald to go thru.

    You’ve drawn two different conclusions by generalising from two different specifics.

     

     

    Your friends don’t attend anymore and it’s not to do with the recession for them.

     

     

    Your cousin does attend and the inconvenient kick off times do not deter him.

     

     

    Can it not be, therefore, that different people have different reasons for not going anymore. The ex-football fanatic is a story as old as time. Besotted teenagers mature and find other interests in life or have to take care of family responsibilities. Some cannot afford to turn down a Saturday shift or a second job in a recession and some just lose interest. This has always happened. There’s a good chapter on this in “Why England lose”.

    My favourite was this one

     

     

    Even a combination of Mc Cullochs muscle and aggression with Dean Shiels’ guile and technique proves helpless.

     

     

    This is the most they have ever hurt LM FAO

    Unfortuneately whilst Timbhoy2’s fanny donor card got him the opportunity to provide a sex change tranplant, the host rejected the implant because whilst it could accept an artificial fanny, a real one was incompatible.

     

     

    The search for a compatible host goes on but in the meantime TB2 is back.

    Evening all

     

     

    Good 3 points yesterday, type of game we could have dropped points in, but our bold friend NFL has instilled a mental strength in the current squad we haven’t seen in many a year!!

     

     

    Anyhoo, we have a dilema with Mr Broon, we miss him when he’s not there driving the team on but i’m starting to think that for his/our long term benefit he should take a few months out and get himself the required treatment, do we want a Ledley King situ in a coule of years??

     

     

    As for as the scapegoat chat fae earlier? We know there are always some who are never happy but av always felt that players go in to their shell when they know the crowd are hunting every mistake!! Far better to mutter it under your breath and support the team, well thats my 2 bobs worth!!

    I was talking to a memeber of G4S on saturday night who was in Stirling working with the away ‘support’ and they had to stop someone entering the ground with a backpack full of flares!!
