Forrest Feedback Club, Nir ruffling

913

The James Forrest Feedback Club were quiet last night.  I’ve no idea if James will rediscover his form on a sustained basis, or if his limbs will allow him to attain his potential, but it was good to see him running at defenders with confidence again.

He got the measure of John Rankin early on.  Thereafter the United marker could do little more than block James whenever they faced-off.

I’ve been impressed with Dundee United during this series of games.  Fojut held things together remarkably well at Hampden, you can see why we signed him subject to a medical, while Ryan McGowan was clearly their best player at Celtic Park, notwithstanding his late lunge at Liam Henderson.  Well done to McGowan for coming onto Twitter to share apologies and congratulations.

Nadir Ciftci’s swagger reminded me of Jackie Dziekanowski in his latter days as a Celtic player.  He’s probably found his level at United, where he can turn it on at will, but the modern game is looking for something different.

Loved the moment when a fouled Nir Bitton ruffled the hair of his assailant, Aiden Connolly.  Nir is growing by the week, I’m working hard to avoid comparisons.  We’ve not seen much of an edge from him since that, mistimed, tackle against Ajax, but he could do with some of that in-your-face attitude others in the midfield have.

Not been online much since the game, what suspension have the SFA offered Paul Paton after his altercation with Anthony Stokes?

Keep your eyes peeled for a nomad.  They can hide in bins and outhouses.  Check your shed.  Any will do.

  2. Many thanks for good wishes off oot to find Kev J to tell him its the International day of Happiness…………….do you think it will cheer him up ?

    The Herald ?

     

     

    My old man calls it The Pan Loaf and has long opined that reading it meant you didn’t have to go to The Kirk on a Sunday morning. A paper that employed David Belcher as a music critic simply can’t be taken seriously.

    I think he appeared in court and was granted bail … Solemn petition procedure

     

     

    In which case COPFS have a year to bring him to court

     

     

    I’d imagine if anything is to happen it’ll be in the summer

     

     

    I know no more about than what was reported

    If he’s out for a further three months that’s the season …how many games has be managed this season

    laughing at dundee utds desperately poor player and desperate dans ugly wee brother Paton ,

     

    Did he really say “take it on the chin” Wahahahahahahahahahahaahh

  8. If I hated Celtic as much as Kevjungle does I’d certainly not waste my time posting on a Celtic blog,he really is a depressing little no mark.

     

     

    Really enjoying watching Celtic at the moment looking forward to another Paton pumping on Saturday,3pm ko on a Saturday!! WooHoo.

     

     

    We badly need a top class striker though,Guidetti is not for me I’m afraid too many weaknesses in his game,I’d stick with Griffiths until we can improve.In the meantime this summer we need to have a good clear out and get rid of the non contributors. Obviously a lot depends on Denayer and Virgil because replacing them will be expensive.If at least one of them stays we can focus on a striker and at least one full back.

     

     

    Cheers,

    Saw an advert on Italian cooncil tele last night – promoting a series of soon come documentaries re the likes of George Best / Cruyff / Baggio / Gigi Meroni (yes !)etc.Might be worth keeping an eye out –

    Why do I get the feeling that the BBC have spent more this morning on an eclipse than they will all season on Scottish football

    Did they have an eclipse at Ibrox – or does it not matter if you live in perpetual darkness?

    Excellent!

  12. BOBBY MURDOCH'S CURLED-UP WINKLEPICKERS on

    Magic wee night in Johnstone last night. Bumped into Stevie who was in Belfast with us-just as well,as I’d still be waiting for a pint otherwise!

     

     

    Main event in a curry house,wi Catman,Midfield Maestro,Pedrocaravanachio67,Saltires in Seville,Murdochauldandhay,and Iaintheseriallurker.

     

     

    Guid grub,amazing craic,world set to rights.

     

     

    Consensus is that referees are generally incompetent,occasional cheats-my opinion was slightly stronger;Celtic are on the up on the park,subject to finances outwith our control-Sky;and the huns are screwed no matter which way they turn.

     

     

    Canny whack a night like that,I even managed to catch my train!

    What organ of the fourth estate would one have one of left leaning tendencies avail themselves of?

     

     

    BTW Have the PFs dropped the case on that fecker Paton? Total bellend! Not content to assualt people on the streets (allegedly) he does it sleekit on the park as well (allegedly).

    David Belcher. Wow. A name from the past……never seen him and Pat Nevin in the same room at the same time…..coincidence or are they one and the same? You decide.

     

     

    Pfayr – Lustig. Paper says he’s made 36 starts since joining us. I think he’s great. His name is on the back of my son’s top. But………

    :-)

     

     

    I remember being disappointed in 1999 as well

     

     

    But I am disappointed year on year by the BBC – consistent service provider

  17. Paul Paton claims……

     

    Ryan McGowan fumes……

     

    Nadir Cifci rages…….

     

    Simon Donnelly is angered…..

     

     

    It’s pretty laughable.

     

     

    Oh and Jackie Mac hasn’t the balls to speak to the press. He is the new Jim Jefferies. A big boy did it and ran away.

     

     

    Any softish spot for Dundee United blown out of the water.

     

     

    Sore, sore losers. One way to deal with sore losers……give them more of the same!

     

     

    4-0 will do again tomorrow.
