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.

  6. I popped out of work to hopefully see the eclipse, two huns standing next to me…

     

     

    Hun 1…I heard some folk got together and hired an aeroplane to get a closer look.

     

     

    Hun 2…Whit they gone above the sun?

     

     

    Hun 1…Don’t be daft the sun is a hunner miles away.

     

     

    Hun 2…It’s a wonder they don’t crash into each other.

    Heading into Glasgow shortly,if you decide to come in for a couple of jugs i’ll see you after you finish work, but I’ll have to meet kitalba as promised.

    I used to play fives with Robert Young and Grant McIntosh and Billy Milne after they stopped playing (and Grant was out the nick) and John Thomson (who played with the Burgh and a blue nose). Must be more than one Robert Young and the one I’m thinking of was not teetotal.

     

     

    Last time I was Robert was at a funeral of a mutual friend from Yooni. Which is where I met Rab and he was a mature student (I was just a young thing).

     

     

    BTW midfield maestro you will only have come across my uncle if he actually went to school on the days you were there.:-) He was always doggin it before that became a different hobby.

    ‘By the way, can I just remind the more extreme religous bigots among the Ibrox support that todays eclipse is not, in fact , a natural event. It’s a sign that God is very angry with you and he demands that you sacrifice yourself in his name.’

    I think you are confusing the partial eclipse of the sun with the total eclipse of the hun.

    same one then. Rab off the drink…who’d a thunk.

     

     

    I could tell a good few stories but so could he so I won’t.

    I was Rabs brother Neils best man , he was a good player too . We all played for Renfrew YM along with Storno who was slightly younger than us . John Thomson played for the Lie when they won the Junior cup , the best sweeper in the juniors at the time and a total gentleman .
