Forrest’s long road back

465

The last thing James Forrest needed on returning to the first team after a lengthy injury absence is a two-week international break.  James needs games to deliver the match fitness that is simply not possible by training.  It could take him until the end of the season before he is at anything like his best.

John Kennedy will be keen to get James fit for the business end of the Scottish Cup, so I expect he will make substitute appearances in most games over the coming weeks, and perhaps a start on 3 April and play part of the game against Arbroath or Falkirk in the Cup itself.  The Cup is only a landmark, though, like the rest of his teammates, the priority for James is to be in peak condition for the summer’s Champions League qualifiers.

In terms of Sunday, it’s not often I say this, but I think the players owe us one.

  1. Surely hanging our heads in shame maybe the best ever motivation to win the game.

     

     

    PPB,

     

     

    Ha you’re cheating. A What’s app group is not real live Tim’s. It is like minded tim’s communicating in a selective grouping or clique if you like.😃😄😆

    Re the so called guard of honour

     

     

    Mostly all I have seen on the blogs is people affiliated to celtic being asked or highlighted

     

     

    Has one single hack asked Gerrard or any other sevconian their view on it

     

     

    If not then why not

     

     

    Could it be that we (celtic fans) would then ask why the same hack did not challenge them on WHY they refused to give CELTIC FOOTBALL CLUB the same respect

     

     

     

    it’s equivalent to what i said earlier

     

     

    some folk need the media to tell them how to think

  3. Fergus – Bang on.

     

     

    Has any hack asked Gerard why he locked a visiting club out of their changing rooms on Thursday night.

     

     

    Has any hack asked what fat Alfie said to the Prague player that took great offence and jumped up chasing g the Columbiam.

     

     

    Has any hack asked why the Sparta player was attacked in the bowels of ipox.

     

     

    Has any hack asked Gerard why there was fans inside the stadium “quoted by him”

     

     

    Has any Jack asked Gerard why there were fans outside the stadium letting off fireworks.

     

     

    Has any hack asked Gerard why Prague had to get a police escort back to their hotel.

     

     

    Has any hack asked Gerard why the KKK ultras set off fireworks works at Prague’s hotel in the early hours the night before the game.

     

     

    Naw didnae think so.

     

     

    But you get hacks asking SPFL managers about Prague’s alleged Racism remark, WTF has it got to do with anyone else until. Proven guilty.

     

     

    D :)

    Sheffield and West Bromwich look down – so it’s about the third spot – I think they’ll stick with Bruce and hope they can tough it out

  5. PPB,

     

     

    I met a couple of Tims today and we never mentioned the guard of honour.

     

     

    I’ve just asked on Whatsap people’s opinion and everyone has replied that they wouldn’t – nope/respect goes 2 ways/f*** off being some of the replies.

     

     

    It still doesn’t change my train of thought that I would have had one.

  6. The trouble with the guard of honour is that we already have the moral high ground and it counts for two thirds of * all.

  7. I always think when the huns pull a move like not doing a guard of honour it sums them up – classless, poor losers… smelly…etc.

     

     

    I’m not keen on having the same standards

    If we were allowed back in our offices then in my area of 50plus folk only one is Tim because in these parts most will be Hertz or Hibs 😂

  9. lets all do the huddle on

    one thing i dont get about the Slavia story

     

     

    so they were apparantly locked out the dressing room

     

     

    by who?

     

     

    the Romans?

     

     

    Slavia would have had 18 players and about 6 or 7 non-playing staff heading up the tunnel at full time

     

     

    im sure 25 folk could have got themselves into the dressing room

    When asked in 2019 why sevco 2012 would not be giving celtic football club a guard of honour

     

    Gerrard stated that the club Sevco 2012 said it would not be given and that his view on it was irrelevant.

     

    was this a first for scottish football

     

    That the CLUB not the players demanded that it should not be given

     

    Maybe that is why no one co nected to those clubs has been asked for their comments on a so called guard of honour .

     

    IMO this is nothing other than the hacks in this country doing what they are taught to do to keep the hatred bubbling over to sell copy

  11. Weebobbycollins on

    David66…”Has any hack asked why the Sparta player was attacked in the bowels of ipox.”

     

    How do you know this?

  12. Shaunsamura ctd…

     

     

    :)

     

     

    Agreed though re commitment. For that reason I think I would play Klimala… bear with me…

     

     

    I think we have made it so easy for their defence recently and I’d like that we would always have an out and someone chasing them down, not giving them a minute.

     

     

    We are also very slow to get the ball forward at times so he would give us the option to do so.

     

     

    And if we play Forrest he would like someone going early.

  13. Almost quarter of a million inoculated in one day – half the adult population now inoculated – the UK-haters must be sick.

     

     

    We are a great country – greater than the sum of our parts. We are leading the world in conquering this plague.

     

     

    We stood against National Socialism & the Nazis when the rest of Europe could not & with the help of our American friends we gave every European country back their freedom.

     

     

    To break up the UK, as the Nationalists crave, would be political vandalism – this crisis is focussing peoples’ minds. There will be no repeat indyref. The overwhelming majority of the Scottish population are coming to the view that such a selfish & stupid exercise is not required.

     

     

    When we get the SNP out & can examine the ‘books’, we’ll see the corruption played out by Sturgeon in front of the Committee is just the tip of the iceberg. What is uncovered will finish the SNP…for good.

    David66…”Has any hack asked why the Sparta player was attacked in the bowels of ipox.”

     

     

     

     

    How do you know this?

     

     

    Maybe the same hack might have reported it it in the same hack’s publication of choice.

     

    It was either asked and not reported.

     

    Or it was never asked .

     

    What do you think

  15. on the suggestion of clapping on honest winners.

     

    When was the last time that that was beyond question.

  16. do not understand why we have got our nickers in a twist over Thursday when we know that organisation inside out back to front

     

    more importantly lets win tomorrow

    Fergus – Bang on.

     

    >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

     

    100% agree

  18. JHB – a great book called Unpatriotic History of worl war 2 takes a slightly different view of europes inability to fight the nazis. Left wing partisans across Europe played a much greater role in beating nazism than the allies wanted to admit.

     

     

    Just an observation. And a really interesting book.

    >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

     

     

    I take your point. It really doesn’t matter what Celic do – if you control the press – you win.

  20. JHB

     

    We stood against National Socialism & the Nazis when the rest of Europe could not & with the help of our American friends we gave every European country back their freedom

     

    ..

     

    Think you kind of over looked what the Soviets were doing when the U.K. was regrouping.

     

    Other than the Soviets, where were the Allied forces deployed throughout 1941/1942 on mainland Europe

  21. lets all do the huddle on

    CQN Brit Klan alert

     

     

    JHB – you must have necked a couple of bottles of El D before you could come up with that pish

     

     

    the only thing that might end the SNP is independence

     

     

    because its the only thing that might make Labour relevant again in Scotland

     

     

    but you keep licking your butchers apron in the meantime

  22. fergusslayedtheblues on

    IMO for what it’s worth if we play polish paddy up front he will not let us down

     

    HH

  23. This freakish season could produce any number of outcomes tomorrow.

     

     

    My hope is that there is a lev of professional pride in our squad that wants to demonstrate that they are still the better players. But I feel it really is more hope than expectation on my part.

     

     

    Still, I’ll look on, I’ll kick every ball, I’ll feel every blow amd lap up any joy.

     

     

    At the end we will all still be thinking of how we blew it this year. And still glad to be Tim Alloys!

     

     

    Hail Hail

  24. Obviously disparate factions were fighting the Nazis throughout the war with various degrees of support.

  25. I was on the fence about the guard of honour. Could see the merit in doing it. But then I remembered this is a club that has no right to exist, is followed by a shower of bigots, is thuggish on and off field, acts just like deadco etc So f$%& the guard of honour. F%$^ the sevco

  26. Majestic and Fergus

     

     

    lets just hope that some how from some where Celtic find their way back starting tomorrow

     

     

    HH

    LETS ALL DO THE HUDDLE

     

    My thoughts exactly

     

    So the question is was it actually sevco fc players that was keeping them in the tunnel

     

    A thing I thought was strange from an interview with SG about the alleged racist incident is that he said

     

    That the incident leads to other players and then the fans to react

     

    Or something like that .

     

    I thought that strange as there were no fans at the game .

     

    Maybe I picked him up wrong but what if it was peepil other than players that were the problem
