Guidetti the exceptional talent

1003

We’ve had a few free kick experts in modern times.  Lubo was first.  He could hit them, and score with them, with either foot.  The man was a menace to opponents on many levels.  He also taught us that hitting the ball as hard as possible into an opponent’s body, standard fare for Celtic in the 80s and early 90s, was a poor return from a dead ball situation.

Lubo clearly influenced Shaun but it wasn’t until Naka arrived that Shaun really found his grove.  With right footed Maloney and left footed Nakamura lining up behind the ball keepers were forced to leave a vulnerable space at any centrally-located free kick.

I don’t remember any player scoring with three consecutive free kicks, an absolutely exceptional feat.  John Guidetti is proving to be an exceptional player.  From what I hear he’s also enjoying being a Celtic player, there’s been a meeting of minds on what is expected and what’s on offer.

This is a young player who has already learned a few lessons on football clubs and career management.  He has the makings of a Celtic legend.

Those of you who weren’t there last night, make sure you see the goals.  Four of them were exceptional.

Many thanks to everyone who has big on our auction for two debenture seats for the Inverness game on Saturday, courtesy of Celtic sponsor, Magners.  Funds raised go towards building our forth kitchen for Mary’s Meals in Malawi, specifically for the 909 children who attend Chibwata Primary School in Dowa, which currently doesn’t have a kitchen.

Malawi is one of the poorest countries in the world, but………  things are improving.  93% of your money raised is getting to the projects on the ground, Mary’s Meals are now feeding hundreds of thousands of kids there each day, over 2000 of them in kitchens CQN readers have already built.

Kids who are fed at school there are able to attend instead of having to work for food – primary school attendance is up 30% after Mary’s Meals build a kitchen.  As a result they all get a basic education, some of them are set on a road to a higher education and all have better chances in life.

The auction closes tomorrow. You will do nothing better today than get involved with this one, which you can do here.

    I think the general answer would that Bulgarian football does have a racist element. That’s what a quick flick through google shows.

     

     

    But as someone pointed out earlier for the sad to presume tonev to have made a racist comment on that basis would in itself be ……. Well…….racist!

     

     

    Ironic he couldn’t initially play cos he had to look after his mum who spoke no English. Hope no bad yins taught her bad words.

  11. Is the BOGOF offer on for Saturday? A Polish and Slovakian couple of guys I work with are taking an interest in going on Saturday.

  12. Andrew Dallas reffing Dundee utd v st mirren game on Saturday, his rise to the top echelons of referring now fulfilled, it’s like the rebirth of satan coincidentally timed for the return of the Huns

  13. What a disgrace 7 match ban for tonov. For something that can’t be proven. So if people want to talk about racist people lets start with the orange order. Parading through the streets of Scotland carrying their anti catholic sentiment. Look at their banners with anti pope and catholic messages. This is deeply offence if to me. That’s what I call racist. H.H.

    I can back you up on that. I noticed that Logan reacted to something and the reaction was genuine. I have no idea if Tonev said anything, or if it was someone in the crowd. But whatever happened/was said, he didn’t like it.

    This is a sentiment that has been expressed by many posters.

     

     

    However, of course, it can, legally, be proven. The panel believed the complainant to the requisite standard. I didn’t hear the evidence. I didn’t hear the cross-examinations. How do we know the precise evidence and answers given or legal submissions made? The idea that ‘one word against another’ is not evidence or cannot be sufficient evidence is simply incorrect. Many criminal cases involve one persons word against another- particularly cases of domestic abuse, threats, harassment etc. Similarly, many employment tribunals involve ‘one word against the other’.

     

     

    I hope that Tonev is innocent, I really do. But, if he is guilty, then he deserves the ban.

     

     

    We cannot be automatons, blindly supporting every player no matter what. We simply don’t know enough.
