Hatate, Rogic doubts will influence forward selection

189

With Japan already qualified for the World Cup, it is more likely Reo Hatate will feature in their home game against Vietnam, which kicks off tomorrow morning UK time.  Whether he plays or not, Reo will have a burdensome journey back eight time zones to reach Glasgow.  Even perfectly rested, it remains a huge ask to get his body clock adjusted for the weekend.

Daizen Maeda endured that journey last month ahead of the same opponents we face on Sunday.  Ange Postecoglou started the player on the bench, preferring the then out of favour Giorgos Giakoumakis.

Selection for left mid is likely to be Ange’s biggest worry this week.  We are likely to see no more than 60 minutes from whoever starts there.  The lack of certainty is likely to influence who plays left of the front three.  I expect the more industrious Daizen Maeda than Jota.

    Once again Bill Leckie telling it straight today!! OK, he’s not a Celtic sycophant, nor, is he an Ibrox one. He calls it as he sees it – I like that!

     

    ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

     

    Oh do you??

     

    It wasn’t that long ago that the poster, Martin Seville, called you straight out about all of your wildly, dodgy, and, thoroughly, deceitful, virus statistics when you were the blogs own, “Witch Finder General”, although you were assisted loyally by the turkey, from Turkey, and all of his howling, hysterics, calling folk who didn’t buy the medias hysterical bull, as, “dangerous” and, “shouldn’t be allowed onto the internet with views that put others in danger, as hundreds of thousands of innocent people have died!!!” etc, etc.

     

    Turns out that, 17,000, sadly died from the ‘virus’ that NO scientist has been able to isolate.

     

    Funny that, eh??

     

    Maybe not, definitely not for the families of the victims.

     

    It was exclusively revealed on the now, colonised by bandwagonism, GB news, by, Nigel Farage, that 17,000 poor souls had died from the ‘virus’ RIP.

     

    Even JHB would have to admit that, 17,000 is wildly different from the hundreds of thousands that, JHB was frightening everyone to believe, and loudly helped by, Turkeybhoy??

     

    Maybe not.

     

    Turns out it was you, JHB, who was dangerous, wasn’t it??

     

    Mr Putin has saved your ass, yes he has.

     

    Or should it be, Dr Putin, the media ‘baddie’ who made the ‘virus’ disappear, just lke that! 🎩

     

    Pfizer were forced to release the side effects of their, magic potion, through the law courts, with Pfizer being refused the right to conceal the side effects for 75 years??

     

    What did Pfizer have to hide??

     

    Why would Pfizer want to hide, side effects, for 75 YEAR’S??

     

    The media was shipped off to Ukr, and Putin was painted as the bad guy, and Celtic supporters fell for the media circus, the same media who were ordered to NOT report a single word of Pfizer’s, side effects, why would that be??

     

    The same media who were worried sick about everybody’s health to two2 years, now refused to inform the poor people that they were so worried sick about, that Pfizer had released the first tranche of, possible, side effects, that lovely, caring, Pfizer tried to conceal the side effects for 75 years??

     

    Maybe, JHB, works for – Pfizer??

     

    Or, maybe the deceitful media who share the same hysterical traits??

    Everything that everybody needs to know about the SNPcult’s incompetence, corruption & cover-ups. A quarter of billion pound cock-up…..and these people will lie & flag-wave to run Scotland.

     

     

    Their hard-core will always vote for them – but really, it’s time for others who back them, to think things through. Our lives, our families, our livelihoods, our jobs, our health, our education, our pensions & our benefits system in the hands of such amateurs doesn’t bear thinking about. Things in the UK are not perfect, but we know what we’ve got – the SNPcult wants us to play Russian Roulette with everything that holds society together – when they can’t deliver two smallish ferries – seven years late and probably £300m over budget……you could NOT make it up!

    SETTING FREE THE BEARS FOR RES. 12 & OSCAR KNOX on 28TH MARCH 2022 10:30 PM

     

    There were posters pouring scorn on my well reasoned arguments about football becoming compulsorily transexual in the near future but there is already a programme on Premier Sports called Trans World Sport

     

    •••••••••••••

     

    A good source for this is from a channel on various social media sites, from ‘Mr E’ who’s channel was called, “Trans estivation” Mr E who brilliantly maps out what this is all about, who’s driving it, and where its being driven to??

     

    To put a scaled idea of how widespread this is, the easiest base to work from is, all guys in Hollywood are girls, all girls are guys, sounds crazy right, that’s because it is, even Clint Eastwood isn’t who we all think he is, thats how far up the foodchain it goes, Mr E outs all of the folk in Hollywood, Music, Media, and Politic’s, Jacinda, Krankie, Theresa May, Angela Merkel, etc, shocking right, think about what Jesus said when he warned us about ALL of the dangers around us that we aren’t even aware of, Jesus said,….

     

    “You have eye’s…. but you cannot see.”

     

    That’s because what we’re not meant to see is right in our face to trick us.

     

    If you read this post and don’t react in your usual way, Zzzzzz, just kidding, I’ll explain as best as I can but if you decide to search this out, don’t search for, Mr E “Transvestivation” channel on, G_O_O_G_L_E as they tend to be, Witch Finder Generals, even though they are one of the biggest witches, along with, Facebook, Twitter, and now, Duck Duck Go, as they are economical with the truth, or suppressors of the truth.

     

    Only saying.

     

    imho, Celtic lay down in front of the ‘woke’ altar when capt Callum was pictured with the R_A_I_N_B_O_W flag, and when we took the knee as USA neoliberals B_L_M were burning down half of USA, city after city, calling TRUMP and, anyone who stood by the laws of nature, and the laws of God, was called a, Nazi??

     

    Really??

     

    We as a club, AGAIN, failed to stand alone, and tell this, ‘woke witches’ bandwagon to eff off, but, AGAIN, Celtic fc blinked, and made us look like curtain twitching sweetie wives.

     

    Is anybody in charge at Celtic fc??

     

    Good luck. 🍀

    Ok. Peace. ✌ 👍

  9. I miss big Jimmy!!!!!!….I liked his early morning posts and his betting history blog is poorer without characters who don’t have an agenda and call out the CHUMPS !!!!

  10. Good morning cqn from the lovely Garngad

     

     

    Let’s hope Cal Mac and Greig Taylor are not used tonight or used sparingly.

     

     

    Get home safe all our bhoys.

     

     

    Put the Huns to the sword on Sunday.

     

     

    D :)

  11. In the last derby at Celtic Park, Hatate ran back from their half to pick up a loose ball on our 6 yard line, no other Celtic midfielder would have done that imo.

     

     

    Play Hatate. Playing Tuesday for Japan and Sunday for us is as easy as his international breaks will ever get I’m afraid.

  12. Back to Basics - Glass Half Full on

    Morning all.

     

     

    Is it just the Scottish lads and Reo Hatate we are now waiting for to come through unscathed?

  13. MARSPAPA on 29TH MARCH 2022 8:58 AM

     

     

    He is indeed, the Danish U21’s play Belgium tonight at 1900.

  14. MACCARGO

     

     

    Cheers, he seems to be impressing the Danish coaches.

     

     

    Can only be good for us mixing with different players and style of play.

    Evening all

     

    Another wee trio of songs from the brilliant Depeche Mode, enjoy.

     

    ——————

     

    Best band in the world , consistently brilliant for over 40 years. Another band that my dad said wouldn’t last 5 minutes and never go as long as the Stones. Fair play to the Stones but they had a 20 year start

    Good morning cqn from the lovely Garngad

     

    Let’s hope Cal Mac and Greig Taylor are not used tonight or used sparingly.

     

    ———————

     

    Totally agree on McGregor – still has the face mask and should not be used in friendlies at all (only reason Clarke is playing him is because the system gets sloppy without him)

     

     

    Taylor should probably play for his own international career – not had much of a run

    Transexuality/gender is not a new phenomenon, physically, mentally or emotionally. Been around since Adam and Eve/big bang

     

     

    Empathy and understanding has increased in recent years which has allowed increased confidence in people who were having a hard time fitting into society, never mind excelling and being genuinely happy.

     

     

    We went through this with workers’ rights, religious rights, women’s rights, disabled rights, gay rights and now transgender rights.

     

     

    On each occasion there was a backlash from the those who supported the status quo and could not see what the issue was or feel empathy.

     

     

    On each occasion there was needed to be an over compensation (perceived or real) to allow fairness to settle, e.g., too much power in certain unions, Catholic schools, women only lists, 3% quotas, outing public figures etc.

     

     

    I see the same process playing out now with transgender issues and the next generation will not see it as an issue hopefully.

     

     

    All progress travels a bumpy road

    Marspapa – cheers re O’Riley.

     

     

    I wasn’t aware of (what I assume to be) his maternal ethnicity or his current international involvement.

    Re Calum’s face mask …

     

     

    … anyone else concerned with the duration of its use?

     

     

    The historical baseline for healing from a fractured cheekbone is c. 6 weeks?

     

     

    Adam King’s brutal, and still unpunished, assault on our captain took place more than 9 weeks ago?

    ‘Re Calum’s face mask …

     

     

     

     

     

     

    … anyone else concerned with the duration of its use?

     

     

     

     

     

     

    The historical baseline for healing from a fractured cheekbone is c. 6 weeks?’

     

     

    ####

     

     

    Would it not still be vulnerable to a further knock for some time after it’s healed? And would the mask not provide some protection?

  21. Wonder if he will do column about Calums mask taking a while to be taken off

     

     

     

    Writing in a newspaper column, Boyd expressed surprise that Rangers did not “test out” McGregor’s face mask during their 3-0 derby defeat last week.

     

     

     

     

     

    It was simply meant as a criticism of the Rangers players for their failure to get close to McGregor.” – Kris Boyd

     

     

    Boyd had written: “Callum McGregor played with a fractured cheekbone. The fact he managed to get through the 90 minutes without anyone testing out that face mask is another story, but his commitment to the team was tremendous.”

     

     

    The pundit later insisted he had “unequivocally” not meant to imply that he had wanted one of the Rangers players to “intentionally try and hurt the midfielder“.

     

     

    “It was simply meant as a criticism of the Rangers players for their failure to get close to McGregor,” Boyd added.

    Willie Syme and son David, Dallas and son, Tiny Wharton, Willie Young, Louis Thow, Bob Cuthill (Ordered off Johnny Doyle at Ayr for hitting him with a cross), Hugh Alexander, Bobby Tait.

     

     

    Another few for the roll of dishonour.

  23. Weebobbycollins on

    They’ll soon be selling ‘Calum McGregor replica masks’ in the superstore.

     

    Petr Cech did it with those headguards.
