Howe, Falkirk with a grievance

368

You and I have seen enough of the football business to know that even when someone verbally commits to joining Celtic, we should assume nothing.  Eddie Howe wanted his next destination to be an English Premier League city, not Glasgow.  Right now, the Bat Signal is lighting the clouds, anyone who wants to secure English football’s best young manager had better make their move over the weekend.  This is how football works, so let’s not get carried away.

If he arrives, it will be an appointment at the higher end of expectations, compare and contrast to Man City youth coaches who have never been in charge of a dressing room full of adults.  Or even Roy the Intense.

Having filtered through so many possibilities in recent weeks, I can find fault with every one of them, even Brendan Rodgers, who is clearly the best manager in British football right now, did not get a tick in the box when it came to recruitment.  We will critically assess Howe if and when he becomes Celtic manager. For now, let’s just hope we get our man.

Falkirk are atop the third tier and nurse a grievance from a year ago, when they were pipped to promotion by 0.03 of a point per game average by Raith Rovers.  Tomorrow’s Scottish Cup tie has all the hallmarks of an underdog fully motivated against an inconsistent giant.  Some of us will remember a comparable freezing cold night 15 years ago when a young Falkirk striker, Anthony Stokes, scored at Celtic Park on his way to a penalty competition victory in the League Cup.  Let’s turn up prepared and hungry this time; I want the Scottish Cup.

  1. One up front.

     

     

    And that one is Griffiths.

     

    He must have been looking good in training.

     

    9 months too late

  2. Sorry to revert to non-football. Those who refuse the vaccine are NOT likely to pass it on any more than those who have had the vaccine. They are just going to suffer in-vaccinated symptoms. Those with vaccine are not immune but are less likely to catch it and it will be less severe if they do.

  3. As a way of explaining by example…

     

     

    Someone with COVID touches the door handle , leaving the virus on it.

     

     

    A non-vaccinated and a vaccinated person touch the door handle. Both will now equally spread the virus (assuming the don’t wash their hands). If both wipe their eyes / mouth with the infected hand, the vaccinated person is more likely to be unaffected. The un-vaccinated person will most likely catch the virus.

  4. Hat trick for Griffiths tonight, dispelling the myth of the can’t get fit striker. Double for Griffiths at Wembley. OK, I’m getting a wee bit carried away with the latter, but he can still be part of our squad next year.

  5. 1 striker v Falkirk!

     

     

    What kind of ‘draw’ are we playing for?

     

    0-0 or the draw for the next round?

  6. SFTB – canamalars firstlink is not one to Roll with, disnae mean to say the 2nd isnae worth watching. I will in Good time.

     

     

    Really looking forward to working from Home.

     

     

    Hail Hail

    Never made it to Hampden until late 60s. Have seen the old newsreels of the the 1963 final, and it seems Celtic played very well. Think Bobby Murdoch scored our goal from an inside forward position but haven’t checked back. Do know that Jimmy Johnstone played in the first match, and had only made his debut a little while earlier, (we’ll keep that result quiet) and Bob Kelly dropped him for the replay. Had to wait till 65 after that.

  8. Celtic Mac

     

    65 was my second final – my dad took me to the 61 replay against Big Jock’s Dunfermline😰

  9. jamesgang,

     

     

    1 striker is not necessarily a defensive thang.

     

     

    It can be an amazing way to break doon packed defences.

     

     

    Love Spreads.

    I reckon Kennedy has given up on getting the job. Either that or he is as bad as he appears.

    Wow JHB in not copying and pasting from the express shock.

     

     

    Did someone send that link to the tory?

  12. gene

     

     

    So Celtic made the final in 61,63, 65, 66, 67, 69, won three lost three.

     

    Of course Jock also reached the final as you say in 61, plus 70, 71, 72, 73, 74, 75 and 77.

     

    Great Cup team. But we have the chance to win five in a row this time around.

  13. Canamalar it looks like OCD obsession on

    SFTB,

     

    Already went through that one and again it did not provide anything that debunked, it provided no evidence beyond hearsay, and lied about her incarceration. The video I provided, displays the documentary evidence and her legal teams statements that no charges were ever made, never mind dropped as they state, nor was there ever any search warrants issued to search for the so called evidence that she stole documents and data from the lab. Why would so many armed men in military garb turn up to her house for non-violent suspect without a charge sheet or search warrant?. If charges were never brought against her, how can she be a “fugitive from justice”? If she was so wrong, why the 5 year gag order?

     

    The article simply done a character assination and mud slinging job. She started as a student, a lab assistant is that something that is unusual? does it make her any less qualified, was her Phd worth less because she started as a lab assistant? Thats the tone of the whole article by two people who are not even part of the organisations editorial department, they say “Science fact checked the video” but then go on to qualify the article was published seperatly from the Science editorial department, released under the “news department” which would imply Science did not fact check the video.

     

    more than a few strange issues with that article appear to have pased you by, maybe you can give your interpretation, why is the link to the plandemic website blocked?

     

    why did they fail to address her claim about who owns the patents, and the drugs previously listed on the WHO essential medicines and why they are withdrawn.

     

    They ignore her reference to the military tests done and published thesis that influenza vaccines increase susceptibility to covid but cherry picked from that same section of the interview.

     

     

    the follow up video asks some fundamental questions as to how Fauci and is colleagues can take out a patent on Covid virus and its detection, when it is illegal to patent natural viruses and illegal to develop new viruses?

     

     

    I think maybe you need to watch the video’s witha more open mind. There are too many omissions in the “debunk” article which does not debunk anytrhing except the writers own objectivity and integrity.

     

     

    The “head scratching assertions” about face masks causing self-infection is a well researched topic, a look at the archives on science direct or proquest before covid will show you that.
