Jim Goodwin’s proper football team

354

In their last four outings, St Mirren won 1-5 at Tannadice, 1-2 at Celtic Park and beat Kilmarnock 2-0.  Their only points dropped was a 1-2 home defeat to Hibs after going down to 10 men early in the game.  You will not need to be reminded how Celtic teams in better form have struggled at St Mirren Park against home teams in significantly poorer form.  Or that St Mirren are the only Scottish club to beat Newco this season.

Jim Goodwin has built a proper football team* that will take points off anyone who arrives ill prepared for the task.  I find the odds, which favour a Celtic win, a tad ambitious.

*St Mirren baiting will resume when appropriate.

  1. Apparently the No1 record on your 7th birthday is your song for 2021 – don’t get it either but mines is from that famous Glaswegian Lonnie Donegan – Gamblin Man (which I’m not)

     

    Think Crying by Roy Orbison should be most of ours

  2. That’s interesting about the Big Hauns guy……………..

     

     

    In my reading of the previous headlines….I’d assumed the former currant had been wrongly done……………

     

    ………..but with the recent explanation its clever that ALL the evidence has been wiped……..well, that’s just too klever.

     

     

    Aye.

    Agreed

     

     

    In terms of both football and politics the Herald has nailed its colours to the mast.

     

     

    A once respected paper reduced to M Lindsay and C Jack G51 fanboy pish.

     

     

    =============================

     

    The herald never has or never will be taken seriousy as a newspaper.Their attempt years ago by moving to broadsheet and a bigger business section met with derision from farmers who were used to cattle prices on page2.

     

    The Herald are part of the hun ‘ run it by them’ camp.Shoen up disastrously on Hugh Adams death they speak to murray who nods ex cheating hun historian to do the obituary.

     

    he proceeds to make claims on hughs health wrongly as well as mentioning Sir hunner of pence more than the man that died ….hugh rebuilt ibrox with pools.the masonic hand of murray was cut off as the family got an apology and a 2nd obituary made.

     

    so for herald jus put in tbe vermin column

  4. I’d use it to buy Nir Biton. 😀

     

     

    Bargain at that price.

     

     

    Actually I’ve always liked him.

  5. Nir Bitton.

     

     

    14 seasons as a professional footballer.

    4 scottish cups

     

    5 league cups

     

     

    he is rubbish right enough.

  6. Nir Bitton has served Celtic well over the years – often squeezed into non Bitton shaped gaps in the team. If he goes he deserves a place in history.

  7. What is the Stars on

    Who would win in fight between Nir Bitton potentially the best midfielder in Scotland against Olivier Ntcham potentially the best midfielder in Scotland?

     

     

    Answer has to be Jonny Hayes

  9. I read with some dismay about a new term named “Influencers”. Their job as the name suggests is attempting to influence things from politics to sport and especially minority groups.

     

    I am not homophobic in any way but with the amount of coverage they get on any media platforms is quite staggering when you consider the percentage of LGBT in the world is less than 2%. Watching Tv and film you would not think that , but if you dare criticise you’re immediately screamed at as , you are homophobic.

     

    I’m away off point here but I reckon some “influencer ” is at work trying to get Frank Lampard in as Celtic manager. If he were appointed it would be a vanity project, Gerrard V Lampard, nothing more and both when they tire of it, they will be off to sunnier climes.

     

    It does worry when I think of the club I love, being used in such a manner

     

     

     

    SCHUMMI

  10. I’ve yet to see the wide-faced-Frank, linked with the Bhoys………….

     

     

    Frank’s not a manager of sufficient stature for the future of Celtic.

     

     

    He might be a millionaire but he’s a million miles away from being right for us.

     

     

    Meeja guff.

  11. On 15 August 2014, Celtic legend Derk Boeriggter was cited by the SFA for diving to unlawfully gain a penalty kick during a match against St. Johnstone.

     

     

    He subsequently accepted a two-match ban for “simulation” in the incident

    It used to be worth reading but that was a long time ago now.

     

     

     

     

    Tom Shields, Jack McLean, Ian Archer, Colm Brogan, Cyril Horn. No one of that standard nowadays. Not even close.

    Pints through time – No. 5

     

     

    The Manx Bar, in Glebe Street, Townhead, was jammed to the rafters on Coronation night 1953, when publican Joseph Kelly decided to sell drinks at 1937 prices – the year of the previous Coronation.

     

     

    Also, the first pub in the city to install a TV.

    I’m sure I remember video evidence showing contact in that incident was also ignored by the panel and the ban upheld.

  16. The Argosy

     

    I started an apprenticeship in 1966 in Hillington. I was 16 at the time but they took me to the argosy on fair Friday after we finished at lunchtime. After 3 pints of bottled Guiness and 3 dark rums needless to say I was blootered.

     

    Remember getting on the no15 bus – fell asleep and woke up going into town but traveling the wrong way . Anyway the conductor – remember them – said ‘are you see right son’ – as I got off still a bit the worse for wear. It was nearly 6pm by this time.

     

    Anyway got my bus to toryglen and straight to bed. Luckily I’d got my holiday pay still in tact.

     

     

    Lesson – don’t mix Guinness and dark rum
