Congratulations to Scotland’s Player of the Year, Stefan Johansen, and Young Player of the Year, Jason Denayer. It’s fair to say Stefan had an underwhelming first eight months in Scotland, but the turnaround since October has been stark.
It was during our home defeat to Hamilton Accies that month that I noticed a change in his game. He took on more responsibility and pressed incessantly for the equaliser. The next game, away to Ross County, was a Johansen virtuoso performance and he’s never looked back.
There was a similar ‘So what?’ reaction to Jason’s early season performances. Performances were far more like Efe Ambrose than Virgil van Dijk, but he grew increasingly assured as the season progressed. His international debut two months ago was merited.
Manchester City want him back for next season, where he’ll be second reserve for central defence. On the upside, he’ll get six games, some of which will be in the cups against lower league opponents. If City and the player want to map a route to the first team, this is a step in the process, but it’s not without its risks to the player.

Good post.
Really sad to see CQN giving prominence to betting websites. Shoddy.

There are plenty of them
ChairBhoy, your post was everything Hannan’s and every other SMSM journey should be looking to be.
Impartial, accurate, well thought through and factual.
Good post.

Martin Hannan will have to live with himself .
but if you want a career in the SMSM, there are certain things you need to lose before you get your foot on the 2nd rung.
Honesty, integrity, morals & and a need to write the truth.

The royal family is bread and circuses. Sometimes I can’t believe we are 250 years after the Enlightenment. Hope it’s not too warm way down South.

That’s an excellent response to martin hannan and one deserving of a wider audience than cqn
Just saw the new home strip….FABBY…..

You have more patience than me. I gave up reading his gibberish after a few paras.
A fine detailed rebuttal but I think you might need a lie down in you dark room now.
Keep a cool drink handy.

Chairbhoy,
You should post that on SFM, deserves wider non-Celtic audience

Excellent
Thanks Ghuys, the positive feedback is appreciated.
The fact is, when Stewart Regan et al came out with their, Scotland needs a strong Rangers nonsense in 2012 it got to me. Here was a guy from a Criketing background who seemed to know little of Scotland’s Footballing history.
So I wrote him an e-mail at the time, pretty much making the points I make in my last post. And I must say, three years later my e-mail reads like a prophecy – not that it was news to any of us.
To read the same Scotland need a strong…… nonsense espoused three years later after all we now know and that piece to come from an alleged Celtic supporter was to me ridiculous.
I could’ve and maybe should’ve let it pass but the guy didn’t have the manners to include one salient fact in the piece.
Have a Champion evening – Hail Hail
BTW: SFM don’t let me post there, much more decerning than CQN:-)
Arsenal have played some wonderful football at times during this game
Top post Chairbhoy.
You highlight that the huns’ devil take the hindmost attitude damaged Scottish football to an unimaginable extent that has taken/ will take decades to repair. The only people who miss the huns are the huns and those who would prefer to spit venom for 90 minutes than watch a football match.
Excellent piece chair bhoy well worth reading by all.
Lubo it may well be a pantomime, In an attempt to win back the disillusioned working man Labour sent a comedian wearing lipstick to George Sqaure.. Bravo Ernie and co. (London) ltd
Can I get a pointer to Chairbhoy’s excellence?
Thanks in advance.

Watching the snooker and just saw a view from the back row. A bit like the back of the Celtic end in the 80’s at Hampden

Were all those occupying it being soaked by the rain?
Herbo,
Sean Murphy, a Hun name if I’ve every heard one :)
Theglasgowcelticway,
Or pish running doon the stairs………
Bingham for me
Besides. Murphy spells his first name Shaun. .
It’s Sean. …right! !!!
presstonpans bhoy.
God! remember the Celtic end at Hampden used to be a kind of black ash held in place by wood.It’s not much better these days.
Lads,
Enjoying the day.
Nobody likes laughing about them more than me. Howav, as our old friend Kojo would say, we’re Champions.
Feck them. Let’s not judge ourselves in accordance with them.
Better than that CSC

Theglasgowcelticway,
I recall the 1980 final scoring the goal and ending up on the ground with all that ash over my coupon. Didn’t mind though!
