Jullien, Forrest and recuperation periods

563

We are already at the stage of the season when a return of Christopher Jullien or James Forrest would have little impact on the outcome.  It will take a scheduling miracle for the Scottish Cup to reach its latter stages before club football ends to allow players to join international squads ahead of the Euros, so the news that Chris is likely to be in recuperation until the start of next season is no real hardship.

The return of James will be a welcome sight but it is hard to see any big picture relevance, no matter how brilliant he plays.  Celtic players get little time to allow limbs to rest and recuperate, this is one such period.

Sunday night in Dingwall is the very last place in Scotland’s tourist trail, apart from the Celtic squad, who will arrive looking for their sixth successive win this month.

Ross County have not played in two weeks since defeat to Dundee United, a period that has seen Hamilton collect 5 points to put the Highlanders bottom of the table.  History records that they were the team who stopped Celtic’s run of 12 consecutive domestic trophies, when they eliminated us from the League Cup during the disastrous month of November.  We owe them one.

  1. AoW, I think now is a good time for that story 😂

    Magwai, that’s brilliant for your daughter you both must be chuffed 👍🏼

    Re Elderado,

     

     

    I met a boy, a nice fella, from EK a couple of years ago who has bought the brand. He was previously involved in importing wine but saw the opportunity to try and take on Buckfast in Lanarkshire.

     

     

    He changed the recipe to get it as close to the Bucky taste as possible and would take it out for taste tests on the streets of the Buckfast Triangle – think a more interesting Pepsi challenge.

     

     

    It is now on the shelves of many a shop in the area priced slightly below the Monk’s tonic.

    As much as I agree with what Neil said re, Sturgeon.

     

    It should have been the coward who said it’not NL.”

     

     

    I`ve got a feeling that if `the coward` had said it, he would have been criticised for not having said it earlier/more forcefully/more critically/etc

  3. Voguepunter, my mates nickname was the Wee Man. Just got in bar, which was packed, and said “your round Wee Man!”

     

     

    Didn’t see the two Snowhites sitting on high stools until they jumped down and started swinging and shouting “wee man, I’ll f#ckin wee man you”.

     

     

    I’m holding them back by their heids while they’re furiously swinging….and not hitting me as I had the reach on them. Meanwhile my mates are rolling about howling until the bouncers flew in.

     

     

    Pair of clowns. 😁

  4. It’s the old joke again –

     

     

    ‘Celtic had good news on the injury front today when it looks like Duffy will not be fit for the Ross County game’.

  5. “When things aren’t going your way, that’s when you really need the fans to stick with you, back you up and help you get out of those bad patches. It’s been difficult for some players in terms of how much criticism and negative messages they’ve got through this hard spell.”

  6. Those who wonder why the SNP cult have it in for Celtic, should also wonder how many months Catholic Education would last in an independent Scotland.

     

     

    It is because of converts from within our kind and their families that the SNP cult have the whip-hand in Scotland. The balance has been tipped by deluded turkeys voting for Christmas….all because they think they are ‘getting at the huns’.

     

     

    We have ten times more friends in the whole of UK than in Scotland – ditch the cult!

    I am far from being a supporter of the SNP but I do not like the idea of schools based on religion.

  8. I agree that PL should be the one calling out Nicola – unlike the way the press brown nose slippy Neil’s will just be put down as a rant.

    I have posted on here before of my lucky escape (regret) of having voted yes at the indie ref.

     

     

    But you have in one short post summed up the reason why I shall never be fooled again.

  10. BB,

     

     

    You may be right and I have missed it. However, even when I’m at work I follow Celtic with interest and I cannot recall seeing something as contentious as this.

     

     

    Cheers and HH.

    Funny that you used Mogwai.

     

    Told the story before, but my blog name comes from that band.

     

    Almore misread the band name on my t-shirt and the Magwai was born.

    I preffered OLD ENGLAND RICH WHITE washed down by a BIG WHITBREAD.

     

     

    Even though I have reason to dislike that particular coccktail as that was my kerry oot on my first date with my wife of over 40 years now.😂😂😂

     

     

    PARK ROAD 67 not a word from you the next we meet and good luck today with the jag.

     

     

    I tried SCOTSMAC it was poison but I drank it the worst I tasted was 4 CROWN I only managed the neck of the bottle before submitting and giving it away to a hun I may add. Not all bad news as he drank it and spewed everywhere for the rest of the night.

     

     

    KEEP THE FAITH

  13. Anyway guys, good chatting.

     

     

    I’ve been home a week and I’ve lost my phone, ( buying a new one and setting up a replacement Sim; nightmare ) the heating packed in and a door mechanism just disappeared off the car yesterday.

     

     

    I hope things come in threes.

     

    Contact the garage or have a swally. No contest.

     

     

    HH to all.

    It’s important to have the choice.”

     

     

    I am not sure that any real `choice` exists now but, regardless, I feel this is the kind of topic that would be better discussed in the pub.

    Brutall, right enough. Some bright spark thought it a good idea to mix whisky with fortified wine. Don’t know how much whisky was in it though. Made in Largs, if I remember correctly.

  19. Sorry being critical of the SNP or having doubts on what an unchecked Scotland would look like for our community does not make you a Unionist.

     

     

    Tactic of calling those who ask questions “Unionists “didn’t work before and still doesn’t, it’s lazy.

     

     

    I do not trust anyone who thinks you can do or say what you like with impunity because you hold a flag above your head.

    Hopefully we can meet up soon and rest assured my lips will be sealed ! Everything went ok with covid jag this morning, I got the Astra Zeneca one , in and out of hospital in no time at all !

  21. Cheers for that St Stivs. What a penalty. A keeper being in the opposition box is always brilliant, taking a penalty just takes it to another level.

     

     

    I loved Boruc. At that time he was the best Celtic keeper of my lifetime IMHO.

     

     

    My memory is terrible – we won that shoot out didn’t we? Who scored the winner or was it a Utd player who missed?

  22. My 79 year old mother got the Astra Zeneca jag during the week.

     

     

    No side effects thankfully – though she did celebrate by buying a 50 year license for Microsoft Office 🤷🏽‍♀️

    They’ve got a new album out haven’t they. I haven’t heard it yet but it sounds like it’s along similar lines to the soundtrack they did for a new series on Sky Atlantic which was great

  25. Watching Southampton Chelsea.

     

    Lovely goal against the run of play by Southampton. A pass into space for the attacker to run onto who sidesteps the goalie and puts it away. I’m always bumping my gums about how ALL our passes are to feet rather than into space. Furthermore, how we never cross a ball into the box.

     

    Now I think I know the reason why. We (Lenny and coaching staff) are simply terrified of the opposition latching on to a loose ball and running at our defence. Our woeful defending, I think, is the main reason we are not creative in attack. Sort the defence and get back to playing football the Glasgow Celtic way
