Kasper spooks

277

Like you (if you are typical of the CQN demographic) and me, Kasper Schmeichel is older than Joe Hart.  In itself, this doesn’t mean he is wrong for Celtic, he could be a perfect fit for what we require.

I suspect, however, we will both be alarmed that our recruitment strategy has pivoted so sharply from that of any forward looking football club.

Joe worked out well for us. At the time, I viewed his signing as a consequence of a new manager arriving during lockdown, with very limited scope.

Maybe Brendan will beat the system, this way won titles here back in the 90s, after all.

    Re Buthead

     

     

    I thought watching the last hun game at Celtic Park that the Celtic players felt that he had the weakness you identified in your post.

     

     

    Before Celtic scored, wehad a few near misses with shots from distance. A number of these seemed to miss just outside his left hand post and it seemed at the time thst it was a tactic we were employing.

  3. Clubs at Celtic’s level don’t have the luxury of training young keepers “on the job”. The last that I remember was John Fallon, who eventually lost his place to a 36 year old. As long as a goalie is fit and can still throw himself around the six yard box, then his age is merely an indicator of his experience. KS has the ability, experience and character to be a leader and an inspiration for the squad.

  4. The summer weather so far has been, well poor.

     

     

    Hopefully this wee trio of tunes will but some sunshine on your back.

    Re the Ibrox Refurb Fiasco … I’d suggest the following five very simple questions could reasonably be asked by a credible journalistic community.

     

     

    1. What is the name of the employee who was sacked?

     

     

    2. Is there asbestos in Ibrox?

     

     

    3. Is there any 30+ year old RAAC in Ibrox?

     

     

    4. Based on the current (revised) project plan, what date will heavy equipment be removed from the pitch?

     

     

    5. How long after heavy equipment is removed will the pitch be playable?

    my first thoughts!

    so punter at trumpet rally says..’we cant have this ie shots going off at a rally, not that i’m for gun control’….WTF

     

    sorry but this has PR stunt written all over it!

  13. Reuters News Agency reporting that a member of the audience at the Trump Rally was shot dead, another is in a critical condition. The shooter is also reported as having been shot dead. Trump “grazed by gunfire”

  14. Eyewitness near the rally claims he spotted a gunman crawling on a nearby roof armed with a rifle, witness claims he tried to draw attention of the police and secret service detail, after which the shooter fired a number of shots from at the roof position, and that the shooter was killed shortly afterwards.

     

    Witness also stated there was not that many higher roofs in the rally vicinity and that he saw the shooter clear as day before he started shooting…..

     

    Seems to have been a genuine attempt to kill or at least shoot Trump, the screams around him certainly sounded like a real time reaction

  15. If @CelticFC don’t announce Kasper Schmeichel with a video saying “what’s the goalie Dane ?🇩🇰 “ then I’m done with this app #CelticFC

    We had the The Holly Goalie

     

    Now we’ve got tithe Danish Ghost..

     

     

    Put them together and we’ve got….The Goalie Danish ….

     

     

    Is that right !

    About a minute after Trump is shot, BADA THE FANTASIST is on shouting conspiracy.

    ………….

     

     

    I took Spain to win the Euro’s before a ball was kicked.

     

    I got the odds of 7/1 with the Bookie.

     

     

    Ive also got other bets on in the hope of a Spanish win.

    Decent piece of business I would say. Ideally someone a bit younger would be better but a keeper ten years younger of Kasper’s level wouldn’t have been an easy trick to pull off.

     

    This buys us a couple of years to find somebody who fits the bill and in the meantime we get some much needed experience, a top-level keeper, a good defence organiser and a dressing room leader who is also known to the manager.

     

    Not seeing much of a downside here. Looked sharp enough at the Euros. Buffon went on well into his forties.
