Kris, Nielson on opinions, careless cautions

731

Player who has been out since April in shock Uefa squad omission. The only surprise about Kris Commons and Uefa lists is that he was included for the earlier rounds, despite not pulling on a Celtic shirt since April through injury. He was there because there was space on the A list. He’s now been omitted because we signed Scott Sinclair and Brendan Rodgers needed to remove one name to keep his options open for a wildcard.

Kris’ chances of being fit enough to play are less than Patrick Roberts’ so his name came off the list.

I don’t habitually dig up managers at other clubs, but Robbie Nielson is testing the limits of incredulity. When asked about Scott Brown calling Jamie Walker a cheat, he said “If you have got an opinion on anything you are better just keeping it to yourself.”

This is the guy who can’t shut his mouth about referees, including an incident last season when he thought action should have been taken against……. Scott Brown.

Robbie, if you can dish it out but you can’t take it, maybe you are better just keeping your stray opinions to yourself.

We collected four yellow cards at Tynecastle: Gordon, Brown, Dembele and Sinclair. None of them incurred incurred when the ball was in play. Craig Gordon’s was for not going to his line at the Hearts penalty, Moussa Dembele’s was for knocking the ball away, Scott Sinclair’s was for running into the crowd after scoring a debut goal (he’s knew, he should learn, but it’s a clear yellow card) and Scott Brown’s for dissent.

If we’re going to tot up cautions, we should at least do it during play when there is some advantage to be won. Four conceded carelessly off the ball is unusual and could cost us later in the season.

Scott Brown in particular should take note, that was his second caution of the season for dissent, the first coming in Astana. Scott’s a hugely important player to Celtic, previous absences from Europe due to off-the-ball indiscretions should be acting as an inhibitor at this stage of his career.

    Forgot about Jamie.

     

     

    Pleased that the club are pro-active about getting proper game experience for Dev Sq players.

  3. …and Vasquez (formerly of Palermo) scores on his debut against RM for Sevilla. Nice finish.

  4. See Joe Dodoo starts tonight for the newcomers. So…

     

     

    Dodoo in for Fanni?

     

     

    Fanni in the doodoo.

     

     

    New defensive partnership would be Fanni Hill.

     

     

    Fanni doesn’t have the legs anymore.

     

     

    Desperate times for Fanni

     

     

    Is Fanni too old?

     

     

    Fanni has a groin strain.

     

     

    Oh my sides…

    Looking at the state of the crumbling Bigotdome, by October it’ll be Fanni by Gaslight.

  7. Jaysus, I feel like I’m back in National School again with all my 12 yr old pals having the crack sorry that should read craic.

     

    I remember well, when one of the lads stole the legendary book Fanny Hill from his older brother and for a couple of days was the most popular boy in the class until his brother was tipped off, cue a kick in the arse & Fanny disappeared, it took me 6 more years before I got to read the book.

     

    It makes no difference to me what names the Sevco defence have, They are and always will be a shower of cnuts anyway.

  8. Fanni to sign for The Rangers during a turbulent period.

     

     

    Now, that’s definitely a red.

  9. I assume you are all aware that here in the US of A Fanny describes a different part of the female anatomy, although it still admirably describes Sevco defenders, fans and management.

  10. The young ghuns seem to be bossing it over Albion Rovers but can’t find the net. Still scoreless after an hour.

    Apparently Warbs has been on CQN and says…”That’s it! I’n not havin Tims makin fun a Fanni. It’s disrespectful. We’ve got Dodoo noo so that’ll do”

  12. Replace a world in a film title with Fanni

     

     

    Fannibusters (Ghostbusters)

     

     

    Raiders of the lost Fanni

     

     

    Star Wars, The Phantom Fanni

     

     

     

    etc etc etc
