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.

  1. I won’t beat about the bush…..I’d like to change the topic of potential Zombie signing…..

     

     

    I see young Aidan Nesbitt was in starting line up for Morton at Hamilton tonight…..they won 2-1….any info on his performance?

  2. Yous may well mock them for their new signing target, but already new sponsorship options have opened up them and a deal is erm in the pipeline with Tampax rumoured to have slipped right in there.

    Can you imagine how quick Walker will go down if Fanni is anywhere near him?

    They don’t like being penetrated, fair enough. They’ll need more protection but shouldn’t leave any new signings until too latex in the window.

    Fanni problems? The sevs will have to employ a gynaecologist as well as a club doctor. A hard day at the orifice etc etc.

    I used to think an ItchiFanni was a Japanese motor bike until I discovered Smirnoff.
