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.

    No controversy or paranoia here, I am relpying to people who are saying what he did is a bookable offence, I disagree that’s all, and I know I am right in saying it’s down to the referee’s discretion.

     

    He didn’t break any of the rules as stated, nothing more, nothing less.

    Delighted Tom Rogic has signed on, hopefully BR can get him fit, a fit TR will cause no end of bother to other teams.

  5. Fanni will reject signing for the huns,

     

     

    After getting a tour of the training ground and seeing the knuckle draggers training he was heard to say,

     

     

    “Fanni might only be my name BUT I will not play with another 10 Fannies!!”

     

     

    As he hot footed it out of the door he was heard to shout

     

     

    “Lee Wallace IS a grass!”

  7. Earlier in the day Fanni met with Dave Ming.

     

     

    After the meeting he was heard telling his agent’

     

     

    “I know my name is Fanni, but something smells fishy about this.”

     

     

    AS heleft the boardroom he emailed his wife.

     

     

    Lee Wallace IS a grass

  8. When we were interested in that French player we had Balde and Naylor and Telfer in the team. The camera behind the goal would see:

    SUNDERLAND CLOSE ON UTD DUO

     

     

    Sky sources understand Sunderland have agreed a fee with Manchester United for the transfers of Paddy McNair and Donald Love.

    Does it not seem a little absurd for a dead team to have a Fanni…. A real Fanni….. That has to checked oot by the real Fannies at Hampdump…..they can all go home a check oot their pump up wans and then have a meeting aboot their fannies….

  13. At the end of the day Fanni leaves the orcdome by the side entrance and is accosted by some zombies,

     

     

    He was heard telling the taxi driver (who is still waiting on being paid)

     

     

    “I know my name is Fanni BUT I now call the zombie fans thrush…………..irritable fannies!!!!”

     

     

    As he sat on the plane he thanked the stewardess for a nice glass of vino and told her.

     

     

    Lee Wallace Is a grass

  14. There is an easy solution to crowd surge

     

     

    Rail standing/seating

     

     

    This would prevent people surging forward across rows and causing a crush. You know it makes sense to put this in all away ends where virtually all supports stand up.

  15. Sky sources understand Sevco have agreed a fee with The Toon(s) for the transfers of Paddy McGiny’s Goat and Donald Duck….

  16. Fanni guaranteed to have a bad week.

     

     

    Most likely when they play………wait for it……………… Aberdeen at home!!!

     

     

    Man that was gash!!!!!!!
