Lukasz and the players who step forward for fans more often

203

I should have written about Lukasz Zaluska who left Celtic during the week.  You need a good understudy keeper in order to keep your no. 1 on the top of his game.  Lukasz was never more than a pretender to the throne but he had the confidence of Gordon Strachan, Neil Lennon and latterly, Ronny Deila.

He’s a year older than Craig Gordon, but the bare fact that he made only 17 appearances in the last five seasons reduced his effectiveness.  How regularly do you need to play games before your manager will trust you to step out in a big, must-win, game?  Probably more than slightly more than three a year over five years.

There’s often a great unwritten story when it comes to Celtic players and Lukasz’s is a lengthy tale of sorting out Celtic fans, or the Scots-Polish community, with this or that.  He made the extra effort on many occasions.  There would have been a day I’d have said this effort was rare, but the truth is it’s a lot more common than it was a decade or so back.

    Worrying times for the huns innit?

     

     

    For every 75p their club gets,Rangers fans will spend a tenner.

     

     

    And all watertight and above board-literally!

    They are stuffed.

     

    Their only income is S.Ts hence the campaign by MSM to pretend everything is rosy in the garden.

    read earlier on phils last blog comments,from a man pointing out to a ranting gullibillie.

     

     

     

     

    As my mother, God rest her , used to say tell people like you,

     

    “They are still alive those you have threatened to kill”.

     

    Made me smile anyway:)))

    A chilling thought. and why revenge is best served cold.

  6. BMCUW,

     

    There’s a lot of news happening at the moment about the demise of sevco, paranoia leads me to suspect more than a glitch to stop discussion.

    This must be what yon dial-up was like!

     

     

    Just as well it’s a slow news day,no new signings or departures.

    Their imminent demise isnae news,more a mixture of conjecture,hope and possibility.

     

     

    Although tbh I canny see much chance of a future for them at a level they expect.

  9. mon the hoops!….

    Meanwhile, Celtic have signed Jellé Vøssen, Isa Karim, Barry Douglas, Rab Douglas, Kirk Douglas, thon German fella and, following a tragic slip of Peter Lawwell’s pen, Mo Bangura (again)

    The blog has to be running for the nightshift. It’s the only thing that keeps us moonhowlers sane.

     

     

    Ish…

    Who said we would never again sign a £6m man?

  16. Very happy about the boy Allan, hope his rumoured dislike of us it exaggerated.

     

    Liked him the first time I watched him, very intelligent player for his age.

  17. BOBBY MURDOCH'S CURLED-UP WINKLEPICKERS on

    Really can’t see that Scott Allan is an improvement on other players in our squad. He wouldn’t be a first-pick so will he be happy as a squad player? I doubt it.

  18. Would Allan play not at the moment but he is a very good attacking promising midfield player.

     

    An option could be we buy and loan

     

    back to help his development perhaps.

    Yep like GMS and Armstrong we are starting to collect players for the sake of it, rather than signing players who are better than our first 11.

  20. Getting same error message on Tablet as has been reported,when next page selected error comes up but if reload hit it clears back to selected page.Hope its only a short term hitch.
