Manager happy with preparations ahead of tomorrow

Half the battle when it comes to PR is not to score an own goal, which Neil Lennon managed to do in his pre-match press conference today when asked about the local ‘tradition’ of ritualistic animal slaughter before the game.  “You have to respect the traditions in Kazakhstan, they have a different culture.  We have our traditions.

“Our scouts watched Shakhter’s game against Astana on Friday.  We know the played a weakened team.

“We arrived early to adapt to the weather condition.  The journey went well.

“Tomorrow we play against a strong team.  It’s important to get a good result in the first game to increase our chances of reaching the Champions League group stage.”

Really looking forward to this one now.

    Blog is very funny today.

     

     

    Never mind SSM, we have SMTs (Sharp Minded Tims)

     

     

    Does that mean that Black will be getting sacrificed?

  4. I met Ian Blacks uncle in Toronto recently – asked him if he thought he was for the off.

     

    He told me that he was going nowhere. meanwhile……………………

  5. are we surprised about the allegations re Ian Black ? Surely Ally will demand to know who the” allegators” are? After that there is only one thing to be done…make him club captain, they deserve each other.

    Roy Greenslade and the Guardian taking an interest is the last thing the huns would want and can only be good for the truth finally leaking out of hunland

    Ian Black

     

     

    Sevconian midfield enforcer.

     

     

    Does exactly what it says on the tin.

    “how do they know/prove that?”

     

     

    Not sure what proof the SFA has but they are very specific with the details; between 4 March, 2006 and 28 July 2013 betting on his teams to lose in three games, betting in another 10 games involving his teams and betting 147 time on other matches.

     

     

    He probably has an account in his own name or has been using his credit card.

     

     

    The timing is interesting right enough – given that redundancies are expected down Ibroke way.

    Black is alleged to have been doing this between 2006 and 2013.

     

     

    I expect the SFA to find him guilty but that no sporting advantage was gained by any team.

    I think there has been a wee bit of masonry going on with black..

  14. CQN has been great over the yrs for providing info on where to catch games on tv, your latest challenge should you accept it….where can I find a bar showing the game in Christchurch NZ at 5am??
