Midfield protection

930

While Neil Lennon’s mind will be more engaged with preparations for next season than SPL results between now and then he will be a bit alarmed at how porous his midfield has been recently. Celtic have been leaking goals at the back in an alarming manner but the cover from midfield has contributed most to the problem.

Injuries have been disruptive but it’s surprising that the team shape has not been maintained, irrespective of who is playing.

    It was bad enough to see it once on these pages, I have no desire to see such phrases appear again least of all under my own moniker.

    It’s the empty seats that you should worry about not the grumblers.Iam sure the sound of silence would suit most players but grumbling from your support is part and parcell of being a footballer. Iam sure anyone under performing at their work could expect to be criticised .

     

    Certain players are too busy thinking about the latest Bentley that’s coming out to even notice the crowd reaction. The irony is they keep getting picked regardless of sub standard performances.

     

    Play some of the fringe players but have the courage to stick with it for more than one game.That will build confidence more than any cheering.

  9. ntasoola @ 23.17

     

     

    This is getting distasteful and offering you a chance to repeat slurs without apology.

     

     

    You knew fine well from the tone of Zbyszek’s previous posts that he has no reason to be defensive on a charge of anti-semitism. He has decried the balance on CQN over Israel in the past. If he used a clumsy expression, he could have had the English language nuances, gently explained to him. You chose to fix the charge and the blame, rather than fix the problem.

     

     

    As for what you said about pete c, I have no reason to know if it is true and less interest in having it repeated, but it was the unprovoked ridiculing of a poster who had not attacked you that convinced me you are not someone I’d like to share further company with.

     

     

    I had hoped that your apology and withdrawal marked you out as someone who understood when a mark of decency had been passed. However, your apology is of the Sevco variety, fleeting and insincere, designed only to extricate you from temporary trouble.

     

     

    You are a strange one, indeed. I hope to hear less of the personal stuff unless you have been attacked first.

     

     

    So, having a go at me is fair game. Forgive me if I choose not to answer back in the near future because I think this will only lead to muck spreading faster.

    Aye, had the same thought masel.

     

     

    He is good enough for the spl, but that is far as it goes imo.

     

     

    We should be aiming a tad higher.

    “All Ah said..

     

     

    ..”Ah dinnae care whit Setting Free the Bears Says…””

     

     

    Let me complete the bit you missed out from the original….

     

     

     

    “Noo..as ye know.. Ah am very big oan Roman Catholicism

     

     

    Ah know it is the True Religion..

     

     

    Ah don’t care whit… Setting Free the Bears Says…

     

     

    It jist ..Is..’

     

     

     

    I was inserted into the middle of 2 opinions on the RC religion and presented as if I was a dissenting voice that had failed to convince you of the contrary.

     

     

    Now, don’t kid a kidder, Kojo! Have the courage of your convictions and don’t backtrack.

     

     

    Back your assertion up or consider having the grace to apologise for the slur.

     

     

    A willingness to apologise is, contrary to your faux-Ayn Rand world view, a sign of strength in a man. continued bluster is a sign of weakness and insecurity.

    Four years ago this week I walked up sandy row. .. to the Shankill rd… into the shankill mission for breakfast. The chef asked if being from glasgow I was a bear… I said… no… im a jungle jim and was raised in Broomloan rd… we had a laugh with the workers from the market and I told them I was walking up the falls.. through the old peace line and up to milltown cemetery at the top of the falls rd.

     

    They laughed and wished me a good day

     

     

    So… the waukeshankill section holds no fears lmao

    You may remember I put some questions to Zbyscek regarding his generalisation of Milliband’s family based on him being Jewish. He did not answer.

     

     

    When an apology is accepted and the acceptor then continues to bleat then clearly they are happier being the aggrieved.

    ex cathedra

     

     

    Do you want Tommy Craig? Or someone like him? Or someone as old as him?

     

     

     

    I was hoping that you might have had inside info ( I have none) which backed up your view that the existing coaches were yes men and Neil brooks no alternative view. However, it seems that was just guess work, an attribution made to fit the facts.

     

     

    ————————————————————————————————————-

     

     

    No I do not want Tommy Craig,I merely used that as an example of an experienced head,I know his recent record but I also remember his record with us.

     

     

    Regarding inside info……..Neil does NOT broke an alternative view.!!

  19. Alec Eiffel

     

     

    I am worried about the empty seats and I might be adding mine to it next year but that will be due to either the recession or Celtic plc’s response to the Sevco affair.

     

     

    This year has been a successful football year and might get better yet.

     

     

     

    Nobody at any work I know is treated to the reaction that footballers get, especially from people who state they are supporters. If I was a Dundee fan, I might have cause to be annoyed at the fare and form. If I wa san Aberdeen fan I might think we spent a lot to not get top six.

     

     

    But try and convince anyone outside CP that we are having a bad season and you will get laughed at more than by the folk fae Dingwall.

     

     

    I will celebrate this title and look forward to a hoped for but not guaranteed double.

    I may be wrong, but I think BFDJ said that sally would sign scoddish players, and some would be english, and some would be jonny foriegner, now, that’s comedy >}}}

    With respect,if you check TC’s record as a No 2 ,i think he is the World Record holder for the manager getting bagged,about 10 mate.Start at Hibs ….

    Thanks for reply.

     

     

    Yes well aware of all of that,I merely used him as an example of the type of guy I think Neil would benefit from.

     

    I think its nice to have mates surround you but at the end of the day you carry the can so you need to know when your off track,takes a bit of gumption to tell someone they are wrong but in the end it can be beneficial.

    I think Celtic should invest all the money saved in the January transfer market for private medicals in the upcoming summer transfer market. Bound tae make a wee fortune. I would never trust the NHS? Maybe this govt could introduce health insurance a la mode of free enterprise american style where we can all suffer in pure catholic agony in our own homes shitting our own beds as we die. Sounds like my kind of society.
