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.

    The SFA need to come out and say if it’s companies or clubs who play in the leagues. Getting far too confusing…..

  4. Celtic_First on

    Calling for invaders to leave your country isn’t racist or xenophobic. Visitors from all over are welcome in Ireland, it’s just that practically no visitors down through the centuries tried to starve the people, outlawed the religion the majority loved, went round pillaging, murdering innocent people indiscriminately, forcing people to flee for their lives and claiming droit de seigneur every time they took a fancy to a local wench.

     

     

    Where is that sort of visitor going to find a welcome? It did nothing for the image of the Vikings and the English clearly took a long, long time to learn the lesson.

     

     

    Were the calls for them to go home because they were English or because of all that raping, pillaging and murdering? Hmmm.

     

     

    Nor is wanting people like that to go home a gesture of extreme nationalism. Extreme nationalism is imposing your language, your laws, your head of state on people from another land. Extreme nationalism is thinking your nationality is the best and everyone who doesn’t share it is a lesser being of lesser value.

  8. I love Iain Banks…….great Scottish wordsmith.

     

    At least I’ll be in good company.

     

    Don’t mean to be arrogant but one of my favourite gifts to give is of his books……..sci-fi or earth bound.

    What’s changed since January when he was the most vocal of the 3 stooges about progressing with current proposal?

     

     

    Oh that’s right, how stupid of me….

  13. Disciplinary charge, Isn’t that what we wanted?

    13:52

     

     

    Yes, but the answer is obvious. Do companies or clubs win trophies?

     

     

    A club can change hands. Celtic have. Many have. Hard to think of one that hasn’t. As long as the new owners buy the old owners out, the club continues.

     

     

    What made the difference between Fergus McCann buying Celtic and David Murray buying Rangers (sorry to mention both acquisitions in the same breath) is that they each bought a going concern. Even Craig Whyte bought a going concern (for a pound).

     

     

    What Charles Green bought for Sevco was a series of cherry-picked assets from a company that was no longer a going concern and that promptly went into liquidation. We might have gone into liquidation in 1993, but Fergus stopped that from happening. Charles Green had no interest in stopping that from happening to Rangers. He didn’t want to take on the debts and the responsibilities. He didn’t want a going concern. So Rangers died. The club died.

    Two football fans have been banned for attending matches for five years after singing offensive songs at a Rangers FC match.

    When the guilty bigots were asked if they had anything to say on the sentence they both shed taes of joy and were led out of court shouting “Your Honour THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU,no more watching that S**** for 5 years”(alledgedly) :))

    Juve blogs can’t resist linking Conte’s ” you need to spend big money to compete with teams like Bayern ” —— to this .

     

     

    Wages paid to Anelka since he signed for Juve —– 750 k euros after tax .—total game time for Anelka since he signed for Juve —–23 minutes..

  17. Is it just me or has football become so poltically sensitive supporters or managers will be unable to fart whilst at a game for fear of being charged with offensive behaviour?

     

    Who killed common sense and when is some sense of perspective going to get restored?

    That is the best defence of our right to sing our songs of celebration and remembrance that I have EVER seen.

     

     

    Shame it’s too big for a t-shirt or banner.

     

     

    It deserves wider exposure.

    New world record for a 3rd division club. Number of banning orders in a season.

     

    This institution must be rushed up the leagues. The SPL needs a strong Sevco!

    iki. Thank you. It still makes me laugh after all this time. Danny Kaye was a true comic genius, but I liked the King’s reply at the end ;” Stop this mockery”.

     

     

    Very apt in the present context.

  22. I’m not sure serving banning orders on the orcs is a punishment that fits the crime, basically they’re found guilty but getting off with it.

    Longmuir is obviously up for a damage-limitation job. He has been highlighted by Cosgrove, Speirs and English as doing Sevco’s bidding. Will be trying to say it’s nonsense.

  27. No doubt Neil will take his punishment and issue an apology. Celtic will say nothing and on we go. Business as usual.
