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.

  1. #dejablue Tradesmen being advised to stop working at Ibrox as there is no money to pay what’s already due, nevermind for additional work.

     

     

    From Cartuja on Twitter

     

     

    Hashtag is genius!

  2. Money does not make you happy but the lack of it can make you very unhappy and grind you down. The Kojo/Jungle Jim interplay on this one brought to mind a snippet in a documentary I saw a couple of years ago about some down & out old Irish lads knocking around London. One poor soul whose mind was sossled from years of booze was asked whether he was happy or sad with his life. His answer was “Well I check and if Celtic win then I’m happy and if Celtic lose then I’m sad.”

     

    This is not something I made up, twas straight from the lips of an Irish Wino in London. Made me think him with nothing and me with plenty are really not too unlike at all

    Haha- SSB “we don’t have a black & white TV deal…”

     

     

    see the conedy gold that is RC, they are bumpers, if you said some of their classic ones in the work or pub you would get slaughtered.

     

     

    ps.

     

    told last week that a Feasabilility study for the areas around the Edwardian toilet block was not entered into as Brokers asked for cash up front.

    Noticed in the Evening Times that although Celtic intend to opt out of an early season SPL match on August 10, Neil Lennon could not confirm who or where Celtic would be playing on that date. Surprising given that we, on here at least, were under the impression that we had agreed to play Liverpool in Dublin on that date. I pointed out at the time that Celtic had turned down an invitation to play Liverpool at Anfield for Stephen Gerrard’s testimonial in order to play the same team in Dublin. For what it is worth, although playing in Dublin would probably be worth more financially, if we have a choice we should agree to play at Anfield. With the publication of the Hillsborough report last year, and its’ ongoing impact it would be appropriate for us to show solidarity with the Liverpool support and continue to demand justice for the 96, one of whom of course was Stephen Gerrard’s cousin.

  5. Burghbhoy, you are bloody lucky you weren’t feeling amorous and sent her an inviting text.

    Auldheid ‏@Auldheid 6m @AndyMcCrimmon @THE_TBK Under UEFA FFP Rangers are dead. They are dead because UEFA do not allow clubs to fold and rise again as same club.

    Auldheid ‏@Auldheid 10m @JimDelahunt Presumably SPL think they have better chance of being paid by theclub who say they are same club as the 1 who were found guilty

  9. Will Burghbhoys post make the CQN Annual well if it was along the lines that I suggested it could have been, then it certainly would have.

  10. I see De Canio getting it hot from all directions. He’s a lunatic, in the Chestertonian sense, that all the world is wrong and he is right. However, declaring himself a fascist should not preclude him from managing a football team, as would being a communist, a member of the Legion of Mary, a Rosicrucian, or whatever. He got the job on his perceived ability as a manager. Milliband “resigning” when he was on his way to the States anyway is worthy of being seen as a Sevco moment. Joke man and joke politician.

     

    A man’s beliefs can be belittled and defamed or ignored, but they are still his beliefs. My own are well known, but just as we have the likes of Kojo and his differing persona on here, and his views, does not mean he should be barred or gagged. That’s the Sevco/Scottish MSM way. That is not the Celtic way.

     

    The same scenario should apply to De Canio.

    Agreed,about the pet hypothesis of some that do not stand up to scrutiny.

     

     

    My own hypothesis ( i like this word you use ) involves utter despair when

     

    I watch Celtic play long balls from our keeper to an area hopefully where

     

    Samaras may or may not win an header and nod the ball into a space where

     

    no Celtic player is.Tactics from the dark ages.

     

    Worse still tactics from the Wattie Cardigan.

     

     

    If the playing surface suits,this season more than any other we should

     

    be striving to pay with energy and panache.

     

    Style over substance.Youth before prima-donnas who face no consequence

     

    from a lazy performance. An opportunity missed this season.

     

    I hope NF.Lennon addresses this malaise next season.HH

    Fair enough on that, hadn’t checked it out properly and appreciate the clarification.

  13. a communist, a member of the Legion of Mary, a Rosicrucian, or whatever.

     

     

    do you think the time is right for a zombie manager ?

     

     

    i did note milliband was on £115k for 15 days work in his position at Sunderland.

    From a guy in my work.

     

    Eirecamper-Just speaking to a guy in barbers. He is a Hun who has been doing joinery work in ibrox for weeks.

     

    Owed £17k and was advised by the stadium manager who got the bump the other day not to do anymore work this week because they have no money to pay him.

  15. F/B is funny sometimes…

    Ibrox. Phone rings – “Mr Green you owe us money for the legal costs re the Nimmo enquiry, you know the one that found Rangers guilty” – Chuck, “get lost we’re a different club now, chase the old club not us.” Phone rings again – Mr Green it is the Advertising Standards Authority here, can you confirm that you are a new club formed in 2012?” – Chuck – “No we have 140 years of history, world records for all sorts of things – the club just won our 55th title on Saturday.”
