Mind the Kayal Gap

794

Neil Lennon, his goalkeeper and defenders will not be too concerned at the loss of their first goal in domestic football yesterday since Noah was a boy.  John Rankin’s pot-shot from 20-odd yards clipped the post on its way in but the Dundee United player scored from an area of the field that is usually vigorously monitored by Beram Kayal.

We’re going to miss that guy……

  4. TopCorner (14:17), that has to be a joke. Surely? Talking figures like £35M for Gary Hooper is utterly ridiculous in this day and age.

     

     

    Really we should be guaging his value by comparing his performances over the current and previous season against other top players. So, let us compare and contrast…

     

     

    £35M buys the kind of calibre striker that is currently terrorising goalkeepers in the EPL, such as this guy, with 4 in 25 this season and 14 in 31 last season.

     

     

    With Hooperman’s 16 in 29 this season and 22 in 36 last, I reckon we should be asking for something north of £60M, especially bearing in mind that it is far more difficult scoring for Celtic on agricultural quality pitches against the massed defences of the SPL than it is on the immaculate surfaces and less defensively minded EPL opposition.

    i’d love to see us go FIRST all out for SPL

     

     

    SECOND – improve balance sheet

     

     

    THIRD – scout and sign

     

     

    then repeat same process over again

     

     

    correct people in place, no reason why it should not prove to be succesful over time

     

     

    and i’d like a new south stand too, eventually !

     

     

    what d’you think of that ?

  7. Was not that Kayal was missing that allowed them their goal yesterday.

     

    Had more to do with our defenders going to deep and leaving gap between midfielders for opponent to exploit.

     

    We need a general who will control our lines and decide when we push up.

     

    Still think we sat to deep allowing them to much space to exploit in second.

     

    The coaches have not quite perfected the system yet so we still have weaknesses due to this.

     

    We still defend in numbers but spacing is poor leaving a lot of gaps and we never get our central midfielders forward enough to support strikers.

     

    Our off the ball movement is improving but we still need better implementation of the playing system.

    am with you buddy

     

    we signed him for 2.4

     

    if we get from 6-8,

     

    that’s a good deal

     

     

    but !

     

     

    talk at 30-35 is best tactic

     

     

    by doing so, 15m looks like a reasonbale price

     

     

    not to use this tactic is folly, in my book

     

     

    and if we get 10 or more…

     

     

    haha, we’re quids in

     

     

    then on to the next, over to you John Park et al

    A new South Stand,to the same height as the rest of the stadium,would harm the playing surface.

    Are you sure it’s only Winter virus you’ve got and not that near-fatal neurological condition known as Man Flu that has been known to drive men ‘near mad’ and advocate the signing of Ian Black for ra Cellic?

  15. Paul 67

     

     

    Your post above reflects my thoughts exactly. In fact it’s the second time this week you have made this point. Are you thinking of recommending to Lenny the signing of Ian Black as a stop gap? :-)

    So Salmond finds friends in Ireland but not in Nothern Ireland.

     

    Maybe the SNP lack of involvement of Irish opinion within Scotland

     

    is zero because he thinks they are all from Norn Irn like Neil.

  17. The movies save on conversation And the TV saves on sight We met in a head-on collision So I would say our chances would be slight You can lead and I will follow See us dancing cheek to cheek You’ll remember me tomorrow But you won’t give a damn by Wednesday Week Say you love me until you do so Joso singing just like Caruso Three little words roll off your tongue Somehow your face just doesn’t look so young You say you want to strike a bargain Now there is no need to speak You say you want to learn the jargon But you won’t give a damn by Wednesday Week You start acting like a zombie Someone wants your piece of cake You think you want to jump up on me But you won’t give a damn by Wednesday Week

     

     

    Oh what a letdown when the battle was finally won One little breakdown and then it was over and done I wish I had your confidence It’s love and not coincidence Do you say these words to everyone ?You’re fantastic, you’re terrific Your excellence is almost scientific You took the words out of my mouth You put the tongue into my cheek But I’d better lose my memory by Wednesday Week

  18. Here she comes to say good night I’ll get no sleep tonight With a constant vision she still can see She was the girl for me

     

     

    Wednesday week – she loved me Wednesday week – never happened at all

     

     

    There she goes I want to see her again She’s gone to school with her best friend She only does the things she likes to do Now she wants something new

     

     

    Wednesday week …

     

     

    Here she comes …

    “Not Much!”

     

     

    “Tell me Mair..” Ah said..

     

     

    and He said..

     

     

    “O.K…Well.. Broonie,is the Fortunate receiver o’ Guid, Fortune.

    surely not, boss, surely not

     

     

    i get your logic but

     

     

    1 – have you studied the exact path of the sun and exactly how much light gets to exactly which parts of the pitch ? what are the results ?

     

     

    2 – most importantly – the grass we get generally is grown using lamps etc, is that not true ?

     

     

    3 – we should bank enough cash to ever ensure that we have grass ready to swap in at any given time

     

     

    4 – new technologies are comin along all the time

     

     

    also, part of any stand improvement should include a 2-level sub-pitch warm-up area, team bus or coach parkin facility, and of course pitch heating system

     

     

    prob all pie in the sky

     

     

    but we can dream

     

     

    :)

  21. There’s nothing less cool than feeling exhausted From hours of not doing a damn thing at all Not thrilling to chill, steal bandwidth and cable Give shouts to employers and wait for the call

     

     

    There’s a light shining out from the windowsill Not content to project all day long Maybe I could walk a little to the library… closed Maybe I could do this right for once, get my ducks in a row

     

     

    And just stop talking trash or whatever they say Make the bed, sweep the floor, shake the carpet and spray Put my shit in a pile, on the top slap a post-it Don’t worry, someday your skill set will be wanted

     

     

    But today everybody is a little tired It’s Wednesday So at 10: 00, I’m walking down a chilly Boerum To Broadway

     

     

    And it’s you and me and a tall boy of Colt 45 or Bud Light What’s the cheapest one?Get through one more night, I drink fast, I don’t savor Each way takes an hour and at 12: 00 I’ll be gone

    If my calculations are correct Edu’s booking yesterday carries him over the threshold, thereby he will be suspended for the tax dodgers game with Hibs on the 28th Jan.

     

     

    Goain + Lafferty also a yellow away from bans as well

  23. Yell help, too many cooks and a bird in the bush, yell help Yell help, if your mirror busts and your cat gets cussed, yell help `Cause down the road you find someone else who’s looking Down the road you find another sweet lady cooking So I gotta yell help

     

     

    Yell help, some shelter from the storm like the travel agent warned Yell help, if you can help your superstitions they gonna keep you warm `Cause down the road you find someone else who’s looking Down the road you seen another sweet lady cooking So I gotta yell help

     

     

    I wish tonight wasn’t Wednesday night I wish it was the twelth of July, yell help And you’re looking at the guy whose eyes can’t deny That he wishes he were somewhere else tonight

     

     

    Well I met this woman down in New Orleans Lord she built just like a dream Even wore stockings that had seams And she was ugly

     

     

    Now hell I don’t mind women of her kind I’ll even pay sometimes for a woman that’s ugly

     

     

    She built like a steamroller Just the kind to mow you over anytime Hey the moment might arrive

     

     

    On Bourbon Street Well the ugliest woman you’ll ever meet But she’s mine all mine and she’s ugly So I better yell help

  24. should be..

  26. Great comment from our manager. I know Hooper isn’t worth 35m. You know it. Neil knows it too. It’s a signal of intent that we value our players, and any club wanting them better open their purse strings a little wider. It’ll do Hooper’s confidence no harm, it’ll boosts the league profile, and it’ll no doubt makes a few Rangers fans nervous.

  27. Meet a part of me that feels like every other day. It has been seen in pictures and in alleyways. Can see it through your walls. Can see it through your fall. Can see it on yourfloor, wrongway. Lift your head up, Wednesday. It’s almost 2:30. When the walls start falling down you’ll be last to be found. That’s alright, malt liquor. So you can promise me a day. Not gonna promise nothing anyway. Say you will,say you will and then you don’t.
