More injuries and set-piece woes for Spartak

1051

Just as Celtic’s injury problems appear to be lifting Spartak Moscow’s are getting more acute each passing game.  Their cult-hero goalkeeper, Andriy Dykan, was substituted after picking up an injury in yesterday’s win against 10-man Amkar Perm and is unlikely to face Celtic.  Already injured, Pareja, Welliton, Parshivlyuk, Jurado and Romulo, never made the squad.

The goal Spartak lost to ninth-place Amkar, is worthy of note.  It was the eighth goal they have lost to a set piece in the last 10 games.  Celtic have been particularly effective from set pieces in Europe already this season and will see an opportunity in corners and free kicks deep in opposition territory.

Tuesday is the day…..

    £94,426,217.22 aye, but according to the huns, Shunsuke Nakamura’s image rights were worth $100,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 and 25 cents.

  2. A wee word about Evander. Reading between the lines he has not had a further heart attack as stated in press reports but has had a shock delivered from his internal defibrillator. It sounds as if the shock may have been ‘inappropriate’. These devices are programmed to shock if they detect heart rates above a set threshold and getting the programming right can be challenging in some individuals including competitive athletes whose heart rates will increase substantially with exercise. I dont want to give away any more of my background but do know what I’m talking about here.

  3. Could someone repost a link to the rather excellent Hunderground map, as featured here recently, please?

  4. Bryce, everybody knows your background: continuity announcer on STV, and a very good one too.

    Bryce- are you surpised Evander’s been allowed to play a contact sport at a professional level while he still has the defibrillator in situ?

    Woke up this morning and as sleep receded, I remembered the Ryder Cup finale last night. Remarkable theatre that delivered the kind of unscripted drama that defines great sport.

     

     

    Jim Furyk will wake up in a few hours and remember his nightmare on the 18th green. Poor old Jim was completely aghast at what had occurred. It’s rather unusual to see a man become a shadow in just 3 putts.

     

     

    Then he’ll remember Steve Stricker and Tiger Woods on the same green, and maybe won’t feel so bad.

     

     

    Following their win, it is expected that the European team will sober up around February.

    Ole Dick Byrne becomes a shadow when asked to produce a round of drinks, never mind a round of golf.

  9. DBBIA – short answer is yes, very surprised, although I don’t have all the information obviously. If the shock was inappropriate it can be prevented by reprogramming, although there is a risk of the device then ignoring a potentially fatal disturbance of heart rhythm. Many patients with defibrillators have serious psychological problems which are exacerbated by shock therapies, particularly inappropriate ones.

     

     

    !!bb!! I know. Not sure to what extents it’s grown arms & legs over the years!

    Apocryphally, a former Scottish TV anchor presented at A&E with a Condimentary Canal problem. He explained to the Medical staff that he had found himself locked out of the house following a trip to the shops, and had attempted to climb into the house through a back window. Regrettably, he fell backwards, landing on the shopping below, and was thus inadvertantly penetrated by a bottle of well known table sauce.

     

     

    He never did explain though why he chose to climb through the back window naked.

    I spoke to an attending nurse and she related a similar story. Apparently he suffered serious and permanent damage from that.

     

     

    Most accidents happen in the home, so be careful everyone. :-)

  16. Bryce Curdy-The story I heard was about 15 years ago, and current at the time as my ex worked in said hospital.

    I was listening to the radio this morning and they were talking about famous sporting come backs.The one I remember well was in the mid to late 60s Kilmarnock were playing Eintracht in the old fair cities cup and they had los 3-0 in Germany.In the return leg at Rugby the game was only about 10 mins old when a German player hit a ball from about 30yds Campbell Forsyth who was at that time the Scottish international keeper never saw the shot and it nearly tore the net out of the goal making the aggregate score 4-0 to Eintracht.However, Kilmarnock just got tore in and about the Germans and won the match 5-1 and qualified for the next round.What is your greatest comeback memory ? H.H.
