One man’s cloud

1060

Adam Matthews has been on top form this season, his pace and partnership with Mikael Lustig have been unfailing for Celtic, so Neil Lennon will clearly feel robbed at a top players injury-enforced absence for three months.

It could be worse.

An injury to Forster, Ambrose, van Dijk or Izaguirre would be difficult to accommodate but we are not short of right side-midfield options.  James Forrest is now back from injury and although Derk Boerrigter joined as a left-sided player, he has already featured on the right for Celtic.  If Boerrigter plays on the left Samaras, Commons and Stokes can all feature on the right.

One man’s cloud is another’s silver lining, just ask Beram Kayal, who kept Victor Wanyama on the bench until he was injured in December 2011.  Victor got the run in the team he needed and never looked back.

Signing van Dijk was a response to an unexpected transfer request/not in the right frame of mind to pull a jersey on statement from Kelvin Wilson, but the major planned summer activity was to inject pace into the team for Champions League games, specifically through Boerrigter and Pukki.  For various reasons we’re not there yet, maybe Ajax at home later this month will change that.

Blown away by the 1254125 donations, which have flooded in since Friday. Each donor, from those who donated £5 to the several who gave £125 (like it!) are a credit to the spirit of those whose footsteps you walk in.  Promise to stop pestering with a link to the page.  Soon.

Thank you.

  1. Reading the comments about Eamon Darcy, I read a book written by Lawrence Donnigan

     

     

    About his time being a Csddy for Ross Drummond, anyway the other Caddys had

     

     

    Commented on one of the other Pros swings, I believe it was either Eamon or

     

     

    Christy O Conner Jnr, there view was the person they were talking about had a swing

     

     

    Like an octopus falling out a window…… A bit like my golf sadly

  3. “Swap Neil into the Dons dug-out and MM into the Cellic dug-out

     

    then who would win 9-0 ?”

     

     

    No-one I suspect.

     

     

    Mark was sacked by Wolves, Millwall, Brighton, Aberdeen and Bristol Rovers. As manager, he had teams relegated at Leicester and Brighton . He narrowly avoided it with Wolves. He was sacked by Bristol when they were in danger of leaving League two. He was Aberdeen’s second least successful manager, avoiding last place in the SPL on goal difference.

     

     

    He has all the characteristics to be a suitable KevJ pick.

    Not home for some time now,I’m afraid. Spring,I reckon.

     

     

    Those Scottish winters are too cold for me,haha!

     

     

    Plus my visits home depress me. Well,to be honest,it’s the return to Swindon which does that. C’est la vie…

     

     

    I hope you get tickets sorted for the Ajax game. Canny beat the Euro nights.

    KevJungle:

     

     

    With the sad passing of Tommy Burns, Celtic have to find a new Baggar Vance to aid the youth to make the step up; Jim McGuiness just doesn’t appear to be producin

     

     

    ******

     

    Not his role to produce the player.

     

     

    He is not there to coach.

     

     

    He is there to monitor the progress and development of the youths, regarding their attitude and how professional they are in their approach to their career.

     

     

    In short, he has described his role as telling Neil which boys he can trust and which are wasting their time.

     

     

    He is not a “hand on the shoulder, ‘There, there,'” sort of guy.

     

     

    Shape up or ship out.

     

     

    I would imagine that he would suggest to the manager any lad who he felt could benefit from a loan spell.

    The battered bunnet

     

     

    I have seen Darnell play right midfield a few times in the Under 20 team. Looks an excellent prospect anywhere on the right. Mr McGrain is doing a great job in that department.

  16. skyisalandfill c'mon wee Oscar on

    Good news that Big Nan’s online secret society petition has broken the 2000 mark. I signed it a week or so back and posted it on my FB page. Went on today to comment on the new total and guess what. It’s gone. I have reposted it on FB. Anyone else had this or similar?

     

    Bloomin goat botherers.

  17. Big Joe,

     

     

    I have heard there has been a wee disagreement with many of the Grampian Emerald Bhoys, they have split from original committee ? With many away, and talk of a new bus.

     

    I will contact a colleague of TBJ, Gerry, and get an update, I know He is one who has walked from the Grampian bus.

     

     

    Hail hail

  18. Back in again….

    ‘The simplest implementation of the mechanism adds an extra Higgs field to the gauge theory. The spontaneous symmetry breaking of the underlying local symmetry triggers conversion of components of this Higgs field to Goldstone bosons which interact with (at least some of) the other fields in the theory, so as to produce mass terms for (at least some of) the gauge bosons. This mechanism may also leave behind elementary scalar (spin-0) particles, known as Higgs bosons’

     

     

    – if that ain’t clever cloggery I’m off oot.

    I would hope that John Kennedy given time, could do a job similarly to the the late great Tommy Burns, in smoothing the progression of youth to first team players.

  21. BIG JOE

     

     

    My Boy(no1) started at Aberdeen Uni last week.

     

     

    Although he likes football he would rather sit in a warm house with a pair of slippers on and a cup of milk watching game than get blootered and go to game.

     

     

    Total weirdo

     

     

    Begining to worry he is not mine : > )
