Organisational indiscipline remains a concern

949

Yesterday’s win at Fir Park was huge for Celtic’s season but we should caution against talk of a corner being turned.  The team possessed the resilience (and Irish magician) to come from behind and beat the team who were second in the league, but we have been here before.

The Motherwell goal will cause Neil Lennon particular concern.  After losing a goal to an early corner kick against Rennes on Thursday, it seems impossible to believe that the team switched off at another corner kick, but only Beram Kayal was alert to the threat of Motherwell taking a short corner, and he was already covering a threat.

Organisational discipline is as important as having better players to the outcome of many football games.

  1. Morning all from gay Paree, overcast and drizzly here today.

  3. Morning all.

     

     

    I see BBC Scotland’s sport’s department are at it again. The Dutchman who has been given the task of trying to haul our football into the 21st century made some very pointed remarks yesterday about our stopping our skillful players to develop, by concentration on stuff like competitiveness. In other words, we have a cluggers charter. The BBC simply reported him a saying we have a long way to go. No criticism of the likes of the bankrupt lot, their Ediinburgh and Lanarkshire cousins.

    RIP Smokin Joe, a great fighter from an era of real boxing heavyweights. Brings back some happy memories of sitting watching fights on the TV with my old man.

     

    We could do with some of Joe’s dogged determination in this side of ours.

     

     

    How’s young Ki doing?

    Is it me you’re lookin for?

  6. Fact of the Day:

     

     

    Lionel Messi’s parents were big Lionel Richie fans, no joke, and that is why he is called Lionel.

     

     

    Messi’s name should be pronounced Lionel in the same way as Mr Richie and not Lee-o-nell as many do.

     

     

    Lionel Richie’s African American heritage is more apparent in the Christian names of his brothers Mfeeta and Mbosa.

    Thanks for that.

     

     

    A man with integrity perhaps. That would be something new within the corridors of power in Scottish Football

    VP- The “Hello” video (which is dire by the way) At one point he leans against a door frame and his fingers travel down the corridor and around the corner, almost setting off a fire extinguisher. Massive.

  9. Another (well known) fact for the day:

     

     

    Ye canny be oot in yer first shot at ‘Wally’.

    Sure ,you’re not thinking of Nosferatu? :o)

  11. The enormous “Hands of Victory” monument in Baghdad which was made to celebrate Iraq’s “victory” over Iran was modelled on Mr Richie’s mitts, so impressive did Saddam find them.

  12. Wee Dawwell coming up soon on talksport,batting for his beloved huns.I wonder how many times Celtic will get thrown in to the mix?

    Did you used to work on Jackanory?or are you posting from Amsterdam?

  14. Mornin’ bhoys.

     

     

    Very sad to hear of the death of Joe Frazier; a Champion of the World from a time when that meant something.

     

     

    Muhammad Ali is a great man, and a great champion, but I think his treatment of Joe before their fights [ which I know he has since apologised for] was unworthy of him.

  15. Anyways, week 2 of Movember has started, and there is definite evidence of Mo growth.

     

     

    I appreciate that money is tight just now, but any contributions excellent CQNers can make would be very appreciated.

     

     

    Prostate and testicular cancer are worthy causes.

     

     

    [If it helps you look for a couple of quid behind the couch, I’ll point out that since the Mo began to grow the Celts have P2 W2 D0 L0]

     

     

    Maks sense tae me…

    “A man with integrity perhaps. That would be something new within the corridors of power in Scottish Football.”

     

     

    Interesting background, certainly. None of which guarantees integrity but, as you say, perhaps.

     

     

    One moment of doubt has arisen already, however.

     

    Naizschimdt’s assault on Milson was ignored.

  17. The Battered Bunnet on

    French President Nicolas Sarkozy called Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu a “liar” in remarks to US President Barack Obama overheard by journalists.

     

     

    “I can’t see him anymore, he’s a liar,” Mr Sarkozy said in French.

     

     

    “You may be sick of him, but me, I have to deal with him every day,” Mr Obama replied.

     

     

    “Quel dommage Barrack,” said Mme. Sarkozy, holding baby Giulia. “The sooner we get the Commodores reunited the better for all of us,” she added.

     

     

    The exchange at the G20 summit was quoted by a French website, Arret sur Images, and confirmed by other media.

    There must be something in the water. All we need now is an appearance from bontyboy <:-))

  19. Ciao ——

     

     

    Sion /Uefa ——

     

     

    The real game is about to begin ..

     

     

    Sion have filed a complaint about Uefa with the relevant judicial arm of The European Commission. They have cited all the relevant articles of all of the relevant bilateral treaties between the European Union and Switzerland [ such bilateral treaties are something the suits at Uefa seem not to have taken into consideration —such arrogant stupidity !]

     

     

    Sion are being legally represented by Jean Louis Dupont —— previous clients of his include someone called Jean Marc Bosman.

     

     

    Dupont seems to be particularly interested in —–

     

     

    The right of access to an independent and impartial judgement.

     

    Unjustified restriction of trade and competition.

     

    Deliberate violation of formal legal commitments.

     

     

    Sion have reiterated that they have no intention of going anywhere The Court for Arbitration in Sport [ citing the right of access to an independent and impartial judgement ] Sion have reiterated their belief that The C A S is a Uefa lapdog [ they may be right ]

     

     

    We live in interesting times .

     

     

    Very warm ,very grey , very humid , torrential rain soon come -way down south.

    Agreed but a 2/3 or even 4 game ban wouldn’t have made any difference as he’s out till august 2012.

     

     

    If they had banned him the miserable ones would have kicked up a great big stushie, givin it the poor me/us routine.

     

     

    This way when the next off the ball instance arises, as it inevitably will, the discipline/video review panel can steam right in.
