Picked up, shook out, turned into someone new

508

Neil Lennon seemed hurt by the performance yesterday.  “Some of [the players]look like their minds are elsewhere at other clubs.

“I don’t know if they have been tapped up, I don’t know where they are mentally, but you can tell by their body language they are not with us at the minute and I’ll have to sort that out.”

“I have pulled them out of places that no-one had heard of and put them in the shop window.

“And I want payback now. That is simply not good enough.”

Those of you of a certain age might have thought that sounded a bit like:

“You were working as a waitress in a cocktail bar, when I met you.  I picked you out, I shook you up and turned you around, turned you into someone new.”

Of course, that girl from the Human League retorted:

“I was working as a waitress in a cocktail bar, that much is true.  But even then I knew I’d find a much better place, either with or without you.”

As Human League declared in verse, talent will find its level, but only if it performs.  It doesn’t matter where they came from, players who cannot excel in the SPL will drift into relative obscurity on leaving Celtic. There has been no exception to this rule.

    Fleagle – sorry mate, will be way too busy to put up that many selections. Just wanted to point out that First Avenue’s big win at Sandown on Saturday totally franks the form of Gordon Elliot’s Cause of Causes in the first race.

     

    Took 33’s last night with Bet365.

    Senior moment. Swing bowler should not be in my selection list. It should be quevega.

    Not at all,you had the decency and grace not to slag me off for waiting six months for my first winner this season.

     

     

    If it takes you six races to bag a winner at this meeting-and I hope you do it in five-you’ll be doing better than most in the shops.

     

     

    It’s a notoriously difficult meeting,innit-not helped by additional factors like the Irish connection,handicap blots,different ground as we enter spring,or a freezing Arctic blast this year.

     

     

    The main factor affecting me,of course,is….. I’ve lost my mojo!!!!!!!!

     

     

    Seriously,bud-if the next two don’t put a smile on yer napper,we try again the morra…….

    And also in the last……

     

     

    UNION DUES is owned by a fella from my hometown. I’m not his greatest fan,though I bear him no ill-will.

     

     

    He owned a very large firm which tried manfully to keep the unions out.

     

     

    So to call his horse UNION DUES is nearly as ironic as running it in Kilwinning Rangers colours when he actually owns Cumnock Juniors.

     

     

    BTW,he also owned a horse called Holy Orders!
