Practice penalties, de Vries

472

And then the lights came back on.

You and I have discussed this before, but one week from tomorrow Celtic could be in involved in a +£20m penalty kick competition. Between now and then I’d have the players take 100 each. Preparation is everything and there’s no amount of preparation for penalties next week which will be too much.

You have to suspect that it’s too soon for Brendan Rodgers to throw new keeper, Dorus de Vries, into such a critical game, without a proper opportunity to work with his defenders, or be assessed by Stevie Woods.

After the Aberdeen game later this month we have a two week international break, where de Vries will be able to work with the coaching staff for an extended period, but that precedes the group stages of European competition, so I’m not sure when the new keeper will get a first team break.

    The politics of envy – cheap jibe was the only thing salient to my point and I think, as in most of its uses in debate, it is a form of passive aggressive table turning.

     

     

    ============================================================

     

     

    I know your politics. You know mine.

     

    I described your politics . Not you.

     

    I try very hard not to be personal.

     

    You don`t.

     

    You prefer to play the man , not the ball.

     

    Viz. Cheap jibe. Passive aggressive.

     

     

    Nevertheless , by and large U.K. can afford the money spent on sport.

     

    Where is the outpouring of anger over the billions spent on the London Olympics ?

     

     

    Many countries can`t afford the cost of staging these games.

     

    Greece , patently , was one . Brazil is another.

     

    Perhaps you should stick it to Brazil , rather than U.K.

     

     

    The class war is over in U.K.

     

    Why won`t you let it lie down ?

    My concerns stem from the second leg being away.

     

     

    If Hapoel don`t score at Celtic Park , i`ll be supremely confident of progressing.

     

     

    Meanwhile.

     

    Get yer heid doon and pass yer exam.

     

    When I was doing them , we had big Jock.

     

    No nerves.Just excitement.

    I have no idea what the issues are.

     

     

    If you go to the Celtic Corner you created on Wednesday. I will Definitely go there with my Son and his Mum who had contemplated Suicide but her Catholic Faith said it was not right. I was in the Doctors room Listening to this stuff.

     

     

    Dr Singh, Greenhills in EK prescribed her a Further set of Psychotropic Drugs, I was Livid listening to this Doctor.

     

     

    Israel is an Oasis in a desert. That is the Lord Almighty doing what he does.

     

     

    So many think they know everything, Right here, Right now.

     

     

    A 1-0 would be Brilliant, 2-0 Exceptional, 3-0 MonuMENTAL.

    Mate.

     

    Hope you don`t mind me saying .

     

    There is the possibility of a legal issue associated with putting that in writing for public consumption.

     

     

    On Wednesday , any zero goals against would suit me.

  10. macjay1,

     

     

    I’d like to be sued.

     

     

    I have Nothing.

     

     

    I just want to protect the Middle Class.

     

     

    They Worked so Hard to get what they have.

  11. macjay1,

     

     

    Dr Singh was talking solely to Karen. I was flabbergasted to what I was hearing.

     

     

    I can’t even remember why I was in that Room – Thank the Lord Almighty I was.

     

     

    I told her to not get the prescription.

     

     

    Now she is doing long hours at Festivals and things like that.

    I would feel able to say a lot face to face , pal , but not on here.

     

     

    I.S. remind me of the S.S. and , when I was a lad , wondering how ” they ” could have permitted that to happen.

     

    Topsy turvy world , mate.

     

    At least we have the Tims .

    I hope to buy you lots of Vodkas sometime.

     

     

    Israel is a Biggie. Even between me and you.

     

     

    My mind changes Constantly.

     

     

    Celtic MUST welcome the Israeli team to the Holy Ground. I won’t ever Boo an Israeli. I remember DD telling me the background to the Joy Division……. I liked a few tracks. Never again will that be played.

    Voddies ? Oh,aye.

     

     

    Israel. Not a black and white issue.

     

    My issue is not with Israeli individuals .

     

    I would be welcoming their team too.

     

    I could never forget Munich ` 72.

  19. macjay1,

     

     

    You have been wrong on a few occasions, IMO, but you are powerful in your Belief of The Celtic Song.

     

     

    I’ve always been a right Winger, I just wish I had the dedication my wee bro has….. he does Marathons… Dad….. is lucky to still have his hair…… with my skill as a fitba player… That ones got…..

    The Swiss Banker (my bro) well he wasn’t ever a fitba player……. He did get a tattoo that troubled me though.

    James isnae the slightest Human bean…. Somehow he does Marathons under 3 Hours despite being over 40.
