Re-emergence of Yang

105

Amid the hype surrounding Nicolas Kuhn it would be easy to overlook the re-emergence of Yang as an alternate choice on the right wing.  The South Korean took time to settle into life in Scotland after his arrival in July last year, but as Celtic hit a run of poor form in February, he was given a chance by Brendan Rodgers.

That opportunity closed as a harsh red card at Tynecastle in March posed a major threat to our league challenge and led to a mandatory ban for Yang.  Since then, he has started only one game, but six substitute appearances this season have seen his stock rise.

Player development is no less important to Celtic  than player recruitment.  Some clubs get a reputation for destroying young players by allowing them to wither on the vine.  Compare and contrast with the rate Motherwell seem able to develop central midfielders.

We are back at Tynecastle next time out, which I expect will be more difficult than Hearts 11th place in the table suggests, so our strongest team must start the game.  But with the visit of Brugge four days later, it would be good to see Yang involved, to rest Kuhn and to allow him payback for that harsh red in March.

    didnt say i believed the guy – he was working in a perfume shop – just recalling a wee chat

  2. ERATIC

     

     

    aye, pain in the arse as i will be oot gigging with the beautiful one during the game

  3. Yang is a young player and will improve over time as he is working with good coaches who will develop his skills.

     

     

    He has good examples to follow Forrest, Kuhn, Maeda who have all got abilities. If he stays then I expect to see more of him

  4. SFTB,

     

     

    Unfortunately i am not as trusting of the establishments and their media outlets as you are.

     

     

    Cheers and HH.

  5. All of our directors are Celtic Fans. Peter Lawwell has Season tickets from before he worked for the club and probably still has them. I know Brian Wilson has always been a fan and has even written a book on the club

     

     

    I suspect all of the current board are fans first. Desmond has stated he is only involved because his emotional attachment

  6. We all need a wee bit of joy in our Hearts.

     

     

    Check out Murphy Agnew scoring our first CL goal.

     

    Check out the manager and teammates.

     

     

    Beautiful.

    “Unfortunately i am not as trusting of the establishments and their media outlets as you are.”

     

    ————————-

     

     

    Aye, but randoms with no evidence are given credence.

     

     

    Anyway- I don’t trust the establishment either but I do trust peer-researched Science to uncover any frauds and false data.

     

     

    A group of anti-establishment folk in the oil USA have just elected a New York Property Billionaire (on par anyway; his self-audited paper) and a Yale Lawyer/ Faux Hillbilly who sneered at Appalachian folk as Welfare Queens.

     

     

    Some establishment? Some rebellion? eh?

  10. SFTB,

     

     

    Who pays for the peer researched science?

     

    Following the science . Where have we heard that discredited soundbite before.

     

     

    I guess we can look forward to an avalanche of rich entitled US celebrities fleeing the ole USA in their private taxis, sorry jets.

     

    Their choice, but the days of extremely rich, entitled celebrities telling the peiple what to think. What to do and what to vote is definitely over.

     

     

    Cry in your Gucci indeed.

     

     

    Anyway, roll on tje masters tonight. COYBIG.

  11. “…the days of extremely rich, entitled celebrities telling the peiple what to think. What to do and what to vote is definitely over”

     

     

     

    Phew! Thank goodness for that !

  12. Remember the 5G threat- whatever happened to that? I dare say some pre-Facebook Senga also confidently predicted doom when the wheel was invented.

    “Who pays for the peer researched science?”

     

    ———————-

     

     

    Lots of people and organisations fund scientific research. They try very hard to be independent and the rivalry amongst researchers means that any positive breakthroughs get road tested by others trying to make a name for themselves by proving them wrong.

     

     

    Cyril Burt’s faking data on IQ and genetic inheritance was exposed by fellow Psychologists. Everyone had to be careful from there on in

     

     

    Andrew Wakefield’s research linking the MMR jab with Autism was sensational and is still believed by many “anti-establishment” do-your-own research types but has been disproved by everyone who tried to replicate it. He agreed to resign his Senior Lecturer position at a major Hospital “by mutual consent”. Despite being exposed as a fraud he went to the USA, having done his damage with an outbreak of measles in several countries where vaccinations dropped off, where he was welcomed by the do-your-own-research brigade and he’s gone full-conspiracy-theorist and is selling quack cures like a true right wing grifter. Still, he got to shack up with Elle McPherson so it wasn’t all downhill.

     

     

    Now, I can see the face validity of saying Big Pharma pays for medical research so they will get the results they want…… we’ve seen events like Thalidomide and, in some aspects, with the Opiod crisis and Purdue. We’ve seen it with in-house research for Diesel engines and particulates (again discovered and debunked by non-in-house engineers & scientists).

     

     

    It has face validity until you discover that the people complaining and attributing it to Big Pharma “buying” the scientific research are looking to make the state smaller, reduce the “Red-Tape” burden of having to replicate and peer-research so that more unsafe products can be launched and marketed without those pesky scientists having to approve them. Some of their supporters were advocating the drinking of bleach as a Covid response.

     

     

    If you suspect (and that’s enough to be proof for some) that Big Pharma only gets the results that Big Pharma wants, then why have Shell, Esso and BP not got the results they want on the efficacy, economy and safety of fossil fuels. They don’t want Green Energy to be prominent. They have the money to swamp any monies given to Green Energy research so they should have been able to defraud the public too.

     

     

    If Big Pharma was able to buy the results they wanted and, more importantly, buy off research which was contrary to their interests, why has this conspiracy not been effective in buying off energy scientists. And why did it not work with cancer researchers when Big Tobacco had so much money to spend?

     

     

    You have to have some system for weighing evidence if you are not involved in the field yourself and, with all due respect to yourself , I suspect neither you or I have much expertise to weigh up the physics and chemistry of cloud-seeding, climate change or drug composition.

     

     

    I have found more evidence in scientific journals and in that community than I have found in Facebook Gossip, Truth Social, Fox News/GBNews, or from the mouths of Right wing grifters like Musk, Alex Jones or the sex-trafficking women-beating “alpha-male”Tate brothers. I’m not impressed by arguments that say my opinion is just as valid as yours, or it looks like that to me, or it’s too much of a coincidence and there’s no smoke without fire.

     

     

    Ancient people used to believe that the earth was the centre of the Universe and everything revolved around it. When brave informed researchers proved this wasn’t true, they were hounded and silenced by the establishment powers including the church and religion that many of us follow
