Right back challenge

913

We can convince ourselves we have players who can fill the right back role, and this may be true for a few more weeks, but Mikael Lustig was one of the frailties that cost us against AEK last August, and we don’t even have him now.

So far the transfer window has gone well, but a team is as well as its weakest link. Failure to get a right back who can stop crosses into the box has to be avoided.

That night in Athens is all the motivation we should need.

  1. If Stoke had still been in the EPL I could see the attraction – but a struggling championship side – show some ambition

    Twitter rumour about Stuart Armstrong returning – player did not travel on club pre season tour.

     

     

    Pretty sure there is another explanation other than jumping to the conclusion he is returning to Celtic though.

    Yeah he’s on EPL wages. It’d only be possible on loan.

    Yeah, and I don’t think coming back up the road is in his mind either, even on loan.

    Dylan Bob?

     

    Multicult?

  7. Talking of Bob Dylan – heard his original version of ‘ hard rains a- gonna fall ‘ thanks goodness Bryan Ferry recorded his superb version.

     

    Dylan a better writer than singer imo

  8. He needs his head examining if he’s joining Stoke

     

    Either Celtic haven’t offered the £4m or it’s a wage issue

    Yes indeed, a wonderful wordsmith but a weak voice.

     

     

    Thank goodness for recording studios, and modern technology.

    TRSNMT revellers have been slammed by Scotland’s leading anti-sectarian charity for chanting the “utterly dismal” Billy Boys at the music fest.

  11. Reading back.Dear God.Still some funny bits.Mc Burnie,legs so long,his socks dont reach his knees.

     

    No chance of playing for the scum then.Burke??????,just what is he?

     

    Still some fretting over a RB.Does anyone really think,Lenny is not on that?Really.Beggars my belief.If anyone had told us last year,we were signing a RB from Dortmund,for £7 million,we would have been going crazy.We would have got Toljan.Takes time.Relax.I think a lot depends on KT.We have money,but,class costs a lot.I dont want an O’Donnell from Killie,does anyone who is fretting?.Calm your jets.Plenty of time.

  12. ” Most cities have one or more sticky carpet pub/clubs. Some are just run down dives but others take this stickiness to whole new levels.

     

     

    Take the good community of Grantham:

     

     

    The Sticky Carpet is the name of a club of which most of Grantham’s hideous slappers happen to congregate for the weekends hostilities. The name has been borne by more than one club, initially thought to have derived from the pub the “Tudor Rose” which was renamed as “Bananas”. The present title of the Sticky Carpet is held by “Chicago Rock”. Disturbingly most of the Specialist RLC TA can be found here at the weekend as opposed the barracks. It now appears Chicago Rock has now been disbanded under FAS, can anyone identify Grantham’s newest Sticky Carpet?

     

     

    Yes!! The current culprit has to be The Royal Oak. Located in the main square right near the cab rank and Kebab/pizza place. The current location of all ten-to-two bunk ups.

     

     

    It should be noted that renowned experts claim that Cheeks in Aldertraz had developed the stickiest carpets in NATO prior to the discovery of Grantham.

     

     

    The ‘Original’ Sticky Carpet in Grantham was called the ‘Pheonix Club’ , probably because it had been set on fire prior to this re-naming. It was just round the corner from the White Lion pub, if my memory serves me correct. I was part of the team of PSI’s who moved from the RCT TA TRG Centre in Bedford, took over the camp and was there when it was re-named PWOG. Before that it was R.A.F. ‘Spittlegate’. ”

    Apart from , maybe , singers such as Caruso or Maria Callas, it is a matter of taste. I prefer Dylan`s Hard Rain to Bryan Ferry`s version.

    Bobby Zee for sure.

     

    Prefer multiculturism to monoculture though the former is for the proles not for the high heid yins.

     

    No blacks in view when Whitey walked on the moon

     

    And not many of the Windrush generation waving from the Buckingham Palace Balcony

     

    Not dismissing your views on the former out of hand, but it is of the broadsweep variety.

     

    Doesn’t leave much room for debate it seems to me.

     

    Thanks for responding though.

    I know the rumours about Stuart Armstrong are now doing their rounds. Something I got as far back as 17th June was that he wanted back. He could be a replacement for Ntcham!

     

    Keep the Faith!

     

    Hail Hail!

    EVER wonder why CHIEF SITTING BULL never asks all of them to go home.Would the world be a better place if they did.?Would SCOTLAND welcome THE DONALD back.????

     

     

    ps.just forgot this is a football site.

    Before I frespond to the BBC article, I need to be sure the journalist is Treanor and not Traynor .

     

    Treanor?

    I didn’t state an opinion though, I merely started a face.

     

     

    At the risk of repeating myself, the social experiment that is multiculturalism has been an unmitigated disaster.

     

     

    What is the problem with my statement?

     

     

    People need to stop behaving like totalitarian fascists each time they read something that they don’t like – and it’s not even about agreeing, or disagreeing, because I didn’t express an opinion.

    Wow….interesting…..not sure what to think of that…1 purple patch but european matches seem to overawe him and he openly admitted being bored with Scottish football…

    I find most of Bob Dylan’s recordings a bit of a dirge

     

    Thank goodness we don’t all have the same taste in music

     

    Of course I have excellent taste 😉

  21. I can’t see SA coming anywhere near us – surely he has to prove himself in the EPL -;or even the championship

  22. Gene

     

    I can understand that you would find many Dylan songs dirge-like.

     

    I am a pretty poor singer myself and the first time my Mother heard me playing Dylan`s Freewheelin album, she said: Oh, there`s hope for you yet, son.

    The Celtic squad is fairly multi cultural. So is this now a bad thing. Should all the Irish and Scottish overseas now go home or is this really only about brown people coming here.

     

    Oh and nothing is a fact on the internet unless you write FACT in capitals
