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 donโ€™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.

    Your pish is as good as any pish i’ve read on here, but really i think

     

    my pish is the best, unless GFTB comes on then it’s a new ball game

     

    but as regards some people wanting an answer to their pish i’d

     

    suggest ” just piss off ”

     

    As you can all see i’ve been on the piss all day.

     

    Luca Connell for man of the match tonight.

    Serena doesn’t look like she can move across court

    Helander joins a new club “to win trophies” – according to headline on Shortbread..

     

     

    His tour fo the trophy room convinced him that holding aloft the Petrofac Cup as a winner would be the pinnacle of his career.

    See young Anthony starts today, hopefully full fitness from now on.

     

    Got his break under Ronny, little game time under Brendan for various reasons, but did appear towards the end of last season under Neilly. Neil is giving him a chance lets hope it works out well for him and for us.

  11. Happy Birthday, Old Tim. A great age to reach and hopefully you’ll have many more.

  13. The Huddle……….bomb in the big serves and and avoid having to do any running around the court is the Americans tactic.

    She’s starting to move now, was a strange opening

  15. Hope the Legend Davie has a fantastic day.

     

    Just wondering if anyone knows what’s the story with Oko-Flex, He was a notable exclusion from Champion’s League panels and doesn’t figure in the 22 names listed for today. Is he injured?, hopefully there is no trouble in Paradise for the kid.

     

    I see Hendry left out of extended list as well today, must say I feel sorry for the bhoy, always tried his best when he did get a run but looks as if his nest is just not good enough.

  16. Back to Basics - Glass Half Full on

    Contamination of Celtic cyberspace continues with R@ngers News becoming an accredited NewsNow Celtic source.

     

     

    Fuelled by NFL’s responses.

     

     

    NFL should rise above it all and consider the adage ..

     

     

    “Never argue with a fool. He’ll bring you down to his level and beat you on experience”

     

     

    Anytime a question is asked which mentions another club – “O*d F*rm”, “Arms Race”, “Transfer tug of war” – Neil should simply pause, say “I’m here to talk about Celtic only. Next question”.

     

     

    Hail hail

    Agree with you re young Jack as i did with many up and coming

     

    newbies to the Celtic 11, Charlie Gallagher, Mike Jackson, Vic Davidson

     

    et al, all wonderful players but incurred the wrath of the Celtic Support.

     

    A home truth we don.t like to recognise.

    Losing Liam Morrison to a football giant opens up a completely new development in our planning.

     

     

    This is precisely the reason Brentford closed their excellent academy. They stated they had to do things differently with the youth set up.

     

     

    Make no mistake, losing this legal challenge puts a giant spoke in our wheel and may interfere with the viability of Lennoxtown in the medium to long term.

     

     

    Will Brexit change the legal status from EU countries? Or will they just be replaced by rich English predators?

     

    __________

     

    Shit. Maybe we’ll be OK after that buffoon Boris gets in ๐Ÿ˜Š

     

     

    We live in different times I know, but surely any young Celt wants to play for the team first and foremost before thinking of a long term career. This isn’t a young African boy, who’s came here with no local heritage. Maybe I’m wrong and there is no Celtic supporting family here. I just find it frustrating if we have a young ‘supporter’ that’s not bothered about playing for us.

     

     

     

     

    Football used to be soooooo easy.

  19. Wasn’t born until October 49, first game February 59. Nine years ond about 4 months.
