Scott’s career planning

298

Don’t get me wrong, I’d be delighted to see a Scotland team full of Celtic players at the next Euros, but it’s not my priority and it’s not theirs either.

Scott Brown did the right thing retiring from international football. He did his part for his country during years of injury but if he is to extend his time as a Champions League player he had to manage his career carefully.

I understand that he came out of retirement for Gordon Strachan, but EBT McLeish…..  That’s a different question.

  1. Shay Logan,

     

    Might have been the last game at Pittodrie, or the game before.

     

    Ball is knocked out for an Aberdeen throw, straight into the Celtic fans, who, naturally, hold onto the ball as Logan stood on the touchline, waiting for the ball. As the Bhoys in the crowd indulged in some ‘ noisy banter’ Logan starts gesticulating at the Bhoys. To my mind, he was hoping for someone to racially abuse him so he could play the victim again. Could be wrong, but that’s the way I saw it. Thankfully, the Bhoys in the crowd were too smart for him

     

    Horrible, classless, lying scumbag who should FO back to the anonimity of English First (3rd) division as soon as possible.

     

     

    He also made a smartarse tweet about one of our Euro games which came back to bite him after the Sheep were humiliated at Pittodrie last time out.

    Delighted your daughter & wee Luca are home, that is some list you have, think you better postpone the retirement to pay for it all :-)

    As our superiority continues, the list of talentless under achievers grows as more and more of them set out to show how “ staunch” they are with cowardly challenges. Not 50/50 , not even 60/40, cowardly over the top lunges , or pathetic attempts to hammer a player on the ground with a potshot from close range.

     

    They’re hurting bad. More and more of them are hurting bad.

    Logan ,to my mind , is a bitter jealous Celtic hater. He is a very limited footballer who is probably eaten up by the knowledge that he would never be half good enough to even get a place on Celtic’s bench.

     

    When the Tonev incident happened , I was in two minds as to what to believe. Having witnessed Logan’s behaviour towards us since then ,I am in no doubt that he could (and probably did) make it up out of spite.

    Money is only that. Money. When I’ve none, I’ve none.

     

    The kids can look after me. That’s how it works eh? Goes full circle. You care for them, finance them as best you can, set them free, and the whole thing reverses.

     

    They come back, they finance you if necessary and care for you.

     

    At least I hope that’s how it works!

    Saw your question to David Conn,via e-Tims. Nice one,mate. Keep up the pressure.

    Parkheadcumsalford – I hear you re BBC Sport Scotland and I agree their editorial position is a disgrace.

     

     

    For me it is just another offering from a once terrific, now dysfunctional organisation that doesn’t interest me – joining a list that includes Newsnight Review, Radio 1, QI, Room 101, BBC Alba etc etc.

     

     

    I suspect at some point in the future, when the time us right, Celtic will go all Alex Ferguson on them.

     

     

    Hail hail

    Don’t understand the boards silence over the BBC, they are not commercial and we pay for “that” service

  17. 10 years ago Pep Guardiola was a paid ambassador for Qatar’s World Cup bid.Human Rights Watch says hundreds of workers are dying every year, they claim that the Qatar authorities have refused to make necessary information public or adequately investigate the deaths, which could be caused by labouring in the region’s fierce climate.Migrant workers are virtually slaves when they arrive in Qatar and are forced to hand over their passports.Qatar is a middle eastern tyranny , a handful of mega rich masquerading as a nation, with utter contempt for human rights.I wonder how he feels about all this now.

    But, see when folk like me have been consistent in their views of all things Celtic, especially the Old Firm PLC board, and their continual refusal to fight Celtic’s corner, and the #Fact# that, Celtic supporters of today, either don’t get the #Fact# that, the PLC will sell you out every step of the way, or, they do get it but, don’t have the balls to take the necessary action to effect the changes that are needed, well, sadly, that leaves me to conclude that, maybe they deserve to see Celtic players being booted up and doon the pitch, or see the stolen £140 million hun tax dodge go unpunished, or see 20 odd stolen tainted trophies unstripped, because, and only because, these supporters have the power, and their consistent response is to turn the other cheek. Who’s fault is that ? Is it they’re fault ? Or, is it the fault of the consistent bore, who consistently bores the blog, by consistently pointing out theses consistent flaws ?

     

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

     

    You will have signed the petition then?

    Good man.

    Is it coming up to season ticket renewal time?

     

    Or, am I just paranoid ?

     

    What would get the SFA information the quickest…..

     

    A kick the can down the road petition ?

     

    Or,

     

    An empty park ?

     

    The executive officers who flung NFL under a bus, are now looking for information ?

     

    The last time that the PLC were forced to act, was after one of the games during the RD era, a half empty stadium, the Green Brigade put a banner on display.

     

    It read,……

     

    “Desmond and Lawwell’s legacy…

     

    Empty Jerseys

     

    Empty Trophy Room’s

     

    Empty Stands!”

     

    ….just before season ticket renewal time.

     

    Within a couple of days, the PLC scraped Brendan off the scrapheap, filled the stadium, but, most important of all, the PLC used the Brendan bounce, or, to be more specific, the PLC used Brendan as a “fudge” to swerve their way round the same club lie, to slip in the back door, the deal that would see Celtic fans paying £49 for tickets to see Celtic vs Sevco, the same price as, Celtic vs Rangers, so the fly move was in the bag, Celtic fans had just been used to rubber stamp the same club lie, who saw that coming ? Or, more to the point, who saw the Scooby-Doo! pyjama clad Celtic supporters coming ? Ah mean, ye couldn’t write this stuff.

     

    Celtic almost had a player killed on the pitch on Sunday, when will the information hunters respond to that ? The year 2929 ?

     

    See, its like this, the Celtic that I was brought up with don’t exist anymore.

     

    And your a player.

     

    And no, I wouldn’t like to meet up either.

     

    Good luck.

     

    ……oot.

  20. Would I be talking out of turn if I was to say that this would be an excellent opportunity for Celtic to refuse to supply players for National team duty.Scotland now have a manager who is a proven EBT cheat .Could our players reserve the right not to play under him.Not sure if there is a law to force them to play.Anyway petition signed,Have nice day.HAIL HAIL.

  21. Morning, KEVJ , reading back see a couple of attacks on your good self because big PACKY dared stickup for you , how dare he , well buddy that’s at least two posters who like you , too many teachers pets on here jumping on the band wagon , right starry in you come !!!
