Seeking game time in Qatar

551

Marco Tilio made a late substitute appearance in Australia’s final Asian Cup warm-up game against Bharain on Saturday.  The player is clearly valued higher in his home country than around Lennoxtown.  With little prospect of a promotion to the Celtic starting line-up ahead, any chance the player has to shine would be useful for him and the club.

Oh Hyeon-gyu played the first half of Korea’s game against Iraq on the same day.  There is little chance of Oh moving on this month but, like Marco, he is a player who would benefit from gametime in Qatar.

Japan’s opener against Vietnam on Sunday will attract most attention from Celtic fans.  Reo Hatate should be close to full fitness, although I doubt he will start the game.  Daizen Maeda led the line for Japan at the World Cup, when they expected to play a counter-attacking game.  Tactics will be different against Vietnam than they were against Spain, so Daizen may not play the same role.

Again, you and I will lie in our beds at night pondering why one of the greatest Celtic players of this century is on a beach somewhere right now.

The Sun report Celtic have received a work permit for Nicolas Kuhn.  This detail is usually completed after paperwork is signed.  Hopefully we’re a ‘Ross Hall moment’ away from getting this one over the line.

    Should we be giving air time to countries such as Qatar.?

     

     

    Woman’s rights are virtually nil and generally woman and girls are used as breeding machines.

     

     

    We recently had a good prominent poster “cancelled”for perceived disrespect of woman and yet wr ignore misogyny on a grand scale.

  2. The Battered Bunnet,

     

    long time since we talked my friend.

     

    I dont post much now but read and follow every day and to be truthful the poster I always read wears a tattered cap.

     

    i hope you are well and maybe some day we will meet again

  3. What is the Starz on

    We won’t sign anyone this month.

     

    FACT.

     

    We will sell O’Riley Hatate Abada and Kyogo this month.

     

    FACT.

  4. Lets hope the players who are out there do well – it could be really good for their confidence if they have a good competition.

     

     

    Japan and South Korea are clear first and second favorites and Australia are joint third so you’d expect them to be out there for most of the tournament.

  5. With Kyogo not getting picked and a fit replacement for Yang and Tilio just about in the door is it safe to say we’ve avoided the Asia cup nightmare we were told to be worried about?

  6. Which is hardly a nightmare with a game against buckie thistle and two Spl games to deal with.

    ………and bring in Stewart Robertson & Ross Wilson to replace the fifth-columnists P Lawwell & M Lawwell – will be a step forward in some of our so-call supporters eyes

  8. THE BATTERED BUNNET re: as fine a Friday as we’ve seen all week

     

     

    Certainly is the best I have seen!

  9. BOURNESOUPRECIPE re: Nicolas Kuhn is 1.74 Metres

     

     

    Aye, OK. But can he hold a tune at karaoke?

     

     

    We demand answers.

  10. Speaking of the wireless.

     

     

    I remember building a radio one Christmas that Santa got me. Spent a load of time soldering with excitement. All I got out of it was static.

     

     

    Looking back it was a lesson about marriage.

  11. Middle east situation

     

     

    Just love the hypocracy of the uSA.

     

    They are sending oodles of weaponry to Israel, yet calling for them to stop the atrocoties.

     

     

    God bless America, yes indeed

  12. The Battered Bunnet,

     

    i am well, thank you for asking.

     

    Am82 in 3 weeks and still sit in the highest seats in the stadium…

     

    we park along the London Road at the cemetry and walk to the stadium and the climb 176 steps to out seats and then am out of breath fot 10 minutes.

     

    Apart from that no complaints, I am well taken care of and kindof watch my diet and weight

     

    so I suppose I can say it is hanging well.

     

    hope you are well too.
