Sentiment and Sinclair, scrapping for second, Neil and Hibs

343

I don’t cling to sentiment when it comes to footballers on high wages, so when Scott Sinclair was unable to get into the first team I would happily have released him.  We seldom see a player rediscover his form and goal touch as demonstrably as he has in recent months.

You may have noticed the way Scott coached Timo Weah during Saturday’s game against Hamilton.  He is thriving on the responsibility and the confidence it instils.  Playing the wings is a hard shift.  You hear more ‘feedback’ from the crowd there than from other areas of the field.  I know some of our very best wingers in recent times have carried this extra burden.

Delighted that the three clubs scrapping for second place below us managed to take points off each other in a week Celtic won twice.  Well done to Aberdeen, Newco and Kilmarnock for sticking with it.  If there was a clear challenger their task would be easier.

It is a source of some regret that Project Hibs is on the skids right now and Neil Lennon is set to lose his job.  Hibs and Neil seemed a perfect match.  His results at the club against Celtic, Newco and Hearts were unprecedented in the modern era.  Football progress is seldom linear and this year was destined to be one of realignment, something Neil and the club should have acknowledged.

They could do worse than appointing boyhood Hibs fan, Gordon Strachan, as manager, but whoever gets the job will be a step down from Neil.  They are likely to remain a Premiership team for the foreseeable future – they will not appoint the likes of Terry Butcher again – but mid-table mediocrity beckons.

    A poster said Brendan was here for 10 in a row- fact.

     

     

    As that is in the future and in no way guaranteed, then i suggest its far from a fact, more a prediction.

    Gene,

     

    That war has been going on since 2015, the UK are active participants supporting the Saudi’s, no coverage in UK until late last year, write to your MP and tell the UK to stop supporting the Saudi’s with hardware and soldiers.

    Oh and the U.K. We’re lobbying the French to help start the war in Syria in 2014

     

    Now it’s all starting again in Venezuala their stupidity and malevolance have no limits.

  10. The 1922 in a nutshell: @theresa_may tells Tory MPs she will whip them to vote for the Brady amendment in spite of being unable to tell them what would replace the backstop, and the ERG Brexiters who she was trying to buy say they will defy her. “Totally nuts” a Tory told me

  11. If Shved is a good player, why not pursue his signing because of a fear of having too many in one poition.

     

     

    I seem to recall a time when MON had Hartson, Sutton and Larsson and was offered an obscure striker from the Ivory Coast, who played for Le Mans (losing his place to Daniel Cousin) and Guingamp, who eventually moved to Marseilles for just over £3m.

     

     

    That was a mistake.

    Oh and personally I support a hard brexit and let them whistle fot the money, Corbyn will need it to start renationalising our essential infrastructure at compulsory purchase prices no greater than the original selling price per share.

  14. A total tory brexit carcrash over a cliff, will lead to the end of the Tory party, the end of the united(lol) kingdom, the reunification of the island of Ireland after 800 years of English/British oppression, and a likely, levelling out of the wealth on the island of, England, Scoatlind and Wales, under the equality driven, Jeremy Corbyn government. Imho.

     

    Ah mean, when you fall over the brexit cliff, who’s outstretched hand of help would you rather see reaching out to save you, Jeremy Corbyn’s, or Theresa May’s ?

     

     

    Oot.

  15. Hot Smoked.

     

    If you are lurking.

     

    I hear Gutman has gone AWOL. Celtic appear to be no longer interested.

     

    One look at Arbroath and off he went. :-)

     

    On a more serious note, I reckon you will now be one of very small group of Celtic fans who saw him play.
