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.

    It’s remarkable that the ‘Irish question’ still haunts Westminster. And more amazing that after centuries of steamrollering Ireland, the Irish now have friends and the English establishment are fugged.

    Denmark is building a fence to stop pigs from germany, who may carry African swine fever, from crossing the border.

     

     

    according to this article, Danish officials have admitted that it may not work perfectly, as the pigs may cross by road, or across streams…..

    Betcha those Danes wish they had Trump in charge… he’s smarter than any old pig…. his fence would outsmart those pesky swine.

    I know you’re a shock-jock troll on this site, presumably because you have nothing better to do, but that comment is sickening in its dull, depressing ignorance.

     

     

    Shame on you.

    I once witnessed the same scenario in Kilmarnock . In the loft of the house ,no less.

     

    I needed access to the loft, the wee wifey was in a panic.

     

    When her partner appeared I told him I wasn’t interested in what was up there.

     

    I trusted there wouldn’t be a corpse , I just needed access to fix their broadband fault so he let me proceed.

     

     

    I heard him telling the wife to stop watching the Bill on TV !

     

    The smell of the plants could get you stoned .

    I provide facts.

     

    You describe this as ignorance.

     

     

    Incidentally , why would you decide not to include the ISIS massacre of Filippina Catholics at Mass at the weekend ?

     

    Doesn`t fit your agenda , eh ?

  17. Turkeybhoy. Hope all is well with you. I enjoyed your contributions and would be sorry to see you go.

     

    If it’s just a case that you are fed up with the site, why not just take a break & come back when & if you feel like it.

    Such a ghastly publication that.

     

     

    Whatever next?

     

     

    The Atlantic?

    Vox?

     

     

    The most ironic thing of all is that the Left today represents the dogma of the globalist elite.

    Why are so many Latinos deserting the Socialist nirvanas of Castro`s Cuba , Ortega`s Nicaragua , Maduro`s Venezuela and now AMLO`s Mexico and heading to the land of the great satan , Donald Trump ?

     

     

    Because they actually have to live in the socialist cesspits and don`t have the comparative luxury of the CQN socialist theorists who vote with their feet to stay where they are.

     

    In the decent capitalist democratic world .

     

    Where human rights actually mean what they say .

    What does any of that have to do with me ?

     

     

    The world is beating a path to Australia because it knows the reality of this wonderful multicultural country , not the sad ignorant bleatings of the left wing media outlets .

  25. Nazis eliminated 6 million Jews, as many Poles, Ukrainians,Catholics, Romanies and anyone who strayed from their philosophies.

     

    The Grand Mufti of Jerusalem expressed his admiration for Hitler’s final solution and reportedly offered to implement a similar policy in the Middle East.

     

    Merkel is offering to pay refugees mostly from North Africa and Syria to repatriate.

     

    Are you seriously Macjay, or anyone on this board espouses Nazi policies?

     

    Unless of course they support the Democratic governor of New York who celebrated his signature on a grotesque bill allowing infanticide by decriminalizing abortion up to the last day of pregnancy, and to legally allow the murder of any baby surviving the abortion procedure.

     

    I know which one is closer to Hitler.
