At 6’ 4” and built like the Free Derry Wall in the town he knows so well, Shane Duffy brings experience and assurance to the middle of the Celtic defence. What would have happened had he been at the club eight days earlier is imponderable.
I don’t know Shane well enough to comment on that question but I am assured by Irish friends he has been an impenetrable leader in their national team for years. He is at Celtic because his time as first choice at Brighton is over, but he is still only 28, which is the middle of the peak years for many central defenders. We have recruited a player who will be influential in the chase for 10.
The most pleasing aspect of his signature is the tactical shift another central defender gives us towards three at the back. Surely Shane, Kristoffer and Christopher will all play when fit? That being the case, I would like to see us add one more central def.: space for ‘a project’.

DD & JHB
Thank you both for your replies. I think DD`s suggestion that the `conversation` be conducted via email was a good one.

Thanks sir. Hope all is good in Arbroath.
Was planning a weekend visit to our mutual friend in Carmyllie. The Scottish Government have forbidden me to visit though. 😔

OK is ok. It will never be aok. Walmington-on-Sea by the Clyde.
Still annoyed at Paul in NISA using the COVID disruption as a convenient reason not to re-open his sub-post office after lockdown. He’s heard my considered view.
Tomorrow’s fun will be trying for the T20 cricket at Twisted Thistle instead of the Scotland nonsense.
Eat less. Move more. Keep breathing. C’mon the hoops.

Credit where it’s due to Brendan and Leicester.
Sell a full back for £45m.
Then buy a better one for half that.

I’m not one for blood and soil nationalism.
Your forebears (if you’ll pardon the expression) supported British Unionist political parties. They’re ethnic heitage has SFA to do with it.
Did the study discriminate between Catholics and Protestants
Big Packy

No worries, pal. Take care.

The Polish Air squadron had the highest kill rate during the battle of britain (despite an initial reluctance to use them by the geniuses in the british army). I’m sure you already know this it’s just I was telling my son about it during our dinner as a Polish boy has just joined his class :-)
McPHAIL BHOY:
Tom was born in Portsmouth,Willie,in Newry.
MCPHAIL BHOY,hi pal, would have to google that👍BHOYJOEBELFAST👍

Don’t encourage the nugget…………..

My grandfather was one of them.
Moved here from Gdansk after the war. 👍🇵🇱

I assume you mean the RAF rather than the army. It’s well know how effective the Polish pilots were. I believe it was because of their greater experience.
What’s less well known though was the reluctance of Polish Jews to serve in the free Polish forces, because of the level of anti Semitism they were subjected to.
Blood and soil nationalism is a cancer.

Patryk Klimala is the latest Polish player to play for Celtic.
Who was Celtic’s first Polish player?
DELANEYS DUNKY on 3RD SEPTEMBER 2020 7:11 PM
Wow! I’m impressed, I’ll need to tell my son that :-)
ERNIE LYNCH on 3RD SEPTEMBER 2020 7:12 PM
Piss off, you’re a superficially glib prick with no substance.
Don’t enourage the obvious nuggets…………..
darius Dziekanowski just a guess

DD:

Bhoyjoebelfast
Ok so Willie is the first then? Unless Newry was in Spain or Canada in 1888?
