    One for the not so young, maybe even the aged.

     

     

     

    Lustigs fancy footwork yesterday I learned from Twitter is called a “rabano?” for some reason.

     

     

     

    I remember Weighorst did it but my memory tells me that John Colrain was an exponent back in early 60s.

     

     

     

    It also tells me he was called Big Hookey and if as a result of that fancy footwork why is a “Rabano” not called a “Hookey”? :)

    RABONA

     

    Rabona in Spanish means to play hooky, to skip school. The name derives from its first documented performance by Ricardo Infante in a game between Argentinian teams Estudiantes de la Plata and Rosario Central in 1948.

     

    The football magazine El Gráfico published a front cover showing Infante dressed as a schoolboy with the caption “El infante que se hizo la rabona” (In English: “The infant plays hooky”).

  2. My friends in Celtic,

     

     

    The aftermatch interviews was compulsive viewing for a Celtic supporter. Quite possibly the best insight into our team that I have ever heard from a Celtic manager. Well done to Sky for that.

     

    Virgin have offered me free Sky Sports for 6 weeks; Are they losing viewers ?

     

     

    On another note ; everybody who has posted in the debates overnight and this morning have all posted Celtic posts , either during or post game. If we keep repeating ourselves it becomes boring. And this Celtic team are certainly not boring.

     

    One of the things that makes CQN the market leader is it’s diversity. I personally have learned from this diversity.

  3. Anyway, we’ll all have much more time to post in the future as all our jobs are taken by Robots.

     

     

    Unless we are lucky enough to build or program the Robots:-))))

    Compulsive viewing for Mark Warburton. He’s currently in lockdown trying to understand what Brendan was talking about. He is currently looking for his enigma machine.

    I understand Sky did ask warbie for a similar post match analysis – but they asked him what he could offer to which he replied

     

    ‘my tactics are – get intae them’

     

     

    that will be a no then

  6. MWD,

     

     

    I remember working in the semi conductor industry before it’s collapse. I was gobsmacked by the Robots, they were fascinating.

     

     

    No smoke breaks.

     

    No lunch or tea breaks.

     

    No demarcation

     

    No hangovers

     

    No emotional baggage.

     

    No clean suits and PPE.

     

    No arguments

     

    No skyving ( Is that the right spelling )

     

     

    But their taste in Music was dire. Bl@@dy same tune over and over. I trust the new generation of Robots will be more musically sophisticated.

    It certainly put McCann and Tanners gas at a peep!

     

    Poor souls had to throw away the usual hun script they had prepared for after the game!

    I think “hooky” was the nickname of John Mcphail.

     

    Not old enough to have seen him play but I was in st mungo in bonehead at a mass a few years back and I saw “cfc, . Hooky Mcphail” carved on a pew.

    Great. Just need one band to sing one song. Killing off another industry.

     

     

    Right where did I leave my space ship. I want to go to Pandora.

  10. Gene,

     

     

    Yes , the breadman is certainly becoming increasingly irrational every time I hear him. It’s a trait I’ve noticed when managers are on their last legs.

     

     

    The only good thing about these unearthly kick off times is that we are all still sober for the aftermatch interviews. It would have been such a waste to have missed any of BR’ s thinking.

     

     

    Anyway , soon be able to buy a decent loaf soon. I’ve missed Warburtons.

    Dave King has signed a contest with a company that makes wheels for disabled dogs for when his last legs go. Cheaper than paying him off.

    I’ve been pretty much ignoring you since reappearance but I’ll make an exception here.

     

     

    Your remark to SOUTHOFTUNIS was disgraceful.

     

     

    He has mentioned frequently a tattooed number on his mother’s arm,and you see fit to come out wi that crap?

     

     

    Prick.

    Rather worryingly,I just replayed all those goals in my head!

     

     

    Always said the Carlos Alberto was the best I’d ever seen,with a sublime finish.

     

     

    Apart from the ones to beat the huns,of course.

    re penalty.if the ball did missed his elbow it would have gone right into danger area where 2 at least celtic players were waiting.if you are standing right on bye line at edge of box and ball hits your arm it’s a bit iffy ,if you are standing on goal line and it hits you it’s a SONEWALLER.

  19. Reading the comments from yesterday about Police behaviour, and the intimidation of fans perceived to be terrorists because they’re taking photographs ( takes an elastic imagination to make that jump ). Instead of taking photographs, why not ‘go-live’ on facebook and effectively broadcast the behaviour of the guardians of truth and justice. By filming this and getting it on facebook, it’ll be out there, and will be very quickly shared. there can then be no denial by Poilce scotland and no ambiguity about how or why they have acted.

  20. Not sure I agree Paul, my counter would be it’s all about quality, especially at the top end of the pitch. There were three key factors yesterday, firstly the penalty and resulting psychological affect on St. Johnstone, secondly them tiring as the game wore on and thirdly our absolute quality and class in the final third, namely Roberts, Moussa and Sinclair.

     

     

    When you analyse the entire match, they gave everything for a good chunk of it and got stuck right in. We on the other hand were careless in possession and too slow in our build up in the first half. As the game wore on they dropped off and it became easier to keep the ball and win it back quickly. That is when the quality comes through.
