I’ve not seen enough of Kolo Toure or Shane Duffy to have a view on their appropriateness for Celtic but I’m very pleased that despite the headcount of central defenders, Brendan Rodgers appears to be aware that he’s only got one he can rely on. We cannot afford to have another season of set-piece trauma in Europe.
Aston Villa’s Scott Sinclair has the makings of a more profound signing for Brendan, especially if he arrives for anything close to Villa’s asking price. Ronny Deila foundered in a sea of wide midfielders who were unable to command a starting place for any duration. We are the club where wide players come to damage their career prospects. Most of those who have ‘walked through Parkhead gates’ in this time had done so on a sale-or-return basis; at circa £6m Scott Sinclair would need to be right.
A friend once asked why the Argentinians adore Diego Maradona but appear reluctant to appreciate Lionel Messi. Diego single-handedly delivered the World Cup in 1986 and retired from international football having given everything to his country as a 33-year-old. Leo bowed out with a couple of runners-up medals two days after his 29th birthday. He could easily compete in another two World Cups, if he had the appetite.
That’s not to judge Leo; maybe he identifies with the people he chose, not with a nation. Many of us do.

Daft challenge resulting in a penalty but these Island Nords are no mugs, as we can see…….1-1
The reason England aren’t winning is because Iceland are ‘stuck in the 80s’ playing a type of football the premiership pussies are not used to and it just isn’t fair – Glen Hoddle.
Can’t make up my mind about Hoddle.
Fanny or wanker?
Hee hee hee hee
Sandman
I think you will find he is a fanker
Glen Hoddle’s haircut is stuck in the 80’s.
Hahahahahahaaha. Park the trawler……

I’m always amazed every tournament that the English commentators are surprised when their team don’t play well. England have never been an Italy, a Germany a France or A Spain except in their own wee heids, they’re a wee team that’s expected to get to the quarters and anything else after that is a bonus.
Yes ya feckin’ daaaaancer
Whaaa….magic.
As I said earlier about Joe Hart:))))
Pish goalie
Football and Politics .
Chiellini has a degree in Economics and Commerce .
His view re Brexit –
” incomprehensible but they were very much misinformed “.
He was great today .. The woman from Padova rarely watches football. She did today and really got into it.Second goal had her up and dancing .
Norsemen 2-1 alf tuppers
The English have been frozen by the Icemen.

Serves them right – The Wall would have saved that with his Bunnet
Hart goes down like a tart – LOL!

Been watching a Channel 4 News special. Frightening. Hopefully, the men from Iceland will warm me up. Gawn yersels, lads. 2-1.
England are gonna need a Blow Torch to get through this chilled out defense

Who does Arron Gunnarsson play his football for these days – he could surely do a job for the Celts.

Great save Son
Cracking shot, cracking save.
Another good game.
Brother in a Corfu bar full of English, told him to sit by the Germans and enjoy himself….
Any coach who reckons that Joe Hart is a better keeper that Forster shouldn’t be near a football team.
Cmon now lads …..Iceland have around 100 football professionals to pick from…..less is more…
Hahahahahaha
