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.

Blackout on the cards
Zbyszek
Thanks for that.
I suspect Glik might go for a lot more than that now.
The gambling thing with Grosicki might be a bit of a problem unless he really has got it sorted. Just thought we had a chance when I saw he was with Rennes.
Prestonpans Bhoys
That’s a blast from the past, spot on right enough :-)

Swithered to watch the game in the bar or not, really wish I had now, it would have been fun to actually see and hear their pain.
Canny see the Iceman holding out tho.

Regardless of final score, worth it to hear their commentators and pundits trying to blame Bullshit Boris, Crap Corbyn or Humpty Hodgson and hide their embarrassment for Ingerlund being 2-1 down at HT to Iceland after leading too.

Evening all. Thanks for the birthday wishes earlier. As birthdays go , this one is getting better by the minute.

Joe Hart had a brilliant worms eye view of the second goal
SFTB
Yest, he has sorted the problem and can talk about it clearly. Celtic could have a chance becouse he was looking for loan or permanent contract as he was not very happy with the position at the club.

Seriously tho, my question to the team in the studio is this “Who Died?”
Please all you CQNers show a little respect for the best League in the history of mankind.
SIPSINISSON:))))
My neighbour here is Italian just seen him outside the house and he says “why are you soon happy” :)))))
Nearly pashed masses laughing’ that much, folk here don’t get the fitbaw really, they’re awe too nice:))
Well who saw that Comingson?
Iceland are Takinthepisson.
England are playing Butterfingerson in goal.
Kare ArneSaknussem took a Journey through the Centre of the English Defence.
When I was looking up famous Icelanders, I found this name:-
Ísleifur Gissurarson
Wonder what he’s famous for?
Grrrr spellcheck:))
Does Peter Crouch look like Barry Gibb on stilts?

Scotland’s Solution
No, sadly not our football team. If Scotland’s Parliament has a veto over Exit, they use it. If England and Wales still want to leave the EU, they will have to have another referendum to quit the UK. Scotland and N. Ireland are officially the UK and remain in Europe. England can do as they please. We’re all happy.
It’s like nobody wants to make a mistake! And of course that’s just what happens.
Joe Hart should have done better on the second but the he’s not the only one to blame.
The two centre backs not tackling at the top of the box . . . ” I don’t want to make a mistake”
and a mistake of omission is made, shot gets struck, Hart is somewhat blinded . . . 2-1!
What’s not to like!
It’s a team game; win and lose as a team. Every player is responsible for both winning and losing.
That attitude is very seldom present is money teams . . . but it’s almost always there in teams
that over achieve.

Since I’m logged on, if FF was playing, England wouldn’t be losing.
Reading some of the posts, I am left to conclude that our commentators are paragons of objectivity when describing the action in games featuring Scotland. Have I got that right? Not all English people are arrogant loudmouths. Indeed, in my experience, they are far more tolerant than the Scots.
Back to the armchair for the second half.
JJ
Whatever happens in the second half……what a braw braw game….
Cmon the COD WARRIORS….

Wonder when old Magnus Magnusson will pop up with the: “I’ve started so I will finish” line?
And to think that Scotland couldn’t even qualify for this.
England are winning the Yellow Card Euros…
Well played Lions..
