Two significant goals

729

Nir Bitton’s goal was special but two goals last night were more significant.  Leigh Griffiths header for the first belied the player’s height and stature.  His scoring record with his head in recent months has been spectacular, whether darting into space to nick the ball goal-wards, as he did away to Dundee and Dundee United, or when he uses his salmon-leap to get up and stay up.

When he was at Livingston Leigh was the next hot young thing.  For whatever reason his path to the top wasn’t straight, but he’s now first choice striker at Scotland’s top club and making the most of it.

James Forrest’s goal was also full of what we want to see from him.  One-on-one with a defender, with space to run into, he did what he needed to do.  His pace took him past the defender and turned an opportunity into great chance.

Several players are finishing the season strongly.

    Any way you can include the keepers throw out and the defenders attempted through ball. ;)

     

     

    It is sensational.

     

     

    Celtic score goals like last night and the Huns concede goals like that today.

    “If” we win the league today what time do you think P67 will put a wee article up and what poster will grab that podium, if I was a betting man I think Bognor Bhoy will be poised ready to pounce…… Will Philvis return ? Or could Kev J upset this clique thingyhing all could be revealed soon…. Wee Miss GFTB is going out with her aunties for a meal so I am trying to get the Mrs to take me out for a couple of hours to celebrate her new wee team reaching the playoffs, no bad for a team that just got promoted

    Aye, bodes well for a good summer me thinks.

     

    See where you are, no sure if it’s Mazaron, but going out of the place, near the end, on the inland road, on the right there are a couple of Indian’s, one has like grass stuff on a patio thing, like a beach hut, is that in Puerto, or Mazaron ?

     

     

    Bloody good we thought, must go back sometime, but a seriously long ways to go for an Indian, Albox is the closest to us, and that is an hour away, went there last week for one, it was pure magic, and very reasonable, the best so far in Spain.

     

     

    Enjoy the weather.

    Enjoy your night brothers and sisters

  18. Very funny to see Bomber at the game today in front of Mini.A wee seat in the directors box with your pals,makes people forget all about Deeds,or anything derogatory.

     

    Anyway.Looks like today is the day.Never mind about “Without a ball being kicked”.We knocked the heart out of Aberdeen in this run in.While we were playing in cups,they were sneaking up on us,only to be knocked back into place again,by RDs Bhoys.

     

    A fantastic first season for RD.
