Uncommon penalties and chaotic weeks of back-biting

782

Kris Commons looked like he had put a lot of practice into taking penalties yesterday.  The ball was firmly hit and found the corner of the net, a feat which is far from impossible but which has been beyond various Celtic players for the last few years.  We have little a little over a month before we could face a penalty kick competition against Juventus.  Penalty kick practice should be on the menu every day between now and then, for the entire squad.

I’m delighted Lukasz Zaluska has had an extended run in the team.  No player will be at his best if he is seldom tested and never in important games.  Lukasz carried his share of the blame for last weekend’s Hampden defeat but not every keeper can pull off a Nigel Spink.  Good to have Fraser back for Inverness.

If you read on a Celtic site that The Rangers chief executive and chairman are “at loggerheads” after “a chaotic week of back-biting” or that there is a prospect they will “frighten the life out of those institutional investors who ploughed £17million into the coffers little more than a month ago”, you would be forgiven for discounting the claim as a case of wishful thinking.

When it comes from the Daily Record and recent colleague of the club’s newly installed head of media you can be sure there is a little more to it than that.

You would think with all the positive feedback Green and Murray would have received form the SPL Commission they would be flush with joys.  I sincerely hope, for their sake, that Phil’s Bridge over Troubled Waters ditty was more wishful thinking than another leak from the media team.  That would be embarrassing.  “Squelch.”

    Given Jangle Jangle’s comparing the deady bears to a disembodied spectral phantasm, maybe the name of their next incarnation should be Wraith Rovers.

  6. BFDJ said he disagreed with “most of what Traynor wrote(sic) ” when he was a lapdog but strangely coming to his defence now……

    Can anyone explain why Servco are to be allowed to register players next september1? My understanding was they were to miss 2 full transfer windows, it now appears they will only miss 1.

  13. I like this part from the FTT.

     

     

    “As for Mr Black, he denied that the scheme was for tax avoidance in cross-examination, though he went on to describe the scheme as ‘a method of us acquiring, especially football wise, better players in a more cost effective manner than we would be able to do so’; that the club had been ‘very ambitious at that time’; and ‘it was seen as a correct and proper way for us to proceed’; that Rangers ‘have been very successful, because we’ve been able to attract players of a certain standard that, perhaps, we may not have been able to otherwise’ (Day 5/126).”

    12 And Rogic nearly makes it 2-0! He skips past several challenges and collects a return pass from Stokes. His first effort is blocked…

    Just read Graeme Spiers attempts at trying to reinvent and sanitise the Sevco support through his article about those who attended the game at Tannadice on Saturday. Fail!

    They missed the recent one in January 2013 and they will miss the next one which ends on August 31st. however, technically, but not morally they are able to sign free agents from I

     

    1st September. It is in their interest to have a quiet word with players at other clubs whose contracts are due to end in the summer to let their contract run down and not sign for anyone else and Sevco will pick them up on 1September. High risk strategy for any players.

  17. BFDJ” I have no idea who signed these players”

     

    Caller :”Why dont you ask Ally who signed these players next time your having a coffee”

     

    BFDJ “splutter, splutter….”

     

     

    Hilarious
