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.”

    A wee thought about the ‘boycott’.

     

    Well said shady, I nominate you to start a CQN list as to what they have boycotted over the years. It could be a very long list but I am sure you will get some help on here, I would suggest you number them backed up with facts, I hope you are not to busy over the coming months. I will start you off…….

  2. That business about a CL game in England under investigation is massive news.

     

     

    I would have thought that English players at that level are on so much money that a bribe wouldn’t be worth risking their career on.

     

     

    Unless it was the opposition that were bribed to lose? However, very few foreign teams win in England so the briber wouldn’t need to spend money.

     

     

    It couldn’t be us – I thought there was something suspicious about the 3-0 defeat to Man U when we had a team of midgets and Cillian Sheridan.

  3. ‘It couldn’t be us – I thought there was something suspicious about the 3-0 defeat to Man U when we had a team of midgets and Cillian Sheridan.’

     

     

    Before the legal dept get involved, that was a joke, btw.

  4. I cannot believe people on here are getting excited about the HMRC appeal. Please God not another 12 months of “what’s happening?” and “when is the verdict coming out?” Have we learned nothing?

  5. Why is McCourt in CL squad He is a wasted jersey NL says Gershon and Rogic cant be in squad due to there lack of fitness/match practice

     

    So can tell me why never fit McCourt is in pool?

     

     

    If i didnt know better I would think our manager was pandering to a small section of our support Cant think of any football related reasons for McCourt being in CL squad

    The appeal hearing will be in public, and will be proper boring legal argument.

    STV/ Rangers news accused of airbrushing scandal

     

     

    The fashion world was rocked today when STV Rangers news was accused of airbrushing a performance by the designer- Mel from Benidorm’s- top clothes model- stake bake McCoist. McCoists display of the “Gentleman of the road” style, comprising of a slightly tight around the waist, foodstained jogging suit brilliantly matched with an unlaced single brown brogue was completely omitted from the broadcasters weekend sports report. When asked about this STV spokesman Raymond Bagwash shuffled papers nervously and stated …,”John, John”

    Still hopeful that Paddy has a small but significant part to play in a CL game

     

     

    as the game stretches in extra time v Juve in Turin -tired legs and we need a goal

     

     

    Paddy steps up weaves past 5 and slots in the winner

    Justice is sometimesca long, hard road……but it usually ‘getscthere’ ……patience is a virtue

  12. The Comfortable Collective on

    I know our hero is styled on Mel from Benidorm, but I watched “The Hotel” last night and instantly thought of our hero.

     

     

    Not so much a physical resemblence, more a similar business style and accumen.

    Is Paulo D’Canio yearning for home, or a new challenge….?

  16. New bhoys been signed for about 2-3 weeks ,2 nd leg v Juve a month away,how long to get them fit?

  17. 67/saltires

     

     

    67 erse or not can you tell me how many minutes mccourthas played in Europe If he was anyone else u would agree but for some unknown reason people believe that after 4 years of non existing contribution that by some miracle mccourt is gonna turn into a player Well not me

     

    I would rather give a Rogic McGeoch or even Atjic a jersey than him

     

    Just my opinion but it is based on 4 years of him taking wages for almost non existant contribution

  18. I won’t be bored explaining it to them all over again, haha, and expect LNS will be talking shorty.

    Crickey…..this match fixing scandal is in the same league as the zombies dual-contract scandal ……

  21. Europe-wide match fixing controlled by one gang in Singapore.

     

    OG hints at a major problem for Sevco from Singapore-based investors.
