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.”

It takes more than natural ability to make the grade at any level of football… Witness the many less talented players who appear every week….
Paddy for whatever reason never attained fitness or application levels to allow his talent to be fully released in the Hoops.
Unless you know of other reasons why Lenny doesn’t pick him?

Ja i do indeed..im impressed that you got the initials correct mein herr

Do you ever get a fish supper out of Bennys?
Tend to agree that his best position could be midfield. To me he has all the necessary attributes. He’s now at a crucial age and if he can avoid serious injury and keeps applying himself, I think can be a really top, top player – hopefully with Celtic.

May i be the foist to wish you many happy returns in just over 24 hrs

How about Efe and Victor in central midfied?
Both skilled and composed, playing with their head up.
Cheers Bhoy Jinky
South Glasgow got a good dusting of snow there but its stopped now, hammering down it was and lookin for a duvet day. Ach well never mind.

Getting personal abuse from Rangers fans for telling a story of Gazza’s time there. Nothing more, nothing less. Talk about mob mentality!

They are not endearing themselfs are they, nothing new there then, if brains were chocolate they couldn’t fill a smartie.

When we eventually catch up (in March – as you are off for 3 weeks from Friday), I can give you a fuller picture.
Enjoy Goa

Been there I think!!
Rascar,
Who would you have in central defence ?
My view is that Kelvin Wilson is at his best , when he is more of a sweeper than an out and out centre back , and from the various options , in short term Efe and Kelvin seems most effective.

We softies dont have the sheep to warm .our cockles
Partick snow fizzled out like a Scottish World Cup campaign.

How dare you? What abt the summer of 76? lol
TBJ – er no. Definitely not. No way.
I think this fitness argument stems from when Paddy first arrived at the club.
The step up from the regime at Derry to that at Lennoxtown came as a bit of a shock to him and he admitted himself that he struggled for quite a while.
That however is history and doesn’t apply now.
Maybe the reason why this notion has prevailed is that he is injured alot and rarely starts games so we seldom see him getting the full 90 minutes
TJB
Cockles?? Tee hee

I always enjoy goa… But heres the thing… I hire a honda scooter… This will be my 5th holiday that i have done so. The roads and tracks are mental and on the law of averages im due to get totalled by a tata truck…

Not sure my next home game as its the saints of mirren the weekend i get back but god willing i will be in my seat in march

I bet it’s colder here at night than it is in Aberdeen, I would also bet it’s much warmer here during the day as well.
I was up the back of 7 this morning it had got up to minus 6, can’t find the minus thing, and got up to + 20 this afternoon, no snow tho, might get a wee flurry, and can’t see any rain for a month or two either, all the while getting hotter by the day.
Weeminger
Mind … Paddys from derry.. Got death threats and bullets….ffs dont be lurking round his gaffe
We get lots of people who don’t know how to drive in snow here, the trouble up there is you got to spray the sheep different colours so you can find them in the snow.

You think you been where… The chippy or ruggie…. When i end up in the glen it feels like im heading to hampden and i lose my appetite and the will to live

I have a big problem with the creative side of the team.
I want Chaz at left back so he can ping crosses in.
I want Broon out right, so he’s not trying to be the playmaker.
Vic has to be middle, and I would play Paddy or Kris beside him.
So I suppose that means Kris.
Centre back… Wilson and Rogne
Reg Presley the lead singer with Trogs has died.

Read an article today on Peter Odemwingie, he is currently on £15,000 a week at WBA.
An average wage for a 3rd division SFL club.
Exiled
Least you get the heat…we’ve had a fair bit of -3 and seldom above 2
NAW, Wilson and Efe.
Rascar Capac
Charlie can’t play left back, he gets ripped inside and outside.
Left Mid or Centre half yes, LB no way.
Odemwinge would be great at Celtic

Europe-wide match fixing controlled by one gang in Singapore.
OG hints at a major problem for Sevco from Singapore-based investors.
2+2=5 or something in it?
>>>>
I speculated on this earlier today, on a purely empirical basis i.e. assertion based on observation. Also, the look on Chawll’s coupon looks decidedly ‘a whiter shade of pale’.

Whoever started bizzare rumour that I besmirched RFC, well done you’ve managed to get racist/threatening/idiots who ‘support’ RFC mobilised.
Are ticketus still hanging around ?

Do you reckon big peter might be hanging around the gates of lennoxtown then
Great for celtic…. The shop would make a fortune out of selling the letters on the back of the shirts
