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.”

    ‘Hahahah.

     

     

    Just seen the Eric Cantona Kronenburg advert. Superb. ‘

    Certainly a big improvement on his attempt to break into the estate agency training video market.

    When did Chuck green rope in big Eric to do the new Ibrox tour vid?

    hen1rik,

     

    Lionroars67 posted it earlier, great piece.

     

    Hail Hail

  3. Dr Poon continues “It is not

     

    accepted that there had been no

     

    deliberate concealment of the

     

    side-letters, in view of how the

     

    first side-letter only came to

     

    light through the seizure of Mr

     

    Berwick’s file nearly four years

     

    into the enquiry. It is not

     

    accepted that the non-disclosure

     

    of the side-letters arose from a

     

    ‘credible’ view that Mr Red

     

    considered the side-letters

     

    irrelevant to HMRC’s enquiry.”

     

    She then goes on to say, that, in her

     

    opinion, “The side-letters showed

     

    a form of contractual

     

    arrangement”.

     

    Dr Poon then speculates “A fair

     

    conclusion to be drawn from the

     

    circumstantial evidence on the

     

    one hand, and Mr Red’s oral

     

    evidence on the other, is that

     

    the side-letters had been

     

    actively concealed. The reason

     

    for the concealment might have

     

    been, in Mr Red’s view, the side-

     

    letters could be incriminating

     

    evidence against the impression

     

    of the trust operation that he

     

    had been trying to give.”

  4. •-:¦:-•** -:¦:- sparkleghirl :¦:-.•**• -:¦:-• on

    What’s the ghostly noises coming over Clyde? is it a kid with a recorder?

  5. Sparkleghirl

     

    Sounds like he’s been interviewed in an empty portakabin in the western isles!!!!

  6. The Narrowbhoat Tim on

    What’s that howling at the back of Jabba’s interview? is it the ghost of a dead fitba club or is it Fat Sally wailing that his local Greggs has closed?

  7. From Sevcomedia with no comment whatsoever:

     

     

    “Word of mouth from Ibrox reception is that Green is tieing up a deal with Terrys who make chocolate. The stadium would remain Ibrox but have Terrys around the boards and in Gers ticket adverts online and in papers.

     

     

    Chocolate orange they make but I don’t believe they will sponsor a strip.

     

     

    The stadium 72 bar will be renamed the Terrys Chocolate bar for two seasons.

     

     

    They may strike up a deal in the megastore selling Rangers Terrys chocolate footballs linking this obviously to their most famous product. “

  8. Ghostly noises over clyde could be hwlicopters. Apparently something going on involving ambulances etc. Dont know what yet.

  9. Captain

     

    They’re so tainted even their director of propaganda does not want to be associated,

     

    A bit like leggos stained trousers, the stench lingers.

  10. saltires en sevilla on

    not Terry’s choc Orange strips?

     

     

    Mebbes Terry’s All Gold??

     

     

    we’ve had Whyte ..Green and now All Gold

     

     

    Interesting options

     

     

    Green, Whyte and Gold

  11. Traynor = Fud !!!!! Who hit the Huns repeatedly over the head with a crowbar ???? Repercussions ???? Same old same old ! Hurting Huns threats aggressive threats and angry threats !!! Truth honesty and fairness is what Hmrc want ! Every Uk taxpayer needs to know that what happened with the dead club will not be allowed to happen again !

  12. Saltires is bang on the money,Spencie would have ripped Traynor a new one,for your Senior Media Monkey to slag the display on Saturday,let the show begin.Robbie never asked Jabba about his public burial of his new employers.

  13. jinkyredstar cuts it back for Neil Lennon on

    Scottish Cup didn’t happen at the weekend according Dougie V on Shortbread!

  14. No fan of ‘Ned’ but twice now he’s made the point that they are about to face the anniversary of administration (and subsequent liquidation) – meantime…………….

     

     

    Celtic are looking forward on the 12th to being the 1st Scottish Club to reach the quarter-finals in the current Champions League format!

     

     

    :-)

    There was Rugby, Golf and Ice Skating but name fit a

     

    I must have been in a shower with Bobby Ewing all weekend!

    The huns keep going on about being debt free as if its some badge of honour. The sheer brass neck of everyone associated with this sorry football club has become mindboggling. Its like telling the whole street youve no debt after bumping your neighbour for five grand you owe him for the motor he sold you.

     

    Jabba sounds no different from a rank and file deluded bigot dragged out of the louden at shutting time.

  17. 'crushed nuts?' 'Naw, Layringitis!' on

    DJ sounding desperate, shug laying it on thick re Juve, apparent schmuck from mearns!Plant!!!

     

    Agreeing with shady! Manager lucky! Where do they get these relatives?
