Value of Ledley’s back post goals

764

Celtic didn’t hit the heights of last week’s win at Tynecastle against Inverness last night but it was a remarkably controlled win nonetheless.  The game could have been over as a contest in the opening minutes but as the lead didn’t extend beyond a single goal the contest retained an edge.

Daniel Majstorovic was incorrectly penalised when he correctly challenged for the ball 25 yards from goal but the Swede’s lax initial response to the forward ball created the situation that resulted in his red card.  Dan had a painful game against Inverness last season but after they were reduced to 10 men Celtic were far too composed to let Inverness’ numerical advantage count.

We’ve spoken about the value of goals from midfield in recent seasons.  Kris Commons lit up Celtic’s season when he arrived in a flurry of goals last year but Joe Ledley’s efforts from the back post this season could prove to be even more important.

  2. Radio Nacional boys seem to think the Benzema goal should have stood. Real Madrid have since hit the post.

     

     

    Good enough for them, but this won’t last.

    A simple apology takes less time than a poor defence.

    If the Celtic board are complicit in voting them back in to the SPL then for me the baw’s burst and it’s the death of Scottish Football.

     

     

    Despite 40 years of supporting Celtic and being a shareholder/season ticket holder for the last 18 ,I wont be back!!

     

     

    They should start from the SFL….. if they’ll have them.

    here is a sample of jokes – at least i think so

     

     

     

    Crime in multi-storey car parks. That is wrong on so many different levels.

     

     

     

    Eric Bristow asked me why I put superglue on one of his darts. I said you just can’t let it go can you?

     

     

     

    I saw this advert in a window that said: “Television for sale, £1, volume stuck on full.” I thought, “I can’t turn that down.”

     

     

     

    I’ve just been on a once-in-a-lifetime holiday. I’ll tell you what, never again

     

     

     

    Conjunctivitis.com – that’s a site for sore eyes (this year’s Lafta winner)

     

     

     

    So I said to a Scottsman ‘did you have terrible spots as a kid?’ He said ‘ac ne’

     

     

     

    Do you ever get that when you’re half way through eating a horse and you think to yourself, ‘I’m not as hungry as I thought I was’
