Watching players on the edge

1018

I like watching a professional perform on the edge. We watched Anthony Stokes do just that at the Cup Final, where despite two superb goals from Gary Hooper, he was clearly head and shoulders above everyone else on the field. This has not always been the way for Anthony, so has too often failed to command a starting place, and live up to the form he promised all those years ago at Falkirk.

Celtic have put a contract in front of him but it will be considerably lighter than the contract Hooper has no intentions of signing. It’s very much up to Anthony now. Deliver and the riches will follow. Don’t bet against him.

Only just catching up on the somewhat demeaning promotion of a football club hiring a new team bus. Every time I see the coach/manager at that club, buses, or to be more precise, Blakey, from On the Buses comes to mind. These people lend themselves to parody so unselfishly.

Coach/Manager

Inspector Blakey

The fascinating part is, only one of the two above was trying to be ridiculous. You enjoy another day of being a Celtic fan.

  1. The MSM seem to be enjoying the fact we are missing out on compensation for Rogne; you could make the deficit up with cash lying about any ole bus company:)

  2. C1st.

     

    We shouldn’t be giving parks any money. .

    In terms of Sevco’s wages/ turnover ratio, it’s about £100 wages per member of staff per turnover per day, although the management team only go for turnovers if the steak bakes are sold out.

     

    +++++++++++++++++++++++

     

    And the fudge donuts come in side bags that are not registered at Reception but are eligible to be eaten by furtive recipients unless Bryson calls, spots them and wheechs them away as ineligible donuts, which they would not have been had he not spotted them. What a way to run a fakery. I mean bakery. I mean football entity. :)

    Members of the public can hire the sevco bus on the days that sevco are not having to play any football matches.

     

     

    I’ve just hired it for the day of the third round of the Scottish cup.

  6. I’ve been told that “dark- haired” Jimmy Bell’s seat has been specially fitted with a flame retardant anti-macassar………

    Murray wobbling,1 set up lost 4games in a row 2-5 Russian serving for set.

     

    McEnroe is a brilliant commentator.

  8. Hapless Tour De Tier 3 coach driver Allez de Bake de Steak found himself compromising sporting integrity yet again in his first day in his new summer job last week.

     

     

    Allez drove his new team bus under the finish line gantry on his first Tour De Tier 3 engagement – and was aghast to see the vehicle get wedged underneath!

     

     

    The mishap caused consternation as race bosses moved the finish line, then when they moved the bus, they moved it back again! The consternation concluded with all racers being awarded identical times for their efforts that day – ideas that Allez joked were so bonkers they must have come from his pals at the SFA!

  9. Hold on a minute here!

     

     

    Doesn’t wee Fergus own a (luxury) bus/coach company which runs daily services between Boston and NYC?!

     

     

    Get on the blower to him PL – at once!

     

     

    HH!!

  10. Sevco investors Bus Billionaires Easdale have had £100,000 stolen from their bus depots.

     

     

    Allegedly – you can see the depot for 99p on Sevco.TV

    All not well between management team and club captain.

     

    Elbows running rough-shod over them. The big fat one reckons Allez should have binned him months ago!!

    Sevconians looking for a shock invite to Europe through the UEFA ‘Exact Fare Play’ scheme.

  16. In a subtle move designed to set ever new standards in promotion the Gers Battle Bus is due for a refit in time for Poppy Day with new cammo paint job and the installation of Lancaster Bomber type rear gun implacements………..

     

     

    Celebrity teddy – “Goffy”, is interested in the role, should ra Bomber, bomb it out.

  17. !!Bada Bing!! on

    channelislandcelt- have heard a few times Elbows slagging the alleged coaching team.

  18. Well Celtic have officially announced Rogne is gone with their good wishes. There has been no official word on Murphy even though we know he has signed for Ipswich, nothing about Miku, Lassad, Gershon or Paddy. Thought that maybe they were waiting for July 1st when window officially opened. surprisedcsc.

    I hope our scouts know about Ante Rebic Croatia under 20s player,this guy is a star in the making.Go get him Celtic.

  20. Some come back from murray after 5-2 down in the second set..to win 7-6 after a tie break..lotts of silly errors on his part and showed great fight to come back and win

    Div3 MOTY may have taken advice too literally when told that when goin’ to difficult away grounds eg Gayfield,Somerset Park, Stair Park,Glebe Park etc etc sometimes you just need to ‘park the bus’.
