As this clean sheet run has continued, every time Fraser Forster has made a good save, I’ve found myself suggesting that the defence is not playing as tightly as it used to. We quickly regard exceptional performance as the norm.
Fraser has, of course, been exceptional, again, this season. Efe Ambrose and Virgil van Dijk are fast and commanding. Virgil has a presence about him, like Wanyama, but bigger. On the flanks, despite the lack of competition, Emilio Izaguirre is performing at his best, while Adam Matthews, Mikael Lustig and Darnell Fisher have shuffled through the right back position as availability dictates.
I have a notion that Scott Brown is also worth credit for the defensive performance. He seems to have grown this season, perhaps as a consequence of fitness. This is his best season yet.
Ultimately the game is all about tactics. Any team can keep a clean sheet but 10-in-a-row (get used to reading that) is a consequence of team plan, which is where Neil Lennon comes in.
Tomorrow is the final day to confirm tickets for our CQteN St Patrick’s Day Dinner on 14 March at the Kerrydale Suite. The dinner will raise funds to build a kitchen at Kholoni Primary School in Mchinji, Malawi, where 1200 kids currently attend without food facilities. If you have lost your invoice email me, celticquicknews@gmail.com
See you there.

McGrory 1888 how many electricians do you know called Paul
Old Joke is going really well. Says he doesn’t like teams buying leagues. Anyone remember him saying that back in the 90s?
Also, apparently we overlook Scottish league players in favour of foreigners with fancy names.
What, like Regi Blinker?

Nicely put, and exactly what I meant.
Something is brewing, there are several alternatives.
Paul67 has been hinting, so Winning Captain says, if you read recent articles, there are several possibilities. I thought I had it, now not so sure, this wasn’t what I first thought.
My first option is still my favorite, and preferred.
It’s official: Kris Boyd is mince.
There ye go…there’s yer dinner.

What you thinking ?

Good article, I assume when you say Brownie has grown you didn’t mean grown up. Can’t yet forgiven him for the Barca red card and subsequent suspensions.

Looks like that will be a good laugh – although Lindsay’s drivel will be hard to top.

A Polish guy applies to take his driving test in the East End of Glasgow, and was advised to first get his eyes tested.
The optician showed him a card with the letters. On the bottom row were;
C Z W I X N O S T A C Z
‘Can you read that?’ asks the Eye Doctor
‘Read it?’ ‘Stop right there. I know the guy!’

You were lucky as a kid.
My Mum was in hospital for a lengthy period of time when I was very young but she survived it ok.
Main problem was we ate complan and porridge every single day as far as I can remember.

Talking of Provisional Licences, a few years ago in Ireland, a huge number pf people had provisionals, the government said at the time, an Irish solution to an Irish problem, and gave them all full licences, simples >}

Listening to the debate on Clyde about the merits of Kris Boyd for us.
Has me wondering if there was another reason why he didn’t play against us last night apart from being single fish??

Good video…I think we should sign thon Amido chap!
I admire Turnbull Hutton for his bravery in standing up to the bully’s.
I also think their new remember away kit is a really good initiative.
I just fear we might get some populist copycat stuff from our former rivals.
Obviously not in green like Raith have gone.

Regular and skinny. That’s a diet you should punt
We should sign Louis Tomlinson on a full time contract.
Might not be the best player but the attendances would sky rocket, some from his female followers and some from ones seeing if he is going to throw up again.
