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.

They are having the same sort of problems again, it’s cos they allow them to drive on their provisional licence without a supervised driver.

Good evening friends
If we sign Kris Boyd will he become Chris boyd, and will
I’m at it, why is Kris Commons not Chris Commons.
A girl i knew had 265 driving lessons,eventually the instructor said to her “do you want to sit in the front..?..”
I see jungle Jim was espousing with glee that any unhappy celtic supporters were being ethically cleansed from CP. Meanwhile I wonder if tonydonnely has managed to complete his dossier on dodgy celtic fans who post in the wrong way on CQN.
I am delighted at the records we are setting but shouldn’t we. Be setting them with no remote competition in Scotland.
Are you all proud of the ethnic cleansing?
Hun skelper
WAT?!!
Haha naw i agree – hes so shoite hes brilliant
Hes hilarious

TET they are having problems again but if greedy insurance companies refused to pay out to learner drivers unaccompanied it would solve the problem. Country is a shambles on so many levels.

I agree with whatever it was somebody said about something.
And another thing, If somebody also said that something was going to happen before it happened and then it did happen, well then, I totally agreed with whoever said it would happen before it happened.
Fact!

When I lived there, my neighbours son was quoted 3500 a year for insurance, he was 18 with a provisional.
He never bothered and just drove anyways, got caught 3 times driving without insurance in 3 years, fined 100, 200 and 300 euros, when he was 21 his quote dropped to 1000 which he took out.
Shambles, Aye.
