Is Scotland the only country that can make a more than decent attempt to cheapen a Papal visit by selling crap merchandise in the shape of flags? Why, would anyone want to buy one of these things? If anyone reads this and bought one of these can they tell me if they are off sound mind?
If not I will send round the men with white coats, just hang the flag outside your bedroom window and they’ll knock.
Enough, of Scottish social commentary onto the football.
The first half of the first half was tedium. I spent the time marvelling at the speed, which Cha Du Ri’s hair grows, wondering if Celtic are claiming grants from the government for employing people with slight disabilities as Emillio Izaguirre, or Lizzie McGuire, and Anthony Stokes have joined James Forrest in the no neck club. They all look like they have been bashed on the head by Timmy Mallet.
Not that it effects their ability to play football.
Jeffries and Brown are two old hags. They are the type who would eat your steak bake then blame someone else even though they have gravy running down their chin. The $ex toy every women or man should have, Wullie Collum, gave them something to moan about but their holding a high line tactics ensured that a number of wrong decisions were made during the game.
Hearts were meant to the first big test. They were an elephant in a bikini and in that kit reminded me of Embassy Club tokens.
Lizzie proved that he could defend a bit, though he was what is termed ‘rash’ in the second half when he brought down a Hearts player for what should have been a penalty, Glenda and Danny tagged team Gargoyle Kyle, Forrest did well, again, and Cha Du Ri crossing came with a health warning.
Up top Maloney was wasteful and Samaras gave a comic performance that was only funny as we were 2 up at the time. Though can we expect anything less from a man knocked down the pecking order due to Darryl Murphy. Paddy McCourt had a cameo. His goal was impressive but the ball he played Maloney with the outside of his foot was jaw dropping as well as his crossfield pass to Cha Du Ri from the left back area.
The Coffee & Tv MOTM goes to Joe Ledley. When the first half was struggling to resemble a game he seemed to pop up in the right areas and play the right passes. Say, neat and tidy in a Welsh accent, bhoyo. Can I say it was Lennyesq?
This was a routine victory.
Full trailer for ‘Buried’ the new thriller which hits cinemas Sept 29
Overall MOTM.
Ledley 2
Brown 1
Maloney 1
I saw men selling flags but I didn`t see anyone else with one.:-)
A routine win but one that non biased media people will do much to undermine. Just like with Kenny Miller`s late goal v St Johnstone.
Have a good week. Football on TV on Wednesday and Thursday but no Holby this week. 🙁
@Iain440
I saw one being purchased before I could ask the man had disappeared…
The MIB had a poor, poor game and that should be highlighted.
There is football on Tuesday, Iain…
Not on my telly Kevin.:-(
Just watched the BBC highlights. Nothing to worry about, Celtic won 3-0!
Thought Murphy was immense for us. Hooper might not have been fit, but I think Murphy should start with either Stokes or Hooper when fit. Hooper and Stokes seem too similar to work together.
@matt
I think a lot of players did ok. Nothing special and nothin bad.
Team is still gelling and although mistakes are still being made and the thing still looks fragile, the signs are good.
In previous seasons, even a 2 goal lead still made you nervous against ANY team. Now that appears to be a good enough cushion (talking domestic games here).
Really like the look of Emilio, Kayal, Murphy and the big goalie too.
Worried about what a better team (huns?) will do to our defense (unless Cha and Loovens can up their game or we find better).
We still need a run of games to know what the best combination is for midfield. Skoosh is taking a lot of stick at the moment, but he knows the score in the SPL whereas others are literally off the boat. Could (and should) be horses for courses, so everybody’s got a role to play.
Liked also the manager’s use of subs (including pulling off the captain).
GB displays and support looked good, too.
Jeffries is a mug. He played a dangerous game with his offside tactics and played the price.
No bias form the officials: they were just very poor. What does wee scrot Black need to do to get carded?
And yes, there is indeed unmissable fitba on Tuesday 🙂
@sixtaeseven
Black wasn’t as annoying as usual. He must be keeping it for the game in Embra…
Jeffries got his excuses in early – made the first run of the (lazy) newspapers who reported his comments without even checking the offsides. Typical press undermining a great display by Celtic. Dare I say even Stein may have been impressed with some of those long flowing moves we made?
Thought Murphy was great and big Danny Bhoy at the back immense (in every sense of the word).
A clue to the flags may have been the slogan “Our God regins” – just some “entrepreneurs” trying to cash in on Neds on the wind-up. Nothing to do with those with religious beliefs I am sure…
@Jockybhoy
I never thought that the sellers or the buyers had any religious intentions with them whatsoever. Another added to the list of ‘Only In Scotland’.
Think Stein would be impressed by Paddy.
btw should have said “Our God reigns”
