Sometimes, watching Celtic is akin to the life being sucked out of you. Today was one of those days. My football soul, left my body and is now being probed on the Discovery Channel in glorious HD.
It was 93 mins I will never get back. It’s a game I’ve already forgot.
Like all luxury items Porcelain Paddy proved to be delicate. He looked like he wouldn’t survive a cotton wash before he left the field suffering from another freak aliment. Scott Brown left the field suffering from stupidity after a fly kick caused him to go over on his ankle.
As he looks for signs of life in his packed lunch box, Biram Kayal will need to look out more hair gel and a book on ‘How to play a short pass’ with Efrain Juarez needing to find his hunger that made him an early candidate for player of the year.
The uneasy truce between Glenda and Danny is showing signs of fraying. They remind me of estranged parents meeting divorce lawyers. It’s icy, it’s cold and seems held together by necessity rather than want. Glenda was badly at fault for their goal. Danny didn’t let him forget it.
The Bhoy Stokes did good. Won the penalty then scored the type of goal that made him noticeable in the first place. The second goal typified how simple this game should have been. Decent ball into the box, not to the first man, not to the back stick but right into the 6 yard mixer.
The winner today was ponderous plentiful possession and that the league table say’s 5 out of 5. That is the only measurable outcome from this game.
Halo: Reach” is now available for pre-order at participating retailers worldwide in Standard, Limited and Legendary editions.
Watching that today was a wee taste of what it’s like to be a Hun (except they would have got a second penalty when Maloney was tripped). Remember, be good, or it’s an eternity of games like this in the Bad-Fire Premier League.
Liked the fact that Ki was trusted to come on and see out the game. I’d like to more of this bhoy.
That’s not what it’s like to be a Hun. Bad football is only one bit of the package. Drunken thuggery, incest, crime and animal mutilation after sexual gratification are the other parts.
Shat myself when Ki came on. We were poor at that point ad feared Lenny had lost it.
A slight blip. We won the game and these sort of results is what makes you champions. Just thought I would comment on the genius that is Porcelain Paddy….That bhoy has the worst luck on the planet
@Liam
Paddy needs to learn to salute magpies in the morning.
Ki replaced Kayal, cos Kayal was flirting with a red card and was pulled for his own safety. Like lordofthewing I, erm, felt uncomfortable when he came on. Ki is the sort of player you bring on when you are coasting three nil at home.
The obvious substitution was to bring on Sami for Murphy, who was knackered.
Not sure that Murphy and Stokes work together. Maybe Hooper and Stokes with Paddy or Sami as the impact sub on 70min mark, with Murphy to come on if we get a last minute penalty
😉
@Sixtaeseven
Murphy is pie. There I’ve said it.
Not comfortable but I would take a 2-1 win at rugby park anyday of the week.
I thought ‘Emilio Izzy’ was exceptional in bursts, Stokes did what we all know him for and this might sound strange but I was glad paddy went off at the time he did because I expected one of killies defenders to take him out when he went all ‘Messi’ at them, the noticable fan would have spotted that they kept doubling up on him in phases and I suspected it was only a matter of time before his legs got smashed from a late one by one of their hairy oafs, so an arm/shoulder injury to paddy may be a positive when compared to a leg injury which he could have got.
Still we have only conceded 1 goal in the league, but with a cup match at Information Computer Technology and Hibs to come in the next 6 days the side will start to gel even more. Looking bright room and for improvement.
@Sean
I class myself as a noticeable fan I had noticed that Paddy had two on him. As a noticeable fan as well, I noticed something up with his body language and an urge to get off as quick as possible.
