Are All McDonalds A Pain In The A**e?
Posted by: | CommentsSkippy Still Moaning..
And he doesn’t even play for us anymore!
Not content at getting a fresh start after played for his boyhood heroes, Scott McDonald has to keep nagging on about Mogga.
Why?
It didn’t get him far while he was at Celtic Park, so why does he keep bashing his gums about Tony Mowbray.
You would think he’d be more interested in kick-starting his Middlesbro career!
Maybe it’s because he’s a McDonald thing……
You see, there is ‘another’ McDonald that seems hell bent in putting the boot into the Hoops…….Dougie.
Remember him, the same Dougie that sent-off Aiden at Easter Road, Broonie at the Hunnery, let Madjik Boogera kick ten shades of shite out of Robbie Keane, and managed to ‘award’ the MM TWO soft penalties against Dundee United.
The two of them should get together and go on the circuit, in fact, maybe they could get Tam Cowan to join them, after all those three seem to be cut from the same cloth!
PS. Notice the stories coming out of Celtic Park have stopped…..now there’s a coincidence!
New Poll: Who Should Tony KEEP At Celtic Park?
Posted by: | CommentsShould They Stay or Should They Go?
Much has been said and written about who Tony Mowbray wants to bring in to Celtic in the January window, but who should he keep at Celtic Park?
YOU decide who you want to watch as Tony’s revolution begins to take shape….>>>>>>>>>>
Learn The Basics or Die!
Posted by: | CommentsPlayers Suffer From Professional Incompetence
Imagine if you were a joiner and you couldn’t hang a door?
Do you think you’d be in a job for long? Probably not.
So how is it some footballers who are at the top of their profession think they can get away with not learning the basics?
Control, touch, move. The basics that all football players regardless of age should learn.
Yet we have in Scotland players earning between £5-25,000 a week who can’t do the basics. And we all know who they are.
It’s criminal that professionals are being offered ludicrous sums of money and failing to produce even an acceptable standard of football.
I watched the Engurland and Belarus match on Wednesday night and let me tell you the Belarus team’s first touch and movement was excellent.
Fair enough, tactically they were rotten but they could play.
The English, managed by an Italian, had more guile about them. That’s how they won.
However, the visitors have something to build on. They know the basics.
Unfortunately, not too many teams in this neck of the woods can say the same.
Hoops Bare In Striking Dept.
Posted by: | CommentsNew Signing Injury Highlights Weakness
Just as Marc-Antoine Fortune was beginning to get to grips with Scottish football, he manages to pick up an injury that will have him sidelined for the next couple of months.
With £3.8m of Tony’s overall transfer budget invested in the big man, it’s a huge loss for the manager.
It also highlights our lack of depth in the striking department.
First choice striker Scott McDonald will now be partnered by the big Greek enigma, that is Georgios Samaras.
Now don’t get me wrong, I like big Sammy. He’s honest and like the start of last season can be unplayable at times, but he’s also frustrating with a first touch that couldn’t trap a bag of cement.
And if……
Sammy gets a knock we’re down to Kiwi Chris Killen to take the lead upfront.
Killen did have a good pre-season and Tony knows him better than most, but can you count on him to score the winner in a tight SPL game?
Naw.
So that then leaves us with pairing Skippy and Shaun Maloney? Even this early in the season the decision to loan out Cillian Sheridan might come back to haunt us. Like it did last season.
If You Want A Celtic Story….Just Ask Skippy!
Posted by: | CommentsMotormouth At It Again!
There was a time last season, just about when Aiden and Wee Ghord were having their bust-up, that every ounce of movement in the Celtic camp was reported in the media.
It didn’t matter to them if the story was true, so long as they had an inside track to some sort of scandal or disagreement.
Anyhow, eventually WGS got the group together to put a lid on it, and the rest of the season the squad put on a unified stance.
What did emerge from ‘molegate’ is this.
Time To Shut-Up Skippy!
Our wee Aussie mate Skippy hasn’t forgotten his Murderwell roots and has a knack of actively seeking publicity.
That’s OK when you play for a provincial club but when you move to Celtic, it’s time to shut-up.
So, it’s no surprise that I read today Skippy has been bleating away to the press once again on club and team matters.
This time he’s giving us a first hand account of a conversation he had with Naka. Considering Shunsuke has made little effort in his time here to learn English, that would have been quite an interesting chat!
The upshot of it all is Naka wants to return home. After being away from Japan for so long he’s homesick.
Who wouldn’t be?
As for Skippy, well the first thing Mogga or PTP should do is sit the Bhoy down and tell him to keep his mouth shut, or find another club.
