QuoteGlad to hear it, hope he does well as he def has the talent, just doubts over fitness and application.

very true, i was hopeful the move to celtic would motivate him.
Anyone who watches the reserves know if he is upping the fitness? Has he been lasting full games?

Main Street · February 09, 2009, 12:26:50 PM

Was he not fit enough to last a LOI game?

Has a reputation for not being a 90 minute man, like most Derrymen he has touble lasting the pace

Scottish Cup sixth round draw:
Motherwell or St Mirren v Celtic
Airdrie Utd or Dunfermline Athletic v Aberdeen or East Fife
Inverness CT v Falkirk
Forfar Athletic or Rangers v Hamilton Accies

What are the odds that Celtic and Rangers (should they proceed) are kept apart again (and again and again) in the semi final draw?

Bloody tough draw for The Celts (considering whose left!) away from home as well.

Disappointed to hear about the McGeady - Borac bust up in training, need the team all pulling in hte same direction just before a match against the Forces of Darkness! At least Strachan managed to deal with it properly this time!

Rumours emanating from several celtic fans forums today is that a story will break in the weekends press that Artur Boruc has been involved in match fixing/ gambling for the Polish Mafia.

Just in time for Sundays old firm game of course!

theres always a few sblime stories about Celtic players and their private lives in the week before a game v the huns.

Obv targetting Boruc on two fronts - problems with team mates and now gambling /match fixing.

McGeady also had to be targeted also.
I'm sure there will be more in the next couple of days!

Isn't that a bit of a mismatch? baby faced, pint sized McGeady versus The Giant Boruc, with hands wider than a frying pan.

It's a bit like that rugby player, Stringer, when he decides to have a go at some 2m tall forward.

it didnt stop the 'karate kid' ?

mcgeady called him a fat p***k in training boruc tried to hit him but missed
then launched an attack on him in teh dressing rooms after

allegedly!

lynchbhoy · February 11, 2009, 05:37:37 PM

must see if I can find out if there are any further reports from inside as to what went on recently.
Unlike the MON days where you couldnt get feck all info out of the players, there seems to be no end of leaks out to fans from within the dressing room.

Again this could be all the pre huns game tactics fromthe hun hack media as per usual !

the colonel · February 11, 2009, 05:40:43 PM

mcdonald went all the way to oz for the game v japan and didnt even get off the bench!
naka played the whole game

why can't kenny miller meet up with the scotland squad for a get together yet played with the rangers reserves today? drives me mad

Tommy Tight Lips · February 11, 2009, 06:24:52 PM

heard from a very reliable source yesterday that mccourt is really impressing at the minute at parkhead,showing up well in training,hopefully he gets more gametime asap,i feel he could be a better option than mizuno if given the chance and stays fit.apparently mcginn hasnt trained with the first team squad yet.

disappointing, but McCourt has had to wait to get to the position where (hopefully) he will get some game time.

Rav67 · February 11, 2009, 07:28:07 PM

Got a ticket for the game on Sunday, anyone else going?

As for McGinn, they must be running them into the ground before letting them train with the first team as this appears to be what they've done with McCourt who apparently was doing some amount of boking in his first few training session!
