The Offical Glasgow Celtic thread

[lynchbhoy]

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' ?

[Clown]

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]

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]

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]

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.

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]

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!

Can you imagine how sh*t physical shape McGinn & McCourt would be arriving at Parkhead?  Even in the premiership WGS was considered one of the hardest managers re physical-conditioning.   I'm no expert but am told that the effort required to get from 95% fit to 100% fit in top flight football is super-human.

You going to start supporting the hoops nifan?

[nifan]

I dont think ill "support" them - i still hope every year for a non old firm winner, usually hibs lately cos of NI players, but motherwell now for craigan.
Certainly when the boys are in the team ill have a soft spot for them - ive been a fan of McCourt from our youth teams when he was there.

Anyone see the Irish match last nigh?
I only caught the last 25 mins, McGeady looked very steady and a real team player with his tackling, passing , beng an outlet,not giving the ball away cheaply and trying to create (but not force it)
but after the game Giles and Dunphy were in raptures about him.
Was he that good beforehand.
From what I saw McGeady showed the 'other' side of his talent, but still needs to bring this and his wing raiding, attack piercing ability into his overall game and he will be an absolute Gem.

Hasnt been doing it for Celtic as much this season due to small injuries and then the fall outs with manager etc.

Still a lot to come from him I hope, he has the talent, just needs to put it all together , then consistently.

Aidaniho had a great game last night, did one fantastic run in the second half and made the keeper pull off a great save (alá Jinky) - agree he still has loads to improve, but that just shows what an absolutely outstanding talent the wee man is.

[the colonel]

mcgeady was by far the best man on the pitch, was really impressive and comes at a good time for him.

anyone got a spare ticket for sunday?

[nifan]

What position has McCourt played for celtic?
Last night he came on and was central (Johnson was kept right), and sitting in quite a defensive position.

Was a bit annoyed about the defensive position, he never got a chance to run at people which I was hoping would occur.

[T Fearon]

If Mc Geady could only deliver more telling crosses he would be up there with Ronaldo. Still he was brilliant last night, maybe big Artur should give him a cuff or two more often!
