The Death Of Arfur Boruc, Another Nail In Strachans Coffin and The Most Expensive Friendly EVER!!!!

Easter Road. It has seen many a Goalie burn his gloves in it's centre circle. Any stadium that holds Alan Rough as some kind off Legend must have seen some howlers over the years. Maybe, none as great as Arfur Boruc's yesterday, when he let a 45 yard 'Squiggler'- John Rankins word for his fluke shot, proving that nevermind being a crap footballer he is crap at making up words as well- trundle into the back of the onion bag. 

Celtic's two defeats, domestically, have involved an Arfur Boruc gaff. This season has seen the Holy Goalie perform a great impression of The Soup Dragon feeding The Clangers. He was once worth his weight in gold, which works oot at around $10,530.80, but is now worth his weight in Freddy Mac shares, which works oot aboot $13.02. That is based on his pre-season fighting weight.

Rumours that Celtic 'invented' an injury and sent Arfur to Poland to sort himself oot and to check "Where's His Head Was At" mean, if true, that Celtic have went oot on a limb and have ended up looking like Heather Mills. 

Stick or twist? Is Mark Brown giving 110% at Bobby Lennoxtoon today, looking towards a start against Hearts Of Lithuania on Saturday? There in is the problem. We have no replacement for The Holy Goalie, no other goalie on oor books that is his equal. Unlike the days of Hedman and Douglas when both were as bad as each other.

"We all have to take responsibility - he got a free shot. We'll get on with it and he'll get on with it. We are glad he is our keeper." said Gary Calderbuer, still hanging oot to dry, after the defeat against The Feeder Club. LoTW is glad he is oor goalie as well, but on day's like Sunday it's difficult to protect him from the on-coming bandwagon that is trying to chase him from oor club.

Lazy Sunday Afternoon. 

It was a day for firsts. First time this season we have failed to score a goal, domestically. First time this season The Feeder Club have got a clean sheet. First Feeder Club win, at home, in 3 months. First time in 8 years we have failed to score against The Feeder Club. Put that in a pot and mix it all together and you get a 2-0 defeat. The two goals are here.

Oor, under pressure manager, reflecting on oor first away defeat in 8 months and oor first defeat in 12 games said: "We had loads of chances to finish them off, we wanted to walk the ball into the back of the net and I felt comfortable. It’s not often you feel comfortable when you come here, I’ve said that before."

The stats of only 2 shots on and 6 off target, 1 less the total of The Feeder Club, and 56% possession show where oor problem lay and that 'loads of chances' is as mythical as bloke in a bright red suit, delivering bikes doon chimneys. We had 12 corners right enough, all of them went direct to Rob Jones, who was not frightening Doncaster Rovers so long ago. 

"It's tough to get beat at any time but there are a lot of players in my dressing room who must be very proud of the way they tried to make sure it didn't happen. A lot of them had a right good go at it." said WGS, praising the effort put in by the players but ignoring the lack of quality that comes wie Andy Hinkel being yer most creative player.

Still, The Feeder Club lined up in the mould of their manager, ugly. They played 6 defenders in their line up. Oor manager, commenting on The Feeder Clubs tactics: "If you mean getting behind the ball and creating very little chances and hoping they might get a speculative goal like that, then credit to them." he said somewhat missing the point that The Feeder Club managed 6 shots on target playing wie 6 defenders.

The Most Expensive Friendly In Europe The Week.

The only thing to play for this week against Villarreal is ensuring that we don't end up wie oor worst ever points total in The Big Cup. A win means we equal oor 2004/05 total of 5, a draw and we equal The Huns worst ever total and a defeat means we are the worst ever Scottish team to play in The Big Cup. Also, a victory means that we keep the record of winning at a least 1 game in everytime we have played in The Big Cup.

Enough to make you fork oot travelling and ticket expenses and go to Glesga on a cauld Wednesday night? For thousands it won't be and also the managers have added to 'The Glamour Friendly' atmosphere.

“Players who are not used to appear regularly will have the chance to show themselves in Glasgow.” pointed oot Manuel Pellegrini, Villarreal heid honcho and clipboard fiddler.

"Some of the players might need this one. Aiden and Sami might need games.I need to get the men who perhaps have not had many games, or who have maybe not been at the top of their form, playing so that they can find that best form."  said WGS, maybe buying into the thinking that playing Aiden McGeady and Georgios Samaras, instead of lesser players, actually makes your starting 11 stronger.

"We just need to get something to feel good about ourselves." added WGS. Never a truer word said but a victory in a meaningless game, after a poor Big Cup, would seem somewhat hollow unless Cillian Sheridan scores a hat-trick and they were all set up by Koki Mizuno.

At least we have a game this week to keep us amused like bored goldfish. The Hail Hails are open for you to open yer heart, on the fear, that we are now seeing the Polish Rab Douglas. You don't have to be logged in to Hail Hail.
