Celtic Diary Sunday February 19: SFA Negligence in Duty Of Care

There’s simply no other way to describe it.

A 2-0 win over Motherwell kept the dream of an unbeaten campaign alive, but there may yet be a price to pay as opponents now routinely look for varied and interesting ways to injure Celtic players.

Yesterday, it was Keiran tierney on the end of an assault;

Suffice to say if his leg had been firmly on the floor, then it wouldn’t be shaped the way it is this morning.

Ryan Bowen ran over to Tierney, and , as you can see, booted him. Nothing more, nothing less. Tierney collapsed, in agony, and the referee booked the Motherwell man, presumably because he didn’t have it in is power to sentence him to thirty days in the brig.

Not surprisingly, the BBC match report, written by Chris McLaughlin, failes to even mention the challenge. We’ll see if their flagship football programme later today discusses it in depth , as they usually do when referees get it wrong.

The SFA provide the referees, and the referees are answerable to them.

Before someone gets hurt, the club has to make a formal complaint.

Either that, or sign some bruiser with combat experience and no respect for human life and play him in midfield.

There’s an interesting correllation here.

The support are being provoked by the police who seem intent on building up a video library of possible suspects to raid when there’s nothing else to do at five in the morning-they were at it again yesterday-, and the players are being provoked by the opposition on the park who are being allowed to practice their bar room brawling for an hour and a half whilst being encouraged by the officials.

Paranoid ?

Or just pointing out the facts.

One fact worth noting is that Bowen was the only player booked yesterday.

 

Apart from that, although its a serious concern, the game went pretty much to plan. Moussa Dembele scored from a penalty to settle the nerves, which won him man of the match, and James Forrest finally scored a solo effort which should have won him the champagne, but didn’t.

Despite desrcibing it as a “spirited performance ” on the Motherwell website , there was little doubt that manager Mark McGhee set out not to lose seven more goals this week, and Celtic just wanted to win.

To use a military phrase again, it was a matter of getting in, getting the job done and getting out with minimum casualties.

Post match, Brendan Rodgers was a little more diplomatic than he should have been over the tackle.. claiming that the pitch may have been to blame, but he’ll look at it later. An early contender for knob of the week, but we’ll give him the benefit of the doubt for now.

Ah, the pitch. We may now be on the point of spotting what Brendan really wants. He’s hinted that the pitch may be to blame for the tackle on Tierney;

 “I thought it was a result of the pitch. It looked bad but I’ll give the benefit of the doubt to him.”

and went on to say he’s not happy with it, and wants a new one.

‘It is a concern for me. When we’re trying to entertain supporters and play a level of game, the pitch is vital. But we’ll get it organised, we’ll get it sorted I’m sure. 

‘Hopefully the pitch could go down in the summer. That’s what we should do. It’ s an old pitch here, so we need to modernise the field. We actually go away to some grounds and play better because the pitch is better. This here slows us down.’

Does he have anything in mind ? 

‘Yes. We need a Desso.’  

A what ?

Perfecting the natural sport pitch

DESSO GrassMaster®  is a hybrid grass system that has more than proven itself at Premier Leagueand NFL clubsmultifunctional stadiums and renowned events such as the Football World CupRugby World CupUEFA European Championships, etc. The playing quality is the favourite of top players around the world. Stadium managers choose the system that will give them the highest ROI for their stadium.

Discover the applications and read how football, rugby and American football clubs  have been successful with Desso hybrid grass fields.

What is DESSO GrassMaster® hybrid grass?

A DESSO GrassMaster ® hybrid grass pitch is a 100% natural sport grass pitch reinforced by millions of Desso artificial turf fibres.

  • with a patented technique, specialised installers inject 20 million Desso artificial turf fibres in a natural grass mat
  • the natural grass roots intertwine with the 20 cm deep injected artificial turf fibres
  • result:  a high-tech, stable pitch that can take 3 times as much playing than a normal, natural grass pitch

A DESSO GrassMaster®  pitch is much more than just a perfected sport grass pitch. Watch the video and see how a top field can take your sport venue to the highest level.

#dessograssmaster

 Oh, that Desso… 

Hybrid grass: the benefits

At the top levels, you need a grass mat that scores. In terms of both sport and business. An unplayable pitch means loss of revenue. To address that issue, Desso developed the DESSO GrassMaster® hybrid grass system: a reinforced natural grass pitch that can cope with both top-level games and events.

Playing quality of perfect natural grass

  • optimal ball roll, ball bounce, interaction between player and pitch, grip and slidings
  • uniform pitch quality, no loss of quality in goal areas and in the central playing axis

Stronger grass pitch for intensive use

  • natural grass roots deeper and is anchored more strongly thanks to the 20 cm deep injection of artificial grass
  • training, matches and more teams on the same hybrid grass mat

At least 3 x more playable

  • artificial turf fibres stabilise the grass mat => no sod sections that come loose, no sinkage, etc.
  • better drainage thanks to the sandy build-up and vertical artificial turf injection

Multifaceted sport infrastructure

  • faster recovery of reinforced natural grass mat can be covered for non-sport events
  • no extra maintenance in comparison with natural grass

Long-term returns for stadiums

Discover the applications of DESSO GrassMaster hybrid grass pitches

Anyone else got one ? 

Liverpool FC experienced a lot of problems with its pitch at Anfield Stadium. Jud Poynton, Stadium Manager at Liverpool FC: “We couldn’t get the pitch stable. […] The problem is that the stands have got bigger which reduces daylight and gives more shade in certain areas. It also reduces ventilation. These factors have contributed to the pitch’s struggle to grow grass and get an effective root zone.”

“When the pitch failed again in the winter of 1999-2000 I, together with the Chief Executive, decided we had to look at the Desso GrassMaster system”, says Poynton. The Anfield pitch is now considered one of the best pitches in the English Football League. Poynton: “Quite a few clubs have visited us to look at the pitch and were very enthusiastic.”  

That explains it then. At least the manager knows what he’s talking about. 

One can only wonder what the reaction to spending money will be when its put to the board…

Image result for man jumps out of window gif

He was pleased with the way the game went though, assassination attempts apart..

 “The players were technically very good on a very, very difficult surface.

“Moussa gets the penalty, uses his body really well, draws in the foul. The second one’s a great bit of play. I thought [Forrest] was outstanding. He gets a really good second goal.

“We were much better second half, used the sides better. [We] maybe could’ve scored two or three more goals.

“In the main, very pleased. Another clean sheet. Defensively we were strong. Another good victory.”

 

Another interesting stat from the game is that both sides committed nine fouls.

That, in itself is a damning statistic for the referee.

 

Wim Jansen, the forgotten man of Celtic management was at the game yesterday.

He deserves thanks for killing the atmosphere at this particular gentlemans evening…

What is it about that lot ? Greatest team, greatest pub, greatest whatever…anyway, that party would have been laugh a minute, with the flute band still wanting paid and the wives cowering in the cellar.

Wim Jansen, who also knew that an unhappy Henrik Larsson was available for next to nothing, changed the club on the pitch that year. He gave us back our pride, and for that he must be lauded.

There’s your man to unveil the tenth flag right there.

Image result for wim jansen celtic

Jansen only did one season at Celtic, and if there’s a story to be told, then this picture should accompany it..

Image result for wim jansen celtic

 

Jock Brown to the forefront, as he was pretty much whenever he could be in those days… Wim Jansen at the back…

 

Meanwhile, Hayden Atkins ( I don’t know either ) has given us the shock news that Gary Monk, currently Leeds boss, could be the surprise boss of “rangers ” next season, and he’s given us his opinion on  why it could happen..

 

As aforementioned, Rangers are expected to get Champions League football in the very near future and this could prove extremely tempting.

Despite struggling to keep pace with Celtic for the majority of the league campaign, Champions League football certainly isn’t out of the offing and a place in the Europa League is also up for grabs.

 Are Leeds set for Europe anytime soon? Probably not. 

Despite struggling to really challenge for the SPFL title this season, there’s no doubt that in a couple of years time, Rangers are going to be one of the kingpins in Scotland once again.

The rivalry between them and Celtic is truly needed for Scottish football to get the airtime and when Gers get that financial investment again, there’s little doubt they’re going to be up there once again.

They need an ambitious, passionate young manager who is going to take them forward again and Garry Monk could very much be that man.

Thats brilliant. Even Chris Jack, Matt Lindsay and James Traynor will bow at the altar of the worlds most incisive sports writer.

Thats worth an OBE, an MBE and a free shot at the goat

by anyone’s standards.

An average performance on the whole but Forrest was immense and certainly should have got the champagne (isn’t Mousa teetotal anyway?). Mousa had some nice touches but was not clinical. Pity to see Henderson didn’t really take the opportunity to impress. Some slackness at the back at times but they all did their job satisfactorily.

That tackle was a deliberate attempt to take young KT out of the game for GOOD. Straight red and a 3 game ban should be minimum. The sooner ‘the Zombies in the black’ are made to register their affiliation with secretive societies and religious Zealot extremist communities, we will never have a ‘clean’ game. THEY might call it their ‘Heritage’ but that means hew-haw and has no place on a Sporting football Field. HH

Again shocked at the moronic referees, or should that be huns?
Some of the tackling in recent games has bordered on the suicidal, so far we have been lucky. The club should take a stand or someone will have a leg broken
Game was nothing great but Motherwell added to that by their crap tactics.

Ralph,

I am no gardening expert – I keep telling the good missus she is much, much better in the long grass – but even on CTV it is obvious Celtic Park playing surface does not compare to the pre-Commonwealth Games time. Since the club employed expert groundsmen the pitch still looked pretty immaculate even at this time of year with a good covering of grass even around the goal-mouths. Now, TV clearly shows the grass is sparse in areas and there are bare pockets in the goal area. I have always maintained the re-turfing after the games – and they had two goes – was of a very poor standard compared to previously. I am right behind Brendan’s case and have believed that the priority at any club, after fans’ comfort and safety, of course, should be the best possible surface. At some clubs, the past has shown this was given little, if any, consideration and that is why we played games in mud baths and lakes over the years. The one in Gkasgow’s southern hemisphere was a case in point, even after Souness narrowed it.

Just about to watch yesterday’s match on my favourite channel and listen to my favourite commentators. Time to compare their commentary yesterday with what actually takes place on the park. Mind you, I should not complain. After all, I am getting two games for the price of one. If only, we would be 54 points head and, have the treble and be playing the under 12s against the rest while the 1st team enjoy some time off among the GB.

I will do the caption now as I am not sure I will get back on as I can hear a growl in the background asking when I am making dinner.

Caption: “Somebody thought he was Mark Warburton and he said that made him feel a bigger loser and more right wing than being in ukip” – Nae capitals going in there either, Ralph!

The win yesterday, like all wins, is significant.
To create an all-time record? Well that would be significant too. But it’s not the point. Our players are being fucking assaulted, attacked; nothing has changed for decades but the attack on Kieran Tierney yesterday is bringing things to a head.
Peter T.(fucking) Lawwell will do nothing once again but why?
He’s part of the underlying problem, that’s why.
Tory bastards, like Lawwell, not football men like the late Turnbull Hutton fromn Raith; aye, therein lies the root of all evil too. MAMMON. Heated Driveways whilst ETim guys show the Socialist, Walfrid spirit by accompanying homeless people for a night. Well done Bhoys.
Fuck off, Lawwell.

Cop also for this and feedback (confirming you’ve contacted the BBC) will be welcome and educating as to what we do next.
I’ve photographed a BBC statement that NEEDS to be challenged and corrected.
It’s from Ceefax (today) at around 17.45 on Sunday 19th February 2017.
The content is this:
Under the heading “Dundee 2–1 Rangers” (they missed the HaHaHa bit)

The BBC then proclaims:
“Mark O’ Hara….grabbed….goals… as Dundee earned
their first home win over Rangers since 1992.
A complete fucking lie (although not a singular BBC lie in this disgrace)
by a broadcaster that we’re, more-or-less, forced to pay for.
THIS IS THE ACHILLES HEEL (IN SMSM) WE’VE NEEDED.
Well, let me tell you this (Bhoy), the BBC is fucking answerable whilst other media may be not.
This site (ETims) has a huge potential existence, force, power and for the pursuit of Truth.

Lawwell’s perennial silence can only encourage what we’ve seen recently; even more assaults on our players, almost every game. As CEO and with SFA/SPFL involvement he is the one best placed at Celtic to back our club, and do it publicly. We deserve nothing less, but Lawwell’s proven disrespect towards our fans and his self-centred approach to life makes him an incredibly, imperfect fit for any role at Paradise.
I note in another post you effectively agreed that it’s time the board stood up for the club. Lawwell IS the board; so, in fact we’re actually in agreement here, we just express things differently.

I don’t see why you want to play the nut jobs. I had a teacher at school who sat on the bench for Scotland for over 40 games and during that time the national rugby team experienced the least amount of injuries in modern rugby. You see he was known for being possessed on the field and even bit another players eat off in a scrum. The opposition were so frightened this guy would play, they seldom went out of their way to hurt our players.

Uralius,
Rugby is not a serious sport and should be treated with an arrogant smirk when it is mentioned in public.

Maryhill,
It’s always been a long held opinion of mine,that Rugby is for those individuals who were unable to trap a football with their feet, therefore they took a step backwards and played rugby.
A ‘ sport ‘ where you can handle the ball, not only that but you can run with the ball in your hands too? Wtf?
Apparently you must shoot OVER the bar….and there’s no nets in the goal either?
Why do people go and watch this shite?

Looks like sevco are being found out and looks like teams are being allowed to kick our players all over the place with virtual impunity. I do think that Brendan needs to speak up about it and get backed by the Celtic Board. The real problem is pisspoor refereeing. The refs in Scotland are simply terrible, poorly trained with the almost regular really poor performances. Having the head of refs being the father of one of the worst refs seems like a conflict of interest to me. Added to that is there are no delaration like in England of membership of certain groups or who the referee actually supports. The SFA can fix this very easily and it would be very good governance. Celtic Board time to have a word with SFA about the on field violence or the players will need to tell the opposition get ready for a battle if you start that kind of pish. I played rugby and if we had any dick head guy or several that were throwing it about and the ref was doing nothing our captain would tell the ref it happens again we defend ourselves. Usuallly worked

Jack Dee is much funnier in his new role as Graeme Murty…

(Ever seen the two of them in the same dugout?)

The manager has responsibility for ALL fitba. matters, its up to Brendan to speak up about the shocking assaults on our players. I want to see OUR players take that responsibility by handing it back in spades, that is what I was taught, take it and dish it back.
Brown , Biton, et all stick up for your team mates, that will soon stop it.

You know something Bhoys, we have a lot to thank Craig Whyte for.
These past five years are among the most happy of my life, i love their pain, i feel and love their frustration…..but most of all, i love the fact NOT ONE of their Establishment friends helped them in their deepest, darkest moments….NO ONE cared enough to help….
And that my friends, must and should hurt them more than anything!

They fucking died on our watch, they are gone, dead, buried and the wake has passed.

Read that again lurking Huns…NO ONE GAVE A FUCK ABOUT YOU OR YOUR SHIT, SECTARIAN CLUB!

FUCK THE LOT OF YE!

No one helped them!
The SFA did e wry thing to stop the relegation
The media have blatantly lied since their death in 2012, look at the ‘ magic hat incident’
The judiciary covered for them, not removing their stolen trophies
The blatant bias towards them by our refereeing Mafia continues
The polis let them away with murder, no action taken against their friendly ditties.
They should be deid, but they continue to linger on, like a bad smell in the sewer
Every other decent football supporter despises the knuckledraggers.
Glasgow is Green and White
