On reflection, I'll admit the second part.

I think O'Shea totally and utterly mistook what Idah can bring to the team. I rated Idah's performance vs England as utterly terrible but a big mitigant is how we hit long high balls to him. That's not his game. And I do blame JOS for that. He was de facto in charge for that game and it was clearly a tactic. I'm beyond exasperated by the whole HH, JOS and Canham thing.

Jesus you see very stupid things over the years on here, but the suggestion that todays minnows are worse than the minnows of past years is really an incredible line of thinking. The mental gymnastics required to consistently find new ways to criticize some players would almost be impressive if they werent so mind-bendingly ludicrous.

Isn't it desperate form. Really awful form.
I don't think lousy describes it, I don't know what describes it.

& then to drag the back pass rule into it. Its like self inflicted minor brain injuries to even read it & give any time at all to such glass quarter full & leaking, needless absolute misery.

If I were to find myself seeking such lengths to draw any scrap of enjoyment out of a chosen pass time, interest or obsession & then burdening others with such, I think I would reevaluate if it is in fact right for me and perhaps I have made a mistake.

Mod warning: stay on topic and cut out the personal ****e. Accusing O'Shea of racism based on some tenuous speculation is bang out of order too.

Idah made it on as a sub as Celtic got thumped by Dortmund.

Just the one mention here:

The Celtic fans kept singing and their team kept trying to reward them. Hatate came closer from 22 yards and fellow sub Adam Idah could only head Valle’s cross into the arms of Gregor Kobel from close range.

Movement was good to be in the right place. The miss was poor. Awkward header into an open goal from a yard out. Only managed to head it directly back across the goal towards the keeper who was able to reach back and grab it on the line.

If the ball connects centimetre to the right on his head, the narrative is totally different. It’s Idah coming on with 15 mins left and scoring against Dortmund despite Celtic being outclassed.

Such is life
