James Tavernier went AWOL from media duties as his side suffered another disappointing Derby Defeat.
With Connor Goldson, Borna Barisic and John Lundstram managing to escape during the summer it leaves the former Wigan utility man to carry the torch from previous heavy defeats in the Derby fixture.
Wearing the Armband of Dignity you are expected to face upto the media either before or after, to rally the troops ahead of battle or rattle off the excuses after another defeat.
Vaclav Cerny gave a tortured preview of the match on Saturday, after the inevitable 3-0 defeat at Celtic Park Jack Butland reeled off the soothing deflection quotes with the £30m rated keeper badly at fault for Celtic’s second goal.
Tavpen has yet to score a goal this season, when Daizen Maeda opened the scoring after 17 minutes the Hall of Famer was lying on the deck despite having a six yard start of the Japanese forward.
During the summer the Daily Record jumped the gun by handing the captaincy to Butland, there was a rapid level of backtracking on that story but now into his tenth season of failure it seems that Tav has had enough of being the fall guy to front it up after defeat.
Fckn Jack Butlins mare like
You can set your watch by Celtic beating sevco now!
They tried to nullify Daizen by moving the penalty king away from right back
.. but it made no difference – and still… The undisputed world king of the press and the Glasgow Derby… DAIZEN MAEDA!!!!
£30 million for Butwipe?
Whoever is willing to pay that, I’ve got some magic beans he could buy.
Good old Tavpen. He got roasted like a glamour model at a Chelsea players night out – again. Long may it continue!
The sevco captain going AWOL for media duties speaks volumes:
there was zero fight in that team today.
And none of them had the wit to earn a red card for being ‘over committed’.
They couldn’t be bothered!
Bob, I think what really happened was that they were totally outclassed all over the park.
Jefte, dirty twat, was most certainly “bothered” and fully earned his yellow card from Beaton, who even explained it was his 4th foul challenge.
Overall Beaton was okay today, notwithstanding some early trickery.
Beaton has been beaten down and battened down his own hatches: bothered?
Of course he is, but that particular rat will ‘abandon ship’ as he sees the writing on the mast.
I LOVE being a TIM 🙂
We beat the auld 10p mix up team today that you would get from the van from all those years ago.
Nickel&dime to describe them now is actually being to generous to them.
Note how all Huns continuely say UM , , all the sevco mob are full of UMers.
Not Tavineer – Not Tavappear – But Tav-disappear !!!!!
