Alexandro Bernabei

Boyata was chasing the team bus leaving the Dakota down the motorway clutching his Xbox having slept in last time Rodgers was here and all Rodgers did after that was big him up. Plenty goes on worse at the club than this.

Don't really have an issue with Rodgers in private having a dig at Bernabei but doing it in public is just snide.

 

Alexandro Bernabei fell foul of the boss when he missed a team meeting recently and was subsequently left of the matchday squad which beat Ross County last weekend.

But he was back among the substitutes today and Rodgers was able to make light of the situation




His alarm is working now,” he smiled. “He has been brilliant in pre-season in terms of mentality and attitude and I felt for him.



The very morning of the first game of the season whatever happened the alarm did not go off. I don't have time to wait. If you start late in the game and you are not quite ready then the game could be dead.



It's gone. We draw a line under it. He's a good guy. His professionalism is fantastic and there is no worry. We all make mistakes but you learn from them and you'll be better for it.”

 

Got off lightly


Celtic defender Alexandro Bernabei has been fined £1,875 after pleading guilty to drink driving. The 22-year-old left-back was more than twice over the limit in Glasgow city centre on August 15 last year. Bernabei, of the city’s Kelvinside, was seen driving a friend’s Mercedes A200 on Bath Street around 2am. The Argentinian was later found to have 48 micrograms of alcohol in 100 millilitres of breath when the limit is 22 micrograms. Bernabei appeared in the dock at Glasgow Sheriff Court where he admitted the drink driving charge. A not guilty was accepted by the Crown for a separate charge of behaving in a threatening or abusive manner at Lola’s nightclub also on Bath Street. That charge alleged that while acting in an aggressive manner, Bernabei “shouted and repeatedly refused to leave the premises despite being requested to do so.”The court heard that a door steward saw Bernabei in the driver’s seat of the car in the early hours of the morning. Prosecutor Gail Campbell stated that the incident was captured on CCTV which was not played to the court. She said: “He drove the car forward and it would appear to be a short distance around the corner before reversing back. “He was seen to stop in front of the witness and he subsequently exited the vehicle.” The police were then contacted for “a matter that is no longer before the court.”Officers spoke to Bernabei who believed that he was under the influence of alcohol. He provided a roadside sample before he was arrested and ordered to give further specimens of breath. Bernabei provided the 48 micrograms reading on a second specimen. Calum Ross, defending, told the court that the incident was out of character.The lawyer added: “He recognises that he let himself down as he had only been in the country for six weeks. “Mr Bernabei was in the company of a fellow countryman and he foolishly agreed to his suggestion to go to these premises. The vehicle belonged to the other man. “He was a young man from a different continent and he feels as if he has blotted his copybook when his intention was to do everything right. “Mr Bernabei normally behaves in a model and professional way. “His financial circumstances state with his employment he earns approximately £20,000 per month.” Sheriff Michael Hanlon also disqualified Bernabei from driving for 12 months. This may be reduced by three months if Bernabei takes part in a drink driving rehabilitation course. Bernabei was on the bench yesterday as Celtic beat Aberdeen 3-1 at Pittodrie.

 

Sell him.

 

Hope he learns his lesson.

 

Interesting he's only on 5k per week.

 

Sounds like Rodgers is actually impressed with the boys attitude generally, fair *. Would imagine a lot of you will be disappointed when he's still here after the window shuts.

 

No, he comes out with £20k a month so he's probably on closer to £10k with tax.

 

I read it as saying he earns £20k a month.

 

Take home thst ain't bad for a squad player. Tbh, what's he e en done in a Celtic jersey. Nothing so them wages I'd say are fair enough for him.

 

Wished I made it as a * footballer with a quality agent

 

I do think we need a new LB but that seems unlikely to happen. As it stands I think Bernie has something to offer. BR is all about developing players and we have to trust him when he can see something in a player.

Sure Bernie defensively is extremely weak but there's no doubt his offensive game is far better than taylor and his style is more suited to BR tactics. He's young and if he can start developing his weaknesses in training we may just have a player here.

 

Rodgers definitely giving him a lifeline but whether he gets a chance or not will all depend on if we get another left back in. Still think he’s a winger or left wing back.

 

* idiot got off lightly, hopefully he learns from it.
Maybe a few videos of the remnants of cars that have been in accidents may make the point.

 

Hope he gets a move

 

Only one with urgency late on. Didn't always come off, but was a constant runner and was positive in his passing.

 

One of the worst football players I've seen in my life.

 

He's * garbage... should be nowhere near our team.

 

Chase this wee *

 

* it. I prefer him to Taylor in this setup and that's not a positive.
