You’re as tight as a hunter’s trap,

Hidden well, what are you concealing?

Poker face, carved in stone

Amongst friends, but all alone

Why do you hide?

Well, it looks like Jeremie Frimpong’s, much questioned of late, defensive positioning may have been perfect on Sunday. Indeed, it may well have been advantageous when it comes to his long-term availability to Celtic and avoidance of a lengthy period on the sidelines.

Devante Cole’s second half assault – and that is what it was – on our young full back was mistimed at best and with unreasonable force at worst. Whether it was malicious only he can know but it’s height and ferocity smacked of frustration, even a loss of control, that bubbled over as a red mist descended. If it was either of those things’ compliance officer Clare Whyte’s silence, some three days after the offence, is now deafening.

The on-field punishment handed out by Andrew Dallas was clearly an insufficient retribution punishment in comparison to the offence and should now be addressed and rectified by those of a higher paygrade. Both the player and the on-field authority should have questions asked as to their actions on Sunday.

The news that Jeremie Frimpong has avoided serious injury had more to do with the fortunate positioning of his body rather than any lack of force or malice in the ‘tackle’ and although Celtic, Frimpong and the support can breathe a sigh of relief, it doesn’t take away from the fact that the sitting on hands from the compliance officer is both concerning and part of a re-occurring pattern.

It is after all only been a matter of days since an attempted fore-arm smash on Albian Ajeti by Aberdeen’s Lewis Ferguson, another challenge borne of frustration that also went without a suitable level of punishment. While Kris Ajer and Odsonne Edouard can also point to on field justice not matching the punishment meted out to our players.

All those instances have been met with inaction, indeed silence entirely, by the compliance officer. Perhaps its best we don’t hold our breath on this one, else we may do ourselves a mischief.

The opening lyrics to this article were penned by James front man Tim Booth, and although they are relevant to the deafening silence emanating from Hampden, they also have relevance to a Celtic board who have also exhibited a stoney silence, publicly at least, on this matter and far too many before. If Celtic are working in the background, questioning the health and safety standards are being upheld with regard to their employees, that is good. A little communication with the support, yes support not customers, would also be welcome.

In the world of politics there appear to be two current schools of thought when it comes to communication with the masses. Make incredulous statements without fact, then batten down the hatches when it comes to debating the inevitable questioning, or ignore everything entirely and make no public comment whatsoever. The argument that it’s best to say nothing out loud seems to be the tactical preference of the Celtic board on far too many issues, this is not a stand-alone incident.

Celtic fans invest a great deal in their football club, not just financially –though the season ticket sales and merchandise uptake this year was much needed for the bean counters at Celtic Park, but also emotionally. We are deeply invested in that regard. We therefore want to know that those in charge have our backs and that of our club. Celtic fans ask little in return bar a suitably qualified team on the park and some transparency as to how the current guardians look after our own.

A series of assaults without punishment can impact on Neil Lennon’s ability to put a team on the park and have a detrimental effect on our attempts to win a tenth consecutive title. Tim Booth’s writing had some relevance there too.

‘Say something, say something, anything

Your silence is deafening

Pay me in kind’

We hope for some sort of justice from Clare Whyte at the SFA, thought we expect just that- SFA. If we really want to put referees and governing bodies on notice, hushed conversations behind the scenes won’t suffice. It needs to be public, consistent and vocal. Turning the other cheek is rarely a good defence.

Lady GaGa has never been shy about her sexuality but it seems that in the past she wasn't as keen to let on to her lovers that she was bisexual. Now considered a gay icon, Gaga attributes much of her fame, especially in the early stages, to the LGBT community and campaigns for gay rights across the world.


Lady Gaga Has Revealed The Inspiration For Her 'Poker Face' Hit.

The singer performed at an exclusive gig in December at London's Mayfair's private member's club, hosted by Belvedere vodka. In front of a star-studded audience, which included singer Adele, Gaga treated her fans to a little intimacy.

Gaga arrived on stage an hour late through a cloud of smoke wearing a bouffant Marie Antoinette wig, glitzy leotard and sparkly boots. She joked: 'I just wish I always had fog when I walked in anywhere. I just want it to come right out of my purse!'

During a slowed down lounge session of her No.1 hit 'Poker Face,' she paused to regale the crowd with the story of how the song came to be. 'You know his song is actually about when I was making love to this guy that I was dating a long time ago,' she said, adding 'I was thinking about chicks every time we had sex' to a low level rumble of chortling.


Gaga's Hit Was Inspired By Not Being Able To Let On That She Thought About Women During Sex.

'And I just didn't want him to figure it out because I felt so bad,' she added in a sheepish voice. 'But I don't anymore because I wrote a song about it,' she said, causing wave of laughter throughout the audience.

In an interview with Rolling Stone, the 27 year-old revealed how her boyfriends tend to react to her bisexuality and open mind towards sexual exploration. 'The fact that I'm into women, they're all intimidated by it. It makes them uncomfortable. They're like, 'I don't need to have a threesome. I'm happy with just you',' she explained.


Gaga's Emotions & Personal History Influence Her Music.

Rather than performing run-of-the-mill, manufactured pop songs as many other stars do, Gaga's personal meaning behind each of her songs and influencing factors for her albums endear her fans and cut through the pervading weirdness of her stage persona. More, please!
