Gleeson gets so much shit, and he is limited, BUT he can pass a ball, he has good technique, and he can receive the ball in a tight spot and not panic.
There's a reason he played every single week under Rowett, and as I said at the time when people were screaming for Davis and Keef, if you don't have anyone who can pass the ball, you will never get the ball forward quickly and accurately to your attacking players.
In my opinion, the best combination we had when Rowett took over was Gleeson and Shinnie. Читать дальше...

Hall) and his wife Jackie (Jodie Balfour) accept an invitation to meet Queen Elizabeth II (Claire Foy).

Security, Asia
Some history that seems to get lost--until now.
Unfortunately for officials in Tokyo, the Japanese Navy had struck a powerful blow, but not a crippling one.
