I don’t know what was said to Neil Lennon after the victory over Dunfermline last week but if it caused him to react I can imagine the tone. The few visits I made to the South Stand during Gordon Strachan’s tenure left an indelible image of life as a Celtic manager.
Whatever Kirk Broadfoot did or did not say to Rangers fans towards the end of their defeat at Kilmarnock yesterday, does anyone seriously think it contained more invective than has been hurled at the player for most of his career?
The self-righteous indignation some football fans exhibit when an employee earning [insert a completely irrelevant figure here]exhibits intolerance to what would get you barred for life from any other workplace in the country is the epitome of hypocrisy.
Garry Kenneth, who is likely to face Celtic at Tannadice on Sunday, today told the world he will not be renewing his contract when it expires at the end of the season, saying, “Dundee United are a feeder club, it has always been like that.” Ouch. Whatever Kenneth thinks of United he should at least respect their fans emotional investment in the club to be a whole lot more careful with his words. Should make for a tense afternoon in the United defence, especially if we can put the big guy under some pressure.
Big game on Wednesday. A win would fire enormous impetus into our season. Whatever the outcome, the game will provide Neil Lennon with a guide on how to play in the hugely important month ahead.

Listening back to Snyde. The huns on so far appear to have given up the ghost.
They’re worried.

He said that there are one or two minor details that need to be ironed out first.
Good night all..
When our Captain Scott Brown lifts the SPL trophy in May, I’ll be doing the Broonie!

that was months ago
i don`t trust him nor the way the situation is developing
i may be wrong
Neil cana
I take it they get into the midden for free??
To Scott Brown or to not Scott Brown?. I prefer James Forrest myself. Mind you if tottingham come in with a mega bid in January that woud pay the wages of a few more right backs who we seem fond of at the mo. It’s like the more magazine position of the fortnight.
I’d prefer we punted Scott, made Charlie Mulgrew Captain and signed a centre half to play alongside him.
How close are Kelvin Wilson and Izaguire to a return?

Just in case you are still awake! Athletico would need to be a last minute thing. If not I was going to talk to you about the Hearts game. Having been at that match back in 1974 it would be fantastic if we could beat them.
Vmhan
We all will. But he wont be!!!
Well then Broonie should have signed a new contract by then…
Danny Boyle, Blaser Brown and Charlie Donnelly and Neil Lennon
Fair play to him for getting a good deal, and it was the club who decided to spend 4.4 milion for him, I was exicted when he signed, I thought he would be a super player for us, and on manys an ocassion he has.
Over the 4 years he has been at the club, he has cost the club 40k a week, and if you think he has been worth that fair enough, I don’t, I have as much a right to voice my opinion as you have.
I haven’t slagged the bhoy off, in fact I never slag off any of the players, if the truth be known, which I think is obvious, it’s the flawed asset management I am having a dig at, not the player.
Cant see Gordon playing again for Sunderland even when he is fit, as Hearts are due a big payment linked to appearances.The mini huns said this last week when they couldnt pay the wages.Whatever happened to the Lee Wallace money?
Back.

We canny punt him. He’s off for nowt!!! P L to blame should have tied him up in a contract ages ago.
Lennon and Lawell will fall out if Brown leaves
That could be a good thing if we won the league
BelfastCityCelt, Granted Scott Brown did say that but the indications are he will be away in January or the Summer.
I see someone from stv has us back in for Diawara. I think they read this site.

You could wee be right all the same.
Celtic have been more than good to him.If he does decide to sign a pre-contract with another club in January,then he should never again be allowed to wear the green and white.
wee = well.
Kayal is the spiritual captain of Celtic

Brown V Robson? Barry by a mile. More skilful more dependable scores more goals too. And didnt cost 4mill.
—————————————————————
Can’t agree mate, if SB leaves he will go to a PL team, BR’s level is the Championship. Loved the guy when he was here and did his bit in ’08 but we are almost in ’12.
Now if BR had a right foot……..
ESTADIO- Hope your stay in hospital is a short one-get well soon.
PF Ayr – A tad harsh on SB,I agree he is never a central midfielder,but 4 weeks ago we missed his energy as the midfield looked stale.Now with
the progress of Our Vic and the return too form of Kayal he will need to bide his time,even more so if we get a fit left back which would free up JL
for midfield as well. Overall the return for the money spent on wages & transfer fee will always come into the argument about how effective SB
has been for us which backs your opinion,maybe I just find it hard to slag a Celtic captain.HH.
reilly1926,
I think lashing out is the next stage of their recovery, their club is dying.
A lot of shocking truths are being exposed, even the most insulated are asking the right questions :o)
Hope Neil goes for the tertz G K in January.

I think the team is good enough nick,with or without Scott Brown.
If he doesn’t want to sign a new deal,then the club just has to cut it’s loses.
Worst case scenario is it frees up 25 grand a week in wages.
Someone asked me.. what wid Ma Valuation of Izzy ,be.
Well.. let me say, this…
Ah wid tak wit Ah could Get fur him..
It wid be good money, Ah suppose ,at this Time.
Fur his current Rep is Sky High.
And.. we should cash in oan that.
He is noo .. surplus tae Requirements…
We hiv a Guid Replacement fur him. in Young Blackman.
and…
Joe Ledley,is a Far Mair Profitable Player,fur us at Left Back…than he wiz.. or wull be.
Again..
In Ma Opinion.

Estadio is looking forward to his bed bath tomorrow morning. He’s also hoping feeling returns to all his limbs (cough, splutter) in time for it. ;o)
Get well soon buddy.

We can afford to let our captain leave in the knowledge we have plenty of top quality alternatives ready to step in.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….
Short memories guys, we dropped most of the points with Broony out of the team this season,better with him in the team than not.
i see lenny was down watching charlton v huddersfield .the sky man said he was looking at jordan rhodes. well i would forget about him,done nothing all night the other big striker the beast they call him ,and twice his age was more affective.
Why are former Celtic players missing out on BBC Radio Scotland jobs?
timbhoy2 – i agree. i wouldnt take jordan roads either. dont like the name, he sounds a bit hunnish. we should be looking for celtic men to get into that side that means there is no way we would surrender the league again

Re Scott Brown.
SB has cost us 8.2 million with transfer fee and 18k a week wages, might be less, might be more, whatever it is, he sure hasn’t been worth 40k approx a week imo, others may disagree.
Asset management for the beginer……PL has made a major baws up of the whole affair.
Calm down TET and do the maths!
If we had not signed him his £4.2M fee would have been spent on someone else (or 2 or 3) + wages. It was in the budget to be spent at that moment in time – the asset management now is: how much can we hope to recoup?
We could argue that we might have spent the same sum of money on 2 players (example: similar to Loovens and Hoojiveld) and could now be arguing about what we would be likely to get trying to engineer – the 2 sales to shift that kind of player as their contracts ran out? IMO – a more difficult task.
His wages have been factored into subsequent annual budgets (since we signed him) – recouping his purchase price (or best part off) will be the key to assest management.
If he doesn’t resign and we sell him – we could be anything up to £3M down on the deal.
If and its a big if we resign him and punt him in the summer – then we stand a chance of recouping most of our outlay. His wages (though expensive) would have been spent on others – question is: might they have brought us any greater success?
Who knows? For all his faults – Brown is a sellable asset. Our major problem is the extensive catalogue of loan players we have scattered the length and breadth of Europe – now by my reckoning they are costing us a damn sight more that Broonie’s weekly wage!
H!H!
Estadio,
come back soon Buddy… yer missed
watch out for them wee yella pills… seen them on One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest
if u can smuggle a few out… I’m yer man ;)
Master Rhodes wid coast.. and Arm and A leg and yer uncle Mick’s Gless Eye!
and..
That kinda Price is far to Rich fur oor Blood!
We should have bid fur him.. months ago..
In the succeeding Months his Valuation has Shot Sky High.
We should resume negos with Diawara..
His Price range is More within oor Budget.

i like scott brown and i think he should be playing most games
i dont really think we have a captain but scott is the closest thing we have
i would like to see samba(blackburn) as our captain even then im not sure i would sell brown
i like izzy and would like to see him fit and playing ASAP
need a new goalie badly,
loads of people on here are saying gordon
he would do the job i suppose
also in desperate need of a striker and i would really like to see diawara playing for us
but of course this is all just my view on things
