I read some discourse heading in the direction of Joe Ledley last night, which I can’t quite figure. Joe had initially seemed keen to sign the contract which had been in his hands for several months. Celtic wanted to get the deal done but it became clear this week that it wasn’t going to happen, and that Joe would leave under freedom of contract in the summer, if not this week.
This is the player’s absolute right. He committed fully to the cause until full time on Wednesday, and when Celtic decided to accept a bid reportedly close to £1m, rather than let him run down his contract – most probably from the stand, he agreed to join Crystal Palace, who were almost certainly not top of his desired destinations. Although he clearly pushed Palace all the way on the contract.
Joe could have just as easily free-wheeled for four months while continuing to collect his wages and shopping around for a new club, which would have suited him far more than Celtic.
Best wishes to Joe, I’m sure he’ll keep Palace up this season.
A formal welcome to Celtic to Leigh Griffiths. His interview on Celtic TV last night betrayed an irresistible focus. ‘What will you bring to Celtic?’ ‘Goals’. That’s what it’s all about Leigh, score goals, lots of them. Then score some more.
I was pleased Stefan Johansen got some game-time on Wednesday after 45 minutes for the youths on Tuesday; really hope we see him tomorrow. Did you notice his movement on Wednesday? Every time he passed the ball he sprinted into space. Hope he gets a start tomorrow but most of all, let’s break a record.

Taube was a scumbag mate.
Andy Carrol is the answer, made both West Ham goals in their win against Swansea then gets sent off and is out for 3 games oh dear.
Not the answer for the next few weeks now.
Had WHU Swansea game on in the background… Swansea’s balls into the box were terrible, either hitting the first defender or going straight to the keeper… How much are these players paid?
Hi Rubicon,
Sammi wishful thinking on my part. Had better starts to year health wise, picked up a nasty in Egypt at Christmas, which has me housebound bar Paradise visits, wrapped waiting for Goldstar to apply meds at HT, (cup of tea). Pining for the golf course.
Will be there tomorrow though.

The smart underpants that can shock their wearer (and could mean the end of bed sores)
Smart-e-pants use tiny pulses of electricity to stimulate the muscles
Researchers say they could be useful for the bed bound and diabetics

Underwear that gives you an electric shock could banish bed sores, researchers have claimed.
They have developed the ‘Smart-e-Pants’ to stimulate muscles, relieving pressure and boosting blood supply to paralysed or bed-bound patients.
If routinely distributed in hospitals, they could help prevent the sores or pressure ulcers that blight almost half a million Britons each year, costing the NHS billions.

Scientists at the University of Calgary have developed electrical underwear to prevent potentially lethal bed sores from forming.
Although they are often dismissed as a minor problem, the worst bed sores can eat through to the bone and lead to fatal complications.
The pants, which look like normal underwear but contain pockets for electrode pads on the buttocks, trick muscles into contracting with small electric shocks.

This relieves pressure and boosts the supply of blood, oxygen and nutrients to the area, stopping the tissue and muscle from dying.
In a trial, 33 severely ill patients – including victims of car and motorcycle crashes and others with broken hips, multiple sclerosis or diabetes – wore the Smart-e-Pants for four days a week for up to two months.

The pants are controlled by a special unit strapped to the wearer’s waist
The pants gave these volunteers tiny electric shocks for ten seconds every ten minutes for 12 hours a day.
Using traditional techniques – such as special mattresses and the regular turning of patients – between 10 and 30 per cent will develop pressure ulcers, but all of those testing the underwear remained sore-free.

The Society for Neuroscience’s annual conference in New Orleans heard that the trial also proved the pants were safe, and had the approval of both patients and nurses.
If a large-scale trial is equally successful, the underwear could be on sale in three years, according to University of Calgary researcher Sean Dukelow.
‘If you come into the hospital and you get a pair of smart pants put on to prevent pressure ulcers, then the nurses and the doctors can go about their regular business in terms of saving your life,’ he said.
His colleague Robyn Warwaruk Rogers added: ‘Pressure ulcers can be terribly debilitating. Our hope is that this innovative system will eventually make a difference to the lives of millions of people.’
Dr Dukelow said the technology could also be adapted to protect other parts of the body prone to sores, including the shoulder blades and heels.
The pants are expected to cost several hundred pounds per pair. Treating a severe case of bed sores can cost tens of thousands.
Peter Carter, of the Royal College of Nursing, said: ‘Pressure ulcers are not only very painful and distressing – they cost the NHS up to £2billion per year to treat.
‘If new technology can help and is cost effective then nurses will welcome that. However, this must not be a substitute for having the right number of well-trained staff on a ward.’

I agree Kojo, Sammy is enigma and will always split the support.

If good enough for Frank Lampard then these must be good enough for Tony D.
Johnny Fartpants from the Viz has been usurped by Kevlar.
Eurochamps67,
Sorry to hear you’ve been unwell. Hope you’re back to your best soon. Let’s get a game when you’re fit.
Good news for Arsenal fans: Kim Kallstrom comes in on loan until the end of the season

I remember you describing your love of sprouts on here at Xmas.
Eat them until you’re ready to burst now.
No more products from flatulence in the Brazen Heed.

Never thought I’d say this but I am very pleased with the transfer window. What’s not to like. Griff with the others looks pretty good. We seem to have a bit more skill in our squad now too, and with quality like Adam Mathews there as well, just fine and dandy. I have a hunch that Mathews could be a really good attacking midfielder for us given the chance, he oozes quality.
Yeah, chuffed I am and big Joe, all the best and thanks for all your effort.

I see young Keatings has scored for Hamilton already , I wonder how many of our loanees will score today ?
TonyD…
Talking about underpants or the lack of them , whatever the bed bound person prefers.
Is it true that Uluru in StarTrek only became that all over brown colour because Captain Kirk went commando one day and William Shatner?
Leigh Griffiths………..all about Mums on seats
ohits
I think we actually sold James Keatings to Hamilton.
HH!!
