Two years ago I had a memorable journey from one end of Poland to the other, mostly in silent prayer that our man from Poland would slow down, to check out a few footballers, including Wisla Krakow striker, Pawel Brozek, who obliged with a goal.
Pawel has played mostly as a lone striker, he can hold the ball up and bring others into the game. He’s not a particularly tricky player but he has good positional sense inside the box. His move to Trabzonspor last year hasn’t worked out well as he has played back up to scoring sensation, Burak Yilmaz, who is averaging better than a goal per game in the league this season. Brozek’s record at Wisla was comparable to Maciej Zurawski, who he replaced as top striker in the league.
The Polish CQN brigade told me Celtic should move for Pawel and his twin brother before Trabzonspor signed them. When news leaked that Pawel was a target to replace ex-Rangers player (too soon?) Nikica Jelavic our man in Poland suggested he would pick up a lot of points for Rangers in the SPL.
If he comes to Celtic on a six month loan both parties will have plenty of opportunity to figure out if there is long term fit. In the meantime, should Pawel arrive we have someone to put pressure on Gary Hooper and Anthony Stokes and the Cheeky Chappie will have to consider his next move (again, too soon?).
On the subject of Jelavic…. Remember in August 2010 when we were told he “effectively went on strike” to engineer his escape from Rapid Vienna after the player declared he wasn’t able to face Aston Villa? I hear he’s unable to play against Hibs this afternoon.

Elvis has reason to be all shook up tomorrow as baby elvis has just been let go from the celtic academy. The football world is indeed a small one.
My dear,dear,dear,friend… Gordon64

Sure, Ah Am..” Spot On” ,as ye so succinctly pit it.
Fur Ah Know that ..If .. The Refs wur mainly responsible fur oor
Defeats..
WE WID NEVER WIN A SINGLE GAME!
Fur the Dae hiv the Biggest Screw Driver around.. and
If they wur say hell bent in destroying oor Chances of winning
the League..
They wid Use it.. tae the greatest Effect!
But,I Ma Opinion.. they are No hell bent tae destroy us, at awe
they are Jist.. Incompentent ,at thur Joab.
Why ..if the Refs are so much agin us..
Dae they allow us tae be leading the League.. Every season?
And beating the G.A. so miny Times?
Look..
His it Never occurred tae The Folks who Blame the Refs fur awe oor
defeats..
That..Mebbe..
The Refs ,oan a whole.. are jist No Very guid ,at their Joab?
Well…that has Occurred tae Me…
And It has also occurred to
TERRY HARTE..who is now a co-Commentater oan Chan 67
Ah hope ye are in a Position tae Listen tae Him..
Noo. Terry is an Ex-Grade Wan. Ref..
And he frequently points oot.. points in the game he is commentating oan when the Officiating Ref..has ignored a Law of the game..or Completely Made a wrang decision.. especially, when it comes to
the awarding of Free kicks.
Face it folks..
A loat of The Refereeing Mistakes made agin us..
Are caused by… Ineptitude..no.. Malice..oan the Part of the offending Ref.
well..
Like ah say
That is MA OPINION..
Ma Critics hiv theirs’.. and Ah hiv Mine.

OK, lets look at it logically…. if we play pash the MIBs can influence, if we play braw then it doesnt matter a jot (is there such a word as jot?) so if we play pash it goes either way and even without the MIBs…
its too easy to lay the blame on MIBs no matter how distasteful i find these wallopers.
good managers and players rise above it, thats what really worries the huns
Kojo
I did actually agree with your previous post
although your comments later suggested otherwise.
And i concur with your recent post.
Oldtim67
Because you’ve got old in your name. Doesn’t make you wise!!!
So I’ll stick with my own version off correct.
Not a defo for the quiz night, but alas if I do make it along I’ll only be helping you prop up the bar. :-))

Add me to that list, only had a couple so far :-)
I wonder what trumped up controversy we will be beset by tomorrow?
It would be nice just to play the game rather than always have to watch for the ‘game-playing’…..
Show them up for the frauds they are.
My dear,dear,dear,friend.. Chaplin
Absolutely,pal.
Ah mean GERRY Harte.
Ah goat his First Name wrang.
Kojo
yer pal.. who likes ye aloater.
I wonder what ‘controversy’ we will be beset by tomorrow?
Elvis was once a hun,
but by the time, after many years travelling here and there, years later, he left Celtic Park, I would suggest the vast majority of Celtic fans had a soft spot for him.
And they will maintain that soft spot for him, in his career as falkirk manager, and where else it takes him in the years to come.
Although An easy 4-0 tomorrow would be the order of the day.
……well there’s bound to be at least two…..
My dear,dear,dear,friend.. Gordon64
Ah know that You agreed ,Pal.
But, sometimes, when Ah Get goin’
Ah am liable tae drift ..here and there and Hither and Thither
It is a failing ,which Ah hiv…ye must forgie me.
Kojo
Yer pal..who likes ye aloater.
Barca don’t have the cutting edge tonight, fair play to the yellow submarine they are doing good here.
Looks like the league will be going to Jose this season

Your the nominated sober poster tonight.
No more for you.

Agreed. my god, we have played pash these last few years, and I am not excusing some of the worst Celtic performances I have ever witnessed under Mr Mowbray, all I wish to point out is that they have not been that much better!!!
Some of the worst RFC performances havce been in co-incident with the Celtic performances…all I wish to point out is that the TORPID rangers performances have been more than offset, not just by the same from Celtic, but so obviously aided and abetted by officialdom in the form of the MIB’s ….as Dr Reid once so eloquently requested…a level playing field….that is all that was required for a seven-in-a-row run in at the moment!!!

night bhoys..
KTF..
MWDs.
I’m not there yet,but would be happy to have a few with you in the bar,Music quiz does nothing for me,unless they were Celtic songs.
Do the huns get more decisions going for them than us? YES
Do referees in Scotland have a propensity to favour the huns over us? YES
Is there a big conspiracy where they sit in an office and smoke fat cigars whilst conspiring to bring about our downfall? NO
Why did we lose the league last season? BECAUSE LENNY MADE MISTAKES IN TACTICS AND PLAYER CHOICE AND THE BHOYS IN GREEN AND WHITE LET US DOWN ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS.
There G64, I told ye I’d sort it :-))))))))))
Kojo
No worries pal.

to be fair to the financial dopers they bought a pretty bloddy good team, which even managed to reach the final of the UEFA cup
Barcelona draw tonight to fall 7 points behind.
A good night to put a wee bet on Barca to win the league I think.

Thats very true, with the lowest number of goals scored EVER to reach a european final!!! And tactics which strangled the life-force out of the very essense of football!!
My friend I dont disagree that they did what they had to do with the talent at their disposal…but my point remains..it did not matter what we did, what we spent, what team we picked, what tactics we played…we were simply never going to be allowed to win …paranoid maybe but convinced all the same!!!
I agree there were no meetings to discuss how to cheat the uppity Tims…and there didnt need to be , all you ned is for individual officials to apply the ‘rules’ differently and in moderation and lo and behold we have a different result….too pished maybe but convinced none-the-less it should be seven in a row for the good ghuys
night nioght and hail hail
