Motherwell fought tenaciously for most of the game at Celtic Park this afternoon but a momentary lapse was all that Georgios Samaras and Gary Hooper needed to settle the contest. Celtic moved an astonishing 23 points clear at the top of the table and are odds on favourite to become champions before the next return to Celtic Park.
Samaras was first to show after 9 minutes when he latched onto a Matthews flick but Darren Randolph was quick off his line to block. Player of the Year elect, Charlie Mulgrew, then jinked past a defender before slipping the ball to Samaras. The Greek’s shot was block and Mulgrew blasted the rebound wide. Randolph then saved well after Samaras shot from inside the D.
While Celtic always looked dangerous, Motherwell were in no mood to concede, so the goal was surprising in its simplicity. Adam Matthews fired a throw-in to Samaras, who chested the ball into the path of unmarked Gary Hooper. Hooper put his laces through the ball from a narrow angle to give Randolph no chance.
Samaras, Hooper and Forrest all had chances to finish the game off but the second goal never arrived.
Good defences are a lot harder to quantify than poor defences. Today Celtic strolled through the game at the back. No one was stretched and Fraser Forster didn’t have a save to make until the 77th minute.

If the rumours are true about the Poppy money, they might as well slit their wrists, jeez I hope it’s true.

This has to be B/S how could they ever hope to get away with misappropriating money collected for British veterans. Not even der Hun would stoop so low –surely?
I would enjoy watching the Orc hordes squirm their way out of that if it were true. Are we going to get another huge serving of Jelly and Ice Cream?

Been looking for the announcement of how much Rangers raised on poppy day and the pic of a big cheque being handed over to the Royal British legion on front of the assembled press.
Can’t seem to find anything….
Cults
They are well and truly royally fecked, and I just can’t get enough.
I honestly didn’t think I would live to see the day, but I have, and they deserve everything that is coming to them.
Liquidation IMO is too good for them, 140 years of cheating and suprenisism, they can stick it up King Billy’s tax introducing erse.
The MSM are scurrying around like rats on a sinking ship, hell mend the lot of them.

I would sooo love the poppy rumour to be true.
Would sum up their hypocrisy perfectly.
TET
Hope Tony calls Clyde!! Nice tasty plate of I & J at the side there too!!! YUMMY YUMM!!! )o(;)
Surely surely surely they could not stoop that low to funnel off poppy proceeds?
Now that would be “ironic” after all the flak we took over the ever predictible poppy-gate.
Beginning to think ethics are viewed as an unnecessary inconvenience to that lot.
If the pheonix rises it will merely be the same monster with identical atavistic & delinquent behaviour. But what do i know.
James McGrory was a brilliant centre forward by all accounts, but I have been watching the Celtic since 1959 and in my opinion Larsson stands alone as the best striker I have seen at Paradise
Loyal and true…oh the irony of it all!

I wonder if this poppy story is true.This is far more damaging for them trying to move forward.Its radio active fallout time
JQB
I would be in the same boat as you, my prob is the old brain just can’t remember things like I could years ago, I must admit the copious ammounts of vino could have something to do with things, but hey, I came here to do nada and sample the good things :>)
Enrico Dandolo nicked my Crusade
I’ve just stocked up on a coupla crates of the finest cava, i was in for the long haul – two or three weeks at least. Can’t they do anything properly? Its aw happenin too fast, they’re like a pubescent schoolboy.
Bloody hell, what am ah gonnie do with all these dancin girls?
Don’t know about jelly but what about a giant wedge of fresh baked humble pie?
They should be forced fed it with a dollop of ice cream.

Watching End of Days. Not what I thought it was about.
Do you like Huey Lewis And The News?
Their early work was a little too New Wave for my taste, but when Sports came out in ’83, I think they really came into their own, commercially and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost. He’s been compared to Elvis Costello, but I think Huey has a far more bitter, cynical sense of humour:

Lest we forget!
I wonder how Truth 7212 is feeling now about his constant sarcastic jibe on here that we should “enjoy our glorious balance sheet cos they had the trophies!”
And what does it profit a hun if he gains a few tainted titles but loses his life
Whats this about the poopy money
No confirmation of poppy story I hasten to add, absence of evidence not being evidence of absence and all that.
If youse deluded fools think such a thing could ever befall the worlds most successful club, where dignity is not just a word, but a way of life, unlike how they immigrants ,,,,,
Och, cannae be bothered, i’m off to watch the rugby. ….
TET,
I think u have it right my friend. After a while, u have to let life take u as it finds u, not the other way round.

Cava and dancing girls. That’s my favourite Sunday lunch. Keep the former cold and the later warm and I’ll be there around 12:30 :)

How sad and pathetic do your attackers look now Neil
Whisper this Moisty 23 POINTS!!!

The hun have a reputation for scamming charities do they not, remember the veterans game, they only handed over about 10k if my scrambled brain recalls, they must have trousered a couple of hunderd k from the game.
They are cheats, fraudsters, liars, thiefs, I could go on. and on, and on, there is just not enough time and words to describe them.
The sooner the whole being of them is obliterated from the memory, the world will be a better place.

(the “bog” house must stay, hopin)
love that.
Best ever Celtic striker / player simples –
The inimitable King of Kings Henrick Larsson.
And if you disagree your a blaspheming Hun :-)
sftb
I must admit – I never felt I would ever see times like this..and I was a major complainer about our glorious balance sheet and empty trophy cabinet…
I still feel we could have done better the last 3 years but I must admit my anger was based on a lack of understanding and a lifetime of being conditioned to believing they could get away with anything..
Thee are HAPPY DAYS…!
Rico,
Ok, 12:30. But i can’t make any promises for the cava, cud b a long night
CultsBhoy loves being 1st – As I was telling my friend Paul Allen recently, these happy days are yours and mine:

Life’s a piece of sh**,
When you look at it.
Life’s a laugh and death’s a joke, it’s true.
You’ll see it’s all a show,
Keep ’em laughing as you go.
Just remember that the last laugh is on you.
OOOOoooohhhhhh…….
Always Look on the Bright Side of Life, da dee, dee da dee dee da dee

Oh Celtic are listening OK and Tony’s call tonight moves the public spotlight on to the SFA and I doubt theirattempt at a pre emptive enquiry will stand on its own. Any enquiry that does not cover all the issues itself undermines integrity and any enquiry that ignores the key positioning of Rangers menin the SFA/SPL further does so.

Another dodgy handshake??

Greig is almost certainly. Remember the Masonic distress sign to the fans invading the pitch in Barcelona 1972?
Willie Miller is probably one going by the company he keeps.
If that is true that they have pocketed the poppy money
That will go down as the last act of disgrace & infamay
We will Never remember them
One day someone will make a film of all that has gone on.Who would you get to play the main parts
