    I was watching the Trophy presentation and got an afternoon free thatI did not expect. Much pleading and cow eyes etc. ?

     

     

     

    But you right.

     

     

    Well done the Champs

     

     

    Back on Friday unless the huns go bust

    Well done Celtic today.

     

    I thought the celebrations were excellent. Quality and very uncomfortable viewing for many in the press box.

     

    Good performance on and off the field. Crowd were great. Great singing throughout.

     

    Terrific that Sammi got the send off he deserves and scored.

     

     

    Enjoy these days bhoys, soak them in and cherish every moment.

    “on the down side, walking

     

    up the Celtic way with my girl before the game,I noticed

     

    a gathering of rough types at the pools office.”

     

    Those’ll be the reps. Have you ever seen what it takes to get money off a part-timer?

    and….

     

     

    btw – great show from all for the wee bhoy Oscar…

     

     

    and superb to see big bad john and stan…

     

     

    last year lost god-mother to C…

     

     

    thankfully my mother won her battle….

  7. Georgios Samaras ,all the best big ghuy ,good luck in the world cup.

     

     

    Love vp.

  8. Celtic having swapped all the penny caramels for two strikers and a winger as yet to make a significant impression on the first team may be playing the game a wee bit mair cautiously this year!

     

     

    There is no way we are going to pay Sammi, Pukki, Derk, Amido, Griffo, Anto, Jamesy, Kris and possibly one new man are we?

     

     

    Good luck Sammi you scored some cracking goals for us and you got our club but we needed more of that from you Big Man, Celtic Strikers need to be heroes as well as Ghods!!

    Lovely article about Oscar’s ceremony today. How wonderful are his parents.

    No offence mate…but that 2nd photo on your link is heartbreaking.

    We’re not that far apart. Lenny doesn’t use Sammi in the league to any great extent, but he’s first on the team sheet for European games. Look at his stats. It’s quite marked actually.

     

     

    He’s decided to use his budget elsewhere. Budget comes down from above.

     

     

    I’m sure Lenny would have liked to keep Sammi for Europe, but we (he) don’t have that luxury.

  11. Biggest lesson from Sammi affair is. When, club, player and especially player’s agent can’t agree quickly, then punt player before transfer window in which his contract runs out. A few bob is better than nothing.

  12. Sad to see Sammi go.

     

    But don’t think he merited a 3 year contract on 15-20 grand a week.

     

    Also think his replacement is lined up (Snodgrass).

  13. Quonno – you miss the fact that said player in post Bosman world can sit it out thus getting themselves more money with new club.

     

     

    And in a short career it’s what the Sammy’s if the world need to do and that is get the best deal.

     

     

    So if a player won’t move during rundown what do you do ?

    Celtic will only get Snodgrass if they are prepared to pay the price and the price will only be right for Celtic if nobody else is interested.

  15. Dignity in the EPL..

     

     

    Man Utd fans flew a plane dragging a banner over Anfield during the match against Newcastle. It read…

     

     

    United 20 Gerrard 0

     

     

    David Moyes, you are well out of that cesspit.

  16. I thought dyed in the wool Celtic fan Robert Snodgrass was unbuckling his sandals for a journey of glass covered roadway to Glasgow to sign for us ?

     

     

    Money ? How crude of him…..

  17. Nice touch from our sponsors Magners today, with the plane over Celtic Park

     

     

    Champions :-)

     

     

    Hail Hail

  18. loved thi big mhan but he was an enigma.

     

     

    ok bhoys I need a team from the following pool to give me most points in my world cup coupon.

     

    iran,nigeria,japan,cameroon,korea rep,costa rica,ghana and last Australia.

     

     

    thanks in advance.

  19. Its a funny old world….

     

     

    Nowadays….Player running down his contract is selfish…

     

     

    Once upon a time… Player honouring his contract is honourable…

    quonno

     

     

    Agree with you in general.

     

    However, had it, as some of think it should have been, Sammi had it spelled out to him November that if he did not accept a new contract he would serve out the remainder of his contract in the stand: he would then have had to consider his world cup chances.

     

     

    Some can question if that is the way to treat an apparently loyal player. However is serving one’s own interests the way that a player should trat a loyal club and its fans?

    Big Sammi will always split opinions. I like the big guy but also found him very frustrating at times. With 71 caps for Greece he must be doing something right. If he is being allowed to go because of the financials fair enough but please, Celtic, stop wasting money on guys who are not fit to lace Sammi’s boots, Rasmussen, Murphy, Bangura and our present ‘Project for the Future’ to name but a few. We will not be replacing him with anyone that has European knowhow because that does not come cheap.

     

    On another note I reckon that Suarez will be in Chelski shirt next season. He fits Mourinho’s job description to a T – prolific goal scorer with a penchant for diving and cheating.

  22. Just been reading that if Barca win their 2 remaining games, hey win their league. Normally, I would be delighted with that. But I had a thought: in our recent games against them at Parkhead, they should have had 2 players sent off, while we had 1, in large measure because Barca had a wee cheat playing for them. Nah. I hope Atletico win.

  23. TBJ says Wee Oscar Knox is in heaven with the angels on

    Nice end to the season

     

     

    Hoping to see a few new first teamers coming in the next month

     

     

    Time to say goodbye to a few old faces and a couple of newish faces too

    You might be too young to remember this mate?

    I give you the recent case law of Bobo Balde v Celtic / Peter Lawell to suggest that particular approach shouldn’t be touched with a barge pole :)

     

     

    6 years service probably merits a non confrontational ending….

    ———————————

     

    With you on that one.

     

    I have fallen out of love with Barca – not that I’m keen on the other two alternatives. I have trouble trying to forgive Atletico for that night I stood in the Jungle all those years ago.

  27. Stairheedrammy on

    Big Sammy shone for around one game in eight. Time for him to move on with our thanks.

  28. ryecatcher,

     

     

    I was 23 when that game was played. I can still see Jinky writhing in agony. I just feel that Atletico play the best football I have seen this season.

  29. theglasgowcelticway on

    Just back home,couple of pints after another championship party game.

     

     

    The team will have new faces next season and some old faces wont be there but ,looking forward to it already.

     

     

    Hail hail.

  30. The plain truth of the matter is that we have too many players who do not make a significant contribution to our season

     

    Sammi never hides when he plays but the fact is we cannot afford to pay such high wages for someone who continued to be so inconsistent

     

    He leaves with our best wishes

     

    We also should cut loose a number of others IMHO

     

    DB – showed nothing after first 30 minutes and his first injury -punt

     

    TP – despite scoring goals still looks out of place and unhappy -punt

     

    AB – seems to be carrying the can for Wednesday -we never play to his strengths – so punt

     

    BK – needs a new start somewhere – punt

     

     

    If it was my shout they would be joined by the likes of Griffiths and Stokes both of whom will continue to get themselves into trouble off the park

     

    Stokes and Griffiths have talent but not the mental attitude to be top players

     

    KC – should not be given a three year contract – he’s had a great season but lacks the pace for Europe

     

     

    I would prefer us to promote from within – hopefully cherry pick the best Scottish talent -like the lad Armstrong from DU – and add the likes of Snodgrass who’s a CFC fan as well as a good player

     

     

    If Lenny is staying then the choice of a new assistant will tell us a lot about our ambition

     

     

    The one disappointment today was the lack of a mention for big Johann -guy has been terrific for us and his contribution should have been recognised

     

     

    Thank you Big Man!

    A big Sammi debate is a lot more interesting
