When Kris Commons’ new contract expires in 2017, he will be the same age Lubomir Moravcik was when he joined Celtic as a 33-year-old in 1998. We now mock those who mocoked Celtic for signing the Slovak genius. While this may be Commons last contract, if the player applies himself as professionally over the next two years as he has since arriving at Celtic four years ago, his twilight years will continue to be effective.
He is our fulcrum. When you write Celtic match reports these days you find yourself sampling your Commons notes, whereas pretty much everything of note the rest of the team does is recorded. He is not the most industrious and will not feature high on many recorded metrics, but he’s the archetypal Moneyball footballer: an over 30 and apparently the wrong shaped marvel.

My sincere condolences on your sister’s passing may she rest in peace.
Some thoughtful picks there among the more obvious choices. I particularly liked Murdochbhoy`s: Craig Gordon as I’ve never heard him criticised. Uo_over_goal`s Stokes as Best Passer is interesting.

RIP Rena
You’ll be in my thoughts and prayers Jude.

Apparently the Grim Reaper is visiting Glasgow again, my daughter took a photo of his car. She lives across the motorway from a certain floating casino:

Couldnae be, could it?

I was interested in your opinion and how you arrived at it. Hamiltontim asked you for evidence to support your conjecture. HT supplied his view and substantiated it.
You offered further opinion and failed to provide evidence, ergo, you lose.

A London (EGM) location ?? Thats the level of contempt this board have for us RFC fans & shareholders.
Ignore such contempt at our club’s peril.
I’m glad kc is staying with us for the remainder of the season. I think he’ll have a big part to play. Beyond that….not fussed.
A wee bit of perspective though…
Kc has not featured in 10 games this season. Celtic have NOT lost in any of them.
HH
So Emergency Meeting will be March 4th in London. Smart move.

Ok long shot….
Anyone on CQN got kids at Holyrood school ( Glasgow)?
My son’s S1?team ( Cults Academy) have drawn them in Scottish Cup next week having dispatched Cowdenbeath 3-0 yesterday.
Apparently Holyrood biggest school in Europe and an SFA performance school …?
*******
My school team, St. Augustine’s cuffed them 2-0 in the Glasgow Schools semi final in 1958, if that’s any help!
BCW I lose?
Really?
I hold one opinion HT holds another.
So what.
I lose

Did you think I was belittling your choice? I certainly did not intend that. I was thinking:
“Hmmm…that`s an interesting perception. Stokes does not stroke the ball around a la Bitton but his passes are often telling. Well done u_o_g”

Condolences on the loss of your sister.
I noticed in the RIFC EGM notification, the repeated, heavy hand mentioning of the company who previously ran the club, in their denouncing of King and Murray.
They doth protest too much, methinks. #bardandsoheshouldbe.
Jude2005
May she rest in peace.
God bless
NegAnon2
I think the point was HT supported his with evidence and you didn`t.
JJ
PS I am only pointing that out. I don`t even know what the debate is about.
Neganon
So still no? No evidence?
Opinions are fine, without them this place would be boring and a whole lot quieter. However, I asked you to provide evidence to back up your claim as I had done. You don’t appear to be able to do that.
I don’t think we can go any further on this mate but rest assured if I see you posting it again I’ll be sure to put you right :-)
A London EGM will be wild handy for the “Chelsea” fans to stage a wee dignified protest!
