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.

Bad timing at 16:08 for you eh ?
You do realise what and why I made the original post ?
1. Who is Celtic`s most skillful player? Commons
2. Most influential? Brown
3. Hardest working? Brown/Izzy
4. Best passer? Hoopy
5. Classiest? VVD
6. Popular? Commons, / used to be Samaras
7.Confident? Lustig………….and so he should be, looking like Jhonny Depp in the Hoops

Till now, it’s all been tip-toe-ing around the elephant in the room.

Has anyone ever seen the elephant in the room and Jim Traynor at the same time…….???
Neganon,
The notion may be important – mauling it to death – not interesting.
Discuss it with your opponents off-line
Reach some conclusions
Write a paper on it and submit it
Then we’ll throw it in the bin and get on with discussing who is playing centre midfield next week

Are blue pitch and margarita breaking cover?

Has anyone added a link to MAs statement ? H.H.
Charliemac or you could simply scroll on past?
BCW yes a case of bad timing. No idea why you posted please explain.
But please also answer my question?
If the motion to eject the 4 directors is passed
And they decide that they would not be allowed to appoint Murray and King because they are disbarred
Would the have a board of directors of 1 if the other chancer gets the nod?
Charliemac
In fairness to Neg2, he was asked to supply….he did.
As usual though he’s lost sight of everything…..

Good day to one and all. Disappointed that I will miss the Belfast hootenanny, it’s just came to quick for me to recover in time, but I have booked a break to Kraków in mid March! My question is…on the Friday that I’m there it’s the local derby, Wisla v Cracovia(sp). I have heard so many stories re Polish football, I was wondering is it safe to take Mrs Frantic? Or give it a miss, and just soak up the atmosphere between the fans in the old town?
Any info re Kraków most welcome. Oh btw, those going to Belfast, drink responsibly! Aye right! Frantic07.

Hi Frantic
I have just moved to Krakow. I live near both stadiums and for big matches there is a heavy police presence but I have not witnessed any violence outside the stadiums – the atmosphere sounds great. I believe you need a passport/ID card to purchase tickets – maybe the resident CQN Polish friend may know more.
Krakow is a great wee town – enjoy yourself.
7 things you don’t know about me

==========================================
My original point was not strictly about today (but it does show a lot of the same symptoms)
The point is – I don’t believe this blog is the forum for that incessant stuff – take it off-line
Call it good manners or blog etiquette or whatever
That’s my last on the matter, before I get accused of the same
Oh dear!!!

McLaughlin – “the company that ran the club”!
Anyone remember any reports of Murray “investing” millions in “the company that ran the club”? No, me neither.

Saddened to hear the news of your sister Rena.
Prayers and thoughts go out to you and your family.
Kittoch try |Molly Malones top of Hope Street or Alea (Casino) on Springfield Quay,great big screen built in to the mirror. I’d phone them both first just to be sure. Hail Hail Hebcelt

Condolences to you and your Family.

Think my original post was just after 2 read back……
You may have missed the reason due to your scalded cat act.
Now about those fixations……..
Charliemac I know what you mean. However I think it’s difficult because much of what makes the blog compelling is a wider debate and in depth discussions. I accept its not to everyone’s taste though.

Sorry to hear of the loss of your sister Rita.
May she rest in peace.
Prayers said for her, for you and your family.
Stay strong mate.
Dear oh dear, “rip up the rule book” says delahunt.
“Biggest decision the sfa has ever had to make” keevins hyperbole. Is that since they last threw out their rule book for the benefit of one club and to the shame of scotland. The rules are they to stop this kind of pantomine. Shameful.
There must be a way out of this corrupt association for us
