The success rate of Celtic’s player recruitment strategy in recent years has been exceptional; pound-for–pound better than any period in our history. Forster, Mulgrew, Lustig, Matthews, Izaguirre, Wilson, Ledley, Wanyama, Commons, Kayal and Hooper have arrived for limited outlay and have propelled the club into the latter stages of the Champions League.
By contrast, Mo Bangura failed to impress on any occasion tested. At another time it would be easy to write him off but it seems unusual that the current system for scouting and assessing footballers has led to a striker who only yesterday recorded his first goal for the club.
In all honesty I suspect Mo will not get a chance to turn things around at Celtic, there are several strikers ahead of him in the squad and our scouts will forever be working on fresh recruits, but this doesn’t mean he is a bad player. It’s more likely that his induction into Scottish life missed a crucial step.
Did you see the story and photograph about Michael Johnson yesterday? The 24-year-old was paid-off by Manchester City near the end of his £40k per week contract. He was unfortunate with injuries but there is a lesson for football to learn in his demise.
The day anyone, young or old, clever or stupid, signs a £10m contract life can become one long party. ‘You don’t like my attitude/weight/blood test/friends? I’m on a multi-million pound contract, deal with it.’ How can football deal with this issue?
For the record, there is absolutely no connection between Mo, whose attitude has been first class, and Michael Johnson’s demise.

I read that on the Celtic website, they posted an article around 9.15 this morning saying the queue was massive and no-one else was being allowed to join it…….
I think you need to be in that queue to get tickets by the looks of it.
im 2/3 along the queue now
help just came on my media player lol, apt
Finally they are starting to show their true colours. They havnt learned a thing, the cheating bunch of scum. Not happy enough with putting an innocent lawyer’s life at risk, Fat sally now demand’s his extinct previous club’s order brother’s give his new shambles of a club a helping masonic hand up the all seeing eye pyramid structure of scottish football.
Just **** off McCoist you weasel.
Oh yeah and good morning

oh and good morning!
Good to see Tom Rogic signing rather than go to a bottom EPL club. Seems he wants to win things – look forward to seeing what he can do for us.
Young Rogic arriving back with the rest of the squad last night.

There’s only one Tommy Rogic
He signed for us, what was the logic?
Turned down the EPL
To face Motherwell
Walking in a Rogic wonderland
From both FF and Sevcomedia together with a few predictable replies:
“Remember this impartial member of the SFA panel tasked with dealing with Lord Nimmos findings against Rangers and Craig Whyte?
Described at the time as the “erstwhile football commentator” in various pieces such as..
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/922…n-Rangers.html
I discovered today during an unrelated conversation that the impartial Mr Murning is currently making his money organising “An Audience with Henrik Larsson” evenings in Glasgow and Ireland. His company World Celebrity Bookings are the events management company putting it all together…. It appears though that the only “World celebrity” on their books is the aforementioned hero of the green and greys.
The link can be seen at… http://henriklarsson.co.uk/ which is a page forward from the site http://www.wcbookings.com which in turn is registered to impartial Mr Alistair Murning ….
So one third of the panel making judgement on Rangers appears linked to Celtic….who would have thunk it…
Sooner we bring this house of cards down the better.”

“Corruption right to the core , these *******s must be exposed for the good of all Scottish football.”
——
“any where else folk would be asking Qs
here in bigoted wee scotland, it has now become the norm.
Hand picked for a reason”
——
“one would think these kind of stories would normally be the medias bread and butter but not in Scotland eh. Makes me sick.”
——
” I’ve tweeted this thread to Andrew Dickson. He’s going to have a look at it when he gets to a computer. Hopefully he’ll pass it on.”
No prizes for guessing that the original post has a link to Murning’s home address.
Due to unprecedented demand, we cannot guarantee that all season ticket holders in this queue will be able to purchase tickets for the Juventus game.

Lenny seems to be continually asked for comment or opinion on the 3rd divisions latest club by the msm.
Do they ever ask disgusting pie face for comment on how well Lenny’s doing as a manager, on how brilliant it must be to be in the last 16 of the CL, on how well run we are as a club, on the fantastic support we have, on our brilliant scouting system, on the rocketing value of Lenny’s young signings etc etc.
Just ask him if he wishes he was Lenny!

Just read that.
I’ve had it for extra tickets then, I’m only half way along the bar.
Fair play to those queuing up but work dictates otherwise for me.
(Although using phone and computer to my advantage obviously!)
