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 refuse to believe TESCO burgers have any sort of meat in them at all.
Footbal League Chairman Greg Clarke just said on Talksport ‘no chance’ of SevCo joining Conference

Very nice ….am gone to Gutties in Girvan
Casually flicking through the sports channels last night it was something of an unexpected treat to see the Celts in action in Marbella against famous European opposition. Only a friendly, but nevertheless Celtic looked determined for the win last night and it was obvious looking at the Bucharest coaching staff on the line that they did not like loosing this game.
Georgios always revels in these games against International opposition and got on the scoring sheet – he’s always doing that these days. Once again his football skills shone through in this game.
We all remember the dogs abuse suffered by Samaras, Kelvin Wilson, Charlie and Scott Brown until they were born again and are now stalwarts under Neil lennon and his coaching staff. Who knows, Mo Bangura may be on the same path.
thank bb……kojo…….perplexed me as always……entertaining tho…
Creep,creeping aboot.
TONYG –
Aye, but which one?
Oh and thanks for replying ;-)
re the reason ticket graph, why didnt they use a pie chart?
Ticket office doing my nut. Booked Juve ticket on-line 2 weeks ago and not arrived, they can confirm it was printed but not if it was posted.
wtf!
ASonOfDan –
I booked my tickets the day thy went on sale and apart from the confirmation email I’ve not heard anything either.
I do think they delay issuing the tickets until a couple of weeks before the game. Probably so that they’re not inundated with folk contacting them to say they’ve lost their tickets!
Posted this morning that out of 24 conferences teams asked about Sevco only 15 replied and only 9 of those were in favour.
Why let facts get in the way of Sevco fiction.
jobo baldie
cheers.
Who says stats don’t lie ? anyone see that this just doesn’t look right

SSB is so funny with newco fans talking about club and company being different. are these people for real, they are stupid f&ckers hahaha
why dont hearts, kilmarnock, aberdeen, dundee united, dundee etc not all just go down the same road as sevco, maybe because they all know the truth
as the proclaimers would say: ‘rangers no more, hun man no more’
MurdochauldandHay –
so that’s a rise of 247 in number. But didn’t the price fall from something like £460 to £280?

Football League chairman Greg Clarke has poured cold water on the idea of Rangers joining the Conference in… http://fb.me/RWWXQtYT
Ruairidh Burns @RuairidhBurns
Reporter: “Will you pick Rangers players despite them playing in division 3?”. Strachan: “I don’t think any Berwick players are good enough”
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
i love all the outrage about the horse meat, we draw the line at horse meat, but anything else goes, we’re happy to kill, slaughter and cook a poor we cow but god forbid we eat a little horse meat, that just so wrong (lol)… when they find human meat in my burger i’ll be worry, but for god sake safe the bull (shite)
MAH
That’s hilarious
Firstly STs this season are less than £200 …Also they’ve depicted a 96 rise in sales to represent about 20,000…
It’s just a big con …..it seems to be working with the stupids
henr1ck
That’s comedy gold …brilliant
Just said to mrs …the huns aren’t going to like WGS …

Neil canamlar……..
That makes good reading ,zombie at work pointed out that huns at present 88th.
Had me worried,this proves it dont mean a thing !
Just reading the German press, they are in rapture about Guardiola joing Bayern.
“A great coup for the Bundesliga, and for Bayern. Chairman Watzke of Dortmund says “its terrific, but we don’t have to do anything, we have Jurgen Klopp, the best trainer in the world”. Kaiser Franz and K-H Rummeigge say that they are delighted to have him on board.
Atticus Finch – wish I could have taken up your generous offer o’ Juve briefs.
Still in work? Tsk, tsk… HH
jim duffy ~ we would need a person from companies house to answer the question about if its the same or different club/ company! good idea why dont you do that and ask hrmc to come in as well and ask cg pre-liqudation and the rangers fans.
thinks have not changed glasgow rangers are dead if they are alive they will have to pay debt, hence the reason they are dead (LOL)
I said to Mrs z…”hope your not feeding me horsemeat”…she replied…”shut up and finish your nosebag”
think even more emphasis/ pressure will be placed on new scotland boss to select sevco player. should be interesting times ahead
