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.

Tesco are getting a new delivery of burgers in tomorrow at 10/1.
All this talk about horsemeat reminds me of the time when I was working in a warehouse loading up vans in the middle of summer, we had to hurry up because the driver had a tight delivery schedule, we were very hot – “any you guys fancy a drink of iron brew” says the driver, sure thing – one mouthful told me I had been conned, he had ‘relieved’ himself in the irn bru bottle before offering it to us, what a ratbag, he nearly wet himself laughin.

Lol.
Moose steak…

Have I made a mistake?
Have I lost my horse sense?

Here’s hoping ‘istanbulcelt’ stays safe in this most mental of worlds.
As the Islamists do as they said they would, the gun nuts in Ameriky are havin’ a gun celebration day at the weekend.
I give up.
MM…that would depend on what camp he’s on mate…been here 2 years…met a surprising number of tims……wearing the hoops kinda announces it…….theres a few huns here too….i do my best to keep them updated on there woes…(need a hobby out here after all)….that chart should have the heading….”visits to greggs”
So far this season we have earned 16.860 coefficient points, almost half of our total over the last 5 seasons 0_o
Crazily though our efficient will drop to 30.163 next year if we finish on 16.860 this year due to our points of season 08/09 being wiped out of the calculation which would drop us to 67th
A good number to be on
08/09 09/10 10/11 11/12 12/13 Total
7.375 5.533 2.220 5.550 16.860 37.538

Who is kidding who here?
Its always funny when a hundit starts a sentence with ” if i were a Rankers supporter…..”
We really are winding back the clock as our weapons advance in sophistication.
It’s not the horsemeat per se. It’s the fact we don’t know what these food factories really get up to, Percy.
Ollwoit?
Soon we’ll be back to the time of the Victorian food scandals.
It’s always the disadvantaged wot gets mugged, Clarabelle….

Good work mate ,keep up the foraging :0).
It is breathtaking what this mob are getting away with, same club ,same history blah blah blah ,with barely a squeak of dissent from the authorities nor the MSM.
The efforts of the like of messrs Barcabhoy and Doyle should never abate until the truth is finally realised .

So good to see WGS getting the boot in wi’ a twinkle an’ a chuckle…..an’ there’s no a lot they can do about it….except grin and bear it….excuse the pun.
Evening folks.

Obama going after the NRA. I hope his security is up to scratch as every gun nut in America will be after him now. Hate to think it but another JFK moment on the horizon.
Why didnt I think of this

I know that cattle are raised specifically for their meat (dairy cattle excepted) but where does horse meat actually come from?
Surely in this part of the world horses either die from illness or old age. That would be my concern about eating it. Anyone know?
Channel…,
That Gregory Loannidis is writing an article soon, dedicated to why they are not the same club, get him on your follow list.
On the horsemeat thing..
McDonalds were selling chevalburgers when I was in Paris the first time in 1989
They probably still do
Headtheball, I thought they all got executed
John the hun disappears up several verbal cul de sacs before requesting “please leave u alane”
happily mate, happily.
“Can’t believe that woman was sent to hospital after eating a horse meat burger… Her condition is said to be stable”.

Brilliant idea, in theory. If I hadn’t just taken early retirement, that would have been an option!.

Fair play to thon hertz fan ,he didnt miss them ! The huns will never again be on a level financial playing field with Celtic. It must though be blood-boiling to fans of other clubs watching a recently liquidated club being re-formed as a newco and immediately proceed to attract premier league standard players.
