Neil Lennon will be delighted to have secured his captain, Scott Brown, on a new long-term contract which sees the player tied to the club until after his 30th birthday in 2015, with the club having an option to extend the deal by a further 12 months.
Scott joined Celtic in 2007 and played central midfield until last season, when he was occasionally used wide right, to great effect. Reflecting some of the conversations we had earlier this week with Georgios Samaras, who has recently been a revelation wide-left after years of frustration as part of a front pairing, Scott seemed to revel in the space the wider position allowed him to exploit.
Before joining Celtic Scott made his name playing almost as an auxiliary striker at Hibernian, where he would burst into the box with well-timed runs but at Celtic he is more commonly anchored in a defensive midfield role. As a consequence, despite having played more games for Celtic than Hibs, and playing for a team who attack far more often, he has still to match his Hibs goals scored total at Celtic.

QUESTIONABLE MUSIC…

Not even a hint of pink never mind the deserved red !!
Owl Stevie-boy at it again ! Ha !

dont think its about dropping anyone, in the winter its about keeping players fresh and on their toes, JF is young and has some good and bad games, complains too often when knocked off the ball for my liking, but in the heavier pitches and going into the 2nd half of the season injuries and suspension will take there toll, esp where the MIB’s are concerned. Squad game for me to win the league, Lenny will have a job trying to keep them all our midfielders happy happy, which for me is a good thing.

Forgot we met Canamalar. e-mailed you a couple of photos of Aiden.
Keep the Faith!
Hail Hail!
PS: Bangura is a ringer…:)
Paul67:
Not a fan of Scott Brown, feel we have done okay without him. However, if he plays he has to play right side of midfield.
Keep the Faith!
Hail Hail!

well said !!
it is indeed great to be alive !
love Mary’s Meals
off oot !
mon the Pars !

that Stevie Conroy….haha…hilarious !!
You know, the Nigerian diver actually does look decent.
It’s a Pity that
A) He plays with them
B) He doesn’t get paid
C) He washes his own strip
D) He looks at Lafferty’s kisser everyday.
Only got yourself to blame.

not for me at the moment, happy to see lenny leaving out Hooper and Kayal in games earlier as they came back hungrier, dont think it will be too long til JF gets a rest. Dont think we have had anyone since Henrik who would be guaranteed to play every week.

Lenny – cheers mate. Don’t feckin start me on Bangura again….! :-)
Sorry I was a bit of a nark yesterday.

Radio Ulster’s Talkback did a piece yesterday on Effin. Noel McBride came online and explained that there is a place in Inisowen called Bocan pronounced “buckin’”. So there is a Bockan dancehall, a Bocan football team and a Bocan snooker team. Noel did an impersonation of the great GAA commentator Miceal O Hehir doing a commentary on an imaginary All Ireland semi final between Bocan and Effin,
Hello and welcome to the semi final between Effin and Bocan. The match is being played here in this big Effin stadium. At the moment the Effin pipe band are on the field and they’re being booed off by all the Bockan supporters who have come here in a big Bocan double decker bus.
The manager of the Effin team is John J O’leary who is a partime Effin butcher and In a few moments time the ball will be thrown in by the Effin bishop or the bishop of Effin who is sitting beside the Bocan mayor’s wife. All leave has been cancelled for all the Effin garda. The match has now started and the Bocan full forward John O’Driscoll has gone through the 70yard, 60 yard 50 yard line he is in the penalty area and he has been tripped by an Effin defender
It is a Bocan penalty. Who will take the bocan penalty? O’Driscoll takes it and drives it high over the Effin bar and all the Effin and Bocan players are fighting and arguing and the referee has abandoned the match because the language is a disgrace.
