History can pivot even for bench duties

Scott Bain leaves Celtic as one of the most decorated players in Scottish football history.  Since signing in January 2018 the goalkeeper has collected 14 winners’ medals, including seven league titles.  The trophies arrived at a rate of one every 5.6 first team starts, which is probably a record!

He was the player Brendan Rodgers never intended to sign.  Brendan was set to bring in Trevor Carson from Motherwell that January on a four year deal, but Motherwell’s backfill (a loaner from Newcastle) went to Aberdeen instead, so ‘Well were unable to agree the deal.

Scott was brought in on a six-month loan.  In an interview last year, Carson revealed that Brendan spoke to him after the deal fell through and told him Celtic would be back in for him in summer.  When transfer business got underway the following June, Motherwell wanted £1m for a player who would make a total of 65 league and cup appearances for them over an indifferent four year stay.

That’s fewer than Scott made for Celtic in seven years.  Celtic declined. Carson’s subsequent career suggests he was not worth that valuation.  We signed Bain on a free to pick up bench duties instead.

History is fascinating because there is so much omitted.  The Trevor Carson/Scott Bain goings-on is a case in point.  History pivoted, but without a footnote.

    Daily record story, i smell s%^T. It was widely reported celtic had 30% on profit over 11 million regards frimpong’s sell on. Why would celtic agreed to a deal that limits their potential future profit, it makes no sense at all!!!

     

     

    Unless your a hurting sevco loving ragtag followers

    That’s not uncommon in terms of sell-on clause. Brings in a tidy sum.

    I must say, watching stv ‘news’ , I take some pleasure watching the Huns leaving the board. Better the devil you know, I hope

    Won’t be long before the rags saying Messi will be over in winter, when MLS is finished

    Rangers lying in their coffins and Cellic fans? board? whoever? told them not to worry old pals, Cellic will wangle yooz into the new TV Deal and get yooz up and ready again cause without yooz we’re just another Partick Thistle who play in Green and White hoops.

     

     

    Now the huns are awe sorted out and stuff and know that toppling Cellic won’t be as big an ask as some dreamers think it’ll be, cause – if needed – we’ll ( board ) throw another League their way and then we’ll play the dafties and oor fans will just fall into line as usual.

     

     

    Anybody not toeing the new fandabby-dozzy Old Firm are back circus by posting the evidence of their own eyes onto blogs will be dismissed as trolls by our favourite plants Dan & Mick etc.

     

     

    Have wings must fly.

    Frimpong signs £29.5 million, a story doing the rounds is if fee was over 30m ,we would get another 3m,but seems we have ended up with 3m as a sell on.

     

     

    —–

     

     

    “Hey, Leverkusen ! Liverpool here. We want Frimpong. The offer is £31m”

     

     

    “Hey Liverpool ! If we take your £31m we need to hand over £6m to Celtic, leaving us with £25m.

     

     

    “But if the fee is under £30m we only need to give Celtic £3m instead of £6m”

     

     

    “You couldn’t make it £29.5m could you?”

     

     

    💩💩💩💩💩💩

     

     

    🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

    The daily record reported that silly story, same paper tells us the champions league is worth 50 million then when sevco are knocked out it worth 20 million. Almost like they like planting seco friendly stories.

     

     

    celtic are not agreeing to a max % of future fee, they will have, as is normal demand % of every bit of profit. Celtic have been in this market for over a decade now, they are not gonna be that stupid.

    Good evening all from the Railway Bar, Bundoran. The hun do give me endless hours of hilarity. Even the good natured Mrs BRRB calls them “disgusting creatures” 😂

    Sky sports news reporting Celtic getting “around 5 million” from a £29.5 million Liverpool offer meeting the release clause in Frimpong’s contract.

    BB – cheers. Genuinely.

     

     

    No dig at you at all.

     

     

    And, from previous you’ve posted, your ears work better than most

  41. Back to Basics - Glass Half Full on

    The dig is at the SMSM.

     

     

    The required narrative is set.

     

     

    O*d F**m Ying and Yang sells.

     

     

    Gap isn’t closing organisationally or on the field of play.

     

     

    So, it has to be closed by perception.

     

     

    Celtic will have a stinker of a close season.

     

     

    Unsettled players, missed targets, dithering, injuries AND this latest wheeze.

     

     

    “Cool yir jets Timmy. Yir no getting that much”

     

     

    As for across the city? The usual.

    The 49ers …

     

     

    Another “vulture” looking to make a “buck”

     

     

    Am pretty sure Celtic will keep doing what Celtic do ..

     

     

    And yet again well done Aberdeen .. winning the cup it’s called sport …

     

     

    Yet again the Sevs have notched another close season cup … we should actullay appreciate “our” media

     

     

    Rinse n repeat ….
