Best wishes to Ki Sung-Yeng who joined Swansea City today. The Korean international joined Celtic in January 2010 but the subsequent arrival of central midfielder Beram Kayal, Joe Ledley and Victor Wanyama, curtailed his first-team opportunites.
Ki possesses excellent technique and can cover 50 yards as quickly as anyone at Celtic but he often failed to impose himself on games. Selling a reserve player with 15 months left on his contract for a fee of around £6m is truly remarkable. I am one of the players many admirers but I don’t know anyone who would pay anything like that money for him.
We Oscar 4 Life’ have organised a bucket collection for Dundee home game at CP on 22nd of September and require a Lorry Load of Volunteer collectors. To volunteer as a bucket collected please email us at weeoscar4life@gmail.com.

6.3k is indeed a good result for a player who was not regarded as 1st pick
Unfortunatly due to corporate errors at board level, Ki’s money has to go to pay for the mistakes of the last 4 years
Qualifying once out of 4 years for the CL is indeed a huge corporate failure for our CEO and board which has cost our club huge amounts of revenue, hence the Ki money just makes up for corportate failures
On the +ve. It’s good to get an early sat kick off 9:45pm:)
Great to watch the game in the pub
SYDNEY TIM
How you doing,bud?
You’ve been missed the last few days,some of us mineshafters had to carry on the good fight without your insightful input.
But we did our best-doubtless you’ll know who the main suspects were,haha!
I asked yesterday if people would be happy with the club saying we would spend our £25m CL money a year in arrears,on players signed and ready for the new season.
I didn’t notice any replies-maybe because they know it won’t be spent on the team,in arrears or otherwise.
Enjoy the game-I’d be too pashed at that time on a Saturday night to watch us!
By the way,I know people have been complaining about difficulty accessing things on here lately,though I had not had any problems.
Until now…..
Couldn’t get anything but the first page,and then it was telling me to tweet! This was on Chrome and IE,and on three different systems at work.
Back home-no problem!
All very strange,and driving Luddites like me paranoid,haha.
Morning Bhoys from a driech ML3.
BMCUW what happened to my wake up call????
Morning to all Tims on here and beyond!
Best of luck to the bhoys today – 3 pts against Butcher’s butchers – and, hopefully, no more injuries!
Have we bought anybody yet?
HH!!
Good morning CQN
A safe and pleasant journey to all that are travelling to and from
Inverness today
Come on you Bhoys in Green and White
Keep the Faith
Hail Hail
Bobby. Pashed on a sat night
Not like you
Did not want to really comment on some of the downright spin coming out from some sources
But 25% success in qualify in failure in my book
Hamilton. How’s the CQN wean getting on :)
You are one of the best young ones on the site and do have a balanced view
HAMILTON TIM
Itexted you about 24hrs asking if youwanted my patented TIMTIME alarm call,and what time for,but I didn’t receive a reply.
Mind,as one or two people noticed,my phone was on it’s period yesterday,doing it’s own thing.
Upshot-if I missed your reply,I am genuinely sorry.
I really should join the 21st Century wi a Smartphone,but I actually like my talk/text relic.
Enjoy yer day,stay oota the wind-don’t want those crimped locks getting a battering!
Just saw Neil on SSN there rubbidhing Butcher’s suggestion that the team would be on a 45-min flight to Inverness,”We bussed it last week,we’ll be bussing it this week”
When asked why,he said “Can’t afford it. Dunno. You shouldn’t be asking ME that….”
Hmmmmmmmmmmmm……………………….

Aye,that’ll be me. A measure of my inebriation is posted on here,you can see the quality going down faster than the contents of my beer fridge.
And one of those comparisons starts from a very low point indeed.
Sometimes I don’t post at all,because I’m out.
Sometimes I don’t post at all,because I’m out….for the count!
Not yet decided which way it’s gonna go today. Early start in an hour,meeting a few lads,Celtic game. Man U v Fulham.
That takes me through till 5pm-I play it by ear after that!
Good morning friends from a gery, overcast but currently dry (and mild) East Kilbride. A beautiful morning for a run. But first, breakfast and a scroll through the nightshift…
Jobo
Morning Jobo , been a sunny spring day in the South Pacific. Enjoy your run , I am just on my way out to a party. Mrs T says we are to leave before I turn into a pumpkin so I should be home in time to catch CQN game comments. Keep the faith bhoys and ghirls enjoy the game if you are on your way up to the highlands. 6 Million for a fringe player with one year left on contract is a great bit of biz. Next weeks game is the prize and the biggest game we have had in many years. C’mon the hoops. ICT 1 Celtic 2 . Paddy scoring both goals.
Cycling cheat Lance Armstrong has taken advice from the SFA he will now be known as
The Lance Armstrong
the stench of cheating wont go away but he will keep his titles.

6.3k for Ki.. Jeezo No Wonder You don’t Understand PL’s Selling Policy..

Just noticed your earlier post,sorry.
You mentioned earlier in the week you were popping “home” for a bit. Any idea when?
I’m heading up for a fortnight at the start of October,and again mid-January. If you’re around and allowed out to play,we’ll ry to find a Celtic-friendly pub near you for a beer.
ABSOLUTELY no point trying to find one near me,of course!
Just reading the night shift.
Well done to all who have volunteered. Lorry is 1/5th full. Plenty of room Bhoys n Ghirls. Plenty of room.
2 funnies I picked up fae last night:

Bundoran Bhoy,
you know id put ma name down, but don’t want to in the likely event that i will be away and then have to pull out…………….as you know id never hear the end of it from certain people!!
Id much rather be able to tell you at the last minute that unexpectedly i am able to help out !
HAIL! HAIL!
:-))))))))
TTTT – Just put yourself down as a mystery volunteer for noo.
C’mon the hoops.
I predict a comfortable 0-3 victory today.

Morning,
Ian Black says abuse from fans is spurring him on. Did not realise he was getting pelters from the fans of East Fife & East Stirling!
Stupid Huns. lol!
Che @ 8.02
Excellent!

I gather you were kicked out of the inaugural CQN Whisky-sampling meeting.
As per our recent conversation,was it the third half which had you on your back?
Or did it have you on your toes?
Morning all!
First saturday off in ages and life has taught me that a long lie can never be achieved with a 2 year old in the house.
Roll on coupons and pints later
2-1 and Forrest for the good guys today
Hail Hail
BMCUW
Howdy!
Had to pop out for some ‘messages’.
Hoping to come over now between 17-27 October. I believe that is about the time you will be over.
Be great to try and meet up – ‘though ‘Celtic friendly pubs’ are a bit thin on the ground in my neck of the woods! There are quite a few Tims ‘though!
RSVP!
HH!!
Right that’s me away to the golf now.
Last night I changed my name to The Seve Ballesteros, so I’ll be playing the medal at Cawder off plus 6.
Now that I have won 6 majors I should shoot a course record. The only down side will be, I’ve never played the CQN Open at Aberdour, TBB and me didn’t win the Celticlover Cup, never met all you guys but at least I never got pumped by BlantyreKev in the match play.
Hail Hail
EC67
Sorry I mean Seve.
Popping out for a couple of beers now – well it is 10 o’clock here, and the bars have been open since 6!
Cin cin!!
HH!!
See you in 2 weeks The Seve haha
Morning all from gay Paree, pleasant enough now but thunderstorms later, aledgedly.
Is there a problem with the site at the moment?
Couldn’t get on at first (IE), couldn’t see the logon button just loads of “tweet” signs all over the page. Finally, logged on using Chrome.
Always liked Ki and feel he could have been useful for us in Europe this year.
However, when you’re a club that pays its taxes, hard decisions must be made to keep the finances on an even keel.
Hopefully, today we can keep the momentum going with a win at ICT.
Butcher will have his hammer throwers up for this as usual. So Neil will have the difficult task of balancing his resources and effort between this game and Wednesday’s qualifier.
Ideally, 3 points and no more casualties and we can start to look forward to Wednesday.
Hail Hail
TALLYBHOY
Tight,buddy,tight.
I head back on the 20th,so the Thursday or Friday looks a strong possibility.
Let me know nearer the time,pick a place,and I’ll be there.
If it is in the old catchment area for St Micks,I expect I will know it.
If I don’t,my Dad certainly will,haha!
ChipofftheoldblockCSC
Mornin bhoys and ghirls, I see conner wickham is gettin linked with a loan move 2 Blackburn, what do we think Jordan Rhodes still a possibility?? Safe journey 2 all the bhoys and ghirls headin 2 Inverness,2 nil 2 the champions and no injuries hopefully
Hail hail
Thats me up for a little tinkle. Well done those bhoys half way there already thanks for your efforts.
I dont see any quotes from Ki even mentioning Celtic ?
And I see Toshney has went out on loan. Back home to Dundee I believe. Another 1st team Sqaud centre back departure.
Ah well alarm set for another two hour kip.
HH
Morning all,
I see the bigots have even surfaced in cycling, that poor Lance Armstrong.
Where will the unseen fenian hand of MachiaLawwellvelli strike next?
*shudders*
On my way to Inversnekkie
c’mon the hoops
Andy from Scotzine the only honest journalist left.
@scotzine: So doping could lead to Lance Armstrong one of the greatest cyclists ever to be stripped of his titles. But financial doping does not?
@scotzine: Cheating is cheating after all no matter how you cut it.
@scotzine: Using substances to enhance yourself to win or spending money beyond your means and cheating the system to sign players to enhance your team to win titles. Same thing.
Those in control may be the ones who implemented it but @scotzine: The players benefited from it and so did the club.
@scotzine: And all parties should be punished if found guilty no matter if they are the greatest cyclist or one of the biggest sides in country
I see that tactical genius Craig Levein is saying it’s a long way back for Kris Commons to get into the Scotland team. Good!
Keep him fit and fresh for us and Levein can always turn to Black.
It looks like any signings will be next Thursday/Friday, could be a busy couple of days. With Rhodes now linked with Fulham, I’d love to see Johnny Russell at Celtic Park.
Is Connor Wickham any good?
Hail Hail
Petec Hitler was Time magazines man of the year once 1938 and the in the words of Time it goes to the person/group that “for better or worse has done most to influence events of that year”
C’mon the hoops.
Think it’ll be a close call but I’ll go for 1-0 hooper to score.
Always difficult for us against Butcher’s cloggers. Lots of question marks about team selection, with injuries and Wednesday in mind. I suspect Paddy might get a start today and ole Bang Bang Bangura might get at chance to kick start his Celtic career again.
This twitter rubbish is really annoying – just managed to sneak past them all there….
