Lessons from Jerry Maguire

1815

News that a striker reneged on a verbal commitment to join the club 24 hours before deadline day should surprise no one.  Think back to that line from Jerry Maguire, when Jerry’s girlfriend hears he had secured a representative deal on a handshake, not an actual contract.  The agent’s reminder of Lesson One in business was sharp.

Last minute change of plans happen, but only when you’re doing last minute business.  We are now 10 hours away from the deadline and in desperate need for what we’ve been in desperate need…. to replace the long departed Gary Hooper.  It would be wrong to think that Scepovic was the only striker we were pursuing, so we’re not starting from scratch, but he was first choice.

The ball is still in play, not panicking yet.

    Time to back the manager ? Don’t make me laugh fella. You spent the afternoon behaving like a crazy and on tonight berating a man who went through hell to bring us success as a player and manager.

     

     

    Shame on you.

     

     

    ———-

     

     

    I apologised to the other poster because my post was out of frustration that he posted about the Huns when we’re all on tender hooks on deadline day. I make no apologies for being passionate about Celtic and never will.

     

     

    I berated Neil Lennon?????

     

     

    Where????

     

     

    Please, please show where I’ve berated him?

     

     

    I await your apology.

  3. big wavy,

     

     

    We are all on tenterhooks today, if the day pans out that we have strengthened the team, here will be a good place to visit as will Celtic park.

     

     

    HT, is a good tim through and through just like yourself, some things are said in the heat of the moment and regretted later. HH

  4. Hibernian FC ‏@Hibsoficial 22m

     

     

    #Hibs can confirm #Celtic and former #Hibs striker Leigh Griffiths has returned to the club on a one year loan deal. Welcome back! #HFC

  5. Im afraid to say Andy walker certainly does speak for me.He isnt hiding his dissapointment in the manner our club are conducting themselves..we must look like a shoddy, 2bit club now.

  6. Margaret McGill on

    You’re awe wasting your energy

     

    No one with any skill is coming to Celtic

     

    Wise up! And shut the fck up

  7. HamiltonTim

  9. DU letting Gardyne go to Ross C.

     

     

    Nothing about Armstrong or Mackay-Stevens.

     

     

    Personally I’d buy Armstrong now and loan him back.

     

     

    IMO good enough to be future Celtic Captain.

  10. Sipsini

     

     

    Agreed fella I won’t labour it but let’s say selective apologies are an issue with me.

     

     

    Anyway back to the main event.

    Play LG through the middle and he will score goals, end of.

     

     

    101% agree, the wee guy, is always capable and works his socks off on the park.

     

     

    Might be an idea to buy him a house on that island in Loch Lomond though.

  12. HT,

     

     

    I never seen your post, as one eye is on the tennis, as you know castlemilk is renown for producing great tennis players…;)

     

     

    Just trying to keep things civil on here.

  13. Just seen Walker with Lenny

     

     

    Lenny did well – avoided confrontation just asked about transfers

  14. SmashingMilkBottles on

    I’m appalled by the constant use of the term “fella” used on here

     

     

    Guilty so far: James Forrest / Big Wavy / Joe Fillipis Hairdo

     

     

    Chuck it! Right?

    Early days, celtic might just bring in another 2 before the window slams shut.

     

     

    Hopefully a left back and a midfielder who attacks/creates occasionally.

  16. Lennybhoy

     

     

    Jaysus H…..

     

     

    This club knows how to do dramatic.

     

     

    I’d love that in a Kevin Keegan sort of way.

     

     

    Defender has to be a left back

    ====================================

     

    Ok. Thanks for the heads up.

     

     

    Could you let us know when we can start hoping again? I’ll look out for that.

     

     

    In the meantime, up the fck I have shut…….
