With the arrival of Dedryck Boyata, Jozo Simunovic and Erki Sviatchenko over the last 12 months, Charlie Mulgrew must have wondered if he would be offered a new contract which his current deal expires next month. Especially so considering how little football he’s played in recent years.
An incoming manager would be excused for looking at his squad and thinking Charlie was surplus to requirements, but, as we have touched on in recent weeks, the story of Celtic’s defence is more complicated.
Erik has been an unqualified success, but Jozo missed most of the season through injury, while Dedryck and Efe Ambrose suffered unfortunate (cough) spells of form. Charlie is a few years past his Player of the Year prime, but he’s a reliable consistent defender, who I’d have in the team before Efe or (Euros bound) Dedryck.
We have a bloated squad and need to move players on, but it’s no surprise Brendan Rodgers let Charlie know he wanted him to stay. He’s the right player to occupy third or fourth spot in the central defensive roster. We’ll wait and see if Jozo can grab second spot.

The smell lingers on.
I’m content that Chaz M may still be with us next season. Charlie can be a very capable central defender for us and we always need back up in that area, an area we’ve had issues with in recent times. He’s experienced and knows what’s required.
His days anywhere near the midfield are over.
BGX,
20p for 5 minutes of air these days!!!!
GG,
Indeed it does. Unfortunately.

Ceiler,
I agree but keeping him fit for a period of time has been a problem lately.
Evening/morning all. Got a cuppla texts earlier on my phone quoting a Stewart Robertson. Who is he?
News reaches us that a man wearing a magic hat has been spotted deep underground in a tunnel formerly inhabited by CQN mineshafters.
Reports can’t be confirmed as the mineshafters haven’t been seen in the tunnels since last Friday’s announcements from CP.

The Escape Goats have formed a band and are releasing the following singles:-
We Goatta get out of this place
Goat my Mojo working
Goatta Get Away
Goat to get you into my life
I’ve Goat you babe
I’ve Goat you under my skin
Goat to go my own way
Baby Goat Back
I goat the power
You really Goat me
You’ve Goat your troubles
========================
Excellent ;)).
Being of the rave generation, however, I prefer the less sublte, lesser-pun oriented but still completely fitting, ludge dancefloor classic by Technotronic: ‘Pump Up The Goat’…
Did anyone (other than me) think that Bob Dylan is 75 year old? Ffs.
Jimbo, that’s a given. If he cant stay fit for cameo appearances then……………….. Lots of great CB’s crack on into auld age. Carlos Puyol being one of my favourites,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,except when he played against us.

Sandman, this is Dave King’s favourite surfing goat, wee sparky. He takes wee sparky everywhere. Just after the film and out of shot the bold dave chases wee sparky up into the dunes and pumps the poor wee fella rotten. Its a pure shame, so it iz.

Huns and thur goats are no easily separated, unless you’ve got a crowbar handy.
Ceiler,
Plenty of players played on in later years but Charlie has struggled a bit lately. Hopefully gets back and is always available. Valuable to have.
Totally different player, position etc but Daniel Sturridge, I just don’t get that guy at all.
Lots of talent but blames his parents, grand parents for his injuries. A lot of it in his mind?
I see one of the golf courses at Sandy Lane is called the Green Monkey.

I’m very well my Hoopy fiend. Hope you and the family are all good? I had the wee yin to her first Celtic match a few weeks ago against the sheep. She loved it.
Dramming you say? I like the odd glass – eleven’s an odd number, innit? :-))
JimBob – Just read that about S Robertson. Ffs how can these people still exist?
Fiend? Friend! OK – may a little bit fiend..!

Beggers belief his statement. How it ever got printed is a disgrace too.
They are so sinned against but have never sinned.

Billy goat as many marches as they want. As they own the field and they are skipping all over it .
And we watch………..
Macjay, when are you back again? Sorry I missed you last time. The word I got is that you’re not as much of a fud as I think you are.
That’s good enough for me:_)
Clunks,
And Falkirk helped pay for those marches.
