Remember Henri Camara? Martin O’Neill paid a significant loan fee to sign him 10 years ago, in the considerable wake of Henrik Larsson. Henri flopped and soon lost his place in the team but the weight of responsibility thrust upon his frame was considerable. No one could come close to filling the gap left in the Celtic team.
Nadir Ciftci would do well to consider whose shoes he’s stepping into at Celtic. Last summer’s striker signings, John Guidetti and Stefan Scepovic could hardly muster a start the second half of the season. Leigh Griffiths, who arrived 18 months ago, got the striker’s gig most weeks, but Leigh came to Celtic with as illustrious a heritage as Nadir.
Never step into a great man’s shoes, but Nadir’s not doing that. This is the perfect time for a striker to join Celtic, I hope he has the appetite.
I see the great and the good in the media are flogging lyrical at the prospect of a prodigy arriving from Madrid. None of this has come from Celtic. The player may become available at some point but I reckon it remains a hard task convincing Real his immediate future should lie in Glasgow.

lennon’s passion
We kept the ball for a while before the goal too,

I watched that as well, thinking, why don`t they lob it up the park, A Jon Daly~esque player might* get on the end of it.
(*probably wouldn`t)

The videos doing the rounds today on social media debating if Celtic best goal in champions league.
Lennons passion
Bis Suttons volley against Juve was a peach as well mind you

La bella Italia.
Silvio ” Only stupid people pay tax ” Berlusconi has been sentenced to 3 years in prison for bribing opposition politicians to Vote Silvio in parliament . The wacko Italian legal system will now ensure that the vile Berlusconi doesn’ t serve a second of his sentence .
Some final set aT Wimbledon
11/9 to Frenchman
cowiebhoy….
Must admit, I would be on here blowing my trumpet aswell, three hours!
That’s probably takes acgr’s whole sex life into account;)
I’m out of here, before the verbals come;)

It was indeed! Some game that!
My favourite goal and has been for sometime was big bad johns screamer v Liverpool at Anfield! The celebrations of that were great still gives shivers thinking of it!
blantyre, sounds like some match. but whatever slight chance Gasquet had against Djokovic, has now gone, as he will have little left in the tank.
So, I”m expecting Federer to avenge my young countryman, Pospisil, by giving Murray a sound thrashing (before Federer, in turn, falls to Djokovi in the final).
Good evening friends and a Big Happy Holiday to, er, well, me actually.
No more ‘main’ work till 27 July, woo-hoo. And only 1 more part time shift tomorrow morning around 7.15-sh.
But first, a midweek curry washed down with a moderate amount of beer… ;-)
Jim Goodwin eat your heart out!
Now for something completely different.
Caution does contain a sweary word at the end.

Yip, about how I see it although I hope Murray prevails
My fav goal(although not cl)
Was Henrik s v boavista
My wife was on phone to her workmate: her man also Celtic.
My youngest (4years old):sleeping on the couch
Henrik scores….eruption… Mayhem…greeting weans in our house…dogs barking in the workmates house
Both women shocked at what the hell just happened in their respective households
Remember that night
Lennon’s passion
For the atmosphere alone the Scott McDonald v AC Milan and Tony Watt v Barcelona are my two favourite’s. Two great European Celtic park nights HH
BT,
How ya doing?
I see that Murray is the bookie’s favourite against Federer, which surprises me a bit.
Career head to head is about even, but I would have thought, even in his decline, Federer would be the slight favourite on grass.
Either way, should make for a good final versus Djokovic.
Federer is one of those athletes that I like to tell myself would have been a big Celtic fan had he been born in Scotland … and not just because he is catholic… he just plays like he would be a Celtic fan … a bit of flair!
Paul answers that question – what happened to the Seville money?…http://www.cqnmagazine.com/?p=6240
Doing good Mike
Still relaxed after fab holiday in Turkey

Been fortunate enough to meet the Big Chap a couple of times over here, a true gent and yer right he would be a Celtic fan, he’s quite the Basel Bhoy:))

RF is easily the second best tennis player I’ve ever seen, but a Celtic fan? Nah….too arrogant by far!

24 minutes between both versions of history. Are you sure you are not alerting level 5;-)
I can just imagine the panic in level5towers! JT blowing a gasket as he sees his future income stream disappear. “Who the f*** allowed this to be published. Get it ‘corrected'”.
Long past time we had a speakwrite machine for all things sevco.
Wee Rod Laver!
HH!!
I think Derk would overcome his injuries if he was ‘pin-fired’ – it’s a treatment for horses with ‘bad legs’ – could be the very thing to ‘straighten’ him out.
I always thought Ken Rosewall was the better flair player. Laver, Newcombe and those other Australians seemed to me to be professionals in the amateur era. Rosewall embodied the old Corinithian spirit.
Curry down, just the beer to go now. Hic ;-)

Railly Decord: Warbs set to snap up Wabara and Halliday
https://raillydecord.wordpress.com/2015/07/08/warbs-ready-to-seal-wabara-and-halliday-captures/
“Halliday has privately told friends that he will snub any offers from Premiership teams as he has been blown away by Mark Warburton’s plans for Rangers.”
BT … I’m jealous … as I have said before, Turkey is right up at the top of the list of countries I would love to see …. but just couldn’t convince KT at the moment. But am hoping that things will calm down there in the not too distant future, as I would love to see it. but glad you had such a nice time.
starry/justafan … haven’t met him, but I have to go with Starry on this one ….but, …
I still agree with Tallybhoy …. the Rockhampton Rocket is still the best ever (with Federer number 2).
Thompson twin.
if we are using horse terminology maybe we should threaten to have Derk gelded, see if that has any effect on him
Snowballs csc.

From birth till the age of 14 I stayed AT 99 Rockhampton Avenue, EK. FACT ;l-)

Although of course Ken turned professional very early in his career after 6 years on the top amateur circuit. Pretty much the same length of amateur career as Rod as it happens!
Ken was in fact one of the most high profile players to turn during the amateur era. In fact he did say he turned because he had been convinced by the professional body that the open era was just round the corner. Had he known how long it would take (he went professional in 1956) he would not have left the amateur ranks until he had won Wimbledon,which of course he never did.

I`m told,however,that he does`t tend to buy his round.

Mike…,
Got to say Istanbul underground reservoir has always been on my list
Ole Rod Laver won the Grand Slam twice:
1962 as an amateur, and 1969 as a pro.
HH!!
Not champions league,and although BBJ s goal at Annfield was indeed a screamer,and Henkes in Boavista ,with the clock ticking down ,so important ,I think the Seville dream started to become believable that night in Vigo,when BBJ shoved his marker out the road and drilled the ball into the bottom corner.
The second half onslaught was unbearable,actually left the stadium for a couple of swift voddys in the boozer right outside the stadium,went back in ,can still see big Rab and Bobo throwing themselves in front of everything.What a journey back that was.

Try and get the radio commentary for the game from shortbread, Jim Duffy is amazing but for JH’s goal he is a true Tim.

I’m sure RF is a fine upstanding citizen out with his job but I’m with Hugh MacDonald in the Herald this week regarding his press interviews of arrogance dressed as mock humility and avoiding praise of any opponent.
