It’s good to be back. A power outage at our datacentre on Saturday caused servers to crash and subsequent database problems. Our thanks to Andrew in Belfast for his invaluable help, again…
Trying hard to ignore speculation of various players coming our way, plenty of time for that later in the month, although I will add a note of caution. The fact that a journalist gets confirmation from Neil Lennon that he is able to sign a £6m player does not constitute a promise to do so. It’s little more than bait, for those who still read such sources.
I’ve heard nothing but good things over the years about Georgios Samaras. He is a player who flourishes on confidence, and support, and does so most often at the highest level. In Europe he is Celtic’s out-ball, a player capable of bringing others into the game, turning defence into attack. It is at this rarefied atmosphere that his goal-scoring has also been most effective. Ironically his style is less effective in the SPFL, where Celtic spend far less time 80 yards from goal.
A considerable reason for the low return in the Champions League this season was that everyone knew how reliant we’d become on Georgios. He was heavily marked; by the time the ball got to his feet, three opponents triangulated around him.
It’s no surprise he has offers from Spain, and no doubt elsewhere, to consider. If he leaves I hope his lasting memories will be cheers of support, not his harsher experiences.
Definition of poor IT planning: datacentres who host their Status page at their own datacentre. “We’re down, but you can’t read this, because we’re down.”

11/5 the draw
Good Evening Friends,
I’m looking forward to when the bhoys return from Turkey.
Great run of games, from the 18th Jan through to the CQTen dinner, 5 home matches and two to visits to Edinburgh.
A time to savour being a Celtic supporter.
BTW, £15 for the Aberdeen game is brilliant, it cost me £32.50 for a ticket for my bhoy for the Murderwell match.

Indeed.
Get your money on a refereeing decision for them in the same vein
Auldheid. We have discussed this before. I do not question anything about you and the guys who put forward resolution 12. I accept your honesty and integrity and your desire to get answers from the board for the Celtic support. I as you know think you fell into a trap of the boards making and while you think there is still a chance that you will get the answers you seek I certainly dont feel confident that you will that is where you and I differ but only time will tell who is right. H.H.

I really hope Sunderland win this by a couple and then put that mob out.
Love to see them fail at everything and have 20 years in the wilderness.
Horrible club
Horrible fans.
Cannot agree with that. Have lived here for 28 years and they are no different from most fans.
In fact most of them would say Celtic are their Scottish team.
It is a City like Glasgow with a huge population of Irish diaspora over four generations.
I am no Man Utd fan. Only Cektic for me but all my in laws and even kids are Utd fans so I had to respond to that criticism.
Hail hail
Sunderland goal should make for a better 2nd half.
Ki seldom gives the ball away.
Don’ t fancy Rafael…..?And there are 2 of them.
Think SiwAwex would have been as well signing the Krankies.
HH
Ki has had a very good first half; looks the part. Good for him.
Lennybhoy
sorry 24th jan .hh
I went with ten Mancs to support Celtic at OT v Rapid Vienna and all of them have loved Celtic since.
googybhoy ♥ Celtic
Not my experience.
Celtic hating arrogant morons is all I have met
Anyway I have bet against Utd at 9/2 so come on the Macccams.
Googy
I posted criticism of Man U fans. Have had 3 really bad, heavily outnumbered encounters with their unfriendly fans. My 2nd least favourite team. :)
Man Utd fans threw a flare into the midst of the Sunderland supporters during the first half.
I’ll expect a blog from Alex Thomson shortly.
Ref Andrew Mariner in Sunderland v Man Utd game using a green whistle! That’s something I sure we’ll never see in Scotland. Hail Hail

Sorry you have had that experience but as I say living here it cannot be further from the truth.

Just tried to bet Man Utd to win 7/2…just as Vidic powers one in …Rubbage
More stupid / dangerous smoke – bombs, this time at the ManU game….
HT
With reference to Millwall thuggery
PYayr
Took over 2.5 goals 13/8, seconds later Vidic scores, hopefully.
HH
Flares at the fitba again! They’ll be smuggling in platforms and Oxford bags next.

I hope our young bhoys win tonight.
I don’t think the people running that team have excelled this season. It’s ridiculous to be three, four and five games behind the rest of the league.
ManUtd, tonight is the first of a two-legged semi-final. Are we all on the same page?

David Murray bought rangers from Lawrence Marlborough. Murray sold rangers to Craig Whyte. Why no mention of these people @ companies house?
Googy, half of your erchie big Bhoy.

Still make it with three days to spare…:)
Keep the Faith!
Hail Hail!
Last word on Manchester is that everyone despises Rangers especially the GMP who will never allow them back in the City for friendlies or testimonials.
Pen for Sunderland!!
Pen!
2-1 Sunderland. Which is nice.
2-1 Wooft
