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.

That ref nearly never gave that
Trying to watch Norman Stanley’s performance tonight. At the mo ment, I’d be inclined to keep my money in my pocket.
Jobo, I’m in row 7 just to the right of the tunnel, seats 3&4, see you there.
HT, I’m a half marathon man, so I’ll run and run and run:-)
And now they should have 10 men. Ref decides to bottle it.
Go on the Mackems.
Get intae this shower of Manc scum.
Did Provan say that penalty was a bit too high?
Too high for whit Davie? :))
LennyBhoy, sorry mate don’t know, I’m not on the scheme, I buy when they come out.
Probably shouldn’t I think I’m supposed to get them on the bus.
Doc,
any time there have been home cup ties where the season tickets are sold on a ‘choose your seat’ basis I’ve always tried to get front main stand centre line. This’ll be my 4th time in my ‘alternative’ own seat. A fantastic view of both the game and any dug out histrionics. If I start the singing do you promise to join in?
Ki showing a bit of dig there.
Documentary on Keane and Viera on again at 10.30 ITV tonight.
Have seen it worth a watch,’
You can get 14/1 on Man Utd with 20 mins left.
Just saying…
Right moaning bassas these Man U players when things don’t go as they would have it
I always join in the singing, that’s why my own seat is up near the GB.
Well it was, hope it will be again soon.
TET
Aye, he brought 2, one for me and one for the bhoy.
If the bugger dram’d less and didnae smoke, he’d look younger than 55.
Better to burn out, than to fade away :-)

Tickets bought for the Aberdeen cup game.
Going to have a wee seat in the main stand, just for a change, years since I was in there.
Can I wear jeans?
Aye,but nae flares….:}
Altidore seems to have been watching the Lee McCulloch DVDs.
GREETINGS FROM GREECE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sad to hear Sammi will leave CP.
Sad to read some bad comments about Sammi.
Sammi was and will be a totally devoted Celt.
A CL class player.
Passed team to another level.
Gave team millions with his contribution over the past two years in CL.
Some great memories.
I think one of the best Sammi’s play was home against Karagandy.
He had the eye of the tiger, one goal and every time he had the ball, Karagandy was in panic.
If Sammi leave Celtic will loose much more than some of you are thinking of.
That will be Fletcher off injured for another 6 weeks….
Bada, I always wear flares, ever since 1973!
Sad but true.

Good, hopefully put speculation to bed.
Muppet Moyes shows his tactical genius by bringing on Darren Fletcher.
Game changer right enough…..probably end up 3-1.
Cheating barstewards should be down to 10 men as well…….grrrrrrrr
S Fletcher has failed his audition!

Correct….!!!!!!!!
Fletcher is not worth a bid, given his injury record. Mibbes an unlucky boy.
labis. I think most of the Celtic support would agree with your post.However,the decision to leave or stay will be down to Sammi it is his choice. H.H.
Fletcher….no way
*waves to Jobo*
Bada bing
don’t worry, celtic have organised a doctor for the medical. The guy who did the flying Dutchman s medical works for a reasonable fee.
The way Wayne Routledge went past Darren Fletcher to cross for Swansea’s winner at Old Trafford?
Time to give up Daz……He makes Giggs look like a teenager.
4/1 the draw.

Yeah he’s a prime example of business we should not ever be doing. A big waste of our hard earned resources.
Swalex is at the game. A minimum of 10 minutes will be added.
Backs to the wall for Sunderland.
The cosy little cabal of Sralex,Fat Sam Allardyce and Moyes.
Ferguson has influenced their appointments into jobs all through their careers.
Think they might be missing their auld boozy nosed mate’s influence now.
