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.”

the repeated use of phrases such as “it is believed” , “sources say” and “question marks over” usually mean the writer has no factual evidence and is trying to whip up a story where none exists.
I smell Brown stuff.

VVD has been a revelation – our best CB since Paul Elliot, imo and I would be gutted if he were to leave so soon after joining us.
He is still only 22, and his best years are yet to come. I hope that several more of those years are with Celtic.
HH!!

itn news on the flare(s) at sunderland-man u
the man u fans “celebtrated in continental style”
no greetin, no fish-wives, no over the top condemnations, no hanging of their ultras
Exactly.If Celtic were not acting in a panic and worrying about the ridiculous over the top headlines in our septic MSM”£10,000 worth of damage”etc,then it becomes a bit more sinister.Were our board just waiting on a chance to act?.Considering the fact that up until now no GB members have been charged with anything,and do not seem likely to be,it behoves our club to say something on the matter.The vast majority want the GB back.
Surely Celtic could do what a lot of Italian teams do and inspect any banners beforehand.It works in Italy.Not a great deal of effort required to bring back some atmosphere to a morgue like Celtic Park.
From MTHForum twitter.
Celtic fans, it would appear, are now being attacked from the ‘inside’, but commissioned by who? That is the question.
An FFin’ taskforce. We’re in bother now:
“In light of the breaking and brilliant work done by trs i suggest our own ff task force to get this moving on a larger scale and not let this pass!!
What i suggest is people with some time day or night keep this story alive!
I think we would need a core of around 50 trustworthy bears and every little helps like posting links to make it easy for others to contact the relevant people to start putting and keep pressure on this story!!
Start with twitter,fb,online news comments emailing mp’s,gcc other ideas are welcome and would be greatly appreciated!!
Who is in??
The Clumpany twitter he he.
Hearing Sevconians are raging that not only have Celtic bought land, but they are rubbing Sevco’s nose in it by having GREEN grass on it.

I’m not going to start worrying until they understand the difference between a ‘debt facility’ and a ‘debt’.

The Lennoxtown Initiative was a partnership between the local community and two main public sector authorities – NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde and East Dunbartonshire Council.
The Initiative was set up circa 2003 to improve the local area and to encourage development/ utilization of the former Lennoxtown Castle Hospital Site.
Glasgow City Council were never part of the remit.
Are that ‘The Rangers international FC AKA Sevco Mob’ not just a little obsessed!
MWD
Whataboutery time – how much did they pay for the land to build the Ticketus Training Arena (fka murray park)?
Moonbeams, their grandchildren will be obsessed with Celtic too, just in a different way:-)
I love the sound of straw clutching Sevconians in the morning!
World Cup 2022 to be held November to January
Celtic and land deals?
When the club moved into the original Celtic Park in 1888 the yearly rent was £50.
Four years later the landlord tried to increase it ten-fold, but was told to GTF!
The club was able to buy the adjacent land and a new CP arose.
HH!!
Morning Timland from a sunny hun free mountain valley.
This story re the land deals will only escalate, I would have thought that the club would have their lawyers on it.
Yer man Graham is obsessed, a lawyers letter would stop him in his tracks.

Can’t see VVD dwindling ,he is genuine class.
The 2022 World Cup will now be known as the 2022/23 World Cup.

CP is not a morgue…..now ipox?…..that is another matter….hahahahahaha
If no-one is charged, then the GB should be given one more chance to behave themselves….

you have mail.
I see that the two Twitter Trolls who threatened the Jane Austin campaigner online are likely to face jail time.
One was called Nimmo – wonder if he was `drunk as a lord’ at the time he did it? :-)
Meanwhile back in Bon-nae Schottland – a Zombie fan who tweeted an abusive post about Neil Lennon has been cleared of committing an offence. He was the first person to be charged with the OBFTC act. He tweeted – “I wish someone would kill that ugly ginger, I should’ve planned my parcel bombs better.”
Sheriff Reid found him Not Guilty.

Bollox…..if the price is right, we will sell VVD……that’s the only strategy for ANY Club in the SPFL……but the price would need to be over £10m, IMO….
hun skelper
shurrelly his team wont be playing in 2022
but if they are i hope he is still in charge :-))
Here’s a radical idea.
Award the 2022 World Cup to one of the other countries who applied to host it: USA, Australia, Japan or South Korea.
…and hold it in June/July during the close season.
Crazy – I know!
HH!!

As you know, normal rules and behaviour doesn’t apply to them.
I think they are in a permanent multi-facet Denial-Anger-Bargaining-Depression stage.
And certainly a long way from Acceptance.
;o)
I see the Media House presence on the site has increased significantly. Did someone mention
money and laundering in the same sentence?
