Adam Matthews has been on top form this season, his pace and partnership with Mikael Lustig have been unfailing for Celtic, so Neil Lennon will clearly feel robbed at a top players injury-enforced absence for three months.
It could be worse.
An injury to Forster, Ambrose, van Dijk or Izaguirre would be difficult to accommodate but we are not short of right side-midfield options. James Forrest is now back from injury and although Derk Boerrigter joined as a left-sided player, he has already featured on the right for Celtic. If Boerrigter plays on the left Samaras, Commons and Stokes can all feature on the right.
One man’s cloud is another’s silver lining, just ask Beram Kayal, who kept Victor Wanyama on the bench until he was injured in December 2011. Victor got the run in the team he needed and never looked back.
Signing van Dijk was a response to an unexpected transfer request/not in the right frame of mind to pull a jersey on statement from Kelvin Wilson, but the major planned summer activity was to inject pace into the team for Champions League games, specifically through Boerrigter and Pukki. For various reasons we’re not there yet, maybe Ajax at home later this month will change that.
Blown away by the 1254125 donations, which have flooded in since Friday. Each donor, from those who donated £5 to the several who gave £125 (like it!) are a credit to the spirit of those whose footsteps you walk in. Promise to stop pestering with a link to the page. Soon.
Thank you.

Any lapdogs ask Myth how many shares did he buy at a penny each? Thought not,and they hold this shyster up as their hero.Stupid huns.
Have received he old dividend cheque but not yet a set of accounts of my AGM invitation.

There is a song sang by John Denver called…I’m sorry…if I knew how to copy and paste I would, but the words in it are what Walter Smith should be saying to the Sevco Mob, the words are so true, if someone posts it, it’s funny, and bang on to what is happening over at the asbestos stadium, .
Spot on
It’s cold here in the city
It always seems that way
And I’ve been thinking about you almost everyday
Thinking about the good times
Thinking about the rain
Thinking about how bad it feels alone again
I’m sorry for the way things are in China
I’m sorry things ain’t what they used to be
But more than anything else
I’m sorry for myself
‘Cause you’re not here with me
Our friends ask all about you
I say you’re doing fine
And I expect to hear from you almost anytime
But they all know I’m crying
I can’t sleep at night
They all know I’m dying down deep inside
I’m sorry fro all the lies I told you
I’m sorry for the things I didn’t say
But more than anything else
I’m sorry for myself
I can’t believe you went away
I’m sorry if I took some things for granted
I’m sorry for the chains I put on you
But more than anything else
I’m sorry for myself
For living without you

BRTH, aye coincidental all right, now can we find a common denominator between Whyte & King; now who has done business with these two?
Thanks Desert Bhoy.
Catalan papers Mundo Deportivo and Sport have front page stories today saying @FCBarcelona are looking at #Samaras as #Larsson type signing-@OHenleyAlex on twitter
I posted a few weeks ago that Samaras was truly unique in modern day football.A guy who moved to Celtic for about £1 mil less than was on his Man City contract,came thru some tough times to show amazing strength of character.He has refused numerous offers to move on for more money,saying he loves Celtic and all we have to offer.He said last month medals not money was all he wanted,he won’t retire poor.If Barcelona ,or anyone else comes calling,i would hate to see him go,but would thank him for his contribution and wish him nothing but good luck.Samaras owes us nothing ,and at 28 the chance to play in a better league,not to mention Barca !,would be too good to turn down.

“a glib and shameless liar””
========================
Think of a name, any name, that has been involved in this saga.
Such an epithet would suit all but a few.
The only exception that comes to mind immediately is Heidi Poon.

Great comment on my public petition PE01491 on the Scottish Parliament e-petition site here: http://www.scottish.parliament.uk/GettingInvolved/Petitions/judgesmasonregister
Marcello Mega a freelance journalist wrote:
We are asked to believe that judges and sheriffs are somehow superior beings, immune to bias or petty discrimination of any kind.
That is preposterous. Take a group of 200 professionals from a single body: lawyers, doctors, accountants, teachers, journalists, politicians, clergy, academics, etc, and ask the public to accept that every single one of that group of 200 is equally fair, impartial and open-minded and of course no one would believe it. But we are asked to accept that, without question, of our judges and sheriffs.
The system is out of date and does not meet the standard test that all tribunals must not only be fair impartial, they must also be seen to be such by a relatively informed onlooker.
If a judge can preside over the trial of a fellow Mason or a fellow Orangeman, having sworn the same oath to the same cause, and to the brotherhood that exists between them, without declaring it, how can that be seen to be fair?

Wow, a journalist who speaks the truth. He will never get a job in MSM Scotland.

HomeSportFootballBust clubs could face relegation
Bust clubs could face relegation
THE SPFL board are planning changes to their rulebook which could see clubs who enter administration being relegated instead of merely suffering points deductions.
By: Ewing GrahamePublished: Tue, October 8, 2013
Any such move could spell bad news for some of football’s biggest names. Rangers have just announced losses of £14.4million and former director Dave King warned in August that the club could be plunged into administration by Christmas.
Ally McCoist’s side are currently eight points clear at the top of League One after eight games but some financial analysts have claimed they may need another cash injection in order to see out the season.
Hearts currently have no idea when – or if – they may be able to exit administration. Kilmarnock are £9.8m in debt and suffering plummeting attendances as fans protest about the
running of their club by chairman Michael Johnston.
In the last 12 years, Motherwell, Hearts, Livingston (twice), Morton, Dundee (twice) and Dunfermline have slid into administration while Gretna, Clydebank, Airdrieonians and
Rangers subsequently fell into liquidation.
Prior to the SPL and Scottish League merging this summer, the two bodies had their own rules when it came to punishing clubs who failed to live within their means.
Rangers have just announced losses of £14.4million
In the wake of Rangers’ demise, the SPL introduced a set penalty which saw the offenders deducted a third of the points they had won the previous season, as well as being hit by a
signing embargo.
Hearts were the first club affected by that ruling, starting this season in the Premiership with minus 15 points after going into administration in June. In November 2010, Dundee were handed a 25-point penalty by the SFL board – who had no limit to sanctions – because they had failed to live within their means for the second time in a decade.
However, now the league bodies have merged, the SPFL board – chief executive Neil Doncaster, Eric Riley (Celtic), Duncan Fraser (Aberdeen), Stephen Thompson (Dundee United), Mike Mulraney (Alloa), Les Gray (Hamilton) and Bill Darroch (Stenhousemuir) – are updating the rules.
“That’s where the prospect of relegation comes in,” said a well-placed Hampden source.
“In the past the SPL’s hands were tied when it came to punishing clubs which suffered an insolvency event because they had authority over just the 12 members.
“Consequently, they couldn’t impose a relegated club on the SFL. Now, though, there is the opportunity to provide a 42-club solution.”
Just in to say…

One of the saddest things about the EDL is that it was founded by a bloke from Luton whose parents were Irish immigrants from Dublin.
Good to see ole SFTB sortin’ them out.

Thanks.
The untold Yifter story — his imprisonment and torture is astounding… although not nearly as astounding as how he came to run in the first place.

Re dividend,
Have yet to cash one of my 15 cheques…silly wee way of giving something back to the Club. Would much prefer extra shares. How do I go about taking shares instead of cash dividend. Was unaware of this option.
Any help welcome. Thanks in advance.
Just been to Greggs for a loaf ( honest ), noticed they’re doing gift cards. Can we all chip in and get Sally one for Christmas?
