Last night when Neil Lennon told BBC Radio Scotland that Norwich’s second offer for Gary Hooper was “not as high as £6m” and that despite reports, the club had not tabled a fresh contract offer to the player, you would be forgiven for thinking the entire transfer saga was a product of fantasy.
Neil also confirmed Gary’s contract offer from Celtic is due to expire on 1 February, when I understand the player’s current representation deal also expires.
None of this counts where it really matters. Gary continues to perform like a player on top of this game. St Mirren next, then he can start the countdown to Juventus. Put the Italians in their place and he will attract attention from more than a plucky green and gold tribute act.
A corner of Glasgow stood still today to bid farewell to Sean Fallon. Sean’s 19 grandchildren delivered touching bidding prayers while son Sean recounted many of the times and habits which shaped his father’s life. It was a fitting tribute to such a great life, marked by sincere and loving words from Sir Alex Ferguson.

Must be a lot of Liverpool fans stomping their tiny wee feet at the thought of 35 million quid spent on a wardrobe…

Then again starry they stole, sorry, sold the Spanish wonder boy to chelski for £50M so I’m sure that must have soften the blow. ;o)

top 10?
Eastern seaboard nearly 9am on a bitterly cold minus 10C before wind chill.
Sir Alex Ferguson has come up in my estimation of him in the last couple of years.
Having read a few Norwich site this morning it appears that the second offer was for the same amount but they had just adjusted how the payments were made.
Seems a sure way to pi55 off the selling club to me so…. keep it up NC!

PS – My throat is still burning from that curry. You are Mr Asbestos gullet!!!
Aye…..Swalex is either working an incredible piece of fakery, or he is proving to be a really decent human being.
An auld cynic like me would like to believe it’s the latter.
So I’ll try.
I’m coming into the pits….Beep Beep
What is it about Celtic that attracts men of character and stature to Celtic Park?
Is it our roots? Or our ethos?
Does the club bring out the best in men who grow in the hoops?
In my lifetime I can recite a litany of giants.
How sad that at times the club has treated them rather shabbily.
We stand on the shoulders of giants.

The insanity of the EPL although I like Torres as a player..
I would give my eye-teeth to be 42 again….that is, if I had any eye-teeth left.

Paul 67 –
All these media outlets reporting the Spurs boss was up watching Gary Hooper and Tottenham insist Andre Villas-Boas was not in Scotland last night.
Anyone would think the media are making up this stuff…

“Put the Italians in their place…”.
I quite agree!
Juventus are a good side, but certainly not invincible.
Deepest condolonces to the family of Sean Fallon – a true Celtic legend. Posted on here the other day how my old dad – who is 88 – maintains that Sean was the hardest player he ever saw.
I reminded him earlier today that Sean was being buried, and he said: “God rest his soul. I’ll soon be joining him!” (!!!).
HH!!

Afternoon all
I was at Christ the King today for Sean’s Funeral. Lovely service and genuinely touching. Also very humbling to be nodded to by Stevie Chalmers and called ‘sir’ by wee Bertie.

Bom dia,
See I managed to screw up one of my Libertadores qualifier predictions last night when Leon struggled to a 1-1 with Deporte Iquique in Mexico. Hopefully, I’ll be better tonight.
We’ve got the second round of Carioca games here and there’s hell on as the games will be kicking off at five o’ clock tonight. Reason being that the (council owned) stadiums where the games are being played have not got floodlights (or more accurately they do – they just don’t work). Nothing like a bit of forethought is there?
Felipão announced his first Brasil squad yesterday and the big surprises are the inclusion of yesteryear’s heroes – Julio Cesar and Ronaldinho. Full squad is:-
Keepers
Diego Alves (Valencia)
Júlio César (QPR)
Full Backs
Daniel Alves (Barcelona)
Felipe Luis (Atletico de Madrid)
Adriano (Barcelona)
Centre Backs
David Luiz (Chelsea)
Leandro Castán (Roma)
Dante (Bayern de Munique)
Miranda (Atlético de Madrid)
Midfielders (Holding)
Arouca (Santos)
Ramires (Chelsea)
Paulinho (Corinthians)
Midfielders (Attacking)
Hernanes (Lazio)
Lucas (PSG)
Oscar (Chelsea)
Ronaldinho Gaúcho (Atlético-MG)
Strikers
Neymar (Santos)
Hulk (Zenit)
Luis Fabiano (São Paulo)
Fred (Fluminense)
Brasil play England in London, 06 Feb. They also have games against Italy (Geneva, 21 Mar), Russia (London, 25 Mar), England (Maracanã, 02 Jun) and France (Porto Allegre, 09 Jun) lined up for the first part of this year.
Riquelme followers will be pleased to know that the Palmeiras negotiations have hit a wobble. Juan Roman is apparently waiting on a counter offer from Glasgow, where he hears that Fourth division games bring (nearly) record breaking crowds.
Aye, right…
Até mais…
Sean Fallon : unique. Often imitated, but no one could ever do ‘hard’ with such charm, grace and style.
The rarest of men, a true legend in his own lifetime. A wonderful servant to Celtic F.C.
” Here’s to us! Who’s like us!? No one! They’re aw deid! ”
HH! That Mhan!
R.I.P. Sean Fallon.

MockSport – Big-spending Gretna have joined the queue to sign contract rebel Gary Hooper from Celtic. Hooper is keen to play in England and Gretna offers an opportunity to move the player closer to his dream switch.
Ghod……is that the time?????
Paul, have we moved to CET or have all my clocks stopped?
