Tom Rogic is good. Very good. He has scored cup winning goals, league winning goals, scored against Newco at three different venues, and most deliciously, has scored Champions League qualification goals. That old football adage, “Yes, but can he do it when it really matters?”, is never asked about Tom.
With one year left on his existing Celtic contract, he is off with Australia to the World Cup, the most prominent shop window in the game, where good players with a one-year balance on their contracts are a premium.
The news that he signed a five-year contract yesterday has surprised many, including me. One week ago today, when I asked a ‘senior source at Celtic’ the prospects or retaining his services, I was not encouraged. “The money on offer in England……..”
This deal is an endorsement of the direction the club is heading from within the dressing room. Players know where the club is going, Tom knows. That’s why he has signed. I am sure his contract reflects his ability, but I am also sure he could have earned more elsewhere. And five years!! That’s nearly a Jim McLean!
Good luck tomorrow, Tom, let’s have a repeat of last season’s Cup Final.

Dennis Irwin and Roy Keane
Afternoon all
Not been on for a week. Hope all well.
Is the 4th Scot Michael Stewart?
Glad Rogic T is staying for a while yet. A joy to watch when his eye is in- if he stays fit (and up for it) he can get us 20 plus goals a season.
Tomorrow a chance to exorcise a ghost of many years past- I was there when we last attempted the Double Treble in 1970 and that remains a bitter memory.
If M’well try and see what they can get away with early on and get away with it I think we could be in trouble. But this season we have tended to play really well every 3 to 4 games. We are due.
Mon the Hoops.

I had the pleasure of sitting next to you in Cristiano Ronaldo’s CR7 boozer in Lisbon last year, watching the FTSFA Cup Final. After I had stopped jumping about mental at Tom Rogic’s winner, I turned to cuddle you. You had the hugest smile on your face and tears streaming down your cheeks. Will never forget that magical, spiritual moment Billy. Will be thinking of you tomorrow mi amigo.
God bless you wee man.

Cheers Jummy
Speakimg of missing posters, but specifically posters who are missed ( aye Corkcelt, your one of them ), anyone heard anything from/about Tontine Tim, one of the walking Celtic Encyclopaedias?
Not seem anything from him for a wee while. ?
Jimmy!!!
BATEENBHOY
Correct,been a while.
And I was thinking just that about MELBOURNEMICK too.
I’ll mail the latter,if anyone can mail TT,please do so.
Btw,it’s about 4am in Melbourne. Mick should just be swinging his way home!!!
Gooooooooooooooooooooood evening, friends.
‘Twas the night before Christmas……. ;-)

Tontine is my favourite poster on here. His West Dunbartonshire and Celtic memories are awesome. I have asked him to write a book, a few times. Hope he is well. Miss his tales.
HH
had a wee chuckle listening to Clyde there. A Celtic caller reckons Rogic signing on will give the team a boost.
Then I though, what if they hear what his new wage is!!!
Gene, Jenson is a cracker.
Woof Woof
Hi Bhoys
Ian Brown mentioned earlier here’s my favourite.
Unfortunately very apt for what’s happening in Palestine just now.
