Georgios Samaras journey over the last twelve months has been astonishing. The player was subject to treatment by those who enjoying booing at the football and suffered the indignity of being subject to an exchange at last year’s AGM which must have made it difficult to rebuild confidence and form.
Now he is the most effective man in the team. He was involved in six out of Celtic’s eight Champions League qualifier goals. He has found his position, wide on the left, where he scores and creates more goals than he ever did as part of a forward two. The space on the wing allows those long legs to stretch and get behind defenders.
I’m not paying too much attention to the scare stories which emerged from Latvia last night following his elbow injury, we will need to wait on the results of a scan to know the extent of the damage, but there is modest alarm ahead of our opening Champions League group game against Benfica in 11 days.

Great time in Cyprus.
Spent a superb day visiting the local wineries in the mountains.
On way back started singing the Celtic song.
Our driver says ‘Sammaras’ !

Paddy Power and Subway at the cross now. Oh the joy!! o))
I thought Yogi was our best player in Milan.
He bust a gut trying to win that medal.
I felt more sorry for him that night than any other player.
One muddy night at Tannadice, Jimmy Millar tried to stop John bursting through the middle of the park.
He had a hold of his jersey , but Yogi charged on, dragging the ex huntrough the mud, literally ploughing with him.
He was still holding on to him as Yogi planted the ball in the back of the net.
I too remember the headed goal against Third Lanark.
March 1962, if I recall.
The crew cut Yogi nearly burst the net fromabout six yards.
Djbee sorry for your loss
Jobo,
God rest your mammy’s soul!
No matter what age,she’s still your mammy!
A hard blow to take.
HH
Right they’re onto the hun songs now …FFS !

Ghuys….totally off topic…..I left Newton Mearns last Thursday to drive to The Algarve. Before hitting the M8 I spotted 2 regular speed cop cars and 1 non marked. Since then I’ve seen none, nada, zilch, hee haw. I’m now in Rouen in France and I don’t expect to see 1 until probably the M8 or M77. In France I’m allowed to do 80 mph and in Spain and Portugal 75 mph. Didn’t see one accident. I think these countries put police efforts into catching REAL criminals while ours are more interested in making money out of motoring fines. Does ma box in

It’s taken you a long time to get no very far, when do you think you will get to the Algarve :>)))
I see they’re now ramping up the debate on giving people the ‘right to die’ …….. they can try to justify it on compassionete grounds as much as they like, but how much of the reason for this ‘development’ is politically / economically based…..?
More people living longer …..? Heavy burden on NHS …. ?
Emus
Likeways my old chum.
You showed me the light and i followed.
I’ve never looked back.
HH

Do you recall our european trip when at PT to the EU ?
How mental was that ?

“What credit have Celtic had for reaching 2 European cup finals.”
As little as you’d expect from a media who consider Scotland winning a glorified friendly at Wembley in 1967 to be the event of that year.
They’ll never get over Celtic’s European success – that’s what makes it all the more enjoyable.
That goal on his debut for Crystal Palace was an absolute cracker!
HH!!
See if I went to a Scotland game should I shout at wee naebalance. Dive ya wee divin ba88tard?
Emus……see my following post…..
Under age first time in pub memories.
Mine was in Shawlands Doune Castle when I asked for a round of drinks. Consisting of half a lager shandy / Sweet stout / cider & babysham. Barman said ” Ok…got that….noo eff off an’ come back when yer 18!”
My friends offered two more
1. Pint of Beer please barman
2. Barman “yes….what can I get you” to which the reply came “what have ye got?”!!
N ah don’t mean following that last wan….. Which of course would be this wan….which ah want ye tae see so that ye will refer tae the post that ahm talkin a…..boot….right that’s it. Bedtime
GGH,
I don’t think anybody who saw Yogi in full flight has ever seen anything like him. Sammi comes nearest. When he was in the mood, no one could stop him, by fair means or foul. No one, however, knew when that was going to be. In Milan against Feijenoord, as has been said, he was the best Celtic player on the park. I can’t imagine Mr Stein moved him on because of that. There were many more that night who let the side down. Mind you, Feijenoord, in Big Wim Van Hanegem, had one of the finest left sided midfield players I have ever had the pleasure to watch.
Is 31003 on the road to ruin?

I was telling tales of that at Inverness. Mind we got a carry out cos bar was closing? Only bottled beer. Nae opener. You tried opening a bottle on a pedestrian crossing box and broke the neck. I tried opening on my teeth and ripped my lip. Cue blood pishin fae my mooth, you wi a broken bottle when the Luxembourg polis pull up ;-)
Smashy……thoat you’d be in yer kip efter aw rat manyooel laybur n nat…….know
