Before we get down to less important matters, let me know, did you buy Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas?
There are so many reasons to be cynical about football people (players, directors and fans alike) in the modern era it is scarcely worth listing them but occasionally a pillar of strength comes along and changes all the rules.
This morning’s headlines that Georgios Samaras has attracted interest from an English slumbering giant is reason enough to highlight the dedication of this model professional. Georgios arrived at Celtic on loan in January 2008 and was instrumental in the historic league win that year. When he completed his permanent transfer from Manchester City he took an enormous cut in wages because he wanted to be a Celtic player.
Thanks for the great support for the CQN Annual. You can order online here, time is running out for shipping before Christmas!
His talent and effectiveness has meandered, a bit like those looping runs he would go on with the ball, since then and for a while he was subject to considerable abuse from ‘supporters’. At one point he had the chance to leave but his message to Celtic was simple, ‘If you want me to stay, I’ll stay and fight for my place. This is my club’.
The story of the rebirth of Celtic is also the story of the rebirth of Georgios Samaras. He is the epitome of the modern footballer: strong, skilful and intelligent, he would get into any top squad in Europe.
There is no chance of him going to England, Celtic will not sell him and even if they accepted a bid, the player shows no inclination of wanting to leave. He is currently prime candidate for Player of the Year and is our most feared player in the Champions League.
You have six days to buy Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas in support of Celtic Charity and Teenage Cancer. This is what we’re all about, don’t talk to me about football until I hear from you on the subject that really matters.

Looking at the shortlist for the BBC African player of the year award, I don’t see Efe or Victor mentioned.
The award has been devalued anyway — El Spitter Diouff won it in 2002.
I dont know what the latest turmoil at ibroke is abt but some of the employees are in for a right shock when they try to claim their State Pension 10 – 20 – 30yrs from now. I think they will told that thers shortfall in their contributions due to Mr Whytes thievery of their contributions. Some will maybe have to work extra years to be able get the full State Pension.

I’m heading down south on Thursday for a meeting. Early train down and hope to be back around 6.00pm. If you can reassure me that the streets near The Moorings(coming up the hill from Strathclyde Park) have no parking restrictions I’ll be happy with that. Quite like a wee 10 minute walk in the morning!

That keevins has no social conscience at all ……. Ranting on about the hatred between sevco and Celtic being worse than ever ……. and then, to promotr his notoriety further, calls all on twitter, twats…………base / morally bankrupt cretin ……he must never be allowed anywhere near Celtic Park…….
Yeah 67H
I totally agree, he along with the rest of HMG should be sinned died from CP
end of story I mean why should one allow such pack of parasites into ones
house who just keep turning out tripe and negative vibes against ones existence
and are also hell bent in sabotaging ones house when ones house over a
period of time is finally getting into good shape/order does not make sense
to me they can keep there poisoned shekels and there Evil Eyes out of the
equation it’s as simple as that now who needs them? Not us, not unless
one is fond in having a hole in ones head
Newcastle equalise

Great refrerences to Big John Hughes, and falling over his own feet…..
I can remember that quite well.
I think big Georgio is one of the most improved, by far in the squad, and yes maybe like yogi with hair.
His detractors, from seasons gone by, must all feel a litlle foolish now given the only person who had any faith in him was neil…..
KTF….

You can’t park on that street but if you are driving up the hill you can park on any side street left or right. I am up behind Fir Park if that helps.

Fulham back in the lead
kickinthenakas –
thanks for that. I think those side streets will be fine. But thanks for the kind offer.

No restrictions at all, no metres or wardens, orchard street is your best bet, 1st left by the moorings.

Take it that’s straw and no Davie Hay! Though could be both…..
Let sniveller keevins rant on…the more he biliously erupts, the more he reveals the inner truth of himself, a vacancy in place of a space; a parody in an empty mirror. A tribute act to mediocrity, hence his status as the new Motherwell mascot.
A lifetime achievement award for the piteously vain.
A fitting end for a blowhard.

Keevins is a Tim like Hitler was a Catholic.
A disgrace.

Yeah normanstreet49, yeah Tall Sammy is doing well this Season so far but since
WGS brought him in on loan around January 2008 he was good for six months
scoring goals and his over all play was good then he hardly kicked a ball after that
until his contract was up for renewal around one day @ Ipox where he produced
the goods and scored twice one from the penalty spot then a year or so later @
the same venue he took a pen and put his spot kick in @ the exact same spot
which ‘We all know she said No Goal Keeper’ which was a costly miss & Cost
us the League that Season against Defunct & Cheats FC In other words that
miss came back to haunt us big time
As Ray Clemence once said about tall Sammy he can be a bit of a Jeckel &
Hyde type of player which is a fair over all assessment of said player in other
words he can turn it on when he wants too
So let’s all hope he just keeps focus and interested this Season for a change
& Wee Neil gets the best out of him because also referring to the same
Contract Renew Season a goal return of just ‘2 Goals’ over the course of one
Season is a very poor return for a Hoops Forward Player, Yes? Your damn
tooting also for example look @ BBJ (Big Bad John) he would always set a
Seasonal target of 20 Goals + which he hit every Season he played with
the Hoops

An imperious description of Keevins mate, I’m sure his family will be looking for you to say a few words when the time comes, maybe even write his epitaph….! :)
Just come on to wish Moonbeamswetdream a very happy birthday.
Many Happy Returns MB&WD’s

I also seem to remember Big John Hughes almost winning us the big cup in the San Siro 1970….. inches away from history………
My dear old Dad, GRHS, and Mum drove all the way from the east end of glasgow to Milan in an old Triumph Herald MKII for the game……
All part of the “people” history of what makes this club the way it is…..
Full time.
Fulham 2 Newcastle 1.
Poor old Alan Pardew, eh?
Night all.
akbw1888,
I’ve known Sammi was a star from his first season, what I seen different from you was his control and distribution are and have been streets ahead of most in our teams since his first season. I watched him put in many motm performances with one or two stray passes, where people like you concentrated on the stray passes and arrogantly declared he was no use. Even now you cannot accept his worth and come up with what in your mind is a reasonable excuse to continue your vendetta, there is no justification for your continued attacks except to confirm your own lack of judgement.
Tim in the chamber
Good news about the wee one!
Prayer said for her and her Mum and Dad!
Keep us posted about how she is doing please.
Nice touch by the players.

I can assure you he hosted an evening in Lockerbie the year after the disaster where he announced he was and always will be a Celtic supporter. I was there. Honest :)) Hypocrite probably but definitely said it. I even have a fotie of him.

Think we had a wee conversation when you moved, no sure, are you down near the moorings? I drink in the tavern good Celtic pub.
Did pardew not sign a SEVEN year contract recently?
I’m sure he did.
