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.

Feed the Bear.
Big Yogi was an extremely skilled dribbler who seldom employed the kick and rush approach adopted by Sammi. His height and weight gave him an awkward appearance which is particularly obvious in his Leeds semi final goal celebration at Hampden.
Hence the Yogi Bear blow up dolls.(Ahem)
Amazingly,in his time at Celtic he was the the fastest over 100 yards.
A Celtic hero then,pre Jock, and now AND a character.Whatever happened to them?
Step forward Broonie.

Happy Birthday to MWD.
Another year more experienced.
Keevins is the right height to be a mascot!!
One of Yogi’s sons posts on here from time to time he may be around to confirm the story about white sannies.
…..and whether he gave them to Voguepunter to wear up to the current day ;-)
Philboy
Aye, 7 year deal on the back of one good season, I think it’s known as ‘The Chelsea System’… :)
ht,
I remember the white sannies, asked my da about the new white football boots and got the chuckling response he’d get me a pair.
Voguepunter
I normally have a spare adult ticket. Brother is building an extension on his house so is generally busy working.
Give me a shout if you need ticket.

Who was the toilet brush Newcastle brought on in the final minutes?
Weefra HH
In September 2012, Pardew signed a new 8 year contract.
It’ll give him plenty of time to get Newcastle back out of the championship.
Sannies?
They were described as baseball boots at the time.
Whatever they are.

Keevins is a Tim like Hitler was a Catholic.
A disgrace.
Your damn tooting miki67 he is a disgrace and should be sinned died
from CP
I seen said Keevins sitting just along from where I was sitting once
@ few Season’s ago it was when Take It On The Chin was in the
Hot Seat it was a Europa/UEFA Cup home match against Hamburg
we lost that night one-zero and he was sitting there with his power book
smiling away when we where zero-one down in other words gloating
Another one of those HMG Circus Media which is pathetically accepted
in ColdLand is one with the name of Raymond Badwag I mean what a
numpty I also saw his ugly moosh @ CP once gloating after another
negative European result under Moggy
Now how can a fellow who comes from an Asian Background
follow a bunch of Zombies who in truth most of there Support are
totally raciest and make raciest gags about Asians does not make
sense has he got a brain or what
Pardew’s girly attempt at a handshake with Martin Jol was pathetic,a rat of a man.Hope big FF is laughing at him.
Evening, am I right in saying Pardew has a 8 year contract?
I wish Fat Sally would get one, oh! wait a minute. I forgot his is for life…
Canamalar
You should hear CaltonTongues on a rant about any non black with 3 white stripes fitba boots.
Every dropped point since 1995 can be attributed to this don’t ye know ;-)
Philbhoy…thanks…
ht,
I think he might have a point :oD))
Been a blast

I know exactly what you mean.
However,I think there is an understandable attitude amongst immigrants that by supporting majority “institutions”,they will gain acceptance from the majority.
In time they will learn who their friends are.

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.
Weefra HH
I was also at one he hosted along with Paul Elliot in Shotts a long time ago now.
He had a Celtic scarf in his pocket and he brought it out and said that it went everywhere with him.
He must have lost it at some point in his life.
Along with his morals, integrity, backbone and any value of self worth.
I pity him.

MWD,

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.
Excuse me, but where did I say he was no use?
What I said about Sammy was he can be like a Jeckel & Hyde type player.
So two goals return over the course of one Season is an acceptable return for
a forward player @ CP?
Constructive and true views about said player should not be dismissed
also football is a sport where viewers are entitled to matter of opinion
Earlier post no-one wanted Samaras. He has rejected moves to Palermo,Rennes and Espanyol to name but 3.
Also regarding the Daily Record allowing the Jabba article. Daily Record have been deleting his archived articles for well over a month now. What does that tell you about when they knew?

They where all excited at moving into their first flat, saved up, paid the deposit, and now the landlord says hes been scammed by a bogus letting agent. i dont have all the details yet……
my brother and his wife have called the police…….what they can do, i dont know yet.
absolutely sick to the pit of my stomach…………ba****ds!
scotspatsfan
Thanks for that, I was beginning to think I was the only Tim who believed he was one of us then. I have absolutely no doubt he has sold his soul to the dark side.

Here – Here & Well Said MacJay1 For Neil Lennon
I totally agree with you
all Yogi Bear lovers…
Big John scored 5 goals in a league game against Aberdeen at a frozen Celtic Park on 30 January 1965.
He did indeed wear a pair of white sannies which I seem to recall were borrowed from Billy McNeill.
I watched the game (with garcia lorca) from the from the frozen wasteland of the uncovered east terracing that day as part of the 14000 crowd.
It was a momentous weekend – Churchill’s state funeral (live on TV) took place on the Saturday and that evening it was announced that Jock Stein would become Celtic’s new manager.
Things would never be the same again!
Stirling Albion have issued a statement re one of their supporters being struck by a coin thrown from amongst the hun support on Saturday.
I’m sure the msm will pick up on the story tomorrow.
Glad to see that there is no parole for Keevins after his attacks on the club regarding Sean Fallon. It was on par with the Thugs and Thieves story run by his rag the Daily Record , which initially he defended and ultimately refused to condemn.
Keevins employment at the Record will continue to ensure circulation falls. I couldn’t believe it the other day when I was back in the uk and my 70 year old father in law was sitting reading the daily mail after 50 years of the record. Aye it’s better than the record , don’t need to read that twisted Keevins putting the boot into Celtic and some of the journos in the Mail seem to have a soft spot for Celtic.
The record is not even fit for fish suppers today.
9 car pile up on the m6 s/bound 1 death. 2trucks 5 cars and 2 vans involved. 10 injured. Pray guys.

December 20th. The day the 16 elite clubs in European football await the draw for the biggest and best football tournament in the world. Or as The Rangers call it, ” the Thursday afore Christmas”
The greatest Christmas movie ever made – Die Hard – is on Film4 tonight. Get it watched
Paul you told us on here well ago what a player he was – I want him to drop into midfield
akbw1888,
You basically told us he only turned up when a new contract was needed.
Dismissed any other input between contracts, from day one I told anyone who would listed he was not a CF, I insisted he was a left sided midfield player, you and most on here judged him as a CF I judged him as a player out of position, but still making a bigger contribution than most, a view not shared on here by many.
Typical response from anyone trying to do the big mhan down is the two goal stuff, I never counted his goals as I never seen him as an out and out striker, you did and you were/are wrong.
Since Lenny took over Sammi has played in his natural position, how has that worked out ?
Patrick Moore has died he said before he passed away how the hell have the Huns got 5 stars on there shirt?
