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.

Keevins is just a reporter who has lost whatever credibility he once had. He is just seeking any kind of confrontation in order to try and justify his rants. Ignore and he might go away.

SAFC statement
Posted on December 10th, 2012 at 22:14
It is disappointing in the extreme that a headline arising from Saturday’s game versus Rangers should be in connection with one of our young fans being struck by a coin rather than the focus being about our battling performance that arguably came within a couple of inches of pulling off a remarkable draw.
I have spoken this morning with the Head of Security at Rangers FC and I have been assured that he is fully aware of the incident that took place, during the half time interval, having been advised by the Police.
A full investigation is being undertaken, including a review of the CCTV footage.
The Police are treating this as criminal offence and if the individual(s) concerned can be formally identified, further action will be taken. Rangers have also given me the assurance that anyone found guilty of such an offence will be banned for life from attending matches at Ibrox.
I will communicate further on this matter when the outcome of the investigation is known.
In the meantime, I’ve been in contact with the young fan and his father to update them on developments as described above and to offer my apologies on behalf of SAFC that he should be subjected to such an irresponsible act.
As ever in football, it is disappointing that a small minority let down the great majority.

Getting old myself. Saw Bobby Evans play, etc. But if the memory is not gone too far, did Yogi not wear the white sandshoes on the frosty ground at New Year when we thumped whats their name at Celtic Park?

I’m good mate ,not looking for ticket but thanks for the offer.HH
Surely having 67 players sue them is a new world record for sevco?

It is the pantomime season in Glasgow.
“You’re no Rangers fitba club!”
“Oh yes we are!”
Anyone have access to The Times ? It’s pay per view. Looks as though there are a few positive articles about us and a couple of laughs at the Armageddon claims.

needing some advice here from any legal eagles………..
my young student nephew and 2 student pals have been scammed by, what seems, a bogus letting agent.
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!
This sounds like being ripped off by a fly by night cowboy mob when you have
all the details together get in-touch with Lavery & Smith Solicitors and ask for
Garvey McKardil tell him you where put in-touch with via JD’s Big Friend
He is a fellow Tim & Hoops minded person like ourselves anyway there contact
phone number I have here is:-0141-810-1001
Give them a bell, make an appointment to see Garvey or one of his Reps
because a lot of times he is @ Court give Garvey or the Rep all the details
and hopefully they will be able to help you or put you in the right track
Good luck, although if it’s a fly by night mob it can be very difficult to track
them down so don’t hold your breath as regards to getting back said deposit
However, good luck in tracking the hundreds of £’s back

I think he did.
I was at both Yogi’s Soft Shoe Shuffles.
Big Jock took up the reins at Parkhead on my 21st birthday.
I also banged on repeatedly on here about Sammi’s best position, quoting the player’s own comments when he joined the club.
A bit like Mc.Guinness and Donegal. There were plenty on here who couldn’t recognise what was in front of their eyes!!

Patrick Moore has died he said before he passed away how the hell have the Huns got 5 stars on there shirt?
One of the guys on n/s was talking about a story in the paper today about him.
He remained unmarried. His bride to be was killed in the blitz during WW2.
To his death he hated Germans with his every fibre of his being! Absolutely detested them and wished them nothing but ill will.

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 ?
He is a left sided mid-field player? That’s news to me, since I have watched him
since he first came to CP he has always been used as a forward player not a
midfielder or a defender but even used sometimes as a lonely striker in European
matches in the past
The two goal Season return stuff as you mentioned is very poor for a forward
player even some defenders score more goals than said amount over a course
of one Season so how can that amount of goals a big total of two be acceptable
As mentioned before football is a matter of opinion where everyone is entitled
to there own end of debate

Telling the world that a lawyer is a Celtic man & then displaying his phone number on a public site might not be a very wise move.

Old? – I used to deliver his messages when he was Third Lanark boss!
Was bomber invited to Saturdays Hunstock in Govan?
He is surely a legned?
End of debate, ha ha ha
He was playing left midfield in holland before he went to city, it’s no my fault you can’t see a player and pleading ignorance is again typical of a naysayer.
I mind one a very cold night we were down 1 nil at HT o(. Full time 5-1 o)

Get in touch with the BBC. They are doing a prog abt scams every morning this week.
Don’t know what the relevance of SAFC statement has to do with us?,
Do we honestly think that there will be a justified outcome ?
Hope the young lad will be ok,
and i know that they have created themselves another enemy ,
will this give them sleepless nights ?
will they have remorse ?
they will have there usual attitude ,
they are scum, and they love it,
the powers that be will look after there little blue angels,
Why ?
because this is there little bigotland,
not yours, not mine , but there’s ,
So let’s keep being a thorn in there side, and look after our own…..

By highlighting the behaviour of their support we’re continuing to be a thorn in their side.
scotpatsfan-I seen him on TV last week and actually thought he passed away a few years ago.Some great stories about him today,a really good man .
Awe naw,not another Sami debate….
When he’s garbage,we argue about it;when he’s magnificent,we argue about it.
Whether he should play up front,out wide,on his own,part of a partnership,or even at all!
One thing is for sure,there will never be unanimity on here about him.
FWIW,I love him when he’s great,and he frustrates the life outa me when he isn’t.
Like a few players over the years have done.
Celtic FC should always have a place for a flair player who isn’t frightened to try the remarkable,and Sami can do that. But we also have a place for the frustrated fan who lets slip the odd FFS as a result.
Boo-boys? That’s a different matter……
HT
Who are we highlighting it to ?
Sunni…,
Think Stirling might disagree about them being ra peepul, and the polis can’t just ignore it, simply because it wasn’t tarriers who suffered.

Yeah I know they are, but it’s not a laughing matter if one is unfortunate enough to
be taken in by one of those so called scams it’s not a laughing matter
However in this material world we live in there is a wise saying that what goes
around comes around to the said perpetrators they might be able to avoid the
Law but they will not be able to avoid God eyes who is always omnipresent
and knows what’s going down
BMCUW,
It’s no really an argument, just a Sammi hater trying to justify his hatred.
so

I was one of the 14000 that day. I remember it well, a freezing cold day with bales of hay around the pitch. Yogi started with baseball boots on and ran amok, scoring five.
And to think we finished 8th in the league that season. What a turnaround in 24 months!

Casuals.
I hate to hear of people being scammed….especially youngsters. It looks like the young ones mentioned on here might getth legal help they need. This world. Annoys the **** outta me sometimes.

Patrick Moore….eccentric wind-up merchant who knew more about this universe than all of us put together.
I did some research on him last night. Worth it to get through all the disinfo. out there.
A law unto himself.

So I’m a Sammy hater what a load of cobblers in my remarks
about said player have I ever said once that I hate said player?
No, as mentioned before everyone is entitled to their own opinion
If a player is not pulling their weight or producing what they can
produce then everyone is entitled to express their views
