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.

As the polemic simmers agitators wait in the wings for another wee opportunity to unleash their wooden spoon.
In the SPL
For a juvenile moonhowler your fitting right in, duck to water :oD)))

I’m using my wooden spoon as I apply the finishing touches to my lentil loop,now that I’ve bought some carrots.
It’s far too important to waste on here,and I doubt it would be needed.
How did your gardening go the other day? Did your plan for multiple tinny-breaks from passing motorists come up trumps?

I wish it had only been from 89,he might not have stolen Brian McClair from us in 87!
He took over in Nov 86.
What ever the point being that Football is a results industry anyone who
thinks other wise is kidding themselves on even Alex Ferguson said
the exact same thing last week on SSN
I want to help at least one person this winter who is suffering because of this savage savage government. And I mean help them directly.
I can hardly believe some of what I am witnessing in The UKplc in 2012.
I am getting really disturbed by it.
He never got many goals last season either, how did we get on, oh aye that’s right we won the title, result eh
So by changing the direction of the discussion your admitting defeat, it’s all about results and if we don’t get the result its all Sammi’s fault, yer scratching around now for validation.

What’s that got to do with Sammi ?
It’s you who keeps insisting he’s a centre forward, no one else in this discussion has claimed that but you.
Now have you looked at his stats on that link I posted ?
Did you notice the goals to starts ratio, 81 started 34 goals, no bad for a midfielder IMO
Not once in this debate all evening have I ever mentioned that your Mhan is a
CF I pointed out to you that he was a forward player not a CF
I did mention that he has been used in European away matches as the lone
forward he was signed as a forward player not a midfielder and his goal
return tally of 34 goals over five Season’s comes under piss poor record
Brian McClair & Henke scored that amount of goals in one Season for the
Hoops let alone five Seasons
You can try and convince me for untold amount of time but you will never
change my opinion of said player he is an under achiever it’s as simple as that
34 goals from 81 starts is poor ?
He was signed as a forward, says who ?
I’ve already said I won’t change you mind, I know and knew from the beginning of this discussion I could not change your mind, I don’t pretend to even try and change the mind of haters, I simply try and counter your negativity.
Even John ‘Dixie’ Deans scored over 120 Goals in said amount of Seasons
& Not a lot of younger hoops bhoys and ghirls have heard of him
Sammi. Good. Undeniable.
End of.
: > )

Says WGS & Nearly every other Hoops fan except yourself a
midfielder wait to I tell every CSC’s that I know that one
that’s a good laugh LOL

Only trying to help…..
Anyway,while you are correct about it being a results industry,it is NOT necessarily an instant,short-term results industry.
We’ve all seen plenty of examples of short-termism ending in tears.
In fact,Man City tried it and failed miserably in the late 70s/early 80s,and look hellbent on repeating themselves,while Man Utd had been guilty of it with every manager since Sir Matt,until Fergie arrived.
We could have been guilty of it with Sami too,butnow the decision to find him his place in the team has been vindicated,we should be grateful,IMO.
Because if anything it’s about future results and performances,not past ones.
Apart from McClair and Henke who else ?
For someone you don’t rate you compare him to some of the best in the business.
No really a good strategy if you have to go to such extremes to try and prove a point, is it ?
I’m thinking the drink is getting the better of you now, your arguments are becoming desperate.

Yes miki67 good
but not an out and out midfielder nor a prolific goal scorere
KITALBA
You mentioned it on here-I thought it was a marvellous idea!
Can I help it if no one would listen :oD))
Turns out I was right all along eh :oD))
I’ll tell you another player I think could move, young Matthews is going to be Browns replacement, until then he should be our right winger, far better than anything we have, until young Forrest goes to see the wizard of oz to get a heart.
Bobby,
Often gardening for me is a trial for my liver. Sometimes it can get messy.
KITALBA
I’m the same-the very thought of gardening is enough to drive me to drink!
BMCUW,
That must be a big garden if you need a driver
Bobby, on that note I’ve had enough of work for the day so it’s off with the computer and I’m away up the road to think about gardening in the pub.
CANAMALAR
Nice one….

Point taken BMCUWP & Miki67
@ Last he is begining to bear fruit but one only has to cast there mind back not so
long ago in-fact the cup semi against Ross County where on that day Sammy was
posted missing along with the rest of the team.
As I have said all along we all know that Sammy can play well when he is in the
mood and this Season so far wee Neil has managed to get him playing well and
getting him to keep focus for longer than ten minutes in a match but over the past
five Season’s that he has been with the Club that has not always been the case
regarding Sammy so yes lets all hope that long may it continue and we see the
better side of GS than the enigma that he has been found wanting in the past
5 seasons x 36 = 180 games
Suits your argument but not reality, poor biased stats of a hater.
AKBW1888
Amen to that,bud!
Time for a kip, I love circular arguments :o)

Yeah, you know I have been making fair points all Evening about Sammy
& I’m certainly not a GS hater I back every single hoops player that pulls
on the hoops and wish them the best of luck and good health
CANAMALAR
Aye,canny beat the nightshift for a few of them.
Fortunately by tomorrow night,we’ll have thought of another topic to go round in circles discussing.
I’ll do my best if we’re struggling. Board emoluments have been strangely ignored recently,haha!

I know Canamalar you are an argumentative type of a human and you know
you are you have been saying you going to kip now for over the last two
hours anyway you better go and get some shut eye before search party’s
are out in the morning looking for you sweet dreams and don’t forget to say
your prayers for yourself and everyone else including me KTF
& Remember Willie Maley Was His Name Yeah Later’s
Good Night of what’s lest of it, & God Bless. :-) :-)
AKBW 1888
I think you were led astray by a master,and forgot at times to balance your statements with reason. It’s a learning process,but you stood your corner well.
A good solid discussion on the nightshift with no personal abuse,makes a pleasant change to be honest!!!
I look forward to discussing our team with you more often-as you said earlier,it’s a blinkin’ boring world when everyone agrees about everything.
Now,about the songs…..

Bobby Murdoch now he was another Great player to pull on the Hoops
Bless Him
He could put the ball on a sixpence coin about the size of 5p nowadays
and he had a shot like a cannon ball being fired
I was fortunate enough to remember and see Bobby playing for the Hoops.
Yeah those younger Hoops Bhoy’s & Ghirl’s they can be very opinionated
and try to persuade everyone into there own little mind sets without
consideration for other peoples points of view
BMCUWP So what’s your favourite songs?
Oh well it looks like the big Lady has cleared out her tonsils in here and
the shutters have came down for the night on cqn
So it’s good night from myself of what’s left of it
God Bless Everyone
Honestly
