Brendan Rodgers would have looked at Kris Commons age, position and recent injury record and assumed he’s not going to get much from him this season. He’d not be the first Celtic manager to come to that conclusion about Kris.
Kris has created more chances per minutes played than anyone in a Celtic shirt over the last decade, and that includes the golden era of Nakamura, Maloney and McGeady, which brought us into the Champions League knock out stages for the first time.
He didn’t fit Ronny’s system and might not fit Brendan’s, but to win leagues, cups and qualify for Europe, you need someone who can be relied upon to open obstinate defences, and we’ve struggled to find a better tool for this job than Kris Commons.
He’s in the final year of his final Celtic contract, but if he goes, I hope it’s not before 31 August.

Joe Ledley has postponed his wedding on Saturday in case Wales get to the Euro final.
Thom …Don`t get the gist of your comment there, mate. Did I miss something?
Winning Captain
Thank you very much.
Re James Forrest article. I got there in the end !!! Even then, it disappeared twice whilst I was reading it but I managed to retrieve. Well worth a read. As the article actually praises Sevco fans, they might even take on board what James is saying.
Anyway, thanks for all your responses but it is a goodnight from me.

Winning Captains ….
Did you ask your (nearly Rangers player) mate Mr. Hartson about his SPL comments at the after dinner speech at the cricket club?
Nah….Didn’t think so…..or did he say them in French lol?
The wee lassie on shortbread news is wearing the new sevco top
Looks like another tory bitch as prime minister in the same mould as thatcher…god help us.
Hot Smoked … Sevco fans have been getting told the facts since circa2010. They refused to listen because the messenger was Timmy/that pape/a teague/the Vatican/some fenian. Leave them to it. We tried.

Here is a wee online drink just for you….
The Zombie, is a cocktail made of fruit juices, liqueurs, and various rums. It first appeared in late 1934, invented by Donn Beach of Hollywood’s Don the Beachcomber restaurant. It was popularized soon afterwards at the 1939 New York World’s Fair.
Just had a text from an Evertonian mate telling me the latest rumour in Liverpool is Lucas Leiva to Celtic .

Winning Captains …..
Did your mate Hartson ever tell you just how close he came to signing for Rangers?
Did he ever tell you about a ‘cultural’ night out he experienced in Glasgow just before this?
Epiphany moments are ok
Aburntoutcase,
What I was saying was that if Scott was eased out of the picture, it would be done in a similar manner to Monk at Swansea, I.e., amicably, with nothing as common as throwing a strop or, as it is known, toys out of the buggy. ( nobody uses prams nowadays).
Rudi … Re my last comment, did I spell teague correctly?
I see our resident Liverpool supporting Aston Villa fan, Radicuntfila, has been inhaling the herbs again.
Thom thanks for the reply. I don`t mean to suggest he is being pushed aside. IMO it would suit both parties.
Pog .. Aye, but has he paid for them?

Respect is a two way street and BR commands it as well as demands it.
Brown will be well looked after.
Club captain has a great responsibility, as much off the field as on.
Chilcott report online in around 52 minutes from now………
Hmmmmmmm…..
Interesting…….
“No amount of cajolery, and no attempts at ethical or social seduction, can eradicate from my heart a deep burning hatred for the Tory Party. So far as I am concerned they are lower than vermin”…..

THOMTHETHIM FOR OSCAR OK on 5TH JULY 2016 10:56 PM
When I was a boy it was known as a perambulator.
Thom I agree, mate. Do you think he has a long-term future on the pitch? I don`t, yet I would love to be proved wrong.
WC,
I long for the day when UEFA act on the wrongdoing of the SFA and issue an unequivocal verdict on Sevco.
Unfortunately, I suspect that I may have a long wait.
Has someone hijacked The Clumpany account on twitter and WordPress? Or has he flipped his lid??
RobT … He`s spat the dummy again.
Roberttressel,
canny access any of The Clumpany stuff,
whats he saying?
mit
whats the name of the restaurant.
Why are the Tory party any more scum than any other political party?
They are ALL scum….every single self serving politician is SCUM
A job that attracts ……SCUM
Pog…..
Ah, those were the days.
It doubled up as a barrow for taking the washing to the Steamie at the Woodside Baths.
Aburntoutcase,
It will probably be a gradual transition, perhaps on a horses for courses basis at first.
One thing we can assume is the BR will not hold anyone back.
Possibly it will happen sooner if he either identifies someone in his squad who can do the job that Brown does, assuming he wants a similar player, or, he brings someone in who possesses the required attributes of leadership and drive.
Rudi ..Can`t disagree with you there.
Brendan Rodgers has nicer teeth than me….he is also a better football manager than me….(I’ve just never had the opportunities that he has had apart from Football Manager lol)
Brendan Rodgers will be the best manager Celtic have had since Jock Stein
Could we have a situation where Broonie becomes Club captain but we have a different team captain? Something similar to Tom Boyd and Paul Lambert, if my memory is correct?
Feeling left out here. Don`t even know where the Woodside Baths are/were.
Ho ho ho ho,oh my aching sides.Get rid of Broony,Biton,SJ,Forrest,Commons,and replace them with,
GLEN WHELAN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.Ho ho ho ha ha ha ha,enough,stoap.Some roasters on here tonight.
Thank God for James Forrest,a wee change to read something sensible.
Glen Whelan,gotta be the best one yet.
Don’t think we should be breaking any news on Res. 12 tomorrow.
We will get absolutely no coverage if we break it on the same day as The Chilcott report.
Jeremy will, at least, stay on long enough to give Tony Blair the kicking he deserves.

“Don`t even know where the Woodside Baths are/were.”
Just a wild guess but I’d say they might be found at the side of a wood.
Pog ..Yes, 1998 I think it was. And Tam is still there, while Lambert is on SMSM waffling on about the Thems being “back”.
Turkeybhoy,
i am heading to Lara Beach later this year,
ever been there,any views on it
Scott Brown is a great ambassador for Celtic off the park, dozens of stories about him,ask the staff at CP and Lennoxtown too.
