Just been reading that NL could be banned for Cup Final after confronting the ref after the match yesterday. It all depends if the ref has put it in his report. Seemingly he breached the conditions of his ban by approaching ref straight after game unhappy about penalty. Couldn't Mjallby or Parker have had a word with the ref. I just don't get it why NL would jeopardise his cup final day over a penalty deciscion when he has assistants who could do it for him. With Broony out we have not had a steady captain to fight our corner. Samaras?. Don't think because he's the longest serving player he should be captain. DH

NL has been doing quite a bit of pissing and moaning recently to be honest. I admit I usually can't see past him but if he is banned on the back of making a stupid decision to confront the referee before looking at the incident again then you would have to question his motives. I mean it was a penalty! Mulgrew was unlucky because it was accidental and Ojamma was cute about it but its a penalty all day in todays game. People outside the Celtic support must think he's working his ticket out of Celtic park. As for the player nominations for PFA player of the year, I agree Commons should have got a shout but coming out and saying he's boycotting the event is a bit petty. Like I say I usually agree and understand the stance he takes on most things football related at Celtic but this last few weeks I feel he has let himself down a bit. I just hope he isn't banned from the dugout for the final because we need him there. I agree with the OP about the captain situation, our captains armband gets past about like a piece pipe. I understand a few changes due to player rotation, bans and injuries but its got ridiculous lately. We need a set Captain Broony then vice captain and 2 designated below that for when needs must. I reckon 9 different players have had it this season. Forster, Wilson, Mulgrew, Brown, Ledley, Commons, Samaras, McCourt and Wanyama.

Agree0 Disagree0

If by pissing and moaning you mean defending himself and his team and offering an honest opinion when asked then keep it up neil

Agree2 Disagree0

I'm all for him standing his ground and defending the players/club, but a few months ago I thought he had matured into the job and was picking his battles.
Now he seems as volatile as his playing days and is an easy target for officials.

We all know the SFA/SPL only need a sniff of an excuse to hammer him and it now seems every week he is giving them more rope to hang himself.
The best way previous managers handled their grievances and frustrations was to motivate the players to do the 'fighting' on the park and win trophy after trophy.

I don't know if he has lost patience and tolerance, but he knew what came with the job when he took it.
I don't think he is 'engineering' a way out, but if he is banned for the Cup Final too it is a serious error of judgement by him that could have a very negative effect.

When broony's injured there's only one guy who should be captain-Joe medley, always gives 100% when wearing the hoops. sammi just ain't captain material, he just scrapes by on being Celtic class nevermind captain material, playing well once every ten/fifteen games is not enough. would rather see sammi punted and one of our youngsters given his place, yes he loves the club but that's not enough.

Agree2 Disagree1

Its a witch hunt nothing more or less-keep up the good fight Lenny

Agree0 Disagree0

Sorry people I have defended Lenny every day of the week, he need's to learn when it is sensible to shout the odd's and when it is not, for him to put his position in the final, is just stupid, also this debacle about player of the year, it's the player's that select who should go forward, if we start to get paranoid about that, then we have lost the place. Neil THINK before you voice your thought's, yes ity is good for you to stick up for the club and your player's but do it with a bit of thought,
Tambhoy

Agree0 Disagree0

Hi guys i'm the OP, interesting to see the posts agreeing with my view are well thought out and seem to come on the back of a thought process as opposed to the IN NEIL LENNON WE TRUST brigade who apparently didn't read my whole post, can't hear a bad word said against Lennon and have posted a single sentence reply. "Its a witch hunt" and "He's defending his himself and his team". Listen lads I said in my post I always usually agree with the managers stance and i'm fully aware of how our manager has been treated in this coutry and the unfair treatment he has had at the hands of the SFA but i'm telling you recently its different. Its as if he has got a bit paranoid and instead of keeping a cool head he's taking the bait. Its what they want and he's obliging them. I can tell you there will be a lot of unhappy people if he has got himself a stupid ban for the final.

Agree0 Disagree0

OP I can see exactly where your coming from, i've had the audacity to criticize Lennon on these pages. I posted on here a few days ago that I don't think he has been anything other than average since he took over the club which didn't go down too well with as you put it yourself the Lenny can do no wrong brigade. I liked the guy as a player and manager but I am starting to find his antics after games (always when we lose) predictable and embarrasing. He is living off one result, because let's be honest since he's arrived Celtic have thrown away a title, which admitedly can happen when things are close, but 3 semi finals and 2 finals isn't good enough. Stevie

Agree0 Disagree1

I have to say Stevie I think more of him as a manager than you obviously do. Antics aside he has done a great job. I take into consideration the absolute shambles he inherited 3 years ago and the fact it was his first managers job and then you could factor in the disgusting treatment by the dark side of glasgow's minions. The way I see it is if we win the cup we will have improved again. We lost the league to a very experienced manager in Walter Smith and maybe those games against Inverness and Rangers at ibrox when we had a penalty to win it could have been won had we had a bit more experience in the dugout. We went on to win the Scottish cup so we were one defeat in the league and a final defeat to the manky mob from winning a treble. Last year we were disappointing in europe and in the cups but clawed back an enormous deficit to win the title by 20 points. This season we have unsurprisingly romped the league but to achieve what we have in the Champions League was incredible and if we then go onto win the Scottish cup and complete a double you have to say its been a great season. Ok the league defeats are disappointing but there's times when you need to take a step back and realise in the grand scheme of things the defeats at Motherwell, Inverness, Ross County and Kilmarnock that where games we could afford to lose and still win this title at a canter meant very little. The defeat to St. Mirren in the league cup semi's is the biggest disappointment of the season for me but winning the scottish cup would make up for it and put an end to this so called hampden hoodoo, even though we beat Dundee Utd in the semi's the final is now of course more important in that respect.

Listen mate even though I have my opinion on the managers achievements and you have yours you are still 100% entitled to your opinions and I respect them. I can understand it, I absolutely hate watching us get beat. No matter what competition it is. The opposition rub it right in, give Lennon pelters (like the Motherwell fans were doing on sunday), Then media lap it up and give it the big one (Higdon comments and the get it up ye sign he gave after scoring highlighted on the back page of the rags on Monday). I just take a step back, evaluate it and think what have Motherwell won? How well did they do in Europe this season? How many trophies have Caley thistle won? Where are St. Mirren in the league?

The fact is the only games we have lost this season that have mattered are Juventus at home, Juventus away (Neither surprising or worth beating ourselfs up about) and the St. Mirren cup semi final.

Hi guys could anyone explain the "criteria " needed to qualify for a cup final ticket as I have been told that I can't buy one as I don't meet criteria despite attending every home league and cup game buying cl tickets and going to both semi finals at Hampden yet the guy that sits next to me and is hardly there gets one. Just wondering how they work it out.

This seems to be a problem in all big games. Celtic need to sort this out, although to be fair the amount of give aways at the scottish cup final is shocking. Every club in the country will get an allocation, every blazer and the sponsors. It soon takes it's toll. green jhedi

Agree0 Disagree0

They work it out based on the number of away games and games outside season ticket. I've been to three away European games but they don't count. I am in the home cup tie scheme and went to both semis as well as three domestic away games so I am getting a ticket.

Agree0 Disagree0

29 Apr 2013 23:41:37
I've had my season ticket for 15 years and never failed to be allocated a ticket for a final until now, bearing in mind we used to have 50 odd thousand season ticket holders and a few of the finals were against the zombies I find it strange why i've not got a ticket for final this season, been to both semis, all champ league home games..... Stevie

Agree0 Disagree0

Same boat myself guys, season ticket, champions league games and both semi finals but no final ticket, seems this year if you haven't registered for away tickets in the league you won't get one, no reward for being one of the few who turn up at hampden for semi's. gutted. Eddie

for home cup games

That's wot I did last year never got a ticket for over 10yrs frm CP. GOT 1 THIS YEAR

02 May 2013 12:35:53
group of 12 of us registered 4 people on the away list and try and get as many away games in as possible to get enough points. Always have got tickets in the last 4 years and each time we swap the 4 who get final tickets about. A good way to keep your outlay down and spread it. Have seen some desperately shocking results at hampden mind you

Just on the parent and child thing, my wee boy has been to every game that I have this season. I got a ticket but he didn't. Seems strange.

Reading that League Recostruction has hit stumbling blocks again, I propose:

1) 1 governing Body

2) 2 leagues. Top League of 20. 2nd division of 22.
Pyramid system below 2nd division. ANy clubs wishing to participate from highland league to juniors to amateurs are accepted
3 up/3down between 1st and 2nd division
4th bottom and 4th top play off for promotion relegation.
4 down from 2nd division
3 under-21's in starting 11

3) Scottish cup to start in August. Every team eligible to be put in the hat. no seedings

4) League Cup start in July. Clubs can use it as pre-season if they wish. Start 1st week in july. finish by end of the month. Only players from UK and Ireland eligible

5) Euro qualification can only be through winning the league, cup or finishing in european designated places in the league. Cup runners up don't get into it. If Scottish cup and League are won by the same team, then the League cup winners play off against the team outside the league qualification spot for final Europa league place

6) Tickets a MAXIMUM £15 per head

Believable5 Unbelievable12

Are you actually suggesting that people from only two particular nations are allowed to compete in the Scottish cup? You're less 21st century than the current crop of druids that are running the game. Would make more sense if you had of just said the UK. Don't quit the day job.

Jim

Agree0 Disagree0

No Jim. I said that the LEAGUE CUP should only have players from UK and Ireland, which I make 5 countries (Scotland Wales, Northern Ireland, Republic of Ireland and England), not 2. It's not taken as seriously as the other competitions, hence I said it to be played in July as a pre-season. Gets younger players the chance to get games as well. Don't worry, I won't be giving up the day job, it was merely a suggestion, which if you bothered to read correctly, you wouldn't have replied with your post

Samson

Agree0 Disagree0

You make some good points but there's a couple I must contest.

1. you're absolutely right, has to be 1 organisation.

2. 2 leagues of 20 & 22 is nonsense. Top tier of 10 second tier of 10 then a north/south conference style non-league system for the rest. No part time teams allowed in top 2 divisions. If we can get 20 league teams across 2 division and cut loose the dross we might actually get somewhere, trying to sustain 42 teams in this country is madness.

3. I'd say scottish cup is fine as it is, if anything i'd open up the early rounds to more junior teams

4. league cup should be finished by october as it used to be, not so much pre season but certainly early season. can't possibly get away with UK+Eire players only but surely can work in a 7+4 or 8+3 system like used to be in Europe.

5. Agree with you here, no cup runners up in europe, winners and league position only. While we're at it certainly no euro qualification for fair play, utter luncay.

6. before I start i'm a socialist!
but in a capatalist country you can't put a max figure on a product, its not good economics. also we'd lose money 60000 paying £15 is less than 40000 paying £26 so why would a club take the risk 20000 extra people would turn up if its a tenner cheaper? I don't think celtic are far off a good balance on this and I think the £100 off cards next year will prove a shrewd move.

Agree0 Disagree0

In reply to the last post.

2. The biggest problem we have is that we are playing teams far too much, and often the league HAS TO BE bigger not smaller.

6. Because 60000 people spending money in the stadium will more than make up the shortfall, rather than 40,000 sitting on their hands because they've already spent a fortune on ticket and travel.

As for the opening post, a lot of good ideas in their, but possibly making the league cup an under 23 competition rather than UK only would be a little more PC?

The only other issue I would have is that with those proposals you'd have an extra 4 league games plus you want everyone in the cup from round 1? That's a lot of games if you are going to go on a cup run.

Just been catching up on some disturbing Celtic rumours. The Kano foundation, which helps under privileged kids from all over the UK and further afield, held a charity dinner on Saturday night.

The foundation asked Celtic if it would be possible for a player to attend. They were offered a youth player for half an hour. Now this is bad enough but it gets worse. It appears that when querying the decision the organisers were told, by a PR person at Celtic, "why should a player give up his night just to have dinner with you?"

This disturbs on me on two levels. Firstly, A youth player? Have we forgotten the reasons our club were formed? Do these people not understand the buzz these events get when a player attends? Secondly, we had a game on Sunday. I assume, as is the norm, our squad would have been holed up in a top hotel. So to get the response "why should he give up his night" I say this. Because he is a CELTIC player.

What would he be doing? Playing on a computer game? Watching DVD's? Is it so much to ask that a player, or the coaching staff, could not give up a few hours to meet with fans and help a really worthwhile cause? If you are lucky enough to pull on our shirt there comes responsibility and expectations. You represent a club who were founded in unique circumstances. You have a lot to live up to.

How many times have we heard players say "the fans were magnificent" mantra being trotted out? Well step up and show your thanks then. Players play for ninety minutes, we live our club. And as for the PR representative, I would hope someone puts a rocket up her overpaid ass! You do not flippantly dismiss Celtic fans in this matter. As always my mind goes to the ultimate Celt, What would Tommy Burns have said? I think we know the answer. green jhedi

Believable20 Unbelievable12

If what you say Gj is true well I think this is a disgrace! These players are paid more money in a week than most of us make in 6 months surely part of there job is to be an ambassador for the club this mean attending charity events as well as the odd signing at a club shop in there defence I am sure the players just get told where and when to go to something so this comes down to some nobody at the club that arranges these things still some heads should roll if the name of our great club is being tarnished!

Agree0 Disagree0

Disgrace, If I played for Celtic I'd spend most of my free time doing things like that, it's what we're all about. GhreenBhoy1888

Agree1 Disagree0

I heard this GJ from somebody that was there last night. Shocking that 1st team player are allowed to go to Dubai and the like before the seasons end, yet we can't summon up the decency to send 1 or even a few 1st teamers to a charity do. Absolutely disgusting

Samson

Agree0 Disagree0

The response from the PR person was very poor, however the contract of the player is very important. This is work after all. If it does not implicitly state in the contract that this type of work should be undertaken then the club are in a weak position. I agree it should be more about goodwill, but these days it seems the richer someone is and the easier the money gain, then the more selfish the person. The rewards and salaries that footballers get are mind boggling. This after all is a team sport but the genie is out of the bottle and it isn't going back in any time soon. Tommy Burns GRHS was a one-off human being, we were very lucky to have him as part of the Celtic family and you just cannot compare ordinary mortals to Tommy. Some of the older Celts of course were always there for the charities and especially the fans and some of the spoiled younger men should, look at themselves here. I think its very harsh to condemn the club alone as the individual players should be making themselves available and getting out from their own A****. Is there one player in the dressing room nowadays like Tommy or Bertie or even big Billy, all who made themselves available almost at the drop of a hat. But I am comparing real men with spoiled sports men and there is a big difference I am afraid. I don't expect any personal epiphanies from the current Celtic players any time soon. Sopotcelt

Agree0 Disagree0

My wee girl is currently recovering in Great Ormond Street Hospital-been there for last three weeks. David Luis has been in twice in that time off his own back, giving tickets to kids who are Chelsea fans. Not a club PR thing, just a guy getting paid a fortune to do something he loves who also has a wee bit of a sense of social responsibility would be great if players did have to do stuff like this and even better if more did it on their own initiative. Daviebhoy77

Agree0 Disagree0

Celtic players should always be at the forefront of any recognised charity event as it is after all the roots of our beloved club.
But the reality is sometimes the opposite and the fans are left alienated by the players we idolise and pay the wages of.
I am an older supporter and enjoyed the company of some great players attending supporters functions and fund raising events for good causes, but many players of today are spoiled brats with no interest or affiliation outside the team on the park, with the odd exception here and there.
I take the point about contracts and commitments above, but some of these guys have their heads up their archie's.

Agree0 Disagree0

PR at CP is shocking. Lawell reallly needs to look at it.

Agree0 Disagree0

That is shocking, there is plenty 1st team players who don't play much not including the ones on holiday leave. This bunch are believing there own press, and that's why they've been so inconsistent this season.

Agree0 Disagree0

This post has made me really angry. I was talking to a former Celt and he told me that he asked Peter Lawwell why the they never got players to attend more supporters do´s. Lawwell explained it was difficult these days cause the modern player has so much commitments on top of normal game preparation. The former player replied well you got a squad full of players how about sending the ones that are injured then. {Ed001's Note - I was just reading through this thread in shock, players at English Premier League clubs have these kind of things in their contract automatically. They have to do X amount of hours (depending on the club) community work in the club's name, though a lot of the big time charlies will negotiate the number down when they are in discussions. I can't believe that it is not possible for Celtic to include the same in contracts, especially those of youth teamers breaking through into the first team. I can only assume that the club just don't really want to bother, for whatever reason, with it.}

29 Apr 2013 11:46:22
I cannot figure out if it is ignorance or arrogance that some of our fans think we should be outplaying and beating every team we play.

We moan when we win, lose and draw nowadays that some part of our team is not playing to the standards we expect of them. Surely we all crave teams being more competitive against us as I think competition can only make this special bunch a great team to watch for years to come.

People saying Lennon is playing for his future come on let's be serious for years now this man has been a pillar for our legendary club, just because you have lost 7 and drew seven in one season does not make you a bad manager. Jansen won the league with a record not much better so these slogs for the title sometimes happen.

In my opinion our best manager in the past 30 years has to be the late Tommy Burns, the football played under tommys reign was exciting and emotional everything watching Celtic should be. Just wish the little man could have been as fortunate as O'Neil and other managers who were lucky to have got the chance to manage the team when the club was being run so efficiently. Oh what could have been.

So let's all just get on with supporting the bhoys and look forward to many more trophy laden years and the healthiest balance sheets we have ever seen.

Congrats to Neil and the sqaud. Frewbhoy.

Believable18 Unbelievable5

Yep, agreed. My early teens, my first years of being able to see the Celts on TV were the Tommy Burns years. It was football Stein would have been proud of. He truly did try his best to play The Celtic Way.

I must admit I do like Neil Lennon and listening to his interviews he's articulate and obviously has a good football brain. I also like that he's a sore loser. He got his tactics spot on in the Champions League against much more experienced Teams and in a way, this is where it mattered this season.

However, you cannot ignore that there is an expectation when Celtic's resources are far superior to any other SPL Club. We contrasted and compared our wage bill to those Celtic competed against in Europe. Celtic has a wage bill of 32.7m and Motherwell 3.5m.

We cannot have a pop at Rangers spending X amount in the SFL but not dominating when Celtic are doing the same.

Celtic however can justify their wage bill as they use it to compete in Europe, dear knows what Rangers are doing.

I do think some reactions can be over the top, knee jerk and some take to twitter, forums etc without thinking (all of us included). I hate losing and will gladly admit it, even in a friendly!

I posted on the banter page, I think we still have a problem defensively and hope its sorted out in the summer. We are not the same team without Kelvin Wilson or Scott Brown. I would not let Wilson get so far forward, he still have problems turning and getting back. Leave it to the forward players. Ambrose, the jury is still out on this one.

Maybe it wasn't a bad thing none of players are shortlisted for POTY, its been like a curse the last 2 seasons for Izzy and Mulgrew. ~ Mrs E

Agree2 Disagree0

Great post frewbhoy! Too many people playing the blame game and criticising Lennon and the team. How many points we dropped is irrelevant, how many points worse off we are than last year is irrelevant and the sevco saga is irrelevant because at the end of the day we got the job done. We are the champions! Would have been brilliant to have gone the season undefeated, playing every game to our full potential and setting records but the simple fact is we didn't and we were made to fight for the title. A fight that shows the league is a little more competitive than folk think. It is naive to expect us to win every game and play our best every game. On the whole commercially and on the pitch it has been a fantastic season, nothing should be taken away from what has been achieved!
Tommy Burns had Celtic playing wonderful football, I started going to games around this time with my granda and he told me this is football being played the celtic way and I have always remembered that. Paolo Di Canio, Jorge Cadette, Peirre Van Hooijdonk and Andy Thom were a joy to watch. Lennon has built a young talented squad, my only criticism would be that at times our style of play is one dimensional. I often wonder what would tommy do with the talent we have at the club just now. That is a scary concept!

Hail hail

Agree0 Disagree0

Thank God at last a reasonable post. Sure half the people who plost on here aren't Celtic fans the way they moan about everything and everybody. if we're really that bad, don't watch. Go support somebody who gives you the 'quality' you crave. Until then, hail hail. COYBIG

Agree0 Disagree0

It's dumb how some are thinking Lennon needs to save his job, our club has played a lot more games then most clubs around Europe I would say cause in cl we we did play more then any other club in it and now with spl won maybe the players are a little relaxed or maybe the are running on empty mental and physically after a long season. They still put on a show but also teams have played better like Motherwell they played a good game and was impressed but that was led to us pushing to score.

Agree0 Disagree0

The 3 amigos were a joy, an absolute joy to watch. Of course the rest of the team IMHO were pretty woeful, Thom and Anonni apart but the attacking football was amazing. My Tora Tora Tora expression comes from that era. I actually almost wept when I heard the last of them was leaving when George Cadette was sold to some Spanish outfit for 3Mil. Was it Celta Vigo I can't remember. Great days great footballers and a great lad in out manager Tommy Burns. Fond fond memories. Now that was a season to remember, although it ultimately did end in disappointment. Sopotcelt.

Agree0 Disagree0

The rest were pretty woefull, players such as Alan Stubbs, Phil O'Donnell, Peter Grant, Tom Boyd and Jackie McNamara. I would describe these guys as very good Celtic players who would walk into the current 1st team. Also in this bracket is one of the best players ever to have worn a Celtic jersey, Paul McStay. Time for some people to think before they type or know what they are talking about. Can't Agree.

Agree0 Disagree0

I watched those guys for years. Maybe the post could have been clearer. This was referring to the team under Tommy Burns. The season we lost by a point to Rangers and just before Fergus broke the team up. I agree The maestro was terrific. By then he was either gone or injured so much he hardly played. If you rate Peter Grant then that's your opinion. I seem to remember him being walked over and through mainly by Rangers players. As Tommy Gemmel put it when talking about PG not Celtic class. Jackie granted was decent but not yet at his best at that time. He began t flourish nder Wim. Tom Boyd another who was to my mind over rated and I may be wrong but he was injured a lot that season. Phil O'donnel I will not comment on except to say he was injured almost permanently and never or rarely available for selection against Rangers. I commend your defence of the players but please do not belittle my opinions because you don't agree with me. Ps I sat at Ibrokes and watched us get turned over fairly and squarely by Falkirk in the Scottish cup semi replay. Are you seriously suggesting those you mentioned would have taken on Barca and won? Ps please leave your name so I know who can't agree. Sopotcelt.

Ed, do you or anyone know if we have been watching this kid at Airdrie Jordan Allen? I can't believe he played a league game aged just 14.

Looks a real prospect and is outscoring Tony Watt at youth level. Think he could be worth a gamble before he is snapped up by a EPL side.

CeltStu {Ed007's Note - Jordan is actually one of my best mate's nephew Stu. CFC are aware of him and have had him watched but Fulham are very interested in him, he has been down there a few times and is due back down there this coming weekend.}

With Reading getting relegated today I expect we might show an interest in Le Fondre. I would like to see a couple of high quality signings i. e. a big, commanding, no nonsense centre half and a tricky playmaker but as a club we do enjoy a bargain and a proven goal scorer like Le Fondre may fit our criteria especially if Hooper leaves. You heard any rumours worth mentioning Ed?

Hearing some new restructuring principles involve spl1&2.
With SFL divs 2&3 becoming SFL div1&2.

Winning and second in SFL div 1 only gets you into play offs to enter spl 2. The principle being spl is the highest level in Scotland and teams really need to demonstrate their worth to get in.

I like the concept that TRFC SEVCO will not be anywhere near the new spl setup from the beginning. Ie not a founder member of new spl.
That will always historically be the case going forward in perpetuity.
Indeed they were only allowed entry to Scottish football via SFA backdoor rule breaking as an associate new club with no accounts.

Bad attitude again from celtic, not a nothing game for those paying to see it, and can we finally stop the Paddy McCourt stuff, no where near good enough sorry, he is not the only one though. col

Believable14 Unbelievable2

When paddy came on I switched the telly off, I would of been at the game but couldn't make it for medical reasons, gald I didn't go cause what I seen was a shambles. mulgrew is useless these days, what's with his passing, couldn't pass the salt if u asked him! Rogne needs to go, not good enough. our player of the year and captain for the day (sammy) the usual sammy showed up again and wee see him more often than the decent sammy, another that needs to be shown the door, just not good enough for me. big Jan Ven said a couple of weeks ago that sammy was Mr Celtic, well if he's Mr Celtic we are in trouble! People like larsson, sutton, hartson and even brattbak would be ashamed of being called that if they were as good as sammy! And people wonder why no celtic players were nominated player of the year, too many games like that one yesterday. and don't hit me with the euro run mince, that doesn't count for when the votes go in, its for what a player did through the league campaign not europe. so I agree I don't think they deserved to be put up for it, not been good enough in the league, our points total should tell u that the lowest points total for a champion in over 20 years. shocking, and that's with no sevco!

Does anyone think it's time Marcus Fraser was given more of a chance to show what he's made of?

Congrats 2 sammy on winnin player of the year but was a suprise tbh would never bad mouth a player but really don't think over the season he was our best player and deserved the award felt commons was a stick on for it. Wanyama won young player of the year and big fraser won players player tony watt's goal against barca won goal of the season

I'm glad for Sami; wouldn't have voted for him, but he plays (when he plays) for the jersey, and his goals have truly been invaluable.

Agree0 Disagree0

Sammi plays when he feels like it which was not the case yesterday - he was mince along with Lustig, Mulgrew, and Kayal. Big Forster was at fault for 2 goals - he is going back the way - along with Hooper ( he was also mince yesterday ) The best player this season by far has been Commons. Oh and by the way Watt must get a run in the side along with Paddy. I wouls play Paddy for the rest of the season come what may to give him a chance. He has more skill in his big toe compared to the invisible man AKA Joe Ledley. What the hell do people see in him?

Agree1 Disagree0

I for one don't think he deserved it, doesn't even desreve a celtic top never mind an award. yeah he's scored a few goals, but we need more than a few goals from him, spends more time on his arse than he does running. we seen the real sammy yesterday, it was like we went back in time and got the old sammy back, hope he goes in summer! Commons should have been given the award far better than sammy though-out the season, jeez I'd of gave wilson the award before sammy!

Agree0 Disagree0

Most of this celtic side just now are kidding themselves on and lennon as well. the football and hunger and desire isn't there and they are all on good wages. I feel we need a change in manager, playing staff etc. I don't fancy our chances in cup final ps sammy captain your having a laugh

Agree0 Disagree1

To post number 2! Ledley has been one of our best performers this season, while McCourt has done nothing with any of the chances he has had. Maybe if McCourt had a toe's worth of Ledleys attitude and heart then he would get more game time. Time for Paddy to go.
Victorsgonnaegetyou.

Agree0 Disagree0

We all have our opinions but any Celtic player who plays with his heart and respects the fans and the club deserves a lot of praise. The magnificent performance Sammi put in against Spartak should also be remembered. That was really the night the whole team came of age. Sopotcelt.
