A shameful episode in our clubs history.

Bobo Balde?

The treatment he has receives is shameful too.

Celebrating the IRA is far more shameful.

Eh Another daftie

Well no it isn't.

So Celtic fans didn't sing IRA songs at Old Trafford, a city that had been bombed by the IRA..........

Does beign a moron come naturally to you?

Helps if you can spell before calling somebody else a moron......

The bombs almost caused as much damadge as the rioting gers fans


no sorry I forgot that was chelsea fans dressed up as gers

Okay.

Does being a moron come naturally to you?

Wonder what this worked out in cost per game, there's something to think about while coughing up money for tickets

We took a gamble on him

It never worked out

these things happen time to move on

however i expect other fans to be still going on about it in years to follow

No unlike you I have to try really hard......

Well it certainty appears as though you put little effort into your first post on this thread.

I honestly don't mind if we take a chance now and again and it does not work out, but not too often and not at this price, black mark for Strachan

Very true.

A couple of years down the line the revisionists will be making out that it was the bigots that forced him out.

Thats your opinion

i was thinking more about them using it as another stick to beat Celtic with with no mention of anything else

That'll be Beyemystic's job

sorry Millfeild i have not been here that long so i have no clue who Beyemystic's is

Tommy gees us a wave, Tommy Tommy gee us a wave

Apart from an easy hat trick against the Midden and a couple of goals against Der Hun it never worked out, but he was up for a laugh with the fans at least That completely justifys his wage.

You'll soon have the pleasure of reading a post or two of his, I'm sure

I am intrigued

I look forward to reading his posts

In what way exactly?

It occurs to me that you may be going somewhat over the top.

The treatment of the player and the ludicrous reasoning given by our manger for declaring he would never play for us again.

Anyone care to work out how much money was thrown at this guy all in?

No-one can possibly do that unless you know how much money he was getting paid each week, how much bonsues he was getting etc etc.

Whatever it was, it's off the wage bill now. More spending power available to your best friends

He might be off the wage bill but, like Juninho, that probably cost well over a million pounds.

Cheaper than still having him there gathering dust, I'm sure. One hefty wage page better off on a week-to-week basis

What did Strachan say about him?

My biggest memory was Barry Wilson skinning him at Caley Stadium. Having said that, surely he could offer more than Donati or Brown in the middle of the park?

He said he would never play for us again as he didn’t fit into Strachans system. A more laughable reason you couldn’t get.

Then he subsequently played him against Man City

Indeed. What a w****r Strachan is.

It really isn't much fun when your club is managed by a complete tosspot.

You realise what you've done now, and the replies that will be very shortly winging there way towards you?

h_b’s alarm is going off as I type.

He didn't play him because he had no positional sense at all and ran about like a headless chicked ( yes that phrase again). Who could forget his brilliant ball control at Old Trafford in the CL were he cost 1 if not 2 goals.

Was a good buy originally but it didn't work out. Time to move on, better late than never.

Graveson is no worse a player than Sno, Donati or in the form he is in now, Scott Brown. There must have been more to the relationship than we know

compared to torbet and the gang this is a fiesta

Not really shameful, Every single Celtic fan would have wanted him to sign and it was a major coup for Celtic. They wouldn't and shouldnt have done anything differently. Not their fault he automatically became shit as soon as he pulled on the green and white hoops, maybe he just wanted to fit in with his teammates.

He couldny punt the ball long enough ?






yup, liked to interact with teh crowd while we're getting humped



I think most did


Nice big wage freed up

Every high-profile signing is a risk - most Premiership clubs have an expensive flop on their staff , just the nature of the modern game with the huge influx of foreigners . Remember Rangers signing policy in the 90's -' every fiver Celtic spend.....' . They signed a huge amount of flops from van Vossen , Basile Bole , Flo , Bo Anderson etc . The OF flops attract more criticism cos they (the flops) have a higher profile in Scotland than they would down south . Graveson will be just an average earner at Everton & if he fails to make an impression he will soon be forgotten but in Scotland we'll be talking about him for years - same as Bo Anderson etc . The sooner Celtic are in a European league of some description the better - at the moment it's mostly just euro-trash ,that no-one else wants , that come to Scotland .

Canny say I'm particularly keen on any euro league or chmpionship/premiership/etc etc, getting 6 games against some of the biggest teams in the world is a great reward for playing in the SPL

I see that there is a suggestion about Gravesen psychological state beinmg banded about, if true I hope he gets that sorted, albeit he's walking away wityh millions of our money

The Champions League & UEFA Cup are expanding almost annually ( if you chip in the qualifiers) so IMO it is inevitable that there is going to be a euro league , pre-seasons are getting shorter & eventually somethings got to give - my money is on domestic football being phased out for the top euro clubs . As for Tommy , best of luck to him , at least ,despite his failings as a player , he always gave 100% and seems genuinely disappointed it didn't work out - not his fault football clubs are making average players instant millionaires.

You are correct. The treatment of him and Bobo Balde is nothing short of ridiculous. Perhaps not as shameful as you would suggest, though.

Hindsight is a great thing but Gravesen looked made for the scottish game.
If WGS gave him the same chance as Donuti it could have worked out.

Yeh, I have tae say though I thought Gravesen should have had a better time there. I would have taken him at the Gers nae bother.
I know some people say he is indisciplined and a headless chicken but he made Everton and Denmark tick on many an occasion. Strange one that little episode at Parkheid!

According the The Herald this morning he got £1.2 million as a pay off
