That was a real striker’s goal of Bellamy’s, wasn’t it! Facing the opposite way, knowing where the goal was anyway, swivelling round and drilling it home. Not that Sutt’s header wasn’t brilliant, but top midfielders and backs can score brilliant headers like that, though of course, Sutts is a brilliant striker, anyway.
It’s always great to see a kind of specialist striker’s goal like that, isn’t it? But why do I get the uncomfortable feeling that the Celtic management are kind of hoping he’ll be lured to an English premiership club?
Even Marty, who seems a "company man" or a "realist" -depending on how you look at it – came out with a bizarre "either" or "or"  kind of comment last week, as if to put a damper on Bellamy’s exhuberance.
Very strange comment about "arrogance"  and "fancying it".  Even if Craig did show some arrogance on occasions, Marty must know that that can be an asset in professional footballers at the highest levels. ÂÂÂ
Marty seems a magnanimous, large-spirited man, so I can’t see him being jealous of the attention Craig is getting, like a certain former Scottish manager of Arsenal felt towards stars in his team.

"arrogance" towards your opponents on the pitch is ok Grimes and maybe a little bit off the pitch is fine. If he is getting to his fellow team mates off the pitch then thats a different story. He clearly has the abillity on the pitch but if Newcastle decided he was too much trouble and bowyer and dyer were ok then O’Neill may have a problem.
Sorry this is in the wrong forum.
Nixer, Bellamy seems to be getting on very well with his team-mates at Celtic.
As regards the earlier controversy concerning his refusal to shake hands with an opposing player after the match, Ian St John made an interesting comment in one of the papers. He said that if we’d been all but kicked off the park, we wouldn’t be over-enthused at the invitation to shake hands with the perpetrator(s). I expect that with his brilliance, he gets quite a bit of stick.
