Did they find the zodiac killer, in the film at least?

I would be more concerned that you get the point.

Are you setting me up unawares?

Trying to get me off guard?
I am not a spoiler Paul, if you want to know the end, check it out yourself.

**paul_oshea** · 22/03/2011, 10:00 AM

Me?!NO....how could you be spoiling it when everyone knows the identity of the zodiac killer is still unknown*

*unknown being that they have/had a fair idea based on evidence and rumour and previous but not enough hard proof to charge someone

Yes i got the point, doesn't mean I agree though

I think he should tough it out at Celtic for a good while yet. Samaras is the kind of player that can go outa form and Anthony might be able to stake his claim for a permanent place.

**paul_oshea** · 22/03/2011, 8:15 PM

He was in form?!

**geysir** · 22/03/2011, 9:32 PM

Ouch, the ! after the ?

Paul, you are the Zodiac killer of written expression.

Samaras has been in enough form to keep Stokes out of the team and did enough to earn a new contract.

Once a groundless rumour is reported, even in a scurrilous publication like the Sun, it becomes the basis for further speculation as it flies around various media outlets gathering interest..

Geysir, Without such rags as The Sun and sporting websites, where would we get our info which essentially brings us all together on this forum? We all know and accept that not all info is to be accepted as being gospel, but I believe it is still good to share.

His auld fella is wrong on this, as was Lennon with his player choices on Sunday.

The former was mainly 'heat of the moment' stuff. I mean a publican shouting his mouth off, surely not??

And Samaras was in form, albeit nearly 3 months ago in the last away SPL game v. der Hun.

You got that partly wrong.
Quinny was a regular in 'The Bank Of Friendship' on Highbury Hill (& the local bookies) after training, during his formative professional days in the days of 'old school' football when players still went in normal peoples' pubs and the like.

**paul_oshea** · 23/03/2011, 9:47 AM

I can assure you he was more of a regular in the dog and duck when he didn't want to be seen "in normal peoples pubs"...

You can chose to discriminate between the printed nonsense and printed rumours which might have a bit of a possibility.

In this case, the information about Stokes wanting to leave Celtic had been repeatedly denied by the so called source of the rumour.
The article in the Sun had all the hallmarks of an obvious piece of journalistic turd.
Fine, if you want to discuss some other media reports speculating on the possible transfer effects based on the veracity of a piece of obvious journalistic turd.
But I reserve the right to point this out.

So his father did say something? If we can believe any of those reports?!

I can sort of understand why BUTT OUT and HEARTBROKEN would be in all caps like they're being shouted by a demented lunatic, but surely FIGHT and not FINISH is the word that needs to be screamed in the last one?

**paul_oshea** · 23/03/2011, 2:34 PM

You can assume by finishing his career he will have fought already for his place and will be a mainstay of the team....therefore the emphasis is about finishing his career there

Have to disagree here.
Thought Samaras was Celtic's best player. Made some great runs with ball, hard to dispossess and flicked on for Celtic's goal.
Hooper was anonymous and thought Stokes would get a run in his place
