    I was dissapointed with McGeady, he looks a shadow of the player he was before Christmas.
    At his age its to be expected that he will have times where he looses form and hopefully he'll be back to his best when the new season starts.

    Delighted to see Miller getting pelters but I was dissapointed with Carrs tackle in the second half, what the hell was that about?
    Apparently he had a row with Robbie Keane after the game as well as Robbie put on a Celtic shirt and went to applaud the Celtic/Ireland fans.
    Dont know what the full story is there though.

    Aye, Carr's tackle was not called for. Balde used his strength to get Keane off the ball and Carr must have thought "who does he think he is" and just lashed out as he ran by. Most Celtic fans will let him away with is as after the match Balde said he wants to go to Bayern.

    I thought it was madness that Celtic fans were booing Miller during a testimonial for Jackie Mc Namara against a country that they supposedly follow over the own country. But its this sort of mentality that leads to Celtic fans abusing Scotland fans on the streets of Glasgow during internationl weekends saying things like

    " What are you supporting that ****e team for".

    I thought booing Miller was awful. And alot of true Celtic fans I spoke to after the game seemed to blame the club for not sorting out his contract sooner, rather than him for leaving the SPL.
    With regards to his move to united, he was never going there for immediate first team football anyway. So why Celtic fans have branded him a flop is beyond me. One more season in the wings at united and he's gonna come good.( Anyway, I hope so from an Irish point of view)

    Ah c'mon lads, I wouldn't have booed Miller because he's Irish but if he wasn't Irish I would have gave him a tough time. Any set of fans would have booed a player in that situation.

    Miller got what he deserved I thought. I didn't booed him as I wouldn't waste my time on him. I know that Miller had "agreed" to a Celtic deal with MON without ever signing it yet, as time dragged on a bit without him signing he appeared in the Celtic View or a match day program stating "everythings fine, I love the place, the fans, the manager and the city" and the best one "I hope to sign very soon".

    MON got a bit angry with Miller and following a 2-1 defeat away to Hibs in the CIS cup MON lit on Miller at full time over his commitment to Celtic. I think Miller was then dropped and just after Xmas the players had a free week.

    Without informing Celtic or MON Miller flew to Manchester and signed for Utd which was very disrespectfull to the club and manager.

    Miller is a ratboy and we Celtic fans will be laughing when he signs for West Brom or Norwich during the summer as Man Utd fans (who actually go to games, yes there are some believe it or not) say the guy is awful.

    I thought Roy Keane may have got a bit of stick, nothing serious, friendly banner, pity he'll never play for his "bhoyhood hero's", at least guys like Lennon and Martin O'Neill give up the premiership for a chance to as St.Martin put it "explore a dream"

    The reason why Miller is talked about in terms of flop is he was late enough breaking into the scene at Celtic already without then going to a new club with a better squad to try and establish himself. At the age of 24 he has yet to hold down a place for one season at senior level. He is not a young lad in football terms. He was begining to establish himself at Celtic and he just moved on to an even harder place to establish yourself. The move doesn't make sense from a footballing point of view. You could call him ambitous but I thought it was stupid of him.
