Meeting Celtic players on nights out

So whats everyones experiences of meeting Celtic players out on the lash?? Met McGeady and Crosas last night and got to say both where absolutley brilliant, especially Crosas, was chatting away for a good 15 minutes. Canny really mind what the topic of convo was though haha :bbpd::bbpd::bbpd:. Some of Aidens mates where a bit wide tho.

 

I used to have a beer with Lenny in jintys he came into my bookies in ashton lane top bloke

 

McGeady is generally a *. Seen him
a few times n always seemed a * know quite a few mates who say the same including one of his cousins.

McManus and Vennegoor were top guys

 

Talking pish were you? :icon_mrgreen:

 

Its not all that surprising that in a city the size of Glasgow (or anywhere in Scotland for that matter), sooner or later you are likely to run into the odd player on both sides of the divide, so it's hardly trainspotting stuff, is it? Some fans take it too far, and the players themselves have to realise that they are gonna cop some stick, especially when out on the lash. Just got to remember they are people too.

Have seen a few players over the years at restaurants, airports & the like. I don't go to nightclubs etc, so don't know if it is different then, but would imagine drink would have more of an impact on the dynamic of such encounters. Personally, some of the more notables I've run across includes the likes of Naka, Lenny, BBJ, JVOH, amongst others, all of whom have been exemplary, and that goes for the odd R****** player, like Van Bronckhorst (should add, he was at Arsenal by that time, lol).

 

i met odea in my local pub as hes normally been in there with skippy n aiden, and i asked him for his autograph and he said do you know who iam, and i say obviously or i wouldnt be aksing you for your autograph and he said well then * off, so i sayd go * yerself think yer a superstar cause ye scored in a cup final,and he said i dont think i know iam,i just walked away but i was so * angry and felt let down

WHAT A *

 

Some players need to realise who pays their wages^

 

I met Darren O'Dea once and he was sound as *; singing the soldiers song with him outside of Karbon.

 

I have to say if your telling the truth here there is more to that story Darren is one of the soundest lads iv ever met had no bother with photos and signing my jersey and staying round for a chat!

Met paddy aswell he's really a top lad

 

check my previous posts mate im an honest lad , and wouldnt make * up bout my own team players,he was a loada mates probz thought he was being the big man

 

I met cillian sheridan on a night out once and went up just to say hi mate how u doin and he just looked at me with a dirty look and walked away, completely disrespectful as *. His pal said he's just drunk or something, i cant quite remember everything but i remember i was rajing and was actually contemplating hitting the wee *

 

i met Sheridan as well. Got a picture took with him pretending to be smaller than me; I'm a pure midget btw:icon_mrgreen:

 

met wee maloney and donati and they were both top quality.

also i seen keano at lennoxtown last week.

 

Met a few of the players inside the ground after training once thanks to JC.

Gotta say, Hartson and Lennon were brilliant.

I met Johnathan Gould in the gym once, and he was happy to sign something for me. Also met Steve Crainey in a club, and he was a really good guy. Bought me a drink when he found out I was a Celtic fan.

 

a few years ago i watch the game were we played dunfermline to win the league and drew 1 each in a pub in helensburgh.i was having a few beers and a game a pool way (the manager)when jorge alberts came in with his mate.they joined us for a game of pool and a drink and i can honestly say he was cracking big guy.

 

Well i only seem to meet Huns players, one was Steven Davis the night of the Unirea game lol i was working in Bearsden, also i was in Princess square a few weeks ago and saw James Grady.

 

My mate stays in Houston and was down the shops on a Sunday morning and met Hartson. Asked him for an autograph for his son, told him he was his son's favourite player. Hartson asked were he stayed, told him to get in the car and he'd follow him back to his house. Sat and had a chat and totally made the wee mans year.

An absolute class act

 

that was an amazing thing to do - so so nice!!! your kid must have thought all his christmases came at once! :icon_mrgreen:

i was at lennoxtown and saw them all, they are all cracking!

mind you 4 of them packed into a toyota aygo, come on guys, we know you get paid more than that :icon_mrgreen:

only one i cant bear i mcgeady!!!!

 

I work in one of the establishments on sauchihall street that i shall not name. The owner is apparently a big tim and big John Hartson used to come in all the time with the big boss always around closing time for some after hours beverages. A few years ago I remember finishing late at around 4am on saturday morning and they were both still there tanning the JD's. The next morning i dragged myself out of bed to head to the pub for a half 12 K/O away game, and there was big John sitting with the Satanta team talking pish about the pre-match build up. He couldnt have had more than a 4 hours sleep, and he was * wrecked the last time i saw him at 4am! Not bad for a 35 year old man.

 

A car pool!

Nice to see our bhoys doing their bit for the environment!
