Hehe, he/she thinks i`m from Wellington. Supporters all over New Zealand and the
Neutral zone
Clubs are the first ones to shaft their players so good on him for
looking out for number one.
Killen will be fine, good on him for giving it a shot. I would have been disappointed if he had turned Celtic down to play in the Championship!
Bit of a mixed message that one! Probably a good thing CCFC's gone
to bed before he disappeared up his own back passage. The
championship have a higher profile than the SPL? - Cardiff have a
higher profile than Celtic? - get over yourself man.

We want players in the highest league in whatever country they are playing in. I can understand that the SPL has a lower profile than The Championship in England but that is not the case here. I didn't say that you said Cardiff had a higher profile than Celtic, I thought that was what you were implying. Maybe the Celtic reserves are better than Cardiffs reserves and if Killen is as bad as you say then he probably thought he would prefer Celtics reserves to yours, but I personally think he has the attitude to make a go of it.
Our reserves hardly play mate.I just think that he would be
better off playing 1st team football,as is any
player. What's really annoyed City fans is
Killen saying publicly how he really want's to play for us and
after the club fly him down to Cardiff for his medical and agreeing
personal terms he does the dirty.
Feng Shui to that bro!
killen has moved into the top 10% of best paid kiwi
sportsmen....
Two words - band wagon.
If he went to cardiff it still would have been a steeping
stone to a bigger club; ie Celtic.
No mate if he went to Ninian Park it would have been a stepping stone to playing in a brand new stadium in the Premiership.....with Cardiff City.He would have also played alongside Michael Chopra the best striker in the Championship last season.
However Mr Killen has chosen to play in a sub standard league with a club that is only big because it has grown on the back of sectarian hatred,just as Rangers has.I fear Mr Killen will probably be forgotten by next season as he plays against Aberdeen reserves and to be honest there will be many Bluebird fans who hope he falls flat on his face.The man has no honour.
Killens disrespect to Cardiff City
None too happy over here in Cardiff.Killen used us to get a place
in Celtic's reserve side.No way will he play in Champions
League.Sorry to disillusion you but he just won't cut the mustard
in Europe.
he might not in europe, but in the spl he will
So we hear. Can you blame him for going to Celtic? Bit of a no
brainer really. At the end money and opportunity talks. I can
understand why Cardiff would be dissappointed. Remember he was the
top scorer in the spl for Hibs before he was injured. Your point
about the champions league is a valid one. sanday2007-06-03

Well if wanted Parks football he got it!
He shoulds get game time in the league when they are playing Champs
Lge at least. Who cares that he shafted Cardiff. Clubs are the
first ones to shaft their players so good on him for looking out
for number one.
Look, from a NZ team point of view who would you like playing for
your side?Someone whose butt is keeping the sub's bench
warm or someone who is playing regular football in a league where
the standard is consistently higher than the SPL.To quote a certain
Mr Killen it's a no brainer.
Probably the league with the highest profile - as that is what NZ
football needs. Don't write him off as not getting game time just
yet.
Good points. But you are assuming he won`t play a lot at Celtic.
Time will tell. The chance to play at Celtic just can`t be turned
down. He will be in our team no matter where he is playing. He is
our best striker by a long way.

Which is the Championship, Cardiff City's League.This league get's
far more coverage on Sky than the SPL.You have got to understand
that Killen is playing in a fairly minor league .OK Rangers and
Celtic always qualify for Europe but Killen will not be part of
that,unless there is an injury crisis.
I'd imagine that accepting a bit part at Celtic will suit Killen
more,as he has a glass hamstring and playing a full season in a
competitive league would have found him out.I suggest you look at
Hibernians website to see what their fans think of Killen,it
does'nt make pretty reading.I think we have probably been fortunate
at Cardiff he did'nt sign for us.l
So why did you try to sign him then? So now you are happy he
will not play for you and i am also happy he is at Celtic.
Sixteen goals from twenty five league games at Hibs (edit).
Shocking record. Good luck next year. Good to see you on yellow
fever. sanday2007-06-03 13:47:06
Nice to speak to you mate.
He wouldn't have
been my choice but our manager obviously rated him.Our messageboard
on Cardiff City Online (unofficial) has some interesting posts over
the last few weeks on this subject.
By the way can I
get hold of your club shirt in the UK?
Not available yet. Keep an eye on yellow fever. I don`t think it
will be available for a couple of months. Can`t see it being
available in the U.K.
Yes I will,I visited Wellington in 2005,(after the egg chasing of
course )and fell
in love with your city.A great place I only stayed for 2 nights but
Wellington made quite an impression on me.
So "Come on you Phoenix".
Good night all, it's past
two in the morning here.
Sweet ay!
Hehe, he/she thinks i`m from Wellington. Supporters all over New Zealand and the
Neutral zone
Oh I'm so and
I'm a bloke by the way.What's with this he/she?I'm not a bloody
ladyboy!
Where are you from then?
You can never be sure. There might be the odd woman floating
around. Auckland.
speak
to you all soon,and remember Do the Ayatollah Phoenix!!!
Killen is the type of player that seizes any opportunity he gets -
he hasn't gone to Celtic to warm the bench (well maybe
initially). The prospect of joining Celtic no matter what his
involvement will be was just too big to turn down - am sure he was
serious about Cardiff until Celtic rang....thats football!
He will go from strength to strength at Celtic and don't be
suprised to see him paying him playing some Champions League
football before the season is out. Some players take their
few chances well and CK will rise to the occassion!
His transfer made bigger news in N.Z because he went to
Celtic. It wouldn`t have made the same impact if he went to
Cardiff.
Exactly. Well put Feverish.
And if the Cardiff fans didn't think Killen was all
that good then there wouldn't be all this fuss.

Good morning people,and good morning to Ronaldontknow.
Cardiff have a higher profile than Celtic? where
did I say that?
I'm afraid my friend that the SPL does ,yes does have a
LOWER profile than the Championship.Trust me on this one I do live
here.If he had signed for Cardiff he may have had a
chance of Premiership football.
I personally am glad he didn't
because his last attempt in the English leagues with Oldham was not
particularly inspiring.What I didn't like about him doing was using
Cardiff to get a place in Celtic's reserve side.He's obviously
happy to take the money while watching the first team from ths
stands.I also reiterate what do you want from a NZ national team
player?Someone playing regular football against decent teams or
someone who has a knockabout against Falkirk reserves?

We will follow his Celtic
career with interest and with a certain amount of morbid interest
in any injuries he picks up.As they say "what goes around comes
around"Karma will out!
cmon guys.... hes a proven goal scorer in the spl
He will get a chance

career with interest and with a certain amount of morbid interest

Feng Shui to that bro!
Strangely enough I followed Michael Campbell around on
Thursday in the Wales Open.He played quite well tee to green but
can't seem to putt at the moment.Shame really as I backed him @
100/1 to win the tournament.He's now in 16th place 4 shots off the
lead.
I dont think he willl just bench warm but would much
rather play at Celtic than play for Cardiff city I've decided to
support Celtic next season instead of Rangers.
Two words - band wagon.
It is better for NZ Footballs profile and growth to have Killen at Celtic than Cardiff. There are a lot of people in NZ that wouldn't even know what league Cardiff is in, they probably also don't know what league Celtic play in; they do how ever know Celtic is a much better club in the footballing world.
It is better for Killen - financially and basically the
best chance of his footballing career. The risk vs reward for
Killen is 'a no brainer'.
I live in London. The Championship is a lot bigger in media
coverage here than the SPL. I would agree with "CCFC" about
that one. Can't imagine NZ showing any coverage of SPL. They might
show a bit more now that Killen is playing for Celtic though,
although I guess they probably didn't when he was at Hibs; have to
wait and see.
There would probably also be a risk that Killen would get some
bench time at cardiff too at first. I am guessing he would
get more game time at cardiff; so probably would have been
fitter and more on form for future All Whites games; its up to
Killen now to break into that Celtic starting XI.
I can understand Cardiff Manager and fans being pi55ed off; I
would also think they would agree they can understand why he made
his final decision and respect that.
Thanks for your input CCFC. Brave of you to put your two
bits in.
Yip I know my second premeir league team is Blackburn
because Ryan Nelson plays for them.
If he went to cardiff it still would have been a steeping
stone to a bigger club; ie Celtic.
Any half decent striker cardiff have had, has left. Cameron
Jerome, Robbie Earnshaw and neither went to a club of Celtics
stature.
Killens signed a 3 year contract and has the chance to
impress.
Has a better chance of breaking into Celtics starting x1 than
he did at Man City.
Be honest Ninian Park or Celtic, no brainer.
While playing against Falkirk and inverness arn;t the
most attractive
Neither is colchester, Blackpool and scuny.
good on killen at least European football is better than league cup
inverness and falkrik not attractive football ?!?!??!
and how many spl games have u watched buddy
Maybe Cardiff should sign Captain Jack Harkness - help keep the
hoodlum element in check.
Surely he`ll get a game and a goal against the mighty Gretna!

No mate if he went to Ninian Park it would have been a stepping stone to playing in a brand new stadium in the Premiership.....with Cardiff City.He would have also played alongside Michael Chopra the best striker in the Championship last season.

What the hell has honour got to do with football? You're just
pissed 'cos he's a good player and you missed out on him.
