The response to Scott Brown’s SFA citation from Celtic, Neil Lennon, the support and everyone connected with the club has been so overwhelming, I had to check if the Celtic top the Pope held in St Peter’s Square this week had “Brown, 8” on the back (it didn’t).
Celtic will present a litany of precedents with players celebrating in a similar fashion without censure from referees or the Association. I would also expect them to ask Judicial Panel members associated with their opponents last Sunday to excuse themselves from proceedings.
At this stage of his career, with contract talks still on going, the captain deserves this support, although let’s not confuse his stoic resilience for Player of the Year qualifications. That subject is worthy of greater scrutiny.
There is a lot of anger at Steven Gerrard over his antagonistic remarks towards Scott Brown since the weekend, but I think we need to cut the Newco manager some slack.
With the many distractions since Sunday, it may have escaped your notice that Celtic are now further ahead of second placed Newco (13 points) than they were ahead of both Aberdeen (9 points) and Newco (12 points) at the end of last season.
The harsh reality facing Gerrard this week is that he spent significantly more money than Pedro Caixinha but his side is even further adrift from the champions than the team managed by Caixinha and Graeme Murty a year earlier. Caixinha was given 229 days before being sacked. Gerrard now knows his team is doing worse than before he took over. He is not the first to lash out in the face of failure.
This is his first season in management, Caixinha was a manager for 14 years before arriving at Ibrox. He has a long way to go to catch up with the Portuguese’. Gerrard’s feelings of frustration are new. A year from now he will be more accepting of reality, including his own limitations in comparison to Pedro. Nine-in-a-row will not hurt him as much as this season’s eight.

Lovely Post NorrieM. Best of Luck to the Happy Couple and I hope everyone has a lovely day.
I have the Christening of my youngest grandchild today but thoughtfully my wee daughter has Ceremony timed for 6.30pm so it’s game on for CorkCelt.

A wonderful tribute to your daughter ( and hubby to be )
Proof that CQN is more than just another football blog.
HH to the happy couple.
David 66:Safe journey Thomas.
Father,your son accepted our sufferings to teach us the virtue of patience in human illness.
Decided to go for the “listen again” option for last night’s Clyde1 Superscoreboard. Just 15 minutes in and already big Derek is absolute comedy (brainless) gold!

the whole wedding, the groom, where it was held, awething, you
know what wimmen are like, so if you get the time a wee mail about

This is what defines CQN from other sites, there is a sympathy, a
genuine feeling of comfort and togetherness from all the bloggers
when someone in the Celtic family is suffering, it galvanises us all
to do or say whats needed.
Prayers for your wee bro, up the rebs.

Thoughts & prayers are with your family.
Just the 4 flares thrown at Tynecastle so far. Hibs have just equalised. 1 – 1 after 30 minutes.
On Iron Horse heading to Paradise.
Hail Hail.

Oh my word. QPR only have themselves to blame here as Norwich take a 3-0 lead.
Toni Leistner plays a dreadful pass, putting his midfield under all sorts of pressure, and Norwich take advantage.
One bloke you don’t want to see bearing down on your goal is Teemu Pukki, who makes no mistake.
League goal number 25 of the season for the little Finn.
Taking my daughter to the game so a slightly earlier start than usual for me.
Doors to automatic…..
Good afternoon all from Neesons, Allison Boulevard. Get intae them, the mighty Glasgow Celtic.
NorrieM
All the very best to Laura and Stephen on their new journey together.

My humble offering for a Tom Rogic song.. To the tune of Pinball Wizard by The Who….
Ever since he was a young bhoy
He played at the fusbol.
But now he’s joined the Celtic
He’s grown 10 feet tall.
Takes on defenders,
can curve it round the wall.
His name is Tommy Rogic
and he sure plays mean football.
whoareyoucsc
—————
He’s an Aussie Wizard
He turns and he twists
An Aussie Wizard
And his name is Tom Rogic
NB Pronounce his surname Rog-itch.
Just scrolled back the page…..
Corkcelt have a great day – How about the first scorer today as a middle name? ?

Stay strong mate, Thoughts and prayers for the family.
