It wouldn’t be Hearts without Robbie Nielson deflecting responsibility for his team’s defeat to Celtic. Hearts are a more talented side then their solitary (off target) attempt on goal suggests. Early in the second half they pressed the champions out of their stride, but their game objective was clear to see: spoil, delay and take one for the team whenever Celtic threaten to break.
We saw things from Hearts yesterday I have never seen on a football field before. With Joe Hart ready to take a goal kick, Liam Boyce ran towards him, picked up and threw the ball away. Every Hearts player was behind the ball!
Slowing play down is a legitimate tactic, taking it to this extreme is asking for and surely accepting a yellow card. The same can be said for pulling players back when they are breaking with possession. After an away game in Switzerland on Thursday, Hearts players were frustrated and tired by the closing stages at Celtic Park.
Either Heats players took it upon themselves to wantonly pull Celtic players down and time waste by throwing balls away, which we all know is not the case, or Neilson sent them out to do just this. It is his responsibility that two players picked up second yellows late in the game. Any suggestion otherwise is just deflection, a tactic Neilson regularly uses.
On a more disturbing topic. There is an unhealthy undertone to the criticism of two referees over the weekend. To be clear, Robbie Neilson’s words had no such intent, but loose words from the Hearts manager can have real life consequences.
Anyway, great to see Celtic clear at the top of the table. There is a very long way to go and I don’t feel we are ready yet to be assured of the title. That picture will be a whole lot clearer two weeks from now.

Your normally a stickler for context, facts, and more importantly – evidence.
And it looks as though you are a CQN fake news, tight ripping specialist.
But even you can’t conjure up a dot or comma of racism, or you`d have done it by now.
Irish people are being thrown under the bus by the globalist Irish govt, and your out banging pots and pans whilst they do it.
Take care.

Difficult day for the Irish the centenary of the assassination of Michael Collins on this day in 1922. In part of course because along with Arthur Griffith he signed the Treaty some nine months earlier, the centenary of which was commemorated, in the North late last year. Never meant to last this long but unless I am mistaken there was not an end date on it. Could be wrong. Phil Macgh reckons it wont see the end of the 21st century. Even Scotland should achieve Independence before then. Difficult too when you dont know who pulled the trigger, and nobody was keen to hold their hands up. Even now.
Tomorrow of course is the anniversary of the execution of William Wallace, 1305. And we know who was responsible for that. Took place on the eve of the Festival of Saint Bartholomew, near the meat market at Smithfield within the City. There is a memorial plaque close by to the hospital named after him. Known as Barts locally. He was the Patron Saint of Butchers. Norman sense of humour.

Spot on.
I read a great article written by a psychologist recently about conspiracy nutjobs like 442 Park The Bus.
Said they are motivated by a desire to feel unique, centred around a sense of ‘I know something you don’t’.
It is essentially an escape route from feelings of inadequacy.
Methinks the wee man is more to be pitied than scorned.

There are too many over-thinkers on various outlet’s.
Your not another one surely?
“He doesn’t like the FM?”
Is that how you measure folk up whether they like a FM who can barely conceal its detestation of CELTIC?”
The thoroughly dodgy FM who`s just blown over £100+ million on a failed census, yet another costly disaster from the CGAF – FM?
Do you wear curly toed shoes, like a jester? :)

This Andy guy in the video is trying to waken up the sleeping masses who’ve fallen for everything that you mentioned.
If its being trumpeted by the MSM then its all lies.
There are NO journalists anymore – only propagandists.
If WITZ doesn’t get that – is that Andy’s fault?
Everything you mention is on the 2030 agenda.
Most lakes in USA and elsewhere are `drying up` well that’ll be what the MSM spins next, but they won’t mention all of the military operations that are going on to, drain,the water out of the lakes from underneath them, into the underground `cities` that we’re not meant to know about, coz of the pretence that we live on a spinning ball, spinning at 66.6 million miles per sec, min, hr, or whatever it is?
I won’t mention the last bit of your post as a new witch hunt will be in full swing, I’ll only say that `NONE` of this chaos would be going on without the full appoval of the banks who want us all gone apart from the tribe, we’re not needed coz we built all of our robot replacements.
Bonkers I know, but the swamp tested humanity out over the past 3 years and just over half of humanity failed to resist – make of that what you will.
Don’t trust your govt or media, or carefully chosen celebrities, or scientists, the MSM will tell you that `ALL` of the scientists are in agreement, thats coz those who disagree are cancelled.
Take care.

Too Many Crooks (1959) film could be the one.
…………………….
YOU are RIGHT my friend…it WAS A 1959 Film called ” TOO MANY CROOKS””
Starring Terry Thomas, George Cole….and some members of the ” Carry On” Team, like Sid James, Bernard Bresslaw etc…
The acting and Comic Timing from the actors in this Film was just SUPERB !
Terry Thomas especially, is an absolute RIOT.
Cheers mate.

Hello again all you young rebels.
Finally dragged ourselves home from our Celticfest, a little
bit worse for wear, but always worthwhile.
Thanks to all those for the correct name of the jeely piece
song, I’ll be sure to inform the wee Oz lady the correct
name of it now.
Now was the other song Hairy Mary, or was it called Cod liver
oil and the orange juice ?

Good morning cqn from an overcast but dry at the moment Garngad.
As Bankiebhoy1 says deny/deprive no oxygene to the SPLIT- bus character, guys a no mark. Do not engage. STRANGER DANGER written all over his posts.
The guy is a no mark loner, although I dont know how that works with about 5 aliases/personas/monikers.
Sadly there is a few on here.
Right coal face beckons (well joiners, plumbers, sparks, painters etc really)
D :)
Good morning from a grey damp North Staffs – I see the blog disrupter was having a great night last night. I know it’s hard but best to ignore.
WOW totally unhinged pish. Underground cities FFS!! Replacement robots :-)
Still if CQN is happy for this garbage to be posted here who am I to complain?
Maybe we should get these robots to ref our games?
Good morning all.
Weather not great but we’re all Celts so outlook generally bright 🌤️
A few days left in transfer window – still some pruning to do.
No midweek games yet so thank goodness for CQN.
One impression I got from Saturday’s performance …
… In terms of needing to sharpen up a little we probably are just about ready for 2 games a week.
Have a good ‘un.

Has Crawford Allan made a statement yet ? SFA ? Crawford was probably busy with meetings yesterday Monday night is Lodge night
Hibs raise concerns with refereeing chief over ‘inconsistencies’ in Rangers draw
Hibs have contacted the Scottish FA to raise concerns over ‘refereeing inconsistencies’ following their 2-2 Scottish Premiership draw with Rangers on Saturday.
Josh Campbell’s injury-time goal secured a point for the Capital club against their nine-man visitors, who had John Lundstram and Alfredo Morelos sent off, but club chiefs have contacted Head of Refereeing Operations Crawford Allan, a former top-flight official, in the wake of the encounter to highlight certain issues from the game, which was overseen by FIFA-listed whistler Willie Collum.
The Light Blues contacted Scottish football’s governing body to voice their concerns on Monday morning, as well as lodging an appeal against Lundstram’s dismissal, and Hibs have now followed suit.
One issue raised is believed to relate to the two penalty incidents in the first half of the match at Easter Road. Collum awarded a spot-kick to the Gers on the stroke of half-time after adjudging Rocky Bushiri to have fouled visiting striker Antonio Čolak in the area, with James Tavernier converting from 12 yards.
But Hibs are understood to want an explanation as to why they weren’t awarded a penalty for what they viewed as a similar foul on Bushiri by Tavernier earlier in the first period. The Rangers captain appeared to drag down the Belgian centre-back inside the 18-yard box as they challenged for an aerial ball following a set-piece but Collum waved away Hibs’ claims.
It is not the first time Hibs have sought answers from the refereeing chief.
Chief executive Ben Kensell held ‘constructive talks’ with Allan in February this year, adding: “We’ll always talk to the relevant people if we feel there are things we need to address.”

Celtic have always had trouble getting penalties awarded for them!

Waaaay too simplistic.
Maybe all racists supported Brexit, but not all Brexit supporters were racist.
Mick Lynch, for instance. Arthur Scargill is another. There were plenty like them.

Sorry, this is the second I meant to post. Some craic trying to id the players and the occasion.
Good morning all from Govanhill.
Lionsroar67 – cheers.
Smart tactics by Hibs.
Reading between the lines I’d guess they have no desire to push this.
Simply getting their version out their to counter Sevco.
Doing it politely simultaneously also makes Sevco look small minded and petty.
