Footballers typically hit their testimonial year well after their peak, but this is arguably Scott Brown’s best season of his 11 in a Celtic jersey. His Supporters’ and Players’ Player of the Year awards, which he received last night, were a formality. We all knew the captain would collect both prizes.
The first thing Brendan Rodgers did when he met the media on his appointment was to cite Scott as the most important player at the club. Brendan knew what he could get out of the captain and understood the importance of setting his expectations out early.
Scott will be 33 in June. One day we will discuss succession, but with his form and fitness at their best ever, that time could be a several years away.
Party plans were pooped on Saturday but at least Newco won yesterday, doing us a favour by ensuring that we can take the title by our own actions on Sunday, and not potentially while watching Aberdeen and Hearts on Friday night.
Normally I would tell you that the cup final is far more important than Sunday’s league game, but I want to win the league this weekend. A lot.
No more mistakes, Celtic.

D66, Del just getting pain free noo, thank feck. Will step up the exercise slightly.
How are you? Where you blootered on Sunday??
D. :)
Delaneys…I was reading your tale about your blind grandfather. There is a blind-deaf Celtic fan, Clarke Stevens, who attends games home and away. He sits in the JS stand, behind the goals with his guide/commentator. She describes everything going on during the game-free kicks-offsides- yellow cards-atmosphere-banners- all on the palm of his hand. He says the only thing she doesn’t have to tell him is when Celtic score…he can feel it up through the floor…Celtic means so much to so many people…

Where’s Weefra? He got over Friday well. I heard he is close pals with BMCUWP.
BFSDJ- ‘ Last sunday was as big a doing we have had from Celtic, for a long long time….’ where has he been last 18 months….?
Bada,
Some of the comments on that thread are unreal. One guy posts as EddieEHitler – “horrible tarrier” and they are complaining about sectarian comments.
DD, D66, Drew67, AOW and any other Knightswood bhoys.
On talking about blind supporters, I remember going on the Dry Dock/Dolphin when I was a Bhoy and there was a blind guy from Langy I think, went on the bus, anyone remember him, or was I dreaming.
In those days I don’t think they had any commentary for visually impaired fans to listen to, like they do now.
DD I know you went a lot on the Lisbon Lions bus right enough.
D. :)
Should have been Dry Dock/ Dolphin bus

In spite of my puritanical, Wee Free upbringing, I found that hilarious.
I don’t think it would translate into any other vernacular and be half as funny.

Watched the Hibs game in the hotel pub in Drymsine where I’ve got a caravan, we were up for the weekend. Really amusing listening to some huns that were watching it too about how we just lay down to hibs, fuds. Mrs P was with me so was on best behaviour lol
In 1970 Celtic were awarded the Statuette of Samothrace by L’Equipe.
In 2018 Sevco were awarded the Statuette of Shamedramasterrace by UKIP.

Thank you bhoys. It has been a pleasure to meet and like you 3 guys. Without CQN, I would not have had the immense pleasure of making friends with you and many others here. God bless you 3, but my prayers tonight will be focusing on another 2 great mates I have met fae here. Mick and Billy. Aka BMCUW and Lionsroar. Proper Celtic supporters that pair, that I am priveliged to call mates.

MIKE IN TORONTO, terrible news hope you are okay.hh.
D66 I went away to a caravan last September weekend with the wife and grandson. Wee Riley never misses a home game. Anyway we were playing Huns and me and Riley (kitted out with full hoops strip) went up to the big club must have been about 150 mixed fans, anyway teams are out warming up and the wee mans on top of a chair shouting come on the hoops. I thought a feck it.
That was the weirdest feeling, watching with Huns in the room, since I think it was Chick Watt and myself went to Ipox and sat in amongst the scum.

Story on NewsNow suggests Rivaldo Coetzee, our failed signing of last year, may be forced to retire from football aged 21 which is a real shame for the lad.
Seems it was a genuine injury and not a biscuit tin excuse, after all. Who’dda thunk it?
Gooooooood Evening CQN
DavidO, very hoooopy birthday
DD, glad your day has gone well ?
Now Sunday – play Moussa and Odsonne as a pair up front
For me Saturday showed how Griff struggles to play the single role up front ??
HailmHail
Not read back.
Update on BMCUWP; Had ct scan today and blood and urine tests.No results yet.Still no idea on rash.(was it not nhs Wiltshire that diagnosed the nerve gas in hours?) but deffo sounds better to us
No exit date as yet.
Thanks for all the thoughts.Appreciated.
who would you want to win on open university ?
David66 and Del66
As I said earlier. Us Knightswood Tims were outnumbered by the manky VD hun mob. We were better at fitba than them, more intelligent than them, more handsome than them, and better human beings than them. I blame our DNA, our parents and oor Catholic Church and schools for that.
God bless you both, you were both great mates as kids. Magic to be communicating with you both again.

Thanks for update CCB

Glad you settled quickly back into work pal
Delaneys,
glad your first day went well,

Fellow CQN’rs – Heading to Benidorm on Wednesday for a week, looking for information on Celtic minded Pubs to watch the game on Sunday, any help appreciated.

Smiddy fae Langy was his guide and eyes to all Celtic games. I have met them in Amsterdam, Dortmund and Aarhus watching Celtic. Canny remember the blind Langy Tim’s name, but he could drink me under the table. Love him and big Smiddy for their faith.
