You know what Dundee United really need? Scott Brown to turn up at Hampden on Sunday with a point to prove. We’ve complained for years about the way media scrutiny falls haphazardly on Celtic but God help us if we ever acquire the cosy relationship others cultivate in order to avoid the light scrutiny required to keep them healthy.
Celtic players are allowed to drink before their day off (as is the manager). Scott didn’t punch anyone, didn’t threaten anyone, didn’t drive under the influence, didn’t speak inappropriately and didn’t break club rules.
Had he not sat down this would never have been a story, even if he’d had an additional 10 drinks. ‘Scott Brown sat down’ is the story – and that’s the worst they can come up with. Paying someone £100 for a photograph and spending 30 minutes writing about it has to be the cheapest cover in publishing history. It doesn’t pass the ‘news’ test, it is celebrity gossip.
Pin it to the dressing room wall and he’ll be Man of the Match on Sunday, you can bank on it.
CQN11 St Patrick’s Dinner is tonight! Soooooooo excited. See you there.

tonydonnelly67,
Met with an old friend last night…DK,, Gorbals, from the Mc Guinness side. He was asking for you and expect him to be posting soon.
sipsini
Yup Danny, good people, lovely man.
Oh dearie dearie me,
Christian Dailly says Scott Brown gets away with more on the pitch because he plays for Celtic.
In his special League Cup final preview in Saturday’s Courier, former Dundee United man Dailly says Brown “plays on the edge” and would face a tougher time from referees if he played outside Scotland.
Describing the current Scotland captain as the Hoops’ “most important player”, he says: “Brown certainly seems to be getting away with tackles others don’t. He plays right on the edge.
“He could only get away with it at Celtic. And he wouldn’t get away with it in any other country, in any other league.
The article coming from an ex DU player, which shows him tackling Broonie in an defunct teams strip
Haha haha haha haha haha

It will long in the memory of the old & the younger ones, by the way the food was excellent, at one point I looked at both tables family table & pals table and none of them talking just enjoying their grub, I can honestly say if 1 person has had a better stag doo than mine, well fair play it must have been a belter !
Wee Chicco is getting a tad carried away ..
No like him to be a drama queen.
Dailly has about 60 odds Scotland caps, and they ask why they can’t qualify for major tournaments? Another of Craig Brown’s boy scouts.

Did u go to the do last night?
A quick story about karma…
So a lady walks into my shop yesterday. She and her husband are Celtic through and through, and they know I am – we’ve had many a chat. We have a chat about Hampden – she’s not going but her husband is, with his brothers. I’m not going – I don’t have a ticket.
She’s looking for some advice on stuff for her elderly mum, which I happily give her and put a wee extra in her bag for herself as she’s a wee bit down (her ma’s not well).
An hour later, in comes her husband. ‘I hear you don’t have a ticket for Sunday, big man! Well, my brother can’t go, so (slaps ticket on counter) there you go. Thanks for helping my wife out.’
I still can’t believe it. The guy with the biggest smile in Area D2 tomorrow? That’ll be me…
1-1 the new rejuvenated huns .. Chicco! :)
Livingston. Mullen.
Bhoylo83, I sure did. A magic night it was too.
