Scott Brown sat down

1251

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.

    ……

     

     

    To post a link from BBC Scotland to try and justify an argument against SNP policies is comparable to Alfie posting a link from The Scottish Hun to demonise Broony ..

     

     

    Both prejudice media outlets take great satisfaction in writing condescending articles on they particular subjects.

     

     

    Won’t bother my erse reading either! :)

  2. Broonie sits down shockerooni! Greetings from the BA289 to Phoenix.

     

     

    Alfie gie it a rest for goodness sakes!

     

     

    No clarification when the alleged incident took place, just the Hun to believe which is subscription only on the web or pay as you go at the newsagents. I wouldn’t trust them as far as I could throw them.

     

     

    Broonie and VVD to score on Sunday will be watching in the Phoenix CSC.

     

     

    Hope CQN11 is a blast, waiting on my virtual ticket. Have a great weekend hoops fans!

     

     

    Hail Hail!

    Wicklow Brave. Never seen a horse come through like that in my life before.

    I think that would play right into the hands of the media in Scotland who are desperately trying to protect the big mouth who has ludicrously been appointed to the board at Ibrox.

     

     

    The only story is his vile tweets, and it will not go away no matter how long Graham lies in his snake-pit and how hard his media pals try to protect him.

     

     

    But the media will have to address that issue quicker if Celtic ignore the attempts to make our club ‘the story’.

     

     

    The only way to respond is by winning the treble – that really will sicken them.

    The very first post I read from relevant newcomer Alfie Noakes, I shook my head and said that lad won’t annoy me but the guys who respond to him will, and so it has turned out..

     

    My gut feeling is that Alfie Noakes has been around before in another guize, if I had to hazard a guess, I would plump for The Singing Dick but whether it was TSD or Ryecatcher or whoever, I am confident that he had a previous CQN incarnation

    Alfie Noakes!

     

     

    A poor man’s Ernie Lynch, a `pish-stained’ Ernie if you like (or Leggatt Ernie :-)

     

     

    Scenario-

     

     

    Broonie plays on Sunday and gets MOtM.

     

     

    Howevah…..he hasn’t managed to convince Leggatt Ernie that the photo was a fake. Poor LE has had to sit on his hands the whole game unable to support our Captain (my captain) as he drives our team onto victory. Day ruined eh Alfie?

     

     

    Jog on and take that wee runt Dexter with you like a good chap.

     

     

    Hope everyone has a good night tonight at CQN11 and we have a trophy to enjoy on Sunday.

     

     

    Support the team!

    The Sun story is merely a blatant attempt at continuing their record of arseholeness.

     

     

    I wouldnae worry about it,Scott won’t and neither will Ronny.

     

     

    Meantime,the huns continue on their road to oblivion again and their cheerleaders smear us.

     

     

    They’re doing us a favour,brilliant stuff.

    Can’t you take criticism?

     

     

    I directed some at you too. I disagree with your opinion.

     

     

    Frequently people disagree with mine,it’s fine. It’s a blog after all.

    Sadly,no. It has been in circulation for a long time,mainly wrt The Sun.

     

     

    I live in hope that it remains so long after its demise.

     

     

    Enjoy Phoenix,etc. send me a postcard. I love the green-eyed monster moments,they make my weekend!

  11. I read an online article earlier in the week, decrying the amount of space given to the Jeremy Clarkston incident, the guy in question ranted for 2 pages about it. He didn’t do irony, neither do we.

     

     

    Too much time spent on a non story, Broonie will be fine for Sunday.

     

     

    More importantly for the CQN 11, What’s for Tea ?

     

     

    Martin42 I hope you’re done and dusted (in a good way) and back on your feet quickly.

    Absolutely. Criticism is one thing. Art didn’t criticise me. He called me a ‘runt’. That is not criticism. If Art, yourself or any other contributor takes an issue with my opinion, that it entirely fine. Indeed, I may change my opinion if the contrary argument is persuasive.

  14. Haven’t read back yet.

     

    I expect Scott Brown will be ‘Man of the Match’ regardless

    Squire junior is doing his dissertation on the effects of the Offensive Behaviour at Football and Threatening Communications (Scotland) Act

     

     

    As part of his work he has prepared a survey to be undertaken by Celtic fans

     

     

    I – and obviously he – would be very grateful if you could take a few minutes of your time to complete his survey which is attached below

     

     

    He is interested in the more nature demographic prevalent on CQN ha ha

     

     

    Thanks very much.

    Well, it was never going to be – Scott Brown suffers dizzy spells and sits down days after Ciftci’s violent kick…

    Ha ha absolutely not.

     

     

    He wants to get as wide a cross section as poss. He can get the young team through Facebook & twitter and the like.

     

     

    He wants to reflect the whole Celtic demographic as its a subject that causes strong feelings among the support

  25. Wits,

     

     

    Backed your two tips, my bets e/w more or less covered with the first one…here’s hoping the next one stoats, will watch it in the BV. HH
