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.

Tell the sun to feck off
That’s a bit harsh, we would freeze :-)
I wonder who will be the first ex player to comment on how abstemious and conscientious they were prior to a big game?
I’m sure they’ll be popping up in their droves (not)
For CQN 11 we have the following guests
Tom Boyd
John Hughes
Tommy Coyne
Joe Miller
Pat Bonner
Stuart Armstrong
Archie Macpherson
Plus
The Howson original of Brother Walfrid
And
The European Cup…
Plus two wonderful singers
And there are 12 miniatures cunningly placed on tables of ten. So be quick in getting seated.
Irish National anthem at 7.30 sharp.

Well, it was never going to be – Scott Brown suffers dizzy spells and sits down days after Ciftci’s violent kick…
now, was it?
U
*****
For goodness sake, man. Get with the programme.
Scott Brown wasn’t kicked in the head by Ciftci or anyone else.
If he had been, someone would have been up on a charge,
Nope, it didn’t happen.
The gutter press have just wrote the team talk for Ronny on Sunday with their front page today. If ever there was reason to GIRUY this is it. I will be there on Sunday with my lad who has 8 on the back of his jersey as Broonie is one of his hero’s hopefully doing the Broonie at full time. Scott Brown ‘gets’ Celtic and I would have 11 Broonies in my team any day of the week. You just had to see the reaction with Ronny after we scored the third against Aberdeen. Meanwhile over at the Bigotdome the air brushing continues…. Move on nothing to see here. Hx2 Cambhoy
You have to laugh at Jim Murphy
From the Scotsman about Scottish political leaders being asked if they had ever taken drugs.
NICOLA Sturgeon and other Scottish political leaders have confessed to smoking cannabis.
The First Minister, Tory leader Ruth Davidson and Scottish Lib Dem leader Willie Rennie admitted to using the drug in their youth.
The politicians made their confessions when asked about their own drugs experience at a Glasgow University Politics Society debate held at the Queen Margaret Union.
The Labour leader Jim Murphy dodged the question when it was put to him by debate chair Colin MacKay, Radio Clyde’s political editor, saying that glue sniffing “was the thing” in the housing scheme where he used to live.
Asked if she had taken cannabis during the leaders’ debate, Ms Sturgeon said: “I think I am actually on record as making an admission on this – once, probably, possibly at this university, but not in this Union I have to say – but it made me awful sick, so I didn’t do it again.”
When the same question was asked to Mr Rennie, he answered: “Yes…in my youthful days”, a response that brought cheers and laughter from the student audience.
Mr Murphy said: “In the housing scheme where I lived glue sniffing was the thing.”
And Ms Sturgeon attempted to press Mr Murphy further by asking: “Did you?”
The Labour leader replied: “I don’t remember. It was just a working class thing to do – sniffing glue out of crisp pokes. It was a dreadful, harmful thing that was in that community at that time.”
When she was asked if she had used cannabis, Ms Davidson answered: “I went to Buckhaven High School. What do you think?”
When pressed for a more direct answer, she added: “I’m with Nicola – once or twice. It made me really sick.”
Ms Sturgeon then protested that she had only used the drug once.
Earlier Ms Sturgeon, Mr Murphy and Ms Davidson had said they were against decriminalising cannabis. Mr Rennie said there should be an open debate on the issue based on scientific evidence.
A spokesperson for Scottish Labour later issued a statement saying: “Just to be clear, Mr Murphy has never taken drugs.
“The point he was making at the Glasgow University debate was that when he was growing up drugs weren’t as widespread and that the harmful thing for many people back then was glue sniffing.
“For the record that’s not something Mr Murphy has tried either.”
How come he is the only one who has to get an official party spokesperson to deny something he hasn’t been accused of?
It’s little wonder the LP is in the state its in. Hopelessly out of touch, self regarding and terrified of real people.
DESERTBHOY
Bellends are commonplace. Universal,tbh.
Knobends are the preserve of certain posters on here.
I quite enjoy their input. Gladdens my heart that somewhere there is someone dafter than me.
But then I remember the care in the community programme,and feel guilty about feeling good.
Must be my upbringing.
The Hun has picked on the wrong guy,nobody more popular at CP ,staff and support.Will backfire big time.No coincidence Bill Lackie got the lamb treatment at Poundland on Tuesday?

Apoligies for using the word “Abstemious” on the day of a CQN gathering:-)
MINXYBABES
I’ve backed against you and I still hope you win!
Ya jooooost pleasure and nice person that you are.
Dexter – “We should not AUTOMATICALLY run to any player’s defence. Such knee-jerk and happy clapping reactions serve no useful purpose.”
Aye Dexter, but falling for fabricated SMSM flim-flam and then posting on a blog -attacking our captain – while trying to cover your arse by the use of the word `allegedely’ DOES serve a useful purpose does it?
Maybe use of the word runt was a bit harsh at the time but your call for a yellow card was very poor, so probably deserved.

So, Jim Murphy cannot remember whether he sniffed glue or not?
Funny that!
Do gluesniffers stick together ?
BMCUW
… more likely the hangover.
Different subject… heard a rumour that the bigotdome is being used as a venue for the Xfactor…. correct??
if so applicants better ckeck the insurace policy smallprint.
It’s high time our club made an example.
The stv ‘republican’ snider last week was the chance to exercise some much needed clout. We are a punchbag for the msm. Every Celtic fan can see what’s going on here.
Keevins was given the treatment but he practically begged for it over a ten year period, but he doesn’t count for me.
No, it’s the paper, radio station or TV company that should be made to account for their lamb munching, agenda driven, even things up in the Huns’ darkest hour journos.
Hurt them where it matters PL. They are BAD for business.
Oh, and enjoy the night Cqnr’s

Rats … just realised my electric razor is broken .

Abstemious is one of the few words with all the vowels once and once only in the correct order.
Had I been more abstemious earlier today,I could list the other ones. Facetious is one.
Betcha yer so half you met my Dad a month ago and not me!
Owe you for that,bud.
Is ‘stemious’ the opposite of ‘abstemious’ ?
If you remember the housing scheme that Jim Murphy went to, you probably weren’t there!
Half,glad
SoT… no… just the nostrils.
Squire,
Survey completed. So depressing to see how far down that list I had to go to find my age. Couldn’t even remember if I was full time or part time. Bl**dy dementia. But I know I’m a celtic ghirl and that it’s Friday.
Don’t really think there’s anything else I need to know, is there??!!
HH
Enjoy CQN11 everyone.

Hope everyone going to CQN11 has a great time. Take a leaf out of the captain’s book and wear a hoody and find yourself a comfy pavement -it’s still cold at night.
