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.

    Look – if this is a fabrication by the Sun – I will be the first to condemn and I WILL pursue them through my contacts – that is a promise.

    Not many people get the privilege of being the captain of Glasgow Celtic When you do you embrace it not damage it!!!

     

     

    Hope they are old pictures.!!!

     

    =====================================================

     

     

    100% agree

     

     

    I hope to God the pictures are old.

     

     

    Let’s get this out in the open TODAY – we have to know, one way or the other.

     

     

    If false we go after the Sun like the Liverpudlians did – if true we must act on Scott Brown.

     

     

    Only two choices !!!!!

    Surprised by Paul’s leader. One of the reasons why Scottish players are crap is because of the unprofessionalism. What a joke.

    Just had some German youths throw and smash a bottle next to my car, outside my house. I had just poured my first drink of the day, G&T with sliced lemon and lime, before I went for a shower.

     

    I don’t think they had ever experienced a Jock in a dressing gown in full flow before, lol, the culprit very sheepishly picked up as many shards of glass as he possibly could and meekly apologised. The F-word will still be ringing in his ears when he wakes up tomorrow!

  8. Alfie N are you known personally any of the bloggers on this site? The reason I ask is,you do’nt project yourself very well. Maybe if someone on here knew the “real you” they could say you were a sound guy, just coming across wrong or in fact what you see is what you get – just curious. H H Hebcelt

  9. On another point.

     

    Are there any former players doing the stadium tours at Parkhead?

     

    Might bring my autograph book!!

     

     

    I agree with the sentiment that the press have written our team talk for Sunday.

    Sun front page shows Broonie sitting on a pavement half cut (or fully cut) having previously visited a strip club (seemingly). Amazing how his hair grew so quickly after Sunday’s game. Might be an old photo. No doubt questions will be asked at pre match briefing of the press.

  12. Alfie,gonnae geeze peace?

     

     

    You are rivaling KevJungle in the monotonous poster of the week award.

    Alfie,

     

     

    There are three choices,

     

    the third choice is to ignore the story.

     

     

    Happy Celticing

  14. What is this world coming to when someone sits down on a public street.

     

    I am sick to death of this. I am going to write to someone in power to demand answers. Someone like dave king.

    I know no one, to my knowledge, who posts here.

     

     

    I am always honest in my posts and never resort to hiding behind cliches, or, gang-up with other posters to ‘put the boot in’ to anyone I don’t agree with.

     

     

    People are free to disagree with me, that’s free speech – I expect no less in expressng my view, and NOT to be called a ‘hun’

    Aye yer right, that’s why Jinky, George Best and all the great players of the 60’s and 70’s were shite. Not like their professional, highly paid, Prima Donna counterparts of today who not only play exquisite football but also manage to combine it with synchronised diving.

    HebCelt,

     

     

    The guy is targeted for some reason on here. It is distasteful bullying. Let the man post without having him vetted first, no? Only a blog. Enjoy the weather.

    Reading his posts used to make me angry, but now I give them a “Miss Jean Brodie” voice & accent, and I just can’t stop laughing!

  21. Alfie do you believe the Sun story or in fact do you know it is 100% factually correct? H H Hebcelt

  22. North Cyprus…………………

     

     

    I usually scroll by but noticed he was getting it stiff from some of the bhoys so I read back his post.

     

     

    If me saying his post was a lot of unadulterated pish is bullying him, then I am a bully.

     

     

    Shame on me Phil!
