Haha I bet he is! The fact he does not have the mental ability to stop himself which is effectively part of his job.
Terrible performance from the officals, are we now getting to the point where we are good enough to overcome their bias? Sign of a very good celtic team imho.

Thanks for all the updates everyone,
Working in Edinburgh today and was hitting F5 in between seeing patients!!!
Great win for us today, it’s been said before that the games we win, and don’t play well in, will be the key to the title.
Thought I’d jinxed us when I set Sky+ to record the game!!!
I like the way St Mirren play the game and expected it to be difficult. After seeing the weather I was more worried about how much of a leveller it might be. So to win 2-0 (and it should have been 3 as Rogne was not offside) was a great result. The kind that wins championships.
Btw way it started with Charlie Mulgrew is not good enough, then from somewhere it became Foster, then Sammy, and the perpetual criticism of Scott Brown.
I rarely comment on players as they can have good spells and bad spells and being by and large youngsters have room to develop. The impatience shown by critics I put down to their anxiety to win the title and once that happens I look forward to being less likely to rush to judge.
If there were English ‘scouts in the crowd’ as claimed on ESPN…then they should overcome their Celtic obsession and have a look at McGowan and Carey (OK ex-Celts) because they are value prospects who could step up their game if surrounded by better players.
Nobody on the pitch today (excepting Samaras as a remote possibility) is going anywhere soon.
Certainly did mate…had to sign up for the Bet365 thing but it is all legal. As soon as we get decent broadband speeds down here I will be doing the Celtic TV thing for sure. Setanta have pissed me off no end this season pandering to the Rugger boys…
HH and thanks for the pointer!

Is there any recourse open to the club concerning the quality of the officials? Serious question.
It is obvious that they are cheating. Rogne’s goal is the latest in a list of absolutely ridiculous decisions.
Don’t get me started on the H+S implications where the opposition can kick the seven colouors of S**t out of us with impunity.
I would also like to see Thompson’s header that was ‘cleared’ off the line in the 1st half. No inquest to see if the ball crossed the line or handball.

Agree, Francis Andrews and Crawford Allan were shocking today. Andrews in particular has form against us.
If it isn’t bias, then it is astounding incompetence.

clean sheet and two moments of quality win us the game. thats how champions do it.
another steady performance from our most consistent player and my poty fraser forster.

Scott Brown ran his socks off today. He effectively won the points.
A fantastic lay-off to Forrest and a great goal himself.
Man-of-the-match, yet still he still gets slaughtered.
He does so much of the grafting in his game, to such an extent that those who don’t really know football, don’t see it.
He gets ridiculed and lambasted by supporters who don’t see what a player gives to a team, unless he is a Jinky or a Messi. You really do have to look deeper to appreciate what Scott gives to this team.
Sorry to be so brutal, but when I read some of the disgraceful comments against the Celtic captain on this and other sites, I really do despair.
Every manager he plays under knows what he gives to a team.
It is time for his Celtic-supporting critics to look at the bigger picture.
We are lucky to have him in a Celtic jersey.
Hail Hail.

Lads do you know what puzzles me? last week huns get a goal when Healy was offside but not interfering, this week no one interfering in Rogne’s goal and the goal is disallowed hmmm.
Wee Darryl has gave me the answer to my ? about jellyfish, they need the cash to get them through to easter.
Funny I was thinking exactly the same. Foster had a great save from McGowan (I think) who was just, but definitely offside. No flag.
Rogne is onside when Commons played in the free kick, three Celts were not but would only have been off (as I understand the rule) had they touched the ball. They did not so was the goal correctly ruled of or did the linseman get it wrong? If the Collum/Hamilton version of what is offside applies then the goal should have stood.
However as you say we were good enough to overcome a good footballing side, atrocious conditions and insidious refereeing, a very good sign.

We need to improve on that and not sit still

Eyes Wide Open on
Mightily relieved – and I mean mightily relieved at getting 3 points today.
You can not overstate how important those kind of 3 points are at the end of the campaign.
Games like today are where you look back on with a thousand ‘if only’s’.
Im not going to pretend im pleased with the performance; as horrific as it would have been to try and play football out there today – it was equally as horrific for St Mirren, only at times you wouldnt have thought so (mind you it looked like the swirling wind was swirling against us in both halfs!).
For those games when the pitch is bad, the weather is worse and there are just no ideal conditions for playing football, thats when you look to fall back on your familiarity of your tactics.
We dont have any. We have players who play positions – and its as 2 dimensional as that.
We have mano on mano, go out there boys and win the game. Its more or less up to who turns up on the day.
Il end on a positive note – I was one of the ones who failed to see the potential in big FF and was really really disappointed when we re-signed him. However the big guy is on to one hell of a game at the moment, one hell of a game.
He is even starting to come off his line.
For a guy who only started taking soccer seriously over rugby at the age of 18, and factoring in the number of years he has been properly coached in comparison to other goalkeepers – the guy is all about potential.
sometimes you cant teach a new trick to an old dog – big FF is anything but.
Well done Fraser – whilst im not 110% convinced – you have succeeded in doing what few do, changed my mind about something I was adamant about a few short months ago.
ASonOfDan on
I hope that agreement we have with Newcastle for big Fraser is watertight, he kept us in the game until we got the goals.
He has been superb last couple of months.

Belated New Year Best Wishes to all…………
Good three points today in very difficult and trying conditions.
Been out of commission………..
Little in the way of contact with the outside world; back on line after five weeks of storms, rain, etc., no big deal, all things considered.
Anyway, plan to to be in Pollok/Larkhall/Parkhead start of February. Hope I don’t jinx the recent good run from the Tic.
More importantly, was reading about the wee lassie Vanessa visiting Lennoxtown and thought at the time, great to take the time etc., but these well paid guys should really put their hands in their pockets and make a significant contribution towards the fund. They did. Faith restored. Well done Scott Brown et al.
Aye, the three points are welcome but hey perspective!
