What is the cost of Tom Rogic’s continuing absence for another two months? Tom has scored more than a few winning or equalising goals over the last two years. We could need him to deliver the third leg of the treble, or to keep the winning run in the league going, but this will not be the real cost.
Tom has been robbed of a precious three months during the most effective spell of his professional life. He improved with every passing month, got stronger, lasted the entire game and even scored a last minute winner.
With competition as it is at Celtic, he’ll be distraught. The personal target of all those who have been on an upward trajectory this season is to put their name on the team sheet for the summer’s Champions League qualifiers. For a player who the manager insisted worked for months before he was relied upon to last 90 minutes, any time he gets before the end of the season will be about recuperation.
For now, there should be no personal targets for Tom apart from being fully fit come June.
You know when you read a nugget which encapsulates much of the journey Scottish football has been on in recent decades? Chick Charnley yesterday on Jim Duffy: “When I played for him at Dundee and Hibs, he would give me Mondays off because he knew I enjoyed my weekends.”
And that was Chic making the case that Jim should have a higher job! Cheers.
Another quote to consider, this time from Brendan:
“There are three types of supporters. The first type who absolutely love you because you are the manager of Celtic. It doesn’t matter what you do, they’ll give you shirts and want you to sign everything.
“The second group are: ‘Okay, we’ll give you a chance and let’s see how you do. See if you win games and I’ll decide’.
“The third group, that’s the group who if you won five they’ll say you should have won seven. ‘You won 5-2? Why did you let in the two goals?’ You can never win!”
I wonder if he’s spoken to Gordon Strachan?
Oldtim
A question for those of you who have been here since the early days:
Oldtim made a significant first post on CQN but neither he nor I have a copy of it. It was, however, copied and referred to by many in the months that followed. If you have a copy, let me know. Thanks.

Evening Celts

Daft would be putting it mildly, so i will just say stupid:)
Mon the Morton
HH
bloody annoyed they spoiled a great cqn music and nostalgia night.
anyways warburton has a water tight contract
clause 16.90
“our client can only be removed from the position, without recompense, in the event, that , the employer , shall present in the office of the steward, one handsome hun”
leaky-wiks
If the Breadman has gone it could be Morton for rolls on Sunday.
the new myth – if you can survive liquidation I guess you can also survive a resignation.
WOW,wow wow
Magnificent.
Rangers will be turning in their grave CSC
Can’t help thinking Joey B is pishing himself laughing tonight.
The new manager will be like a new signing
Mark Hateley
It’s Neil Lennon’s fault !!
Oh wait actually it might be, ye ha, oh the joy !!!!!!
when the next management team with the qualifications of “EBT” receiver comes in, makes it easy for HMRC to know where they are
after the announcement in march.
A wee Sash sesh
BSR
Brilliant….nearly spilled my wine….only nearly, mind
just when you thought they couldn’t become any more of a laughing stock…
With respect to those who have said admin is on the way, from a financial point of view, admin makes no sense whatsoever, the only answer for them is liquidation, even then they are at the mercy of another plague of scavengers.
Admin will NOT happen, mainly cos they are due cash to other huns, think about it.
Dear God Almighty!!
I have just read the statement which may have been taken down from the website according to the radio!
Who in their right mind sanctioned THAT as a company statement?
Absolutely astounding incompetence!
Hearing website has been hacked…
Here’s hoping.
BSR
the turning in the grave one I meant……. though the other was fine too
Gazza has just arrived at Ibrox with a chicken and a fishing rod, saying he’s a friend of Mark Warburton.
The sevco statement is contradicting itself …..one minute they are saying the agent has asked sevco to release them and they won’t claim compensation, then sevco say “despite the cost”
This is fekin brilliant news….
Are they starting to realise the implications on the assets of HMRC winning the appeal ….. panic setting in ??
Good evening Bhoys and Ghirls,
Great read today. Can I respectfully request that when it happens we don’t feed the trolls? They’ll be back and their posts will get more and more outrageous the more they are ignored but eventually the blog will prevail.
On tonight’s entertainment I can only assume their website has been hacked. I mean if that statement was actually released by a professional organisation….
TGSC,
Sailing On….
Blame the Russians!

BARNIE67.
Thanks for putting that post from 2013 0n the on the blog.brought a tear to my eye reading it,but it was a post from the first year of CQN it was about Lisbon 67, When 6 of us drove to watch the game.
I know that Glasgow Dave had it saved as he put it on the blog a couple of years later. I haven’t his addie at present to get in touch with him, hopefully he’ll be lurking and e-mail it to me.By the way there;s £50 for anyone that come’s up with the info.
By the way thanks to all who liked that post,and thanks to Barnie who dug it up. Dave.
I recon Big Pete logged into CQN noted the harmony and it dropped him off a cliff into the abys were he hacked the official Hun site to try to sow the same seeds of harmony. :@-)))
Sorry Big Pete I couldn’t miss this opportunity ;@-)))

SSN breaking news
“Sevco Football Club would like to clarify a statement made by the club which, for reasons we do not understand, has caused unwarranted and highly unwelcome confusion.
In our view, our statement was clear and unequivocal. Mark Warburton and his backroom staff have re-signed…(on a bumper contract for 4 years or the life of the club whichever is less).
We are unclear as to how this confusion has arisen but we do suspect the unseen Fenian hand.”
