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.

Perhaps Forsyth was pished when he wrote that.
To be fair, it’s a Friday night and the story has come out of nowhere.
It looks like the argument will be whether the three offered to resign, or were negotiating the terms of a possible resignation or possibly whether they offered to resign and then withdrew that offer before it was accepted.
Wow how did i manage that lol …fud springs to mind haha .

Evening all,
what a pleasure it’s been reading back….wanna talk about cup games…..especially the 95? cup final against Airdrie…..
There me an my mate Toner (spelt Tonner) couldnae get a ticket, so decided the Brazen was the place to go…..got there early n had a few pints….general concencus was it’s gonna be tough, but we’ll win it…..as time goes by during the game…..the tension in the place was palpable…..plus it took so long to get a pint at the bar…..we went for a carry out at the shop at the flats and back into the pub. I can’t describe the release when big Pierre (drunken memory poetic licence) rose up and bulleted Tosh’s cross into the net……bedlam…..it’d been a long time coming…..the thought that we could win it…..so the final whislte eventually goes…..and we’re all jumping around like maddies…..we’re still partying away…..outside noo as the supporters busses are passin…..me on Toners shoulders him dancin me singing waving a flag ( no OldTim not yours )…..it was a great day…..first and last time I was in the Brazen ;-))
Welcome BuzzBomb67…..stay strong

I see you kept the blog up to speed with the young team tonight. Good on you.
I enjoyed the game. Regan Hendry worked the right wing like a Trojan and PJ Crossan was good until his tyres deflated after an hour. Was never a penalty, as always.
It’s third for now, not second. Won’t be long till it’s first again.
Love is the only Answer.
