Just to correct Caley 100 regarding the Celtic game - Charlie did not hook Blackie by choice. 10 minutes before he came off he asked to come off because he was exhausted. Charlie managed to extract another 10 minutes out of a completely spent player.
From the radio commentary and knowing who the referee was yesterday, it is surprising that Black was not sent off. As everyone knows, and Strathclyde Police are perhaps a bit stricter on this, inciting the Crowd is potentially a breach of the peace. Jan Vennegor of Hessle etc was sent off at Inverness because referees are under strict orders from the police on health and safety matters.
That aside, Black seemed to engage in unnecessary altercations after getting booked so that it is a great credit to Charlie after being criticised last week for fan comments, that publicly he came out and supported Black. I suspect privately he will get a good kick up the proverbial on Monday. We can but hope wee Donald has the same ability as Cloughie who turned Kenny Burns career around.
