Starting with a blank sheet of paper and a player found guilty of biting an opponent, I’d struggle to justify a punishment less than 6 games. It’s by no means the worst thing that happens on a football field, or the most dangerous, but it’s primitive, unhygienic and poses health risks.
Few of us have prior knowledge of Nadir Ciftci, so there’s little point in looking online for character references. The player was charged with biting an opponent. He denied the allegation but was found guilty by an SFA disciplinary panel yesterday. I’ve seen photos of Jim McAlister’s bite-sized leg wound and have no interest in hearing mitigating comment about what happened during the Dundee derby.
Despite this, Nadir is having a good month. He signed for Celtic, made his debut and potentially has five Champions League qualifiers to play between now and his domestic suspension concluding at the end of August (yes, six league games in August). If he’s a clever guy, he’ll force his way into the manager’s plans for those five games and never look back. If not, he’ll find his card marked, like a Dundonian leg.

Many thanks for updates, Turnbull Hutton YNWA.
Honours even with chances for both sides.
Tierney and Janko impressive down the flanks and Nesbitt was a constant threat for the Bhoys.

Accrington Stanley, Who Are They?
and guaranteed this was Turnbull,s legacy …
Going forward, the club has decided to pay all of its non-footballing staff at least the Living Wage – http://www.raithrovers.net/20354/rovers-to-pay-the-living-wage.htm …

Looking good for a trip to the Bad Ass Cafe in Dublin tomorrow. See if I can work out who Cogher, Almore and WITS are!
The handsome lads I assume…..

Fitting that on the day they honour Turnbull Hutton they also show their integrity by signing up to be LW employers, fair play to them.

I will have a pink carnation in my lapel, l will have a monocle, a cigarette holder and I will be accompanied by a femme fatale,a sultry blond rumoured to be the daughter of a Russian Count
BTW, often overlooked on here re Turnbull Hutton, he never held back when it came to delivering both barrels to Celtic and the deceased huns with regards to their sharing out of the ‘big pot’ TV’ remuneration and associated revenues.
Check out his interview on the stairs of Hampden on You Tube or wherever. Still, in my mind, it makes him all the better for that…………
We cannot hold our head too high at times in respect of how we treat our fellow member clubs…..
Sure, we have had to suffer the masonic injustices over the years but to join their club…….No, we are better than that eh!
Well I hope so!
Remember where we came from eh!

No, that’s my normal weekday attire
On Saturdays it’s a little black number, fishnet stockings and high heels. But that’s my little secret

A New Club fan posting on a Burnley forum….
“I watched the game and can see that Warburton is going to be a fine manager. I don’t want to get carried away but the style was Guardiola-esque.
Great result tonight, apart from the defeat.”

There are none so blind as those….

Neustadt braw- have been out and about and was going to ask the score tonight but saw your coverage.
Excellent work bud. Exactly what I look for on Paul’s blog. Take a bow sir.
As for Turnbull. …his legacy lives on, he had my utmost respect for his very public stance on the game. Wish others could show the same courage and conviction.
