Let’s be clear: Dundee are in their best form in years and are more than capable of taking something from Celtic tonight. They also have the incentive of catching Dundee United, who have collapsed since Celtic dismantled them recently. If there is any sort of Hampden hangover, we’ll not win the game.
What I expect is the cup-tied pair of Gary Mackay-Steven and Stuart Armstrong to return to the side and give fresh impetus. I also expect Dundee to suffer the most outrageously unfair refereeing decision seen outside of Hampden in years; proof (cough), if it was needed, that referees don’t only make mistakes against Celtic.
If Leigh Griffiths collides with Scott Brown inside the Dundee box, Celtic will be awarded a penalty. These are our expectations of the Scottish game.
I bear no ill-feeling towards Josh Meekings. He stuck his hand up to stop a ball instinctively. I’ve done the same, a moment later you’re looking at your hand wondering, ‘Why did I do that?’ So I felt the player being suspended was a bit harsh. Then I saw him posing with his ‘trophy’ hand. Stuff him.
My only dispute with the SFA is that their rules allow retrospective action when a referee has not seen an incident. Mr McLean saw everything, but was persuaded not to act.
Have you climbed Ben Nevis? It’s a fantastic experience. The Foundation are taking a group there in June, and anything the Foundation do is a fantastic experience. I know several people who have told me they’re doing this but who have not registered yet. Your place needs to be booked with the mountain authorities well in advance. Register here NOW!

Ok. A compromise?
We’re comfortably ahead.
We get a token Tim penalty.
Broonie boots it over the bar and down the Tannadice Rd.
Naw, not the ba’. The ref!!!!!

The sfa have charged the player because they knew everybody wouldn’t be happy about it and divert the attention away from the hun that cheated, now everybody is talking about the player and not the ref.
The Sfa are not up to it.
All their officials never seen the foul
so punish the player whom the officials did not think fouled.
They are not up to their duties
much in the same way dungcaster did last week with
the end of season fixture nonsense in the SPFL
people look for leadership and there is none there.
no leadership in the SFA
no leadership in the SPFL
a haven for cheating skankery

Out of interest what do the masons actually do?
———————————
Just off the top of my head which i have witnessed throughout the years:
Water down all the spirits behind the bar/empty the one armed bandits and split the proceedings between each other/put up as many photo’s of the old whore as they can & trade behind closed doors when proper publicans abide by the laws.
And some of them have dreadful body odours.

You’ve opened a whole new meaning to the word cavorting!!

I was 50/50 on “cavorting” and “romping”…
I get the feeling if the sfa took no action against Meekings we’d still have some complaining.

For the record, I would like to confirm that during my formative years in that place to the age of 16, I never once entered “the Busby Ludge”, although I could well point towards a few locals who may have partaken of that activity! :))

re the roll of honour
i read a judges comment about the easter road case that hibs fans were obviously offended by it hence its an offence so the guy got done
i doubt anyone in the hibs end either knew the words or took offence
and another point that some of our more knowledgeable posters can enlighten me on…
the hunger strikers werent acting under orders from their paramilitary leaders, they were doing what they done of their own choosing
so the fact they were ira/inla members wasnt why they done it, so isnt the point of the song, which doesnt mention or seek to glorify any organisation, its just about the induviduals
so the judgement is nonsense

The citing of Josh Meekings is the first time a player has been charged with preventing a goal scoring opportunity after the fact. It is both an admission of and support for the position adopted by the officials that they did not see the incident at hand. Actually this was pointed out on here last night and apologies for not making a note. (nb next time!) You were right. An economy of the truth SFA style.

Did you and your good lady have a good time overby last Week?

Maks sense tae me, and it maks sensibility tae Mo.
HT,
Aye and no neebs.
I turned one down last week and am now regretting as it’s not on the box.
I’m working till six now and faither duties after. :(
Many thanks in advance if you were gonna offer a ticket. Yerra gent

We are a fickle bunch.
It was only a few weeks ago Efe was being absolutely lambasted by most on here now he is almost first pick tonight.
A few months ago Chris Sutton was a horrible cretin and no Celtic legend and now he is being praised for his comments.
John Hartson and McAvennie are no longer legends but money grabbing mercenaries.
Tosh McKinlay is a thick Tim.
Really?
Maybe it is the heat but it’s all gone a bit mental.
LB
Well the clowns only had 2 possible answers
A. We thought it hit him on the face or
B. We wanted to prevent the Fenian Barstewards from winning the Treble.
HT,
And if you were only asking so you could gloat, that’s fine too lol

My corset strings have just been tightened and I’ve been told ‘go and chop that bloody chicken’.

but it IS covered under the rules, albeit a cover all bases rule, so shouldnt be a surprise it got raised
but as i said earlier, any easy out for the sfa, player and ref so he will play in the final
if selected :-)
Sorry to point this out but in August after we lost to Caley we went to Dens and only got a draw.
Lb,
I don’t think anyone who is picking him tonight lambasted him anytime recently.
As for your main point….fickle fans….could not agree more

Brilliant mate, absolutely memorable.

No worries I was going to see if I could help.
Right, chop chop.
UEFA Vice Pres,Jim Boyce says Meekings should not be banned,’a dangerous precedent…’
