Hampden hangover

322

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!

    Chic Young and Murdo McLeod want the player let off because this unfair on the lad to miss the final.What if Meekings scores the winner in the final? What questions would be asked of the compliance officer?

    Some Celtic fans arriving in the ole city of discovery stone cold sober, and not coping particularly well.

  3. Murdo nailed them on….do you think atleast one of the officials seen t.

     

     

    Answer.. mumble, mumble, mumble.

     

     

    Murdo..c’mon noo do believe that?

     

     

    Anyways…some very happy huns in work are over the moon that we didn’t do a trebble, I’d actually thought some had been made redundant in the pay off.

     

     

    Oh well, revenge is sweet.

  4. Fingers crossed for a victory tonight.

     

    A big shout out, for the fans who travel home and away. It’s cost them a fortune lately.

     

    They are truly a dedicated bunch.

     

    If any of my friends or my son, who are up in Dundee, are lurking. Willie Maley was his name.

    And they all appear to have forgotten the ref booking the wrong Inverness player (though appearing to know that), which would’ve put the other player out of the final.

    My father said the same thing about golf to me. In your line of work – meaning collar and tie no a trade – you should take up gowf!

     

    Never really bothered and I don’t see it would have made any in roads. In his line of work it helps get you a collar and tie job though.

    The last few games have seen us start in second gear. We must come out tonight with all guns blazing and keep that going until this league is won.

     

    Eyes on the only prize that REALLY matters this season.
