Inadequate Two-Bob Hardmen

248

I’ve watched the after-match video from last night’s Rangers Women-Celtic Women game several times, showing Celtic Women’s manager, Fran Alonso being attacked from behind by an opposition coach.

What happened is consistent with the Two-Bob Hardmen who pace the lines at kids, non-league and now apparently, women’s games.  The most common target is the referee, who is very much on his own, but commonly involves opposition coaches, players and even their own team’s players.

There is an ocean of inadequacy masquerading as aggression in the grassroots game, last night’s incident was an example.  We have yet to hear from the police and football authorities, who I expect to act in due course, to look away would be a betrayal of those who work at games away from the TV cameras.  You can be assured that Michael Nicholson would dismiss such an offender from Celtic without the inappropriate delay across the city.

  1. Canamalar it looks like OCD obsession on

    St Stive,

     

    Aye that’s right, cause all the dictators of other countries and caliphates that still enjoy their chicken remain in place. You could say its like taking the soup eh.

  2. Hi Bhoys

     

     

    I hate the cheating in football like rolling around injured and sneaking back onto the park etc. But as we have suffered from it for years it was nice to see the shoe on the other foot tonight.

     

     

    KEEP THE FAITH

  3. Calmac in the last 30s was outstanding.

     

    Not another player in the country could do that

    Thanks again bhoys for birthday wishes. I really appreciate it. Only another year for state pension. Ffs how can anyone live on that? I’m not being flippant, it’s a disgrace.

  5. Hard earned but brilliant result

     

    Played with a modern ball which does not work on an old fashioned pitch.

  6. Well done to Scotland. Credit where credit is due.

    John Hampden, conspirator, was born #OnThisDay 1653. Hampden was arrested in 1683 for complicity in the Rye House Plot, a plan to assassinate Charles II and his brother. Imprisoned but not executed, Hampden coined the phrase ‘Glorious Revolution’ to describe the events of 1688.

  8. Well done Scotland, Steve Clarke has the national team playing like a good club side and it’s working just fine.

     

     

    Glad Ange has the same attitude, we can beat anyone at Celtic Park on our day…

     

     

    SAINT STIVS @ 10:09 PM,

     

     

    We have John Hampden Grammar School in the town – a local hero in these parts…

     

     

    Hail Hail

  10. Bigrailroad blues …..Both my parents do exactly that …live on the state pension ..both in 80’s and true Celts …God bless them they gave me wisdom …and the gift of faith and Celtic

    Don’t delete. The pension is a disgrace. My Polish father in law used to send money from his pension to his friends and family to help out. Today they would be sending money to him!

     

    Oh, and by the way:SFTB at 6:04

     

    We are all SFTB…… we’ll, nearly all :))

  12. bigrailroadblues on

    Carpe Diem

     

    That’s why I wanted the post removed C. I hope no offence taken. I’ve been drinking since Moses was a choirbhoy. 😂

  13. Prestonpans bhoys on

    Not only is the state pension pathetically low the movement of the age date is a absolute disgrace. From 65 to 66, then 67 and a potential move to 68 years old. France going tonto with 62 to 64, wonder what they would do in our UK scheme 🤔
