Madden semi-final ref, what were the odds?

1107

What were the odds of Bobby Madden being appointed referee for our Scottish Cup semi-final against Newco?  Fairly short, I would imagine.  All we want from Bobby is a fair crack of the whip.  When a Newco player lunges with both feet off the ground at Patrick Roberts, we don’t expect him to be distracted by checking his watch.  When Leigh Griffiths is taken down, waist high, inside the box, before his opponent can get near the ball, we expect a penalty.

Such expectations were not on the coupon previously but are not too much to ask.

  3. DD The British government and its security services have been caught in a massive lie with the Skirpal case and when pressed to provide facts it will do what it has always done and hide behind the ‘Official Secrets Act’. Hh

    No I don’t. This Cold War then Third World War started by beelzebub lizard May666. Has been prophesised.

     

    You are watching a charade by an unelected PM and her insane Foreign Secretary. Filmed for Rupert Murdoch productions. Scunnered at how it got here Ernie.

    Do you accept that the Skirpals were poisoned with a nerve agent?

     

    ====================================================

     

    Or, an Agent from Cafe Nervosa?

    You mean BoJo misrepresenting what he had been told by Porton Down?

     

     

    Bottom line is that the Skirpals have been poisoned with a nerve agent and the only credible culprits are the Russian State.

     

     

    And, for the record, Litvinenko was murdered by agents of the Russian State using polonium. Doubtless some on here will parrot the Russian denials about that as well.

    Good luck to our Celt, Jamie Lindsay, at Ross County tomorrow against Hibs. It’s been a tough shift with, at least, three people picking the game squad since you pitched up there.

     

     

    We’d be top of the Dev League with you and Regan Hendry here. That’s how football works now.

  12. talking about James and tomorrow

     

     

    the best celtic video made ever

    count yourself in , how many games you were at, watched, saw, or were told about,

     

     

    it needs another chapter.

     

     

    still brilliant/

     

     

    tomorrow coming out the lisbon tunnel is quite brilliant.

  13. The SFA is the SFA.

     

     

    The assault on Scott Brown was especially disturbing as it came from a Ross County player.

     

     

    Celtic welcomed them very warmly (the stadium announcer did anyway) and they had an excellent travelling Support.

     

     

    The utter nonsense by the officials in Scotland especially the “managing” the game p!sh is as bankrupt as well… well.

     

     

    Just apply the Rules.

     

     

    The officials (scum) are in overdrive – the SFA sanctioned ones anyway.

     

     

    Millions of pounds can be dependent on a goal in a Celtic game…….. as most know late goals are usually the winners.

     

     

    If Celtic are 3 or more goals to the good, despite 5 or 6 subs, as it is Celtic players being injured… and the Official does the 1 minute.

     

     

    The SFA is Bankrupt. Morally.

     

     

    They have to go.

    Ernie Unlike you I will await the outcome of due process before deciding upon guilt.

     

     

    ###

     

     

    I’m still waiting for due process in the Litvinyenko case.

     

     

    Don’t think it’s very likely though.

  15. Delaneys Dunky on 6th April 2018 11:34 pm

     

     

    So were the Skirpals poisoned at all then, or is it all just made up?

  16. Mahe, looks like I missed a good quiz (reading back) so well done for organising. Will try to be on next week.

     

     

    Any chance of a picture round? Always goes down well.

     

     

    I see ole Ernie is back on fishing. Trying to control the narrative. Correct me if I’m wrong Ern but didn’t the scientist who developed the highly pish nerve agent go to work for the Americans?

     

     

    Where it was further developed. Allegedly.

     

     

    Anyhoo, why should I bother about spies being wiped out. They are only doing it for the money/prestige/danger. Feck em. They would murder my family without blinking an eye for a pay-off.

    Liam Gallagher was excellent at Benicassim last year. Mind you so was the XTC. He was on it wi the Glesca bhoys. Great show. ;)

    I think the River City team could have done a better job.

     

    I think the whole incident was faked. No Novichok was used in this fictional production.
