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.

    I agree it was a crass statement at the time and something I hope he regrets saying but I loved him as a player .

    Wee reminder that Mahe The Madman will be running a Friday night CQN Quiz tonight from California at 20.00 hours. Not sure what time that is on West Coast USA?

    Good afternoon from o’ Neills, York – nice place for a quiet pint ( Guinness hophouse lager) while the mudder, wife and daughter go to Lush.

     

     

    Hope you enjoy your visit… plenty of places to eat and drink

    As the tributes flow on after his death I don’t think you’ll hear a bad word about the guy.

     

     

    From afar he seemed like a genuinely good bloke.

     

    Those that knew him more closely would no doubt agree with that opinion.

     

     

    I’ve got to be honest and say I don’t agree with a lot of your posts but regardless of that I hope you’re health is ok and your doing well.

    Can anybody tell me where Hebcelt jnr can watch our game on Sunday in San Francisco? Many thanks H H Hebcelt

     

    =====

     

    Fiddlers Green (the pub) in Millbrae, is where the San Francisco CSC watch all the games. It will be a 4.30 a.m. kick off. Unfortunately the bar doesn’t open till 7 a.m. but usually some of the regulars have their boots (trunks in USA) full of booze and share it. There is another Celtic bar in the city, will try and find out where.

    Leading a raggle taggle gypsy life has served me well in the past. Now I am ‘In search of a rose’ and starting to see the ‘Bigger Picture’

    We got the Raggle Taggle Gypsey as a poem at St.Columba’s, circa 1951ish.

    Philvis-style Thumbs-up. A compelling and poignant track,and suitably underplayed video.

     

     

    Aye,it sure helps at times.

    Would love “A Bang On The Ear.”

     

    It started up in Fife, but ended up in tears.

     

    Genius lyric that could have been written for me. :)

  23. How on earth can the Authorities justify not increasing Davies` two game ban for his stamp on Broonie?

     

    Absolutely dreadful.

    It fell just short of castration.
