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.

    its celtic faults they got beat for forcing them to play the game midweek.

    Sevco played two up front today. Both scored, including Methusaleh Misser, as did both wingers. Why did we persist with one up front, at home, against Dundee? Not only that, but our sole man up front, Dembele, barely reached jogging pace, before Brendan decided, far too late, to throw on Griffiths and Eduoard.

     

     

    One barely mobile front man, combined with a build up tempo resembling that of a sloth, just played into the hands of Dundee. Let’s just hope we are a tad more adventurous tomorrow.

     

     

    Just watched Kompany rocket a header from a corner into the Man U net. Why can’t we do that?

     

    Oh! Yes, I remember now. We have no one that can take a decent corner. One goal all season, if I recall, from goodness knows how many corners.

     

     

    We need to grab the initiative right from the kick off in the semi final next week. The longer we are at even stevens, the easier it will be for the MIB to exert a perfidious and possibly decisive effect on the result.

    Socialist Realism can be good for a laugh . MG Sokolov ‘s painting of Lenin’s arrival at the Finland Station includes a beaming Uncle Joe standing above wee Vlad on the carriage steps .Stalin was never on the train / never on the carriage — but Hey -needs must .

    With respect you sound like a conspiracy theorist.

    Is the above allowed?

    Can’t disagree with any of that . If you were to look at out possession and pass completion stats you would be expecting them to be accompanied by at least a goal or two more per game. The worst example was probably the most recent game at Rugby park where our first shot on goal was a free kick in the 90th minute, comfortably saved by the keeper.

  8. Moderator 2 Can you please confirm if the shocking post by Ernie Lynch questioning the intelligence of CQN posters was deleted. Hh

    If you are referring to post at 5:35, yes.

  10. We deserve better. We deserve to see Celtic fly out the traps every game and win by at least 4-0 with minimum of one worldy amongst that. We deserve to have our tactical pish taken on board by the management team and executed as we see it; anything less is a disgrace and the obvious actions of custodians who do not know what they are doing. We deserve to see a five-goal pumping of Hamilton tomorrow or there should be a boycott until the board realise the club is dying on its feet. We deserve…

     

     

    We deserve…

     

     

    We deserve…

     

     

    Better?

     

     

    An unprecedented double-treble. domination over nearest rivals. Domination over the scurrilous cheating bigots. CL football. Euro football. Top-quality players. A top-quality manager. Trophies galore. Records galore.

     

     

    Bring back the 90s.

    Hang on.

     

     

    You obviously read the post, but were unable to see for yourself that it had been deleted and had to ask someone else to confirm that for you?

     

     

    Are you trying to prove my point?

    My all time Celtic hero is Paul McStay, who is yours?

    Jinky.

     

     

    On and off the field.

     

     

    Or maybe Bertie Auld. Likewise, on and off the field.

  13. Just to be clear, it’s unacceptable to suggest that unnamed posters might be thick or nutjobs or detached from reality (for reasons specified) but acceptable to describe a named poster as a conspiracy theorist.

     

     

    That’s OK then.

     

     

    BTW I’ve no objection to any posts directed at me and don’t see why they should be deleted.

    So I get deleted for thinking someone is an arsehole, what is the world coming to

    You might have got away with it if you’d just thought it. I think your mistake was to say what you thought.

     

     

    It’s getting to be like Putin’s Russia on here.

  15. Delaneys Dunky on

    The lack of common courtesy, bad manners, disrespect towards your peers and downright rudeness has been terrible on here today.

     

    It is getting more like Westminster on here.

    I used to think you were a journo, now I’m not so sure, maybes a failed one and now a politician, who knows, if the truth be know, who the feck cares, but your true red white and blue colours are showing big time.

  17. I’m a unrepentant conspiracy theorist. With good reason ,because many of said conspiracies turn out to be factual.

     

     

    I would actually take that as a compliment.

     

     

    HH.

  18. Pogba 2 goals in 2 minutes, before that Gary Neville saying he could be substituted,experts eh!!!

  19. Man City have conceded as many goals in their last two games as Celtic have domestically this year. :-)
