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.

    Hope City take Dedryck back to solve their defence. In a swap for Vincent. :)

    No comment from me on what is deserved, but here are the facts.

     

     

    At the end of the 2016/17 season, we had 106 goals and a goal difference of 81. At the end of 2015/16, it was 93 goals and a difference of 62. For 2014/15, it was 84 goals and a difference of 67. Today, we sit at 32 games out of 38, 62 goals and a difference of 42.

     

     

    Despite the absences of Dembele and Griffiths, our misplaced conservative approach at home against the bottom teams in the league has led directly to far fewer goals, turgid performances, and persistent ennui for major segments of the season.

  3. Delaneys,

     

    If they throw in De Gea as part of the deal, I’d drive Boyata to the airport myself ;-)

  4. And Man City don’t win the league…………………………..well, today anyway.

     

     

    Spurs at Wembley up next.

     

     

    mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

    We had an amicable and informative exchange of views on a subject of mutual interest.

     

     

    At the risk of infringing this site’s rather arcane rules of etiquette, do you think you might have an issue?

    Agreed!

     

     

    Away to watch the gold now and mibbe have a wee dram……………or two!

     

     

    Take care pal!

  9. So a solitary goal on Wednesday night and e could have clinched the title the morra on GD. As it is it now looks like the 1st game after we dump sevco out of the cup.

     

     

    It also looks like the harry wraggs are going down hopefully with today’s 0-4 losers. They have never been friends of ours, never.

     

     

    Way back just after the war when it looked as if we could get relegated, in the last game of the season with them sitting in 4th place with no hope of the title and no European places up for grabs they were on a huge bonus tae beat us that day, Bassas

  10. Evening all, scrolled back a couple of pages and then gave up. Nothing happened today the change the football landscape as we see it.

     

    We will still win the league, have a good chance of winning another treble. Why the aggro ?

     

    Heading off the Hamilton tomorrow , I understand some previously unavailable tickets have surface last week after we didn’t defeat Dundee. Just fancy?

     

    CGAF about the nonsense in Manchester today, to be honest the biggest winner are SKY TV who can perpetuate the “ best league in the world “ bollocks for a few mor weeks.

    You won’t be deleting me again tonight.

     

     

    Good night and God bless all good Tims…………..err and the Moderators as well!

     

     

    ;-)

  12. I take it the Dons defeat today means the SFA will ensure we won’t be playing Sevco on the 22nd April. Hh

    One post in which you encouraged someone to do something to someone who you used a derogatory adjective to describe.

    Philbhoy …

     

     

    A scary thought but, compared to the way many lawyers behave, most on CQN are pretty sensible and mature!

     

     

    :)

     

     

    Off to take the little guy for a walk.
