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.

    It’s a battle of wits with me and Caesar, he’s practically cleared the place of magpies so I reckon everyone is feeding him now.

     

     

    Ano but I was bored being off work, my daughter and son reckons I’ve turned him into a dog and calling me the cat whisperer:))))

    If I wanted my son playing fitba, to adopt a role model. I would advise him to choose Efe Ambrose. I love the big Rastafarian.

    Hell hath no hunhole like Kilwinning,but I loved it. Still do,obviously. Didn’t need to fight,genuinely didn’t know my mates were Protestants and I was a Catholic. Didnae bother us,you coming out to play?

     

     

    The innocence of 8yo youth got knocked out of me when I moved to a more mixed town,Ardrossan. The tenth circle of hell.

    Anthony Wedgewood Benn and Robert (30,000 votes) Sands are my two present life political heroes. Two before then were Embra’s James Connolly and Glesca’s John MacLean. God bless and protect their rebel souls.

    Can see you and Caesar on Britain’s got talent …would be interesting seeing you doing the disciplines they do with dogs , into the bargain the judges would be terrified to vote him off :))

     

    Enjoy the semi . Might meet up in the international after it .

    Jim Kennedy controlled tickets for CSC’s in the 80’s. He liked our Lisbon Lions CSC and we always got lots of tickets off Jim. I thought he was a great big guy who seemed to like me and did our CSC a few favours. Happy Days

    The Queen is Dead is dynamite.

     

    You know I disapprove of tattoos.

     

    If I was to have any words printed on my body they would be.

     

    “There is a Light and It Never Goes Out.”

  11. Surely as Celtic are so far ahead in the League….. it makes sense to let Sevco have the 3rd game against the CHAMPIONEEEEEESSSSS.

     

     

    I’m sure Celtic would happily refund the dudes.

    Next time we catch up, ask me about the Sacred Heart tattoo.

     

     

    I’m sure even Pete would approve!

    My grandad Delaney said “Do not display on your body, what lives in your heart.”

     

    He meant tattoos, medallions and Celtic colours to the games. Old school Sligo man.

  15. VFR,

     

     

    I’m not as bad they say. ;))

    I dinnae agree with the Palestine flags being flown as normal, I understand the Reason behind it.

     

     

    I have Pointed out the Israeli flag.

     

     

    I have no idea why a FLAG fricken influences so many people. Unfortunately it does.

     

     

    It was GREAT to see the FC @ Mordor.

     

     

    Oh Sit DOWN

    Flying the Palestine flag is not Anti Semitic nor Anti Jewish.

     

    It is anti fascism, anti zionist to me.

  19. A bit off topic here guys, I like the old golf, I know a lot of people don’t.

     

    Watching Bubba Watson on the masters and he has adopted/fostered a couple of kids, put money into his hometown baseball team, gave his hometown hospital (2.1 millions dollars) and bought a couple of shops so people could have jobs…. What a guy.. Watching him here and he is crying when giving hospital the cash, a very passionate and thoughtful guy.

    Adagio for Strings is by a distance my favourite piece of Classica music.

     

    Tiesto did a great cover which sounded amazing to me on LSD. Great night in Spain.

  21. DD,

     

     

    macjay1 is not posting any more, he was Big time yer side of the argument. Any info?

    Obviously not anti semitic, tbh I dinnae wanna go down this road.

  22. !!Bada Bing!! on

    D66 beat me to it, what a great guy , i will be wishing him well from now on….but not The Masters, always good to see guys use their fame and benefit others.

  23. Bada Bing that piece of film blew me away.

     

    What a real passionate, caring human being, I know he has the wealth to do these things but he also has it in his heart.

    MIT No way is Rory a Tim. While recognising that he is a hell of a golfer I’m conflicted by him.
