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.

    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.

     

    ————

     

    And yet he’s one of the most hated guys on the tour, lots of not very nice stories about him if you believe the internet.

    Awesome seeing the real wan there @ Celtic Park.

     

     

    Michelle is Gorgeous, even my Sister asked if I was needing treatment, My Oldest Sister backed me up over in Switzerland by saying she was “saying nothing”.

     

     

    I told Mary after that, that my fear is so Many have no Faith no more.

     

     

    Expressing Faith is not a crime, well you will be ridiculed Howevaaaah.

    Gangstas Paradise is one of the best tunes in my life so far.

     

    I met MacJay the tory, fenian, Christ and Celtic loving man. Met his gorgeous half Mexican/Scottish intelligent, stunning looking daughter too. He is blessed.

  5. The Huddle I have never heard any bad stories about him, just watching that piece of film tells me he is passionate about helping….. I know that was only a 10 min film, but there must be some truth in it…..unless the Russians….. Nah I’m no going there. :)

  6. DD,

     

     

    I’d love to hear his take on what is happening the noo.

     

     

    I reckon he’d be conflicted as the Poison story

     

    has more than meets the eye.

     

     

    ernie has raised legitimate concerns, those that control IA…………oops AI.

     

     

    There is just wan Truth though. JC.

    Massive Attack and Portishead represented Bristol well at Benicassim. Prodigy and Chemical Brothers were better though. Dynamite

    For some reason they did a poll asking the 100 tour players who they hated playing with and Bubba came first by a mile, interestingly in second place was Patrick Reed :O)

     

     

    Bubba has said some not so nice things to say about others.

  9. Oh and considering how many arseholes are on the tour, that’s some going being number 1 :O)

  10. The Huddle, but that could be his playing style, his winner attitude, a bit of arrogance that all sportsmen/ woman need, maybe his shines through more than others, or maybe he is an arsehole.

     

    I for one will look at him in a different light after watching that film.

     

     

    Hail Hail

    I said to Aidan that Liam and Noel would be there @ the Etihad……. he said No they are on tours.

     

     

    He likes both their stuff.

    Nah it’s his attitude on the tour that the players hate, but that doesn’t explain why the American public hate him. Simple google :O)

    Us Dalmuir punters swim wi the fish in Loch Humphrey on sunny days. You Dumbarton and Vale punters all seem to be fishermen.

     

    Mon the Fish ;))

  16. Phil Mickelson is another one, plays up to the public yet so much hate towards him if you listen to the yanks

  17. The Huddle don’t know about all that, all I am saying the things he done in that film (bubba) were acts of decent human kindness.

  19. Delaneys Dunky,

     

     

    It was me and Dandy on mountain bikes with a Litre of Vodka. The Fish were always safe when we were fishing.

     

     

    Superb days with Tony Kane as well.

    Breakaway is one of the best Scottish Albums ever. Only New Gold Dream, and The Frattellis and Glasvegas eponymous beat it for me. Twin Atlantic getting close.

    It was me and my mates wi a quarter of blaw and a bag of magic mushys up the Humphrey.

     

    Happy Days

    Saw Liam and Noel separately in Benicassim in the last two years. Both finished their separate shows with Champagne Supernova.

     

    What does that tell you Peter?

    That their earlier work was better.

     

     

    I have a long story about that song, it is massive to me.

     

     

    Milton Keynes isnae my favourite place….. this happened on the day howevaaah.

    The Gallagher brothers Noel and Liam are the two most intelligent dudes in the music industry today. Champagne Supernova should be the Manchester National Anthem.

     

    Oasis best ever song. Me? Liam and Noel think so. Listen to the words closely. Genius

  25. DD,

     

     

    With Respect, I had taken a 2nd tab as my m8 had freaked out @ the Helter Skelter event.

     

     

    I drove hundreds of miles for that Night.

     

     

    Anyway, Glass breaking, dog barking had me clinging on to this tune on my headphones. I thought it was all over.
