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.

    Instead of getting successful, me and my highly intelligent Tim mates were getting high.

     

    We were getting high

     

    We were getting high.

    Turn on, tune in, drop out.

    May JC Jeremy Corbyn run Brittania.

    but, George Galloway is saying on his

     

    “Talk Radio” thing that, now, I’m hoping

     

    the someone could clarify this but, well

     

    this is the gist of it…….

     

    GG “So, here we are on the 50th anniversary of, the assassination of MLK, who was, gotten rid of by the American establishment. And, on this day, we have the British establishment peer Lord Sugar, saying that, the British establishment have to get rid of Jeremy Corbyn!”

     

    GG goes on…”Three times he said this today, three times! I’ve asked Lord Sugar onto this program in these studio’s tonight, to explain what he meant by, getting rid of Jeremy Corbyn. If he meant it in the same way as, the American white supremacist underclass got rid of MLK, then he has some explaining to do.”

     

    As far as I know, Lord Sugar has gone to ground.

     

    Thing is, Jeremy Corbyn has been sent, by someone, to bring nothing but, love, hope, freedom, and peace.

     

    Imho, Jeremy is the straw that will break the war mongering British establishments back, and they know it.

     

    If you can, try to get GG’s YouTube thingy.

  7. Best performances and shots to goals ratios are when Edouard and Paddy are on the pitch. It’s no rocket science. Wee Jamesy can play on the left too.

  10. Gary67

     

    Agree with your comments on Forrest (oh and I miss sled Armstrong from bench) – Lustig been much better last 2 games as well. – could play him instead of Boyata ??? In a back 3 :-))

     

    David17

     

    Why play Forrest on left instead of Sinclair ???

     

    Sinclair 15 goals and 6 assists this season, scores average every 195 mins, with a 63% hit rate on target ( and that’s him having a poor season)

     

    Forrest 9 goals and 6 assists , scores every 286 mins, hitting target at 55%, and being touted as our player of year ?????

     

    Not on those stats for me – he has had a decent season, no better than what we should expect

  11. Dallas Dallas where the heck is Dallas on

    Jimmynotpaul, I’m sorry to hear about you suffering an allergic reaction while you were on holiday. I hope you are feeling better.

     

     

    I went to the Pollok game against Beith yesterday . It ended 2 each.

     

     

    Pollok were never in danger when they were 2 nil up, missed a good chance then their right back walked after receiving a second yellow card for his own stupidity.

     

     

    Beith’s first goal was a cracking shot from outside the box then equalised when Pollok could not clear the ball after 3 attempts, Beith’s two goals came very late in the game . There was something like6 minutes additional time . I never tried to speak to Tony after the game as he would have been beelin after his team threw away two points.

    Would like to see McGregor playing a bit deeper, alongside (or just ahead of) Brown. Need to get the ball forward a bit quicker in transition.

     

    Need to get back to some kind of proper form. Could be a 2-0 or 3-0.
