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.

    ‘any one who believes sky or bbc about the so called nerve gas attack really is gulliable’

     

     

     

    ####

     

     

    I’m of the view that the Russians carried out the attack.

     

     

    They have the means, the motive and form for similar.

     

     

    Alternative explanations strain credulity.

    Another bizarre leap.

     

     

    Been fighting Tories and the Eton mentality long before the SNP discovered mileage in using code words like “Westminster” to describe Ra English.

     

     

    Notice you made no attempt to justify your bizrre logic in linking the Skripal incident to some imagined Lab-Tory Pact (not so much Project fear tactics as Project Straightjacket).

     

     

    As for Fife??? God only knows what you are linking there.

    Ernie.

     

    This is starting to be like a trial.

     

    It was early May in a place called Lost.

     

    The Forresty Commission either own the place or are heavily involved.

     

    The bird was not in the open.

     

    You are an intelligent individual, you will be aware early May in the Cairngorms will be breeding season time. The birds are more vocal then.

     

    Hail Hail

    Ernie

     

     

    I am amazed that anyone thinks that the Russians carried out this attack. Had they done so, the Skripals would be dead.

     

    Baw Jaws is lying for Eton.

    I’m genuinely interested. I’m not try to disprove your sighting. Sorry if it comes across like that.

     

     

    Goshawks (as you probably know) are generally very secretive, and therefore hard to see, except when they are doing their courtship displays, which would be well over by May, even in the Cairngorms.

    Ernie..,

     

    If that’s the case why has the UK govt not allowed due process to run its course, also can you provide any evidence of the “form” you refer to previous uncorroborated accusations.

     

    What we do know, is that the UK govt has taken the country to war on previously uncorroborated and outright false intelligence and here you are telling us to trust the UK intelligence, seriously?

     

    An intelligence agency that used the British civilian population to test chemical weapons, the U.K. Govt has killed more Brutish subjects with chemical weapons than any one else and your saying the Russians have form ffs

    SFTB.

     

    I don’t normally like to get involved in the politic debates, as it can be pointless and I don’t think many, if any change their views.

     

    Much to my wife’s annoyance, I spoil my vote and write none of the above.

     

    She thinks it’s a waste of my time, I think I’m exercising my right to indicate that no party is worthy of my vote.

     

    Labour should get my vote, but it’s support for the House Of Lords sickens me. They haven’t done themselves any favours, in my opinion, by going into coalition with the Tories in 3 Scottish councils either. So for now, it’s none of the above for me.

     

    Hail Hail

    the link is hardly a jump…..the westminster elite have been found lying about the incident …Governments around the world reacted including Holyrood…

     

     

    .more shall come out as because of their ineptness to cover up …why do you believe there story….?

     

     

    as for Fife …did you not relocate there with your good lady ? must be a few years ago now but I recall a few posts saying you were off to the Kingdom…

     

    anyways wherever you are I wish you well in all thing Celtic …

    Party line?

     

    What party do you think Ernie represents?

     

    Tory, Ukip maybe?

  13. Jimmynotpaul on

    Ernie 6.46.

     

    Genuine apologies Ernie, no excuse, although I’m offering it as one, but my health is still not great, so I’ve obviously read you wrong.

     

    Now that I know you are genuinely interested, as I say a place called Lost, you had to drive right into a Forrest, signs on trees telling you to go left or right and,actually saying you are not Lost!!!

     

    It was 2011. The bird was flying above in between two rows of trees. Red,squirrels, seriously everywhere. I know the mating season is normally over then but it was 2010/11 winter. Seriously in early May, it was still like March. Obviously it was a lucky day for me but not that lucky as later on I couldn’t see The Capercaillie.

     

    Hail Hail

    Apologies, but was Jeremy Corbyn not the only political leader to advocating waiting for proof ?

     

     

    Assuming Ernie is a Labour individual, then how is he toeing the party line ?

    I think us Humans are in no position to point the fingers at any birds.

     

    We win the Gold awards for the amount of birds we kill.

     

    35 million pheasants a year released into a non native countryside so that they can be shot for fun and then ditched in bins.
