Soft, but you would have been screaming for it if it was at the other end.


Stokes should have walked for the assault on Papac in the first minute. Samaras cheeky wee knee in the back of McGregors head, Ki's assault on Naismith all missed by the ref... from our point of view, maybe McCulloch was lucky to stay on.

Thought the referee was very inconsistent, but at the end of the day Rangers were the better team.


Not surprising to see TLB already moaning about the ref. Celtic FC never defeated always cheated.

I said above the referee was good and was fair but the penalty decision was poor and everyone on Sky said the same, former Rangers players included.


Best team won. But the referee made an honest mistake at a key time on the penalty.


Can't say fairer than that and I won't get involved with you in tit for tat.


Can you let us all know what TLB means?

Thats terrible. No matter what your sporting affiliation may be, you can't condone such mindless behaviour. As Chris Kamara would say, Unbelievable!!!!! Celtic should at least issue a statement condemning such behaviour.

It happens on both sides. Both Celtic and Rangers have bigoted elements to their support. I don't think that is any secret.


Obviously the police will track these people down and convict them, if at all possible.


Hugh Dallas once had his windows broken after refereeing an Old Firm game and he said he knew who had done it. It was his neighbour who was a Celtic fan and he was round the next day to fix his windows and apologise. No charges were pressed. Its depressing that these things happen but thats how heated things can become on Old Firm days in a city split by religion.

I know Rangers fans aren't angels... but all this threatening refs does seem to come down a one-way street...


As you quite rightly mention MM - Hugh Dallas was a victim.

There has also been George McBride, Jim McCluskey and the Private Detective, Dougie McDonald and now these two most recent cases.

The SFA have to act... Lennon, in a position of responsibility, should not be making public remarks about referees in the lead up to the game.

He's also just written to the SFA to complain about Sunday. Who the hell does he think he is????

With spurs defensive problems it's hard to see how they can keep a clean sheet. Spurs must be praying that Bale doesn't get injured, without him they may get another tonking.

      Councillor McAsh defects to the Greens

      By Blah Blah · Posted

      Morally they should, but we don't actually vote for parties in our electoral system. We vote for a parliamentary (or council) representative. That candidates group together under party unbrellas is irrelevant. We have a 'representative' democracy, not a party political one (if that makes sense). That's where I am on things at the moment. Reform are knocking on the door of the BNP, and using wedge issues to bait emotional rage. The Greens are knocking on the door of the hard left, sweeping up the Corbynista idealists. But it's worth saying that both are only ascending because of the failures of the two main parties and the successive governments they have led. Large parts of the country have been left in economic decline for decades, while city fat cats became uber wealthy. Young people have been screwed over by student loans. Housing is 40 years of commoditisation, removing affordabilty beyond the reach of too many. Decently paid, secure jobs, seem to be a thing of the past. Which of the main parties can people turn to, to fix any of these things, when the main parties are the reason for the mess that has been allowed to evolve? Reform certainly aren't the answer to those things. The Greens may aspire to do something meaningful about some of them, but where will they find the money to pay for it? None of it's easy.

      Yes, but the context is important and the reason.

      That messes up Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland - democracy being based on citizenship not literacy. There's intentionally no one language that campaign materials have to be in.

      TBH if people don't see what is sectarian in the materials linked to above when they read about them, then I don't think me going on about it will help. They speak for themselves.  I don't know how the Greens can justify promising to be a strong voice for one particular religion. Will that pledge hold when it comes to campaigning in East Dulwich (which is majority atheist)? https://censusdata.uk/e02000836-east-dulwich/ts030-religion
