thinking about blackman missing that chance that you know for a fact he would bury now is gutting. the three chances in the first five minutes as well - lasley, humphrey, sutton. some night though.

i've got the friends fare and ticket sorted, let's just hope we get the game played and deliver a nice xmas p45 for mcghee. add in the train from here to town and it'll be under 20 quid for the full trip and the game, cheaper than accies

our domestic season this year runs from the 14th of august to the 21st of may. 40 weeks. if you wanted the season to start on the first saturday in march this year we'd currently be discussing the implications of call offs on the final weekend's fixtures and speculating as to whether we'd be able to get the scottish cup final on or not this weekend (and that's assuming we'd played through the world cup).

do you not think the best thing to do considering we can lose games due to the weather between late november and late march is to have the maximum amount of dates available to get them played?

got to say it was the best team performance i've seen since the well mauled hibs in may 08

richard dawkins has come out in support of hugh dallas funny how the only people with a half decent perspective on this in the media - rod liddle, tom english and now dawkins - aren't scottish. obviously they don't have to live in fear of being hounded by the likes of kearney and having their windows tanned by sellick fans. it's quite funny how far this has spread. it would make for a belter of an episode of south park.

gannon later admitted that the letters were lying unopened in his desk. he was talking complete pish probably 50% inspired by the fact he's an attention seeking sociopath and 50% attempting to concoct an exit strategy out of fir park. he was a world class mope and would no doubt have been staging a joint dirty protest with neil lennon against the establishment right now if he was still up here rather than.... ... what's he up to again these days?

how many people get lifted going to matches at fir park compared to the mega bar? there'll be at least as many cops in glasgow city centre on a saturday night as there is at ibrox and parkhead and they'll be far busier.

they don't shut night clubs when it snows and they require a lot more policing than football matches.

dougie mcdonald goes down swinging

dallas and mcdonald will no doubt be delighted they don't have to deal with the scummiest fans in the world any more. the sfa better hammer lennon, reid and hooper for their various comments. celtic got the scalps they wanted but will probably be gutted mcdonald has gone as they can't play the victim card any more. it's pretty annoying that the mopes will feel this vindicates their intimidation tactics, i wonder who will be the next target for them?

there's about three inches of snow in motherwell.

so if we have a harsh winter there should be no fitba until march?

it's a total fucking joke. as other people have said the police aren't shutting asda or cinemas and the mega bar can still fill bams up with cheap booze and send them out into the freezing night at 3am but we can't get a game of fitba on. how the fuck can they stage nfl games in 3 feet of snow with 50,000 people there but 3 inches of snow gets this game canceled. as ever, polis GET FUCKED.

lech walsea must have had a word.

pearson has a decent cv for someone of his ability. scotland caps including the win over holland and in paris. he played and scored in the champions league. he has a scottish league and cup medal. he scored the winner in the play off final and he played in the epl. plus he married a miss scotland which not many people would have predicted when he broke into the well team. the same goes for mcculloch. a full set of scottish medals, english league cup and uefa cup runners up medals, scotland caps and a belter of a goal. plenty of champions league and epl experience. for two local boys with little actual talent they've done very well for themselves.

our opponents are owned by a rather dodgy character who is the head of a rather dodgy bank in lithuania.

we might well see a few of those players back at fir park a la craigan, phil, lasley and hammell. you can't really blame anyone for taking the money and having a go even if it didn't work out. stephen hughes was watching norwich play in the leckie the other week

will they even tell us where the refs came from and who they are? we better not get a fucking lithuanian.

looks like the refs will just have to go on strike again next week.

dutch and unbelievably estonian referees have kb'd the sfa now. the refs are growing stronger, celtic are looking stupider and the sfa are going to be forced to take action to sort this out

mcdonald was reprimanded by the referee's committee, any further punishment or him resigning would just signal to celtic and their fans that their current tactics are effective and that they can overturn sfa decisions and hound refs out.

it should be the sfl that get first dibs on the refs as this full situation has been caused by an spl club. it's not fair that spl games could go ahead while clubs that desperately need the money lower down get shafted.

aye but it's actually getting three refs (and 6 linesman) that will agree to go. all top refs seem to know each other through uefa and if i was a dutch ref i'd be wondering if strike breaking was going to harm my own or other duth referee's european and international prospects.
