Not worth the risk mate wae the honest mistakes. what if we get a man sent off early, fu@k that could easily happen wae that chugger fae last week involved.

I don't think hell be an issue. His public exposure about his terrible call last week will have him in the lime light. The ref on the other hand.

i never do a bet if the reward is less than the stake, 100quid is a good bit of money to have and 40quid return just not worth risking 100, just like stevebhoy said with the honest mistakes, armstrong to score and celtic to win in 90mins at 5/ 2 could be a good bet.

Hi ed hope you are well, I not one for conspiracies regarding refs but was having a debate with friends about conclusive proof regarding refs SFA etc.
We all know about the Cadete incident we also know about Dougie McDonald conspired with officials etc, and we also know a ref (cant remember his name) asked to officiate a Rangers game for his last game and lo and behold as the game was drawing there was something like 6-7 mins of added time before the days of added time.
These are cases where there is conclusive proof of an agenda.
And that's the ones I only know about there may be others.
But my question is there any out there where there is an agenda to help Celtic?
To my knowledge there isn't but I willing to be corrected.

{Ed007's Note - Having refs in Celtic's pocket? That's small fry for us, Raymundo. Haven't you heard of State Aid, the Unseen Fenian Hand or the gold, oil and diamond seams under all the land we've ever bought on the cheap from our old friends in Glasgow City Council - which has been infiltrated by Opus Dei after orders from the Vaitican to aid Celtic any way they can.




Oh and then there's that wee nasty anti-Royalist Republican Nicola Sturgeon and her Irish Republican sympathising party who are planning to expand the Glasgow Subway which will likely include a new station in Parkhead.

As wee Fergus said back in '94,

"As Celtic fans we can be proud of ourselves and what we have achieved in our lives because what we have achieved has been achieved on our own merits. We haven’t had to join any secret organisation to get to where we are today and that’s important to you."

Your theory is of gold n diamonds? Is it truly believable?
Not as far fetch as the news reported on sly who just said we gave away a dubious penalty against last week! Gave away? Eh excuse me but the player dived! There was no challenge and the ref and linesman seen something that never happened! Sorry for the rant guys.

{Ed007's Note - Dodgy referees come and go but remember that diamonds are forever.}

Bent refs! I remember a top official brought his own towel to paradise because he didn't like the green one supplied. Hey there is money saver for newco officials to bring their own towels, soap, hair gel £5.00 saved on laundry bills.

I will not be posting tomorrow as Mrs T and I are off to Ayr for the Scottish National as guests of "The Suit" (apparently he knew which hands to shake, and HOW!, to get tickets lol) so I am posting 2 tips I got for the horses as well as my football tips.
In the Scottish National I got a tip for MISSED APPROACH 16/ 1 (already on)
ED023 is on SOUTHFIELD ROYALE 9/ 1
At Newbury in the Sprint Cup got an outsider caled MASTER CARPENTER 20/ 1
Go with boookies paying 5 or 6 places each way
In the 2 cup semis tomorrow Saturday I am going for extra time in both the Hibs/ Aberdeen and the Spurs/ Chelsea game I have done singles and a double, you should get decent odds for this also.
PS any one at Ayr spotting me talking to my self, do not worry as I will just be talking to my "imaginary" friend in the suit, eh UJ lol.

@timalloy - you say Mrs T, what you actually mean is Carer!

22 Apr 2017 08:07:28
No offence UnionJack but that was utterly rubbish. I suppose you lot have been hiding under a rock for a few years and have missed the evoloution of scottish patter. I give you a 5/ 10 for effort though.

22 Apr 2017 12:27:30
@robdoc21 - no offence but you've not come back with an original retort yourself after having 5 years to think about it! I'll give you 1 out of 10 😉.

As always, I'm a bit apprehensive about Sunday's game . However if as many have said before if we turn up and play the zombies shouldn't be able to live with us . I'm just hoping we haven't mentally switched off since we won the league, as I'm sure like the last game against them, they will start fast. In a weird way, because we appealed browns red last week we have kept our heads down in the press this week and haven't given them any motivation with snippets from players about how we are going to beat them.
Hopefully heads down, and hump them and let Pedro and his cronies that there is a massive gap and they haven't got the best squad in Scotland 😂.

I am only worried about our team underachieving.

Referees have cost us, but to tell the truth we haven't seen Celtic perform to the standards set before Christmas other than a handful of times.

It's in Hoops' hands, they NEED to be up for it and get right intae them!

I hope Rangers come out and have a go - if they do and Brendan makes sure the lads are up for it - we'll be celebrating a 3/ 4-0 victory on Sunday afternoon. If Pedro tries to box in and frustrate, we'll control the game like October and break them down eventually.

Agree honest, my biggest fear is us having an off day. Last time out when they gloriously defeated us for a draw, we didn't play at all that day and still should have horsed them. If we play to our strength we should not have any problem beating them. They are a very mediocre team who shouldn't be anywhere near us on the park. We need to kill them off early and try to make the closing stages of the game much more comfortable for us than it has been lately.
Yet again, my club is showing discipline and dignity while the Sevconians and their super manager (the 5th best in Quatar, by the way) are trotting out Jabba PR guff to try mind games. It's time to do our talking on the pitch and hump them to continue for the treble then hump them next week to keep up our UNBEATEN run.
MON THE HOOPS!

We have to be well-up for this and get out of 'title dawdle' mode that has seen us unusually drop points and lose goals to average opponents.
Even allowing for 'honest mistakes' and two-card-tricks, we definitely have the better players and match winners - as long as they play to their potential.

22 Apr 2017 10:06:25
I am the biggest optimist! But there is always something about hampden that frightens me when it comes to the bhoys. We need to start well and finish the game before HT. . Then I will be at ease lol. Paddy Roberts needs to start HH.
