blonde poker forum

Some prices up from paddy power this weekend for the Chelsea game, featuring Bridge and Terry obviously...

Terry & Bridge to shake hands after the final whistle *  9/4
 Terry & Bridge to swap shirts at the end of the game *  20/1
 Any Chelsea player to score & reveal a 'Team Terry' shirt  25/1
 
Any City player to score & reveal a 'Team Bridge' shirt  4/1
 Vanessa Perroncel to be spotted in the crowd  20/1
 Bridge to be booked for a foul on Terry  28/1
 


Pretty sure there is no value there, only one I would be tempted with is the Citeh player to reveal team bridge shirt, but obv depends if City score... I won't be getting on any though, feel the first price is ridic short and would be willing to lay 3/1 if anyone wants a punt on that.



Anyway, this weekend the only bet I have currently is one hundred diver's on Burnley to beat Pompey @ 2.2

Also considering laying Arsenal at a pretty short price away from home at Stoke.

Villa are a good bet at 7/2 imo,if man u play a weakened side which i believe Ferguson said he was that is.Apart from that I'll prob have a donkish 4fold tmoro and get 3 of them wrong glglgl all.

Out of them I'd prob bet team terry shirt.

ive had one bet so far. Burnely too fo me.

6/5 is ridic with their home record playing team bottom of the league. Must shorten, surely.

7/4 hudds to beat Leeds.

Oh tht reminds me i got a trixie on too, Hudds 7/4, Watford 7/2, and one other that I can't remember now.

Leics?

Yeah. Thats right, cant remember their price.

Trixie on:

Huddersfield to beat Leeds @ 7/4 (i hope it loses tho obv, im not Chompy, i will be listening to it and screaming for my club)
Watford to beat Newcastle @ 7/2
Leicester to beat Forest @ 9/5

I think these prices are really good?

i've lumped on portadown tonight. hopefully won't be a repeat of xerezgate.

hudds and villa. gogogogogo

Xerezgate?

got a decent single on leicester @ 9/5  then got that with watford (7/2) + hudds (7/4) in a trixie.

be made to paiiiiiiii skybet.

Is this strong Ace?

Surely the 28/1 on the booking is good?

I believe Xerez beat Mallorca a few weeks ago, when it seemed half of blonde was on Mallorca, there was a big tip up

Ah yeah I saw that. Didnt realise it was Ace2m's original bet. I just saw Dave's seal in red and immediately avoided.

Gonna get on Portadown just incase it is another Blonde bankruptcy job

How are Portadown getting on?

0-0 54 gone... LAST 30 GOALL FRENZY PORTA!!!

7/2 on watford at home is huge, going to have a little touch on this me thinks.

GOOAALLL! Hold Porta!

Its 4/6 with Hills that they shake hands at any point tomorrow, surely thats a decent bet as they will have to shake hands in the line up before the game??

They don't have too, but I expect they will yes Dan

i hope Bridge holds out his hand and then takes it away'Soccer AM' style if Terry goes to shake it and shouts ' Fuck off' right in his face.

phew

would anyone say 5/8 is a good price for a team that should win??

6/5 at skybet that they shake before the game looks better doesn't it as that's surely the only time they'll do it?

Is there odds anywhere to bet against it? The fact that he's pulling out of the world cup squad is enough to me that he doesnt want to be anywhere near him never mind shake his hand..........so wish Bridge was a striker for tomorrows game!!!

Who's your tip Rhodes?could be argued 1/100 is a good price for a team that 'should win'

Might have my net worth on a Brighton/Norwich double tomorrow @ 5/2.

Turnstill esq big bet spin up.

lol, you crack me up Rhodesy...

Bradford should beat darlo 2moro!

Leicester v Forest

Under 2.5 goals @ 3/5
Draw @ 2/1
0 - 0 @ 7/1

Take your pick....this is gonna be a real scrap and if there is 3 or more goals in the game I will be very very shocked.....Draw IMO.  Having a small lump on the draw and under 2.5 goals.
Am as certain as I can be with this one!

One time.....

Where is this on bf ??

Done the andy gray offer for 50 quid with the following:

Chelsea,
Brum,
Barca,
Liverpool.

Punted correct scores on chelsea game for interest, 2-0, 3-1. Also done terry@26s to score first and bridge anytime@25s, just for a laugh those two tbh,

Can't say i massively fancy much today, thinking about getting on brum at just over evens, saw wigan play spurs last week and they were terrible, shame birmingham are not exactly in the form they were in a few weeks back, still they could be a touch of value.

Had a pony on stoke dnb @3s at home v arsenal, if stoke hadn't had a midweek game i'd have gone in for more and prob just on the match prices at 9-2.

Draw is an absolute NAP tbh, then i lose money and happiness.

I like Motherwell today, gogogogo

1 more hudds. come on.

yawn.

sit back, deeper, deeper, deeper, sit back.

We bring it on ourselves.

Penalty at chelski, please let Bridge take it

awwwww they decided to go the traditional route and let a regular penalty taker, rather than a left back with a grudge, take it.

Wtf are Chelski doing, this is a poor result all round for me, Hilario is a clown

[  ] Glad I deceided to go against every rule and  bet heavily on my own team on the day they get beaten destroyed by a team who haven't beaten us at the Bridge in 17 years!

Horneris special to give me something out of this shit weekend!

Wowza got a bunch of trebles/doubles/accum that all involved chelski losing. Can't remember who else I backed without looking as I'm not into footy and my picks were a bit random, but I could scoop big if the others go my way............

Managed to do my absoloots on that game, did an asian hcp bet on chelski just b4 ko as i just cld just not see them failing to win. Main annoyance is tevez not getting booked as i'd gone in large on that late on too.

Bit of a tilty treble on now to get out of it on brum, burnley and united tmrw.

Some unlikely results here but meh Chelski came in, just looking for a big sccop tbh...........

Hey Brighton, Fancy holding?

Thought my bet was gubbed with Burnley getting beat but they're back on track:

Put on a dave special multai Acca:

Hearts to beat Aberdeen @11/5 (won)
Burnley to beat pompey @ 6/5 (drawing)
Swansea to beat Peterborough @4/9 (winning)
Southampton to beat walsall @ 8/13 (winning)
Kilmarnock to beat motherwell @ 14/5 (drawing) x £5 = £312

Then added in Wigan @ 16/5 (losing) x £5.10 = £1337

Pompey all over Burnley so doesnt look likely- didnt expect this at all- thought with a few players getting punted they would be a bit weary of over exerting themselves...then again Burnley are hopeless

Oh i will

Me and the missus are off to the SECC to see '30 Seconds to Mars' tonight!

Looking good rhodes

I feel sick....all was so good until the last 15 mins..........

thanks mate


please hoooolllllllllllllllld

good work winners, back to the drawing board for me.

Not a good day for me, several losses.  Took Arsenal at 3.5 when they were 1-0 down, hopefully we'll turn it around.

Fabregas is having an absolute mare, not his sort of game, looks scared about challenges coming in everytime he gets the ball.

He could turn the game with a flash of brilliance as we all know, but im very unimpressed by him so far.

Sol Campbell in contrast is having a great game. Always likely to be his sort of game, up against big powerful strikers who are good in the air but not particularily fast.

Oh dear your life is shite now mate, I remember the Days you would be out at the Pub all night and then up first thing for a Cargo and the Bus to Shit box for the Derby.Nice win tho.

Fabregas made a sick cross for Arsenal goal tbf. Campbell seems really up for it, pleased for him tbh. Rory Delap is worst footballer I've ever seen.

But he has a sweet throw on him.

Thats horrific

didnt really see it, but Sol was going so crazy. Don't think it was intentional, cue Wenger going crazy post match. Shows the Arsenal team spirit, shame too because he is really promising.

Yep they wont show it again, thats prob a good thing. Lets hope he recovers

gg ramsey. redic sick.

Watched it back on Sky+, it wasn't malicious just 2 players totally committed.

Horrrific looking injury similar to Henrik Larssons when his leg was snapped, such a shame for Ramsey he's a terrific player hope a he makes a full and speedy recovery.

Be interesting to see how it did happen.  I rewinded it on Sky and couldn't really tell, although you could see wasn't good for Ramsay.  The Stoke player looked devistated, certainly didn't seem intentional.

Yeh i rewound and it looked fine.

Always hate to see these type of injuries, hope the lad makes a swift and full recovery and fulfills the promise he has shown so far in his career.

Shawcross was high with the tackle, just seeing ramseys leg snapped off was ugly.

Agree noway did it look dirty just Shawcross going fully committed for the ball he was devastated tbf.

Btw i done the betfair promo but still havet been squared half my stake yet when do they settle?

last couple of times I've done the BF promo, it's taken a bit of time to sort out, usually the next day.

Cheers.

bookies must have taken a bashing today!  only team i backed today that lost was watford, i think this thread is bad luck.  going to stick with the aftertiming going forward.  its what i'm best at anyway!

The Ramsey tackle for those that haven't seen it.

http://10shirt.worldsoccerreader.com/2010/02/video-aaron-ramsey-injury/

no intent what so ever imo

no, looks fine from that. just very unfortunate

don't know why he didnt just run it off?

Happened too fast to see to be honest.  I was out of the room when it happened and by the way everyone was banging on about it I had this vision of a 5 yard lunge to the knee or something like that.

I've seen worse tackles of a similar nature, with less damage done so must have caught him a right proper un, so it must have been the speed at which they collided which is the main factor in this awful incident.

Hope he makes it back, we haven't seen the best of him really have we?

No one likes to see someone hurt like that ... even a Spurs fan... gutted for the kid.

Sol Campbell on the other hand can fuck right off, wtf is he doing jumping around and giving shawcross grief for, he was in tears and obv distressed, yet that prick carries on mouthing obscenities at him all the time.

Nice timing for Shawcross to get a England call-up.

Sol Campbell is a total twat!!

200/1 4 fold for tomorrow

celtic, fulham, everton and villa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If it does not come in then I'm wrong about meatball.

I'm on Messi to score 2 or more. Hope it goes better than Horneris first goal scorer bet.

Campbell's well out of order there. To me, that's just badly timed. No malice whatsoever. The Mascherano one a few weeks ago he got the 4 match ban for was worse. If Shawcross arrives a quarter of a second earlier or later then Ramsey gets back up.

It's over the ball and studs-up, how can you even begin to defend it ?

Quite easily. I've seen worse tackles with less injuries that haven't even got a red card.

Bad tackle? Yes.
Sending off? Yes.
Deliberate? No.
Badly timed? Yes.

Everybody (not singling you out particularly here Karabiner) goes on and on and on about "studs up" challenges. If you're stretching for the ball at full speed then the natural position of our feet is "studs up". Why not just ban full length challenges?

All I've seen is 2 viewings of that video that was posted up earlier at full speed btw. I haven't seen any slow-mo replays or close-ups and so I don't know if it was over the ball cos it happened really fast. I went back to look but the vid has been removed.

I don't even think that's a red. Just Shawcross is solid.

I agree. The reaction of the Arsenal players to the injury got him the red. Fair play to MOTD for showing it.

Ramsey ruled out of Wales clash

That is the headline on bbc sports !! I think it could be a contender for "statement of the obvious" of the year. 

Terrible injury and awful luck.

It wasn't studs up, and there was no malice. Really it wasn't any worse than Terry's tackle that got a booking in the earlier game.

To be fair though I don't think the Arsenal players influenced the ref, I think he'd made his mind up immediately. It looked like they all heard the bone going, and I think that's more than enough to make him reach for the red.

I remember seeing the newspaper pics the day after Larsson got injured, and thinking that was the end of his career, but he managed more success at Celtic, the Champions League with Barcelona, and even a cameo at Man Utd, so let's hope Ramsey makes an equally full recovery.

meh, he's just seen his teammate's leg snap and he freaked out a bit. harsh to judge him on that imo

I don't think he his a twat because of his reaction, i was just meaning in general.

(http://img.skysports.com/10/02/800x600/aa1_2425198.jpg)

lol comedy

ouch

that's fair enough then. I now only object to sharples' post

Did the tackle even break his leg? the still they showed on MOTD seemed to show his leg bent before the tackle, might have been a bad angle but even at full speed it was a badly timed tackle but didnt look malicious to me.

yeah, word's going around the messageboards that it looks like he broke it when he put his foot down

i was more pissed off by him running over, getting held back and trying to steam forward as if to knock the guy out. looked like the kind of thing you see on a saturday night in luton town centre. everybody else is trying to help ramsey, the ref's going for shawcross and campbell's steaming in. no need for it.

No way it was deliberate so can't have a go at shawcross at all he looked devastated when he wen't off the pitch,Ramsey won't fully recover from this just like 90% of footballers who get sucha  horrific injury never do

I never recovered from mine!

sigh, that's set up for the greatest joke ever but everyone's so touchy at the moment I daren't type it

Shawcross starts going for the ball but if you notice he bumps into an Arsenal player on the way meaning that Shawcross loses a bit of steam, because of this he was slightly late on the ball. I don't think that the tackle deserves a red.

From the angles i have seen of this , i dont think it was a red, i think the ref felt obliged to send him off once he seen the leg was broke, to me Shawcross seems like a decent kid and genuinely looked disturbed at what happened, its just unfortunate thats all, i have definitely seen far worse this season, for instance pienaar i think it was put a horror tackle in on Mascherano a couple of weeks ago(Masch is no angel i know), took the shinpad clean off him. As for Sol Campbell i deffo wouldnt blame him for his reaction either, totally understandable imo he just got carried away in the heat of the moment, Heres hoping Ramsey makes a full and speedy recovery

I dont like Shawcross, hes a chav thug (see his wikipedia photo for proof).

After a decent day yesterday i'm just going to have Villa to win on penalties.
Might get on Everton depending on the Spurs team. I heard they've all got a virus.

I dont think the tackle was malicious. I dont think Sawcross meant to do it and I think that Ridgewell tackle in the Blues games yesterday in the corner was probably worse. I cant beleive that people are saying that Arsenal's players reactions got him sent off. They have obviously never played in a game when someone has been seriously injured.
Ramsey is just a kid,19 FFS.

Hopefully Aaron will recover from this as this season he was starting to look like a real class act, possibly a replacement for Cesc at some point.

Yeh i don't think it was the players i think the ref saw his leg snapped and thought it must have been a bad tackle.

What's everyone on today, off to aunty corals to pick up some winnings so will prob have another little touch have any of the big hitters such as scottish dave got some inside info that I can use to select 3 odds on faves?

Type it please

7/2 Villa in most places will do me. Although you can't eat value, that's good value I think

Any of the Scottish lads got opinions on the Old Firm game?

 ;popcorn;

Celtic have 5 players making their OF debut including 3 of the back 4 which is not good. Our CHs are 18 and19!!! Rangers at full strength but don't need to win. Celtic have a very attack minded line up and I think over 2.5 goals at anything over evens is the bet if you have to have one. I have had a small bet on Fortune for 1st goal as 8/1 is too big. 

im on villa bandwagon also. Boughera is going to get sent off too, but havnt got a bet on that yet.

in regards to Shawcross, unintentional but still definitely a red card.

Villa, lay Spurs.

Pav is on fire ... C.O.Y.S !!!

Andria BAT v Verona - £54k matched on BF, £52k of that is on the draw

Hate that Liverpool price vs anyone,but glgl

I know it's not a huge jump but lpool just went from 1.34 to 1.38 in one minute, that's not usual is it?

One of the more seasoned bf pro's will have to answer that one :)

I see Blatch is looking

I have cash burning a hole in my account , i need to offload so im goin for a speculative accum.

Sevilla
Racing Santander
Sprting Gijon
Aston villa

£20 on Returns  £0  £684

Can happen, especially as Liverpool have been trading at 1.37 -1.38 for the last 48 hours.

Also a few rumours that Torres may not start.

Rooney on the bench !!

this Old Firm game is superb, if only the Prem could still have matches like this, tho it would be 8 against 9 by now due to the over acting and guessing refs that are around in the Prem these days.

Tho quite how Bougerra hasnt been sent off is a mystery, apart from that ref been v good and the players seem to be loving it too.

I haven't put much thought into the construction but it goes something like 'he said footballers, not fat ballas'

Good good, makes me feel a bit better about being on Villa.


Come on the VILLLAINS

Pretty good, thanks for posting. Hope girgy gets offended and it takes over the thread!

Sigh ... here we go, Spurs doing what they do best ... totally dominate a game and then let their oppos back in it ... FFS !

Rafael is going to get owned off Villa wingers, they too good/fast for the naive Brazilian. Berba could be a matchwinner, anyway I just put more on Villa. lets gogogogogogog.

Graham Fenton was my assitant manager at Blyth Spartans, such a good lad. Hated by the whole of Newcastle after scoring 2 against us in our famous blow up season. So many good stories from Villa/Blackburn.

Yeh i'm tempted with the 14/1 first card

A brilliant OLd Firm game settled by a last kick of the game wiinner, the only shame is it was set up by Bougherra who should have been sent off for any amount of fouls after being booked early in the game. The problem now is most of the after match analysis will focus on that and will detract from what was a great game to watch.

Yeh Old Firm was good to watch. Celtic fans will have the red card and Magic's non red to complain about.

Man Of The Match betting could be value in the Carling Cup. It's dominated by Rooney who isn't even starting.

Old Firm good to watch? Maybe because of the occasion, but the players are terrible imo.

Like half the Premier league you mean?


Difference is the Old Firm game was exciting, hard fought and great to watch

unlike half of the Premier league.

over 11 corners for me, Villa got loads of pace down the lines so shoulkd be good for a few there. The MOM beting list was interesting but I dint have time to look properly, good spot that Jose,did you bet anyone?

Took Berbatov and Gabby at 12's and Collins at 50's. Also didn't have much time to decide but thought it must have been value if Rooney was a short favourite in it.

phewwwwwwwwwwwww ... well held Spurs !


Now to settle down and hopefully enjoy a good open game in the cup final ... plenty of goals and blood and guts football please.

I think Celtic/Rangers would both finish rock bottom of premiership. Pompy would cruise Scottish division. I think I heard on commentry that one of Rangers players cam from Stockport, rest like Lafferty etc all awful. Mcgeady/Keane only two players who are premiership class imo.

penalty to villa. gogogog

ship

yes, deffo makes sense, I thought about berba and Owen.

Dreadfuk start for my corners bet, needed Villa attacking, 1-0 up now so more likely to sit back.

I think they would be a little higher but that doesnt make them rank in comparison does it?

It means they are the same standard as half the Prem, only diff is their games are full of passion, full blooded and intersting, how many say, Bolton v Wolves games  are like that?

I know this is a kind of after timer but only half the bet is after timing:


1 James Milner to score first and Man Utd 2-1    @ 125/1
Stake:  1.00 Single
Potential Winnings:  125.00
 
 
2 Man Utd 2-1    @ 15/2

3 Michael Owen to score first and Man Utd 3-0    @ 70/1
Stake:  1.00 Single
Potential Winnings:  70.00

Mon man u 2-1!!!

sighhhh.

any got a decent link to the Liverpool game?

FFs at 1-0 I just got £30 on man u to win and then was trying to get £10 on owen to score next when he did does anyone know what price he was
p

WTF Villa, such a cheap goal to give away, they are looking v dodgy at the back

this ref looks like the second coming of Graham Poll, he seems to think the crowd have come to see him the way he keeps overacting his decisions

Just finished 0-0.....

Shock horror

Coming to that time of the year where its worth watching every game in the Italian, Slovakian and Cypriat Leagues

In fact im gonna start a thread between now and end of season highlighting them all.

i think you over estimate the 'premiership class' outside the big clubs. but whatever.

I'd certainly like to have Dave's bet at the moment.

Yes, come on Dves bet, mine is dead and buried so its good to have summat to cheer on.

I laid so it's ok.

You still play? how old are you? where do you live now?

I was in same Southampton team as Bale, Walcott etc. Captain of my county team. Had trials at Newc/Hartlepool etc then just ended up in Amateur football whilst I was at college then had a trial for Blyth and impressed spent most of the season on the bench, hardly getting a game as I was only 17. Came to uni and just play for the uni team now. Finish uni this year so hopefully will get back to semi serious when I graduate.

Cool, was wanting to see how far you lived from leeds to draft you into my 5 a side team! I used to play in the north east at the amateur level for a few years and i know blyth play at quiet a good level. Position do you play?

Standard.

In the 3 games v Rangers this season we've had the ref in the 1st game admit he failed to award  a stonewall pen to us ( Maloney got booked for diving ffs), in the 2nd the ref admits he chopped off a perfectly good goal for f*ck all and I have no doubt McDonald will now admit to yet another honest mistake with the red card for Scott Brown and how Bougherra stays on is just ridic! I hate complaining about referees but this season its  beyond a joke, anytime you complain about it you're paranoid!!

Having said that that we probably didn't deserve to win today but we're up against it every time against these *****. 

As a complete neutral I understood the Brown red card from the referee's viewpoint, doubt it would be reversed

How on earth Bougherra made it through 90 minutes I do not know. Reckon there were four clear yellow card offences, and he knew it from his winks to his teammates


Thought Edu was the best player on the pitch, and both keepers played well too.

haha.. Yeah they are in the conference north. I'm a centre mid by trade, but get put  rb/rw because I'm not the Patrick Veira type.

nice one Dave, great stuff mate.

He didn't have the best view and should have consulted with the assisitant ref who's looking right at it. Its the very least he can do considering Laughertys previous. He was far to eager to brandish the red card. Weir also has a kick at Fortune in the aftermath although I can understand why that was missed.

This.

Oh and well done Dave, nice touch, always very satisfying to land one at big odds.

The worst refereeing decisions I saw today were at Wembley but having resisted commenting on the Celtic refereeing thing all week I can resist no longer. There is no conspiracy...FACT!! Refereeing decisions are like bad beats with Celtic, they only remember the ones that go against then, forgetting all about the many times they have benefited. They have been on the wrong end of a couple in the OF games this season. no doubt about it, but in recent times they have benefited from a few too, however we never hear too much about those ones.

As for todays game yes Brown's red card was harsh but he was one of two Celtic players very lucky not to have been booked at that stage, both he and N'Guemo (who did pick up a yellow late in the game) were racking up a similar number of unpunished fouls to Bougherra, who as pointed out was very lucky not to be red carded after picking up a yellow for his first tackle of the match. This referee who has allegedly robbed Celtic today was honest enough to quickly (& correctly) rule out the first goal Edu scored when he came on, not really something I'd expect of someone out to conspire against Celtic. He then denied Rangers what ex-Celtic winger Davie Provan described as a stone wall penalty, again not really the actions of an anti Celtic conspirator. With the Brown incident it is likely to have looked like a head but to the chest from the refs viewpoint but yellow card each would have been the correct call IMO.

Who really cost Celtic the game today? Dougie McDonald? I don't think so, I think the following are far more culpable, McGeady, Keane, Kamara, Fortune, Brown, Braafheid, and Mowbray!!

sometimes when i have a gut feeling i with a had bigger balls and put more money on things, Well any + is a bonus i guess

I'll take two of what your on.Bougherra could have shat on your Freemason friends face and got away with it.
The Scottish League is the most corrupt in Western Europe.

The referees can only give what they see. Therefore I look forward to hearing an explanation of what he did see at the Brown/Lafferty altercation.

Bougherra stayed on because he plays for Rangers. I thought you'd have figured that out by now Richard.

Edu played well when he came on. We actually had a discussion in the pub when 'Elbows' McCullogh got injured and I was worried as Edu was the likely replacement and I reckon he is a better player.

I haven't seen much mention of the tackle by Papac on Kamara in the first half that led to Keane's free kick, but escaped even a yellow card. To me it looked absolutely brutal, but unlike Rangers penalty claim we weren't treated to 17 different replays.  ::)

All in all, another bad day at the office for us. We are improving in some areas, and Rogne looks a real find at centre-half if he can stay fit, but there's a long way to go.

I think I'm too close to things, and a bit too tipsy at the moment, to give a coherent summation of the state of Scottish refereeing. So, I'll leave it to Scotland manager Craig Levein to speak on my behalf...

YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rlFpHriMd8A

Good post Div, to the neutrals reading this, that Video from Levein is almost a weekly event in Scottish Footabll when it comes to Rangers FC.
From a betting perspective they are good to have onside.

If we are posting historic you tube footage to try to prove the bias towards Rangers then consider this one? Will this help prove how referees have been biased towards Rangers for decades in Scotland? After all this Rangers bias has been going on for decades, right?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rhXkgpCzM1o

There is no conspiracy, there is no bias towards any club, officials make mistakes or don't always see what they think they have, they don't have slow motion replays from 10 different angles when they make their decisions. Any Scottish football fan outside the OF will tell you that both  the OF get every big decision just as many in England will say the same about Man Utd and the other big clubs there. Refs make mistakes but talk of bias towards any one club is utter nonsense.

do you have anything in the last 15 years ?

Here's a sample of this season's 'honest mistakes' courtesy of someone with a lot more time on their hands than me, who listens to Real Radio.

http://www.realradio-scotland.co.uk/presenters-shows/shows-xcyr/real-football-phonein-qlug/football-phonein-listener-keiths-email/he7pjagk/

Note the various direct quotes from opposition managers admitting they got favourable decisions against Celtic.

Contrast with Craig Levein. 'It's all about Rangers'

Oh sorry, I thought the old examples would be good because I was under the impression this bias against Celtic by referees is a long standing thing.

To be honest if I was sad enough I could get plenty examples from the last couple of seasons where refereeing mistakes have favoured Celtic or gone against Rangers and vice versa. The thing is I'm not tragic enough to spend the time putting it altogether to prove what I already know, referees make mistakes, all teams benefit from time to time, all teams suffer them from time to time.

I do not expect a section of the Celtic support to ever be convinced of this so let's just accept that all referees in Scotland are consistently biased against Celtic and that they give Rangers everything. Let's also accept that the SFA will do all they can to help Rangers while consistently picking on Celtic (they sure did that before the UEFA Cup final & with the re-arranged OF game at Parkhead that season). No doubt Mason McDonald will get a roasting at his next lodge meeting for making it too much of a sweat yesterday. At least I can look forward to Rangers continuing to bring in the trophies no matter how dire the finances because the referees will help us all the way. I must go for now, need to try to get a picture of that flying pig that's just gone past the building.

a simple no would have sufficed.

There are examples of bad decisions in every game, real radio listener Keith is looking only for ones that prove what he is trying to prove, therefore that is all he finds. Simples.

Mini cash £113.50 small profit after Chelsea f**k it up.........

Max you don't even make a decent arguement here. By your logic because the ref correctly ruled a goal out then we should be grateful. wtf!!!
You admit Brown shouldn't have been sent off and that Bougherra should. Fortune is booked for deliberate handball yet Miller does the same, goes down looking for a penalty and isn't booked. Papac nearly halves Kamara in 2 and isn't booked. The only penalty claim I can remember is when O'Dea clearly takes the ball.

I don't expect you to agree but at least put forward a decent case.

Not mention when Kamara gotbrought down in the Box in the first half although we only seen one replay of that compared to the 7 when Hinkel and Edu collided.

I don't recall suggesting anywhere that Celtic should be grateful for correct decisions. The key point I have tried to put forward is that there is no anti Celtic bias from referees in Scotland. There never has been. I also believe there is a lot of selective memory is employed by Celtic fans when it comes to refereeing decisions. However hell will freeze over before some Celtic fans agree that they receive the same treatment as everyone else.

Because we don't, we are supposed to shut up and take it. As soon as you challenge it you are paranoid, if you document it you are tragic  apparently. Rangers are the establishment club, always have been always will be, we just need to be much better than them to overcome it.

Your arguement is pathetic to be honest, you can't even back it up when asked to and have been made to look pretty silly.

Yes, I must be stark raving not to believe there is some great conspiracy by Scottish referees against Celtic.   ;dingdell;

These Rangers/Celtic discussions are a bit like this really...........

Yip, can see where  they are coming from but another rather one sided viewpoint of the decisions in the game.

Bougherra's first booking was ridic, second was worth a booking and persistant fouling should have got him a second although Robbie Keane doesn't need a lot of encouragement to go down. The Kamara ones happen all the time with defenders and no way the ref would have seen them from his angle in real time. If McDonald booked Bougherra's second challenge rather than ridic decision to book his first 2 mins in then I don't believe there would be half the controversy here was over him staying on the park. There are a few tic players that have had the same luck in a other OF games, particularly Calderwood in the past, N'Guemo was pretty fortunate not to collect two bookings on Sunday and a case could be made to say the same for Fortune.

The no booking for Papac is a strange one even though there was no intent, I actually thought he had been booked until it was mentioned on this thread.

Not sure about the Kenny Miller one, looks like a ropey forwards challenge to me, would give him the benefit of the doubt that there was no intent (unless he wore the hoops  ;) ).

I doubt we will ever agree on this one but there is a solution that I would hope we could agree on and that is for the SFA to allow referees to explain their decisions retrospectively, at the moment I believe this only happens when there is an appeal but this sort of transparency should kill conspiracy theories once and for all.

Intent is irrelevant.

"A tackle that endangers the safety of an opponent must be sanctioned
as serious foul play.

Any player who lunges at an opponent in challenging for the ball from
the front, from the side or from behind using one or both legs, with
excessive force and endangering the safety of an opponent is guilty
of serious foul play.

Advantage should not be applied in situations involving serious foul
play unless there is a clear subsequent opportunity to score a goal.
The referee shall send off the player guilty of serious foul play when
the ball is next out of play."

As for referees explaining decisions retrospectively. They used to do that on The Whistleblower website. But they stopped after one season.

I might be able to claim partial credit/blame for this, after I got Donald McVicar to admit that a ref had awarded a penalty against Celtic for obstruction/impeding  rotflmfao

http://pokerdiv.blogspot.com/2006/02/donald-mcvicar-whistleblower-and-me.html

I think you've posted this link before but it is quality.  ;hattip;  I would give him far more credit for holding his hands up and saying he'd got it wrong.  I really can't believe any Scottish sports journalist worth his salt wouldn't follow it up though, must've been trying to keep them sweet at SFA headquarters.

Referees really should have the opportunity to explain decisions though and if they get it wrong often enough they should be subject to suspensions in the same way a player is when he collects too many bookings.

I know this is going nowhere but who is Calderwood and why was Fortune lucky to stay on? (genuine questions)

I don't know where Calderwood came from, hard day at work today I guess, I meant Gary Caldwell.

At the risk of opening the door to a fair bit of stick I can't actually remember the exact incident with Fortune but I remember at one point in the game after he'd been booked thinking that a foul he committed could have warranted a second yellow.

We're trying to forget Caldenbauer as well!!!

Maxriddles...I seriously cant believe your still debating this...YOU ARE NEVER GOING TO WIN AS THERE IS NO REASONING WITH THEM!!!! Its actually very boring!!!

To be honest I hope every year they hide behind this cloak of excuses- that'll do me nicely!!!

A wee quote from former Celtic Manager David Hay "It’s always better to raise this type of concern when you are winning, not when you are trailing by seven points in the championship.

It carries more credibility and avoids the accusation that it’s simply sour grapes"

Rest of the article is actually quite a good read: http://www.eveningtimes.co.uk/sport/sport-columnists/david-hay-big-jock-told-us-best-way-to-overcome-an-injustice-was-to-go-upfield-and-score-1.1009638

Keep sweeping.Both an Aberdeen fan and Ayr United fan said to me this week that they have changed their opinion and feel we have a case that the Refs are corrupt.If I was a Hun I would be loving the fact you's get all the decisions, no idea why you would try and cover it up.

AN Aberdeen fan AND an Ayr fan- ooooft, f**k it you've got a strong argument there...but anyway enuf...you'll not hear anymore from me...carry on!!!

The only Two non Celtic/Rangers fans I have spoke to thi sweek.
Since you used Davie Hay, here's another quote from him when he was Manager of Celtic after the Skol Cup Final of 1986
" If I had my way , Celtic's application to play in the English league would be filed tomorrow"

I totally agree with that actually. I hate blaming refs because it does sound like making excuses. Celtic are not a good team and haven't been since 2004 and I don't think we would win the league this season even if the refereeing had been semi-competant but the number of outrageous decisions we've had this season in particular is absurd and you've got to question whats going on.
