referees on strike. all scotlandshire league fixtures cancelled next week

[Teacake]

Completely unrelated but a question for Scottish blondes.....
Just seen Ally McCoist while watching the Rangers V Man U game. On his jumper he has his initials as AMc

Why does the "c" need to be there? His initials are AM aren't they?

I've seen this with other Scottish managers/coaches/players but never questioned it before.

I refuse to tap that one in !!!

LOL Sandy.

The Mc signifies son of, so really it should be McC - as in Robert de Niro would be RdN.

[Graham C]

Does it?  Never knew that.

Forgive my ignorance, genuinely, but why would Chick being a St Mirren fan be so bad and render his views completely pointless?

Is there a single commentator/journalist on Scottish football who is neutral and respected on all sides and thus worth reading for a balanced view on this? If so, who? Links if you like.

That's twice you've completely missed the sarcasm (which I thought was really obvious) in my posts. I thought we only needed cue cards for Boba, the man who thinks Hugh Dallas going missing is because he retired as a ref, when instead he's the referees supervisor. Good luck with any credibilty in theis debate going forwards son.....

I thought he meant disappeared from reffing, tbh I dont read celtic related posts from you, teacake, div and Dave when he was here, always paranoid nonsense.  You've got a cheek to question anyones credibility, sometimes I question your credibility in life.  Youve barely posted on the forum recently and then you come back and post all this paranoid drivel.  Save it for your Celtic forums where you all blissfully seethe together and agree that the whole world is against you.

Oh and WD in avoiding all the points about your paranoid attitude, the overreaction and embarrassment caused by your club and instead focus on me thinking Teacake meant something else.

[The Camel]

I am usually sympathetic towards Celtic whenever I bother to think about Scottish football.

But the idea there is a concerted conspiracy against them is beyond ridiculous.

People make mistakes, it is just standard deviation that more mistakes have happened to be made to the detriment of Celtic than other teams recently.

Celtic and their fans need to grow up and stop whinging.

Over-reaction about our club more like, Houston of Dundee United & the Hearts Chairman have said worse things about the refs this season than Reid or Lennon, but it wouldn't fit the agenda for honesty to figure in the whole debacle would it.

Oh well, that's it over and done with then, the Camel has spoken.

Haha, would be pretty ridic if Dallas got the sack. Comedy email imo. Hardly sectarianism as is being claimed.

He gets off tomorrow,Stuart  Regan wanted him sacked but the old guard closed ranks and backed dallas

Do you think he should have been sacked because of that email?

In the position he's in, yes probably he should be given the sectarianism in Scotland. He should never have got the role as his most famous moment was a blatant regard of the laws of football.

I'm assuming you mean disregard but I have been thinking about it and can't really think of the moment you are referring to?

Robert de Niro is a football manager in the SPL?

(@Silo - the same goes for O' in O'Neill  or the van in Dutch names)

My appologies, yes DISregard.

He was made a national hero for making a debacle of the league deciding game Celtic v Rangers. I'm sure you will remember what he did wrong there....

[celtic]

Refs have confirmed they will def strike this weekend.

Good to see them make a decision and stick to it...

They had to ask the linesman first though.

Hearing this is going to escalate further very soon. SPL have said games are still on though.

OMG, I actually think you are serious!!  Why would any Celtic fan want reminded of that game or draw anyone's attention to it? The moment he is most famous for certainly was in that game and it came when he got his head on the end of a coin thrown by one of "the greatest fans in the world".

Yes & he was made a national hero for ignoring the laws of the game. Celtic fans were in the wrong that day, but so was Dallas, who should never have been given the game after applying for a job at Celtic and being rejected.

Wee test - what laws of the game did he ignore?

Latest Breaking news, according to a free-lance journalist (the one who broke the Dallas email story):

Hugh Dallas and Stewart Regan had a blazing row on Monday at the SFA headquarters in Glasgow.

Hugh Dallas offered to call off the referees strike if his disciplinary hearing into the Pope email was called off.

On hearing this ultimatum an SFA insider said:

“Regan went ballistic!”

Regan’s exact words, overheard by many in the office were:

“How fucking dare you! Don’t ever raise that again! Those two matters are totally unrelated!”

Hugh Dallas will hear his fate at 17.00hrs today in Glasgow.

I understand that Regan took on the percieved anti-Asian bias in Yorkshire Cricket & won, so it'll be interesting if he can take on the old boys club of the SFA......
