A certain John Boyle also.

Europe/Additional money aside, the top 6 also invites the possibility of a Skippy Sunday scenario.

There was a point a while ago where there was at least an acknowledgement of it (The Blue Book?) And Billy Boys was all but eradicated (at Ibrox anyway). Definite resurgence in the past few years, possibly down to the scrapping of the OB@F act?

Loads of whataboutery going about on Twitter etc. There is a huge common denominator - You don't see much trouble unless certain clubs are involved. Thousands indulging in sectarianism etc every single week, no matter who they're playing.

I like that strip and have it framed, pride of place in th man cave, along with (so far) Memorabilia from our fist game in Europe and also a Motherwell rug on the floor.

Brown was in absolutely no position to get away with the hard man act etc in European games though. You saw a slight shift in how he was treated when he moved to Aberdeen as well.

McAusland is half-heartedly contesting a ball he has no prospect of winning.

Its a downright lie to say Casey goes in late (as Sue Smith does). Yes Casey is robust, but clearly wins the ball well ahead. Its McAusland who is late into the tackle and leaves his leg in.

Pretty arrogant and entitled of Thompson to expect us not to celebrate. Hilarity was always going to ensue. I couldn't make the game, but ended up watching it in (I think) the bar at Rugby Park with a mate who was a Rangers fan and a mate who was a Celtic fan. Obvious scenes when we scored the late goals and my (Celtic supporting) mate looked like he was either going burst out crying or swing a punch at me

Depends who's playing. There was a 5 min, detailed check on a routine yellow card at Fir Park on Sun. As noted elsewhere in the thread, the idea of "Clear and obvious" has been ditched - Subjective reviews are a case in point. If the review is ambiguous to the level that its down to a referee's specific interpretation of an incident, then it's surely not an obvious error.

Ideally the WS keep majority shareholding, but the way the question was framed, yes I would consider proposals, depending on what they offered.

As you say, that's what he's trying to do, but if there's one club in World football that doesn't need to cultivate a victim/seige complex its Celtic.

An absolute shambles at LB since Gent went off.

Before Butcher puts his hands on the Aberdeen defender there is clear shirt-pulling on Mugabe, so should have been a pen had VAR reviewed a few frames back. Penalising shirt-pulls was all the rage for about a week, then started to get ignored again.
