I’m sure if the Scottish FA wanted to make it happen they could. They went all out to get Andrew Driver in the squad. Not that he ever played in the end Driver came under the education clause ( 5 years schooling) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said that at the time it would be hard to prove what he meant, yet the SFA decided they wanted to waste everyone’s time. Can only assume that Clare Whyte was short of hours on her timesheet that week. We've all been there tbf.

Aye, it’s a bit of a harmless joke that implies Celtic fans never have their tops off to be able to wash them so the white fades to grey. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought it might be something of that ilk. Not that Im one to judge but is Bennet not the guy who used to live in a bedsit?

sugna Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 On 09/10/2020 at 23:34, AJF said: Some interesting stats regarding Beaton for the conspiracy theorists out there Too many variables that could affect these numbers, given the small number of games involved (I mean fewer than a hundred). With that caveat, and looking at the win percentages only, Rangers are down from their overall average of 59%, and Celtic are down from their 77%. That's a 3% reduction and an 8% reduction, respectively, based on those respective overall averages. I would be very cautious about asserting that Beaton has more than twice the negative effect on Celtic's win percentage as he does on Rangers's: the data simply isn't robust enough; and even with enough "good" data, there's the possibility that he's considered a more senior referee and is allocated games that these teams are less likely to win. (That's all just to illustrate that basing conclusions on any such data is not justified.) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that stats alone cannot paint a definitive picture, but it does help highlight that fans like to see what they want to see. Which is no surprise to anyone, really. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You asked what 'green and greys' meant then automatically went "but Bennett used to live in a bedsit so it's a bit rich seeing as that type have no belongings or the ability to wash their clothes!!". It's a pretty abhorrent statement so I pulled you up on it. 31 minutes ago, Romeo said: 56 minutes ago, Mr. Alli said: Seems strange you'd lead with "I'm not one to judge" and then go on to calling everyone who lives in a bedsit a tinker who has nothing to their name and doesn't wash, tbh.

You have had a nightmare here Alli, you claimed I canvassed an entire group (my quotes show I didn't really) then you decide to pull an ethnic slur out the bag. A bit like Bennet, its a bit rich pulling anyone up now. Its time you slither away. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having Romeo chug you doesn't change that fact. Remember, you're "not one to judge". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
