  1. Another that springs to mind was a league game that ended in a draw round about the time we won the League Cup. Two big referreeing calls went against both sides that day so, naturally, with the honest mistakes shared out equally you've got zero problem moving on from it.

    Shortly afterwards, Pat Bonner, discussing Celtic's recent form, refers to "the draw in Paisley", then mutters "of course they had the two decisions go against them that day" 😀

    I always wondered, had he already completely erased the two that went in their favour from his memory, or did he offset them with two decisions that he saw go in Rangers' favour in a completely different game that didn't even involve Celtic or St Mirren, as per the logic that you sometimes hear being applied?

    That was the day I learned that Pat's gentlemanly demeanor didn't necessarilly mean that he wasn't as much of a clown as anyone else on there.

  2. 1 hour ago, Molotov said:

    Eddie Smith was also the referee that sent off Will Haining

    “Referee Smith decided that the striker had been tugged from behind by the defender, who was shown a red card, although television pictures suggested that Vennegoor of Hesselink had been doing his own share of holding.

    Howard saved Robson's spot kick with his legs but could not prevent the ball spinning a matter of inches over the line before the goalkeeper swiped it clear.

    The 10-man Buddies almost equalised immediately, but an O'Donnell snap-shot flew wide of the far post.“

    Basically Eddie Smith should never have been allowed to referee any games involving his beloved Celtic. 

    Gus MacPherson also said that Eddie Smith had been winking at him during the game. 😀

    Smith also knocked back the red card appeal, which at that time was overseen by the ref himself.

    I was working that day and was listening to the game with a Rangers fan. As the game dragged on at 0-0 I remember saying "That'll be the penalty claims starting soon", and sure enough....

  3. Google translating the comments section of the report in El Mundo.

    "I don't know which team the reporter is talking about. We watched different games. Yesterday, plain and simple, the Virgin Mary appeared for us and the referee was a little sister of charity".

    No se de qué equipo habla el redactor. Habremos visto partidos distintos. Ayer simple y llanamente se nos apareció la virgen y el árbitro fue una hermanita de la caridad.
