I think it was mentioned in the match thread mentor. Someone from the hat's father. Thoughts with their family.

Fully deserved as well, another great cup tie today! BigAl, my biggest worry is, that no-one with any power or sway seems to be bothered?!? So if the ones in charge won't/don't do anything about it we're pretty much fucked for the time being. Dallas and the SFA are being ridiculously pig headed. Call me cynical/realistic but until both cheeks of the infirm get done with the same inconsistent hand we seem to be getting dealt every game, there is even less likely of anything happening.

Completely agree with you funster. Its very disheartening that the sfa cannot admit to its failings with regards to this. The game is not about the referee, but they all seem to want to be the next Fucking collina!

But thats the thing, I haven't seen a huge media outcry about this? Or maybe i'm reading the wrong papers. Re Hugh Dallas, he most certainly has. Not sure what the hell he's doing, but its going wrong, and drastically so! http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/leagues/scottishpremier/rangers/6212231/Scottish-referees-chief-Hugh-Dallas-dismisses-talk-of-clampdown.html

I think I read on MAD (not sure if it was Mackie) that he clattered someone into the advertising hoardings? But apparently had the same done to him but the opposition player didn't get booked.

Maybe its the SPL's new pr campaign "SPL. More reds than neds" Seems like they (the referee's) are trying to get some media attention, because some of the decisions have been quite frankly embarrassing.

^^^^ What he said! You can just see it in Beckford, he acts like an arse but is a great finisher. Edit: Just seen this on BBC sport's live text on the Edinburgh Derby

Fabio has a brother who is meant to be amazing, think he's a right back. Fabio is usually a really good player, but he had a stinker today. For anyone interested, the West Ham - Arsenal game should also be on the itv website. As Much as I dislike Leeds, it did amuse me that the last clip shown of the crowd was giving the Mancs the V and saying "you fucking wankers"

Ha ha don't know where they got 5 mins from! Manchester United haven't deserved it today.

Mizer if you go onto itv.com you should be able to watch it there

Totally! Its end to end and a cracking atmosphere! A true cup tie

Thats being generous. The whole SE goes into meltdown at the mere thought of snow. There was huge panic because it was going to reach 0 and some areas -2. Some of my trains in the morning got delayed because of congestion and bad weather 2 days before... I say bring it

Fuck that, Man United-Leeds United on the box! Far better than that overrated bigot fest.

I'm not surprised! 7 in 8 is nuts! Nothing is ever straight forward with our team eh, like to keep it exciting

Glad you finally got your hole mini

Was thinking exactly the same thing when it linked me to RedWeb. Seemed like a bit of a pointless exercise to me.

Really? They are shocking attendances! Good to see Vidal making the bench for the second game in a row, was it a full strength City team? I always treated as cup games as a nice break from the regularity of the SPL. Would have thought the City game would have attracted a few more through the gates.

Are you a new breed of fan? Bedroom fan I see the scum have equalised now. Typical, Gerrard. Edit: MBT, its because he's a scouser

1 Rangers 18 34 43 2 Celtic 17 18 36 3 Hibernian 17 11 32 4 Dundee Utd 18 -1 28 5 Hearts 18 -2 23 6 Aberdeen 17 -5 21 7 Motherwell 18 -8 20 8 St Johnstone 17 -6 19 9 St Mirren 17 -6 17 10 Hamilton 16 -11 16 11 Kilmarnock 18 -11 14 12 Falkirk 17 -13 12 League table looks a bit better now, but christ its tight! Still closer to relegation than 3rd place. But its a good way to start the new year! Lets hope it gives the team some much needed confidence!

Bin dippers one nil down at Reading Anyone bothering to watch the bigot fest tomorrow?

Hopefully our team has taken advantage of their own winter break and pump these Bastard's! Come on you reds! Edit: dunno Wtf happened there! :\

Indeed, what we would be with him controlling midfield. Admitedly, it took him a bit of time to get used to the game, but why we got rid when he had a run in the side and seemed to have settled was beyond me. I still think we suffered because we got rid last season, but hey ho. Injuries aside, I always felt he was a decent player for us. Plus a few of us had a photo with him at the Falkirk "Stadium"

Fair enough, its a rational enough decision, I was just basing mine on performances for the club, but he did cost us a fuck load of money in the end! But you have just reminded me of one that I had completely blanked from my memory for obvious reasons....Jackie McNamarararara Think I may have another look at my team.

Exactly, fuck that, nae Plymouth player is worth it. Especially the ones murmered.

Bobby! How can you say Byrne was the worst signing? Crikey! At least he had some decent games. I mean, I wasn't his biggest fan by any stretch of the imagination and most of the time cursed his signing. But I would never give him that accolade of being the worst signing. Blaha is miles ahead of him in that Also, MadBad, no way was Touzani our worst midfielder, he would be up there with the best if he actually got played. That is all I have to say on the matter.
