The Bootiful Game

What the hell is wrong with Scottish football?

The national side beating France home and away and rising to 14th in FIFA's world rankings...

Rangers handing Lyon a three goal beating away from home...

Celtic beating AC Milan, repeat AC Milan 2-1 at Parkhead...

Hopefully the Dons will take heart from this and do the business against Dnipro!

This surely cannot be right.

Bring back Bertie Vogts before its too late!

On a serious note the villain of the piece tonight is not Dida for the most ridiculous, sustained bit of cheating acting since Rivaldo. No, it is the wee ned fan who ran on and presented the cheat goalkeeper with the opportunity.

As I've said at my place a small fine for Celtic and a one season ban for the keeper would be a just settlement.
However with UEFA's track record that won't happen.

Rab - that's just rubbish. Sure the 'keeper could give Jamie Foxx a run for his money at an Oscar ceremony, but the crime, and that's what it was, a crime, of invading the pitch is far, far worse.

The wee f*d could have had a weapon in wreaked much havoc.

It's a bit like saying the guy who parked on a double yellow line could kill someone with his car. There was no serious incident - Gawd when I was a boy there were pitch invasions all the time. When I said a small fine for Celtic I meant in football terms so perhaps £25,000 would remind them of their obligations to provide a safe environment for the players. I also think a ban for Dida would be in order, perhaps a two game one like Mikalaunus got.

From the BBC

"Celtic are fined £25,000 and AC Milan goalkeeper Dida is banned for two matches following trouble in the recent Champions League match."

This has been Mystic Rab!
