Now, before you all start, we are meant to be paranoid. Ok?
Well, if we are paranoid, after this latest announcement it’s with bloody good reason.
I wrote an article just about a week ago where a Follow Follow thread was boasting about how ex-referees make great after dinner speakers.
Check out the news from all the Celtic blogs across the web HERE
The list of names in that thread is detailed in the link above but what it did do is confirm that there is an unhealthy and inherent constitutional footballing bias amongst the top referees in our game.
If there isn’t, why are they constantly being invited to these ‘Sash Bashes’, sorry, I meant Sportsman’s Dinners. My bad.
And the line up to the next Sash….Sportsman’s Dinner just confirms our suspicions:
What possible reason could there be to invite a former referee to a strictly [dead] Rangers event?
What stories could Bobb Tait regale to keep the marching hordes entertained for hours?
We all know, but it will not be said.
You just keep being paranoid there in the corner Timmy!
Nothing to see here 🙈

“I remember the time Roy Aitken went done in the box at Ibrox and it was a certain penalty but I winked to Big Tam Forsyth and told Roy I hadn’t seen it and then gave a free kick to the Queens’s 11” (Feet stamp and uproar in the audience).”So now let’s finish with The Sash ..”
