74′ I wonder how Neil Lennon who was almost floored by an attempted punch thrown by an illiterate gorgie binman is doing after requiring medical attention , and I also wonder where the articles on the disgraceful incident [ not to mention the court judgement ] are on Yahoosie for us to comment on . Considering the behaviour of Hearts fans at Tinnycastle in the past several seasons surely it is time they were banned from that venue [ unless they can make a small contribution towards their tax liability of course ...]
Injuring footie managers is an utter NOTNICETHING - Heartypoos have a rogue element in their support that deserve being told off and it is time that the football authorities hit the club in the proverbial...

I wonder how the ball boy who was hurt by missiles thrown by the Celtic supporters is doing after requiring medical attention, and I also wonder where the articles on the disgraceful incident are on Yahoo for us to comment on. Considering the behaviour of Celtic fans at Tynecastle in the past two seasons surely it is time that they were banned from that venue.
Injuring kids is an utter DISGRACE- Celtic have a rogue element in their support that deserve condemnation and it is time that the football authorities hit the club in the pocket.

Breaking news...the Sun have tapped into Craig Whyte's phone and topped it up with a tenner.

Lysdexic, that will be because William Collum has the final say and indeed the ultimate responsibility for making the FINAL decision. He and he alone must ensure fair play and get the big decisions correct.
Stating facts about where he teaches and suggesting he may be intimidated by threatening phone calls is not sectarian and my comments about the phone calls to his home threatening him after the OF game on the 24th Oct 2010 (an actual date not fiction like the rubbish you post, just in case you wanted to check it) came from his bosses at the SFA..... you really are so far up yourself but hey why not you actually believe your team might win the SPL.

still no sign of a ban for diving MULGREW maybe tomorrow...there is nothing wrong with this comment aluko got banned for two matches for diving same thing MULGREW did

still looking to see if mulgrew gets a 2 match ban for diving trying to get a penalty

Punch to the gut, upper-cut, then a right hook and down he goes!

Just a wee question for you though dalfo; why is it when it was in fact Andy Tait's call to determine whether the ball had crossed the line, have you not provided us with his personal history?
I take it that doesn't suit your agenda!

Did you not understand the question dalfo?
You, being an orc, pointing your sharpened wee finger at Collum's religion, what school he attends and his profession, as well as accusing him of bias, is in fact sectarian.
You being an orc, regurgitating drivel suggesting 'undertones', and offering it as some kind of fact and implying that he is being intimidated into not doing his job properly is asinine.
You also point your sharpened we finger at Celtic fans, when you know no more than anybody else whether or not it was actually Celtic fans.
Just a wee bit of advice for you dalfo, looking up a facebook page or wiki doesn't constitute research, it is merely spreading gossip; the way you've used it though is sectarian!

Lysdexic, thanks for giving me the chance to explain. I simply did the research on William Collum and the details are below.
It's understood Collum reported the calls to the police but turned down the offer of protection outside his home. The 31-year-old outraged Celtic manager Neil Lennon by awarding Rangers a penalty in the second half of the top of the table showdown.
Last night Collum's SFA bosses confirmed that he had been the target of death threats and added that there was a sectarian undertone to the calls .
Your apology is accepted.
