Dirty Sanchez

You used to expect Money to save penalties. Expect. Because he usually did save them. I reckon he's not only better than everyone since him, he's streets ahead of most of them.

In an interview he once did with Stephen Fry, CNN founder Ted Turner made a very reasonable point when he suggested that it would surely be preferable to be met by 300 utter slappers than 300 virgins.

This has just been repeated on the evening news.

Meanwhile Andrew Dallas slithers back into action tomorrow at QoS v Dundee Utd, with presumed adult film star Kylie Cockburn as his fluffer assistant.

Trump now tweeting that Josh Magennis has been spotted in the migrant caravan heading for the US southern border.

I'm hearing this morning that some of the W7 guys have been spotted going through security at Glasgow Airport carrying shampoo bottles larger than 100ml in their hand luggage. Apparently one of them didn't even have his bottle in a wee plastic bag.

If you take the unconscious man out of the equation, was the story still making the national evening news?

Fuxake, who needs Russian fake news bots to peddle damaging shite?

Roland Fabiani.

I was busy commending Willie Collum for having a decent game for a change, then I tune into Sportscene and see the Paul McGinn challenge.

The Duck is like Isma with a few cans in him.

Following on from the tank, there was a guy who used to park a hovercraft in Erskine in the early 80s. It was about as big as a good sized van, and he just parked it alongside the cars in a normal bay. I'd love to think he was commuting up the Clyde in it, but I don't know.

At 1-0 I was actually thinking that it might be better just to lose 1-0, rather than have the additional disappointment of losing 2-1 after the false hope of an equaliser.

He's the 4th official for Hamilton v St Johnstone tomorrow and Aberdeen v QoS on Sunday.

The 20 yard box.

I just read that whole article into myself in a scouse accent.

I was having a look at the Celtic view on this on their Kerrydale Street site. Amongst a full analysis of all the penalties, one guy has posted the following regarding the handball one:

The game was totally different before and after the third penalty . Even those two fannies on Rangers TV gave us, quote, "a puncher's chance" at 1-0. It was only shooty-in after the third penalty. Before that we were containing them fairly well. The Rangers TV guys eventually got carried away, asking "What would the score be without this goalkeeper?" Probably about 7-0, but with a proper referee in charge it would most likely still have been 1-0.

One of my favourite Ibrox penalty incidents from the past. From 9:10 in the video. For younger viewers, this is with Saints already leading 3-2 on aggregate in the 2nd half of the League Cup Semi Final 2nd Leg. Of course, the penalty later awarded to Rangers was a stone waller on John McDonald ( who was known as Polaris, named after the nuclear submarines of the time due to his prolific diving).

It's actually a possible get out option for the SFA, to cite two **** for diving and take the heat off their referee. Of course, this is unlikely to happen because the **** are more powerful than the SFA, who will be too scared to rattle their cage.

Fair play to Sportscene for not shirking it. Thommo and Stewart gave Hugh's boy a real custard pieing. They fingered Candeias and to a lesser extent Defoe for simulation, Here's the thing. When Isma dived for a penalty against Celtic, he was cited and given a two game ban, specifically for causing the referee to make a wrong decision through simulation. Where's the two game ban for Candeias? It's clear as day that's exactly what he did. Have the rules changed?

Before the third penalty how many meaningful saves had Hladky made?

Judging by the coverage on Radio Scotland (i.e. none) I predict we won't hear much more about this unless Kearney has a Craig Levein style meltdown in an interview, or if Celtic pick up on it.

There will be plenty of teams who have won a penalty shoot out whilst taking fewer penalties than Rangers today.

Yes, people who are against VAR will be delighted they've got a chance to have a good chinwag about this in the pub. It's football tradition after all.
