Celtic vs Sevco Sun Feb 1st, 1:30pm, live on BBC

I'm pretty sure Thomson grew up a Hearts fan as well mate. Heard that mentioned a few times.

 

I never knew that, couple of us were talking about his ibrox showing on here when maloney was hacked a couple times and we were physically battered. He didn't seem neutral that day

 

The people already blaming the ref before the game has even begun are really not helping with the whole 'paranoid' stereotype.

 

I haven't seen anyone blaming the ref. What can he be blamed for at this stage? I would say looking back on games against Oldco, it's no wonder we are thinking the worst could happen though.

 

Just highlighting the probable possibilities..

Even with some questionable decisions against us I'd still be majorly * at not beating these and my anger would be pointing more to home than the referee to be honest..

 

Does being a Hearts fan mean he would be a neutral :smiley-laughing002:

 

Thompson a St Mirren fan

 

Good spot , riddy of a statement :smiley-laughing002:

I wonder who most hearts fans favoured on the occasions

Helping out big brother, understandable..

 

So is chick young

 

I don't think Thomson is a bad referee, he's the best in Scotland. I don't believe he is biased either.

He's 42 and will probably retire soon. Count your blessings because all we will have left is Collum, Madden, Dallas etc etc

 

Shows how bad they are as he is the best of a dreadful lot..

Clancy and Maclean 2 other of the newer kids on the block.

 

Craig is really the best of a bad bunch. Thank * it´s not Madden or Gollum.

 

Bitton should be one of the first names on the team sheet.

One of the best first touches in the team, calm, composed and can pick a pass.

If people don't want us to be drawn into a kicking match, then why play combative players only in midfield?

The Zombies have never faced a player of Bitton's technical ability, they'll not know how to handle it, I reckon.

 

That was unreal. Looking in the complete opposite direction, yet is able to award a penalty. Lafferty's tackle on Hinkel, Maloney's penalties at Ibrox, Brown being sent off for nout. Then there was the game Bougherra was booked early in the game, and then went on to commit another 7 fouls without seeing a second yellow. Mostly on Robbie Keane if I remember correctly. That is just off the top of my head.

 

Who was the referee when Kevin Thompson went right through Robbie Keane then pushed him to the ground when he tried to get up? The tackle should have been a straight red, and the push could have possibly warranted a red, but if I remember correctly, he either got a yellow or a warning.

 

Never forget Bougherra in that game. He played * keepy up with Robbie Keane and got away with it. * hate that *.
That sticks out in my mind as one of the VERY worst if not THEE worst refs performances of all time. Penalty was enough to get him retired never mind the rest of his *..Utter * !!

 

Man handling him..

David healy booting/assaulting forrest by the main stand, booked..
The list is endless, always remember Craig Moore, big aussie * kicking Henrik up in the air on the halfway line at that dump from behind, they always got away with being animals..

 

Reckon sevco will play 5-4-1 to keep it tight and play for set pieces with daly up top, or long ball for misser to chase like a headless chicken.

Also reckon they will throw bell in goals for this although hes just returned to training.

Anyway im taking celtic -3 for this game

 

Looking at there match thread and they want to target ambrose as they think he'll be right back

Van dijk is the only one that carries the ball from defence. Denayer, izzy and lustig don't then
