They hide in plain sight, that type

Yeah. His final ball was erratic. I thought that his defensive play, supporting Tavenier, was good.

Was Cadeias more effective?

Is he better than Cadeias?

"Dutch referee awards four red cards, 15 minutes of injury time, celebrates with winning team and gets lifetime ban" Will never happen in Scotland, the ban that is. At least the referee was honest, and that will never happen in Scotland. Dutch referee awards four red cards, 15 minutes of injury time, celebrates with winning team and gets lifetime ban Eredivisie May 15, 2024 Dutch referee awards four red cards, 15 minutes of injury time, celebrates with winning team and gets lifetime ban - foot.mundo (footmundo.co.uk) Referee Jan Smit has been given a lifetime ban by the Dutch FA [KNVB], and it’s pretty easy to see why. The official was in charge of a fourth-division match between St. George and SV De Valken, and to say his performance benefitted the home side would be one hell of an understatement. During the course of the game, 61-year-old Smit handed out four red cards to SV De Valken, and with St. George needing to equalise to win the league, 15 minutes of stoppage time were awarded and they then scored the title-clinching goal. Post-match Smit was seen on stage holding the championship trophy aloft with the players cheering on as he hoisted the prize. He then performed club anthem ‘Guardian Angel’ on the microphone in front of the celebrating supporters. The KNVB, which is the governing body for the top tier Eredivisie downwards, has now handed Smit a lifetime ban from officiating football matches. KNVB spokesperson Daan Schippers said in a statement: “We have received several complaints after Sunday’s match. This morning we called Mr Smit and told him that he is no longer allowed to referee matches. We expect a neutral attitude from a referee and that both teams are treated with respect.” Despite the damning match statistics and footage of the celebrations, Smit has called the decision ‘laughable’. Speaking to NH Nieuws, he said: “I can understand that SV De Valken is disappointed with the course of the match. However, in my opinion, the four red cards given were all one hundred per cent justified. “Before the match I was asked by players from St. George if I wanted to sing a song afterwards. I have done that several times in the past, including at Spartans, VVS, Grasshoppers and also in Amsterdam at ASV Arsenal.” “I said that if they were to become champions, I would like to sing a song. During the chorus of ‘The Guardian Angel’, the bowl was pressed into my hands and I held it up. “De Valken, however, did not appreciate this. They just forwarded that video to the KNVB and filed a complaint. “I wasn’t partying with the players at all. I just sang a song and held up the bowl once. That’s the only thing. I find it too sad for words that the KNVB is removing me for that reason. “It’s laughable. The KNVB has not done any research and only watched one video. I assume that my career is now over.” -

Collum, I believe, is heidie at St Inquisitor's, or some such, Bigot Factory, for which the salary will be substantial. I don't expect he will be taking a cut, so the salary from the SFA must be significant. Collum, I fear, will earn those wages. Rangers, I fear, can expect only a ramping up of Yellow cards, Red cards, and, of course, the Catholic card. -

Maxwell, Rab, according to BBC Scotland's Irishman English, owes his position to Lawwell. English wrote a piece on the BBC Sport Scotland website to that effect. I have posted a copy before, and will try to find it again. -

Lundstram: renew or release? Is this still a question? Really? Off to the Towers of Trebizond with him.
