Today's Guardian carries a match report of yesterday's League Cup final. It's penned by Allison McConnell, former cub reporter at ra Sellik View. Obviously, conditioned by her previous employment, Allison has managed to construct a number of words to describe her heroes' goal, "Rangers lost to a Christopher Jullien goal that Television pictures suggested was offside".

 

Note, Allison doesn't state the goal was offside, it's those remote TV pictures that suggest it may be so. Allison's sin is clean.

 

How are you and Chris getting on these days? TV pictures suggest Chris behaved in an offside manner?

 

Please feel free to contribute other conditioned descriptions of the goal. We should have a prize, 'the Man in the Know' award for the most construed.

“Rangers lost to a clinical finish from Julien from a superb Christie free kick brought about by an atrocious hack on ‘French Eddie’ by Goldson who was lucky to escape a red card. Julien may have strayed marginally offside if some TV angles and Sevco fans are to be believed. But he didn’t know he was offside, McGreogor the H*n keeper didn’t know he was offside, 50,000 fans didn’t know he was offside, and the assistant referee who was perfectly positioned could not have reasonably flagged for offside due to several other Celts who were potentially in an offside position obstructing his view”

You almost had me till the part in bold.... Julien was the player closest to the linesman

Driving home this evening, I heard the first 15 minutes of Radio Snyde.

 

The nasal whine that is Nuremberg Hugh aka Hugh Keevins is undecided on the merits of ra Sellik's goal, He has seen pictures suggesting Jullien was offside, and other pictures show him to be on side. His conclusion being we have to issue all officials a Hubble Telescope. A rangers supporter challenged Undecided Hugh and he was swatted with, "I witnessed Ronnie Deila's Celtic being denied a treble after the referee ignored a clear penalty, the ball struck the defender's extended arm. Further, if the caller is honest he will remember Rangers being benefited by off side goals".

 

Notice, Hugh states any offside is suggested whereas other pictures are on side. His answer to the caller includes Sellik suffering from an injustice, reinforced by a plea to the caller's honesty. I suspect Hugh and Allison have both read the same briefing?

 

Nine years past, we had a Referees' strike in Scotland. Their employers ie the SFA did not support them(well, Peter did not allow them to do so). Foreign Refs were brought in to break the strike. Interestingly, Hugh was undecided at the time; but he did tell the story of attending a Sellik ECWC semi-final against Liverpool in 1965. He was certain that he and every other attendee at Sellik Park that night knew ra Sellik had been cheated. Bobby Lennox had scored a perfectly good goal ruled offside. I mean, foreign Ref', European game; what the fcuk has that got to do with a Ref' strike in Scotland?

 

Hugh has never explained why he continually described the pre-Champions League atmosphere at Ibrox, "as akin to a Nuremberg Rally". It was the 1935 Nuremberg Laws that condemned several million Jews, Gypsies, disabled, Freemasons, Scout Leaders, ..... etc to the gas chambers.
