From the BBC "The sending-off is uncalled for and unnecessary. It's very soft. I have looked at it; if there was any contact it was minimal." No that is not from the archive and no it did not originate from the ICT appeal against the Juanjo sending off.

 

In terms of justice, I hope Celtic appeal the Brown sending off. We won our appeal because it was a blatant injustice. Hopefully last night's subtle trip and blatant kick were really blatant injustices. We all know that Brown gets away with quite a lot in the Scottish game. Interesting also to see the Celtic centre half leaning into a Barca player and then giving him a shove. Sooner or later we might see that being punished in the Scottish game.

 

When Doran was bundled over at Celtic Park in the 2-2 draw it looked like a clear foul. 

Tuned into Radio Scotland for the slot usually occupied by Sportsound and caught the Scott Brown show. Listened to the end but there was no indication whether it was a one off or whether it will become a regular Wednesday feature.

 

As I was in the car, I somewhat misguidedly tuned into 810 MW again at ten past six this evening and caught a programme almost entirely  devoted to the offfield  affairs of a team with one Third Division title to their name and the slim prospects of Celtic's goalkeeper gaining international recognition.

 

Have BBC Scotland given up any pretence of interest in anything that goes on in Scottish football outside of Glasgow ?

Okay - so this afternoon at Tannadice, I spotted... Scott Brown!

Is that better than the BBC?
