What's the issue with narrowing the pitch? That's a fairly widespread tactic

It's the cup semi, it's meant to be "neutral"

That's actually a very good point, how are pitch dimensions, changing rooms etc. usually chosen for neutral venues?

The draw itself decides changing rooms for logistics

Pitch is often down to stadium management or competition organisers

bobmalooka

I was thinking the draw would take care of dressing rooms, home kit etc.

I guess it's the matter of pitch dimensions that needs clearing up, I presume the sfa can't dictate how much the pitch is watered or the length of the grass but pitch dimensions should be specified.

They "should", but they should probably make sure that a season ticket holder of one of the teams isn't the referee

Forgot about that, yea bad form alright.

Is there anything tangible suggesting the ref is a season ticket holder at ibrox or isnitnjust hearsay?

2-0 to Dundee United.

Some very strange decisions from the ref. 5 minutes to half time.

EDIT - 2-1 now.

It's utter nonsense, he's just a ****e referee but as usual some people take what they read on Celtic forums as gospel.

We should be winning this game.

Jesus ****ing Christ.
Its no wonder I stopped posting on here when its filled with ****e like that.

Human decency? Its a ****ing football match.
Scotland currently has hundreds of thousands of children living in poverty, and you think that human decency hangs upon Rangers losing a game of football?
Is Simonsen's mistake somehow the turning point on world peace and politicians and leaders will decide that, after witnessing it, they'll wipe out 3rd World debt?

Or is the hatred you hold simply skewing your idea of what constitutes your perverse idea of 'human decency'?

You are clearly upset after your team lost the match. I touched a nerve there and you extrapolated too much from it.

Apologise immediately!!!!

You did indeed, I'm not a huge fan of hatred being hidden behind the twisting of ideals such as human decency.
But i'll leave that for your own conscience to deal with, i've got better things to be doing.

5 minutes in Ibrox and they would be looking for the plane back to Pyongyang

Lighten up folks ye were well beaten by a club two divisions above ye and with over 100 years of tradition. Take it on the chin. Best of British and all that...

My club was knocked out the cup by Aberdeen...

I see an armed gang have taken control of a Police Station in Eastern Ukraine. Obviously the thawing in hostilities provoked by the common enjoyment of seeing Rangers beaten didn't last
