Celtic Ref in the limelight

-

I’ve always been told that bad decisions even themselves out. With that in mind, for once benefiting from a bad decision in a showpiece event seems long overdue. Maybe the list of others we have been on the wrong end of will now be avenged. Not that it gave me any pleasure to be reminded about the failings of our referees. It just seems they are wired to take the limelight with bad decisions.

The game itself was like watching dead air. One team showing signs of lethargy and the other showing little signs of imaginatio­n gave the whole occasion a tense and flat feel. The game was won during a 15-minute spell when some football broke out in between stalemate.

Maybe Craig Thomson did us a favour when he gave us the only talking point?
