This blog was conceived after the Scottish Cup Final of 2004 when Celtic played Dunfermline. The idea was discussed in The Last Post pub in Paisley late at night as a means of allowing us to share news, opinions and post links of mutual interest. The date of the Final was 22 May.

How to dive and attempt to get an opponent sent off with dignity - no.1
And the guy even has the gall to go moaning to the referee after his farcical dive.
Not a peep in the media of course. Scott Booth actually seemed to find it quite amusing.
Scott Booth is truly amongst the worst of commentators. What I can't really get my head around is if he just doesn't know how to comment on what everyone can see. Or is there a need if you want to remain in your job to adopt an anti Celtic bias and pander to Rangers?
They all do it as second nature in Scotland but it was great to watch the English coverage of Rangers against Sporting when Ferguson (booked) was said to have very deliberately put his studs in the player's leg after the ball had gone. Don't think Craig Paterson would have seen it like that.
No doubt Booth will be there next season and I will have to watch Setanta with the sound off.
Robson nominated for player of the year and can't get a game.
Good find Tony. If that had been Hessilink (and lets face it, him and Boyd are very similar in quality) there would be an issue made of this.
