Unfortunately you have to listen to some cream bun caller here, whining on about refereeing decisions (don't you know that refereeing mistakes have only ever favoured Celtic this season?) before getting to the good bit.
Darrell King is an Evening Times hack who only ever writes about Rangers and has been a "pundit" on Radio Clyde for some time now.
Responding to aforementioned whiney hun caller on the Clyde phone-in last night, and clearly hurting over Rangers' failure to beat Hibs yesterday, King's mask of neutrality slipped badly. He called for the referee of Celtic's game with Motherwell [Paul Conroy] to explain the erroneous decision to award Celtic a corner from which they scored.
Logic may have suggested Saturday evening's Clyde phone-in afforded enough opportunity to analyse that particular incident and that further discussion on the Sunday evening would run the risk of moving into overkill. It might reasonably have been expected that attention could be switched to the respective performances of Rangers and Hibs yesterday; perhaps even - and I'm probably being wildly outlandish here - a bit of debate over why Hibs were wrong denied a clear goalscoring opportunity.
Never mind, there's a media agenda to get on with, to convince us all that refereeing mistakes only ever benefit Celtic [disallowed goals for Celtic - Samaras, McDonald etc. - are cast into an Orwellian black hole never to be mentioned again].
Anyway, in this particular instance, Davie Provan went some way to restoring some semblance of his professional integrity by taking King to task...
