Was reading the Celtic forum on another website and saw an article which picked out the mentions of Kris Boyd from the live text of today's game taken from BBC Sport online. Think it is worth reproducing here especially for bad.monkey to let him know how well his hero played:

70:29 Kris Boyd is ruled offside.

55:10 Barry Robson fouled by Kris Boyd

53:04 Booking for Kris Boyd.

52:59 Kris Boyd gives away a free kick for an unfair challenge...

45:38 Kris Boyd challenges Gary Caldwell unfairly and gives away a free kick.

31:36 Kris Boyd concedes a free kick for a foul on Marc Crosas.

10:57 The assistant referee flags for offside against Kris Boyd

2:52 Kris Boyd challenges Gary Caldwell unfairly and gives away a free kick

(Thanks to MicksATim {..PH: "I lived the dream".. } for picking out Boyd's excellent contributions to the game).

GerryMc Just in case you are taking me literally, this thing about Refs being Freemasons in Scotland is just a thing that Celtic Supporters go on about to explain the litany of bad decisions that we always seem to get in games against Rangers. Thus after a bad decision the chant will inevitably go up "Who's the Mason in the Black". I'm quite sure that modern referees are not Lodge Members, they only act as if they are biased.

Masonic lodge??! Yet another exaggerated spook story to make the old firm sound interesting. Its a game of football lads, nothing more. If it really mattered that much then kenny miller would never have moved to celtic from rangers, and then back again. Neither the clubs nor the player would have gone for the move if they took anything the 'hardcore fans' have to say seriously.

Did Tommy Burns not raise this issue after a new years Old firm match 97/98 ish. Hugh Dallas might have been the ref cant remember though.
Maybe the AOH or the Knights of Columbanus should groom a few refs to counter this factor

No not really real louth fan, especially since you never actually proved my point to be inaccurate, but insteaad just tried to belittle it, exactly what you usually do to be fair. If you actually read what i said you might realise that I am spot on. I'l expand on it further as you seem to lack the ability to conprehend it. The connect between referees and the big bad masonic lodge is exaggerated and built up into a conspiricy theory by those who want something to cry about when a decision doesnt go their way.

The argument who's better between Boyd and Larsson is like watching two bald men fight over a comb, both scored goals in a League that is, at best, the equivalent of League 1 in England. Boyd is a better poacher, Larsson the better footballer. Neither what you call top quality though

I read it! I dont see whats embarressing. He merely points out that fantasy induced supporters like CorkCelt and Ulsterman like to indulge in myths to make the dreary grey sodden SPL Tolerable. I agree. I see CC always says before he was born into being a Celtic supporter. I hope that was Cork Celtic he was on about, maybe they then could of survived as a Club.

And only one of those goals came against Celtic monkey. Boyd is a great man to score against small teams but as well as his failure vs. Celtic he also has a dismal record in Europe and internationally (he quit the Scottish team because Burley deemed him not good enough to start). He is frequently dropped by his manager for bigger games as he offers nothing in general play.



Must hacve modelled himself on Cantona/Henry/C.Ronaldo.

This statement does not bear scrutiny and is typical of the ill-informed, tabloid contributions you make. I'm not going to waste my time proving you wrong as your previous on here means you will ignore the facts presented to you and force the same rubbish down people throats within two weeks.

paddy, What is a fantasy induced supporter, sounds a bit erotic. Apparently according to your goodself both myself and Ulsterman qualify as fantasy induced supporters, so I'd like to know what it is we are being accused of. Re supporting Cork Celtic, Nope not a chance, in fact they were my bitter enemies. I was a fantasy induced Cork Hibs Supporter. I was a Season Ticket holder for many years, still didn't prevent them from going out of business. Stuff that you, The Master and Pomeroy write washes off me like water from a ducks back, ye simply don't understand what the Celtic thing is all about and accordingly debate with ye on these matters is futile. I have no problem at all with ye're lack of knowledge or interest, as there are many many more like ye throughout the Country, what gets me is why ye feel compelled to post about it.

Well , The Master, I suppose it started as a child when my Dad told me stories about the Club. When I read their History and the involvement of Davitt and the Fenians and the story of Bro. Walfrid it fired my imagination. From my youngest days I held very strong Nationalist views and Celtics strong Irish Links made it a natural home for me. When I became an adult and joined a Celtic Supporters Club and started traveling to matches I formed an immediate empathy with Scottish Celtic Supporters. I actually met a young lad in a pub one night who proudly told me in a broad Scottish accent that he was from Mayo. It actually transpired that his great grandparents were from Mayo but as far as he was concerned , he was still from Mayo. Its the same with lads whose ancestors came from Donegal or Sligo or wherever. They associate with where their ancestors were during the Famine. The cynics amongst you will no doubt mock their emotional attachment to Ireland but it touched a chord within me. I love these guys, I love all Celtic Supporters. I have met friends from all over the world through my Celtic connections and following Celtic has become a huge part of my Social Life.
