Typical of the issues with legacy media the myth is being spread by the Ibrox messengers that Paulo Bernardo was lucky to avoid being sent off during Celtic’s victory in the Glasgow Derby.
The Portuguese midfielder was booked for celebrating scoring the opening goal off the pitch, an issue that is often overlooked in high pressure matches.
Midway through the second half James Tavernier played the ball towards the former Shrewsbury starlet with Bernardo closing in on the ball.
Now in his sixth season in Scottish football Goldson knows exactly how to play these situations. Give it ‘welly’ to play through the ball, deliberately into your opponent then fall to the ground squealing that you are the victim. A ploy that rarely fails domestically.
Goldson has done Bernardo and then tried to get Bernardo sent off.
Bernardo was booked early in the first half for celebrating his goal.
The logic is Bernardo should have been sent off for scoring and receiving studs to his knee?This was a red & should have been looked at. https://t.co/A8AwNjlUEU pic.twitter.com/LIzMtNqKO3

Predictably, taking their lead from old media on television and radio the accepted version of events is that Bernardo got away with one, Nick Walsh was afraid to make the big decision which is actually true.
Viewing the incident from close range, as shown in the video clip above the Bearsden based PE teacher should have detected the intent from Goldson with the decision being whether it was worth a yellow or red card.
To the surprise of no-one play restarted with a free kick awarded to the visiting team with Walsh coming off the park having taken the SPFL run without conceding a penalty to 74.
With John Beaton picking up the baton for Tuesday’s match against Kilmarnock it looks a formality that the Barcelona record is surpassed, taking the run beyond the two year mark.
Since popping a penalty past Allan McGregor in January 2022 Lewis Ferguson has gone on to join Bologna and become the top scoring Scot in Serie A, passing the totals of Denis Law, Graeme Souness and Joe Jordan.
It was great to see Peter Grant call it on on Sportscene, saying Bernardo was lucky not to get a serious injury! Wee McCann didn’t even argue when Grant said it.
Sunning it up here in Lanzarote so haven’t seen bbc Moanscene but if Terry was on the panel no doubt he was sitting there with his famous rule book.
On another matter it was good to read auld Spew Heevins article this morning oh F**K how he is hurting.
It was all about our bad signings and how there is still unrest at Celtic in the background,lol nothing bad about sevco or the shite they have signed in the summer,oh how we feel that BITTER TWISTED WE MANS PAIN.
Goldson was also involved with a snide forearm onto Palma’s throat which the SS overlooked in it’s coverage …I wonder why ? Also the big long ball merchant was destroyed by Kyogo on a number of occasions yesterday as a matter of ease . They all get found out in the end ..don’t they ?
Seriously ‘though…
Why don’t we send a feckin’ letter to the SFA demanding an explanation for this ?
Oh I forgot
Silence is Golden.
Silence is Golden…
Or Goldson !!!
Even without all the ‘assistance’ sevco still couldn’t beat us!
No wonder Clement is fizzing, and now throwing out his own deflections.
Clement has to get a tune out of a misfiring, very expensive loanee striker,
and he’ll be lucky to get another loanee or two in January?
The ‘assistance’ is going to get cranked up to ’11’ after the winter break… 🙁
Some really good laughing material on FF today,apparently we are a club in decline and sevco are the klub going forward.
Funny that I’m sure we are now 8 points clear,we are in decline but SKELPED them anyway,the ibrox klub are apparently SKINT while we have £70+ millions in the bank,ye that sounds and looks like a club on the decline.
Scud ,why are you slagging them off for being skint ,you’ve changed your tune ,our transfer budget is skint , never mind crowing about 70 million, sevco will spend money they haven’t got to bring in players that may change who wins the league,make no mistake Scud all we done yesterday was put the brakes on , sevco will tool up ,so I hope we will but I’m like you ,our board aren’t to be trusted.
If we had got beat big fuckin Tory Desmond might have told his pimp liewell to loosen the purse strings ,but all I fear now is we beat sevco so why bother spending money in the transfer window Brendan when you have just shown to me ,ie big Pete liewell and my nepotism son ,but more importantly big spend nothing multimillionaire Desmond, who doesn’t give a fuck about Celtic, these only care about finances, I know we slag off sevco but I wish we had sevco on our board with the way they stand up for their club.
Seco calling out corruption can’t argue with that after all they are experts at it
Lol now the war cry on FF was that the first goal should not have been given as when the corner got took it went out park before swinging back on to the park and the goal should have been chopped off,oh dear.
The klan klub support now demand that the audio be released as to Willie on VAR duty F****D up,oh and apparently while they are at it questions need to be answered why the klan fans got no tickets fir the game yesterday.
Lol just what planet are these DOPEY C****S on.
Rest assured Scud – That audio WILL be realeased…
Because this is not so very Bonnie Scotland – And in not so very Bonnie Scotland –
Sevco MUST ALWAYS get what it bitches for, wails for, whinges for and Demands…
And get it they absolutely will !
Scud ,our board must now do the same.sevco have never conceded a penalty since , Ferguson got one for Aberdeen and sevco bitched about it to the SFA,since then they’ve never conceded one ,coincence or what, make no mistake these Huns are now writing to SFA why they didn’t get a penalty , let’s hope the SFA hold their nerve, but with big Pete liewell something to do with football committees, I wouldn’t be sure about anything.
Hence the reason officials hesitate to give decisions against them…. squeal and shout about every single one that they perceive to go against them, Celtic had a reply yet for their VAR audio on the stonewall penalty turnbull was denied?
HH
This is not the first time that horrible ugly bastard goldshit has went through the ball and hoping to injure the opposition player with the follow through, then squealing like the pig he is?
Done it many times before yesterday and lucky Paulo wasn’t seriously injured from the ugly horse faced tosser?
And the cheek of the scum cheerleaders, led by that bitter Hun excuse of a so called human in the fat monster munching prick is yet nothing more than the scandalous reporting that continues within Scottish football, backed up by all the scum cheerleaders in doing so imo?
