Over the course of the last few days Clyde Super Scoreboard has provided the outlet for every mad John from Bridgeton/Larkhall/Kilwinning/Bearsden to vent 90% of their anger about Willie Collum.
The 10% missing is his background in education that cuts to the heart of the issue and explains 15 years of bending over backwards to pander to the bears with some incredible decisions.
After being groomed by Hugh Dallas he was put in charge of his first Glasgow Derby in 2010 and obliged by awarding a penalty while his back was turned to play.
At the start of 2023 he denied Celtic a penalty at Ibrox as VAR reviewed a shot from Carl Starfelt that Connor Goldson used both hands to block. Earlier Fashion Sakala was given a penalty for a dive, celebrated by the forward turning to cheer through his ‘injury’ with supporters in the Copland Road Stand.
Was more tempered at the time of the incident with exactly the same footage everyone else seen from all the angles at the time.

Last Saturday the panel on SSB weren’t convinced by the appeal for a penalty, friend of the SFA and Scoreboard host Gordon Duncan was very laid back as he watched the replays.
As a commercial outlet Radio Clyde thrives off controversy, the greater the better in terms of audience and listeners but led by Duncan the stance has softened greatly as they pander to the moon-howlers convinced that their Tribute Act has suffered the biggest miscarriage of justice in Scottish football history.
