Not from me.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
But from the media.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
A convincing 3-0 win away from home and an all round excellent performance was largely put down by the media as coming about because Dundee United were poor.\u00a0 They allowed Celtic to play football, no one even suggested that the intensity and pace of Celtic’s play meant that dundee united couldn’t even manage to kick people.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Although to their credit one of their subs, Calum The Butcher,\u00a0 managed a potential leg breaker on David Turnbull , leaving Kris Boyd to sum up Scottish football in an unconscious but entirely accurate way..<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a red card all day long. There\u2019s no doubt about it. He\u2019s high, it\u2019s at speed and he\u2019s in endangering the safety of his opponent.<\/em><\/p>\n “David Turnbull was lucky to get away with it. It\u2019s a red card all day. I know I said it the other night but the sooner we get VAR in Scottish football the better because that\u2019s a red card.<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cDavid Turnbull is very lucky that he didn\u2019t get a really, really sore one.”\u00a0 \u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Couldn’t even bring himself to mention the name of the offender, but twice said that the victim was “lucky ” …..<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Lucky to get away with it…..presumably next time he’s hoping that luck runs out.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n What he , and everyone else should have said, was that there was no place for this kind of assault in football.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Is it any wonder that Scottish football fails to raise significant broadcast income when the game is sold as blood and snotters wen the teams who try to lift the standard are decribed as “lucky ” when they don’t end up on a stretcher ?<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n On BBC Radio Scotland when Tom Rogic scored a classic goal, beating four men before curling one into the cormer, one pundit asked why no one stopped him.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n I’m not suggesting they should have let him carry on, but should they not have been praising the entertaining play rather than criticising those who didn’t beat him to a pulp as he swept by ?<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n If I want to see people getting planted, I’ll join a taxi queue when the nightclubs are closing.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n sky sports couldn;t hide their admiration for a fantastic display of football, and some “magic from the wizard of Aus ”<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Calm doon chief pic.twitter.com\/xBMvoig68L<\/a><\/p>\n — Tam sellic son (@TamsellicsonIII) December 5, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
