If Heineken refreshes the parts that other beers cannot reach, the Hotline reaches the parts other forums cannot reach. I mean, where else will you get calls from Palm Beach, Florida and Vancouver, Canada, to talk about the wacky world of Scottish football? And there were plenty from the usual ports of calls as well, concentrating - surprise, surprise - on the Old Firm and that clash at Ibrox earlier in the month is STILL causing angst.
Scott Gowers, Edinburgh, said: “Handball wasn’t the only breach of the rules during the Old Firm game that went unpunished as many Celtic fans have been gloating about what one of their players said to Morelos. I’m not naming and shaming but calling someone fat is an ism and the player should be punished accordingly for bringing the game into disrepute. Isn’t it strange that rule breaches are acceptable when a Celtic player or team get away gets away with it? Just ask yourselves who used EBT and who weren’t punished. Us Rangers fans can go on the same bandwagon, ie. one rule for one another for another.
George Wilson, West Sussex, emailed: “I’m backing Jimmy Stangers comments about Bud Hay who is always on about going to the moon. I wish he would just go there then and take all his paranoid Celtic compatriots with him. This is a club that has had all sorts of benefits just handed to them on a plate in the last few years but they just never stop moaning that everyone and everything is against them. What with all the talk recently about favours for Rangers, pressure has been put on the referees and I will be surprised if Rangers don’t get a penalty awarded against them when they play Aberdeen on Sunday.”
