More On The Dallas Dynasty
Yesterday morning, Hugh Dallas sought legal advice over the comments made in the Scottish media by Assistant Referee, Steven Craven.
Understanding the psyche of Dallas, if he had received a positive response from his barrister, he would surely have come down like a ton of bricks on the recently retired linesperson.
But he didn't.
He merely went for the impotent denial of harassment despite the alleged fact that an SFA employee was in the room throughout the phone conversation between Dallas and Craven.
The allegations of harassment, bullying and applying pressure on Craven to alter his view of reality remain at the feet of Dallas.
For the uninitiated, Dallas allegedly leant on Craven to "take the flak" instead of referee Dougie McDonald over the Celtic penalty-that-never-was (honestly) against the Tangerine Arabs.
Dallas: "Unfortunately, these allegations have given rise to the suggestion that I was involved in some sort of cover-up: nothing could be further from the truth."
Sue then, sir!
Dallas added: "I am dismayed and saddened that the reputation I have built up over 30 years in refereeing could be besmirched by such unfounded allegations."
And what reputation would that be, Hugh?
Inevitably the SFA offered Dallas "unequivocal support" which is as inevitable as anything ever could be north of Hadrian's Wall.
The SFA also described Hugh as "helpful and honest"...
...honestly, this is not intended as a joke.
Meanwhile, Dougie McDonald sought to set the record straight from a different angle...
McDonald told BBC Scotland: "There was no big cover-up. I was just trying to help out my colleague and protect him a little. It was a white lie in the heat of the moment. It was not a pre-meditated act.
"It was a mistake, I regret it hugely, but there's not a person on this earth who hasn't told a lie for what they think are the right reasons.
"I'm sure every adult in the country will tell their kids in a few weeks that a man in a red suit is going to come down their chimney.
"That's a lie but it's for the right reasons and that's what I thought I was doing. I regret it now."
Okidoke.
You heard it here first.
Scottish football isn't fixed because Santa Claus doesn't exist.
Only in Scotland could this logic exist.
Footie Is Fixed #1!
Okay, so...
Having been inundated with emails over the last two posts (detailing corruptions at the Celtic/Rangers clash and the Newcastle/Sunderland unclash), we are far too busy to reply to all the correspondence received.
We analyse the corruptions in the "sport" of football and trade that knowledge on the Asian markets.
Since the start of the season, we have achieved 95% winners on over 100 matches (excluding breakeven events) - an all-time high performance level from our team.
If footie wasn't fixed, how on earth would we be able to achieve such returns?
Perhaps it is all those conversations we have with Father Christmas that makes us so slick.
"And what would you like for xmas, son?"
"A dodgy penalty, an even dodgier sending off and, if West Brom are still likely to beat the Seasiders, could we possibly have another sending off as well?"
"Your wish is my command".
Footie Is Fixed #2
And, anyway, girls and boys.
If Footie wasn't Fixed, why would we have been offered a Consultancy contract by a Premier League team?
'Nuff said, for now.
