I had to give myself some time to check if I was dreaming, but it seems that Scottish football really has gone mad and is now the best in FIFAs rankings of leagues in the north beginning with S. Following up the national teams whopping of FrenchFrance, Glasgow’s finest and the mighty Aberdeen are all taking Europe by storm.

The Celtic game will however be remembered for that moment of comic genius from Dida, or Diddy as he now will be known. Even Chick Young tried to be funny about it. Celtic have of course taken immediate action and banned the fan for life, like he was going to come back and take a beating anyhow… but UEFA surely must do something and ban Dida for such nonsense. Clearly he was trying to cheat his way out of losing the game, hoping UEFA would award a win and ban Celtic or make them play behind closed doors. There really does need to be more done about these people who basically cheat, its PC form being simulation. The magic sponge has become so magic recently, healing people who have collapsed like they are under a heavy barrage of shells! Do Serie-A clubs have simulation training, maybe on a Friday afternoon when the British clubs are team building down the local?

Interesting to note that there was no mention of that Cup Winners Cup victory against Real Madrid during the Aberdeen game. Such a relief! Usually it takes 3 minutes before there is a reference to 66 or Jonny when watching a nation play in white… very refreshing!

So, well done the Jocks. National team success goes hand in hand with having home grown players playing in the champions league… Hibs must be gutted! If they kept all the talent they have had to sell over the last few years they would have some team…
