Do you believe Celtic or the BBC?
Save 6 Music, Kill the BBC
In our opinion, the BBC have already acted like pains in the backside this week by deciding to ditch 6 Music.
They continue to employ idiots like Chris Moyles and Vernon Kaye but they are cutting a quality music station from their output. So much for having a public duty to provide services that other channels or stations do not provide.
And we haven’t got started on Sportscene or Pat Nevin…oh Pat Nevin, just wait until we get started on him!
However, the BBC have kicked off another strange situation in the SPL today.
A BBC source believed it was Celtic who requested that Falkirk’s pitch be inspected by independent expert. This has led to angry remarks from chief wookie…err Falkirk boss, Steven Pressley.
“Our groundsman was voted third best in the UK last year and I’ve seen that man working until midnight on that pitch”
“It infuriates me that they question the standard of our pitch.”
We are a bit more concerned about what Steven Pressley is doing hanging about the Falkirk Stadium and observing men at work until midnight but a manager has a duty to stick up for his staff.
It just seems a bit of a shame that his anger appears to be directed at the wrong people.
The Celtic website had this to say:
Further to erroneous reports in today’s press, Celtic Football Club can confirm that it did not make any official complaint about the Falkirk pitch and did not ask for any pitch investigation or inspection.
This is supported by a Scottish Premier League statement which reads: “We keep an eye on all our pitches and monitor them over the course of the season through our delegate reports.
“The weather has had an impact on pitches up and down the country, but as things stand all our games are good to go for this weekend.”
So, someone is not telling the truth.the fact that Celtic have brought out a third party statement would perhaps indicate that they are in the right.
In the overall scheme of things, it doesn’t matter too much who instigated it but it has given some parties the opportunity to have a pop at Celtic. And surely this week, there has been ample opportunity to speak out against Celtic if they so desired.
And….wouldn’t you still rather have some hope that the BBC could be the bastion of virtue and stick to the truth as opposed to sinking to the levels of the more base commercial channels?
Anyways, if the pitch is in a bad condition, it may prevent Falkirk from taking further points from Celtic this season!

Celtic said there was no official complaint. Falkirks chairman said he got a call from an SPL rep who told him there had been an unofficial complaint about their pitch.
Celtic lie again.
Oh well case closed with that conclusive proof.

I’m confused, some might say permanently right enough!!
No these reports first surfaced this morning and were in all the daily papers, it’s came from somewhere, perhaps the same clandestine operator that questioned the decisions that have gone against Celtic in the League this season??
What I would say is that Celtic, it’s management and Directors need to start drawing a line under this nonsense before it spills onto the streets or worse still someone attacks a referee. It’s all getting a bit too extreme and continually pandering to the lowest common denominator is doing no-one any favours.
What was that rather classy end of season T-Shirt Celtic displayed a few season ago
No Excuses
its the mysterious man in the closet yet again. everyone is against us [ i heard it was the ref for sunday sneaked in with a pitch fork to really get it right up them ] ha ha i love it . cmon the GERS
The only time pitchforks are seen in Falkirk is when the locals carry them alongside the burning torches to chase out non-local folk.
ffs darren odea is in the paper about the refs this morning ,you would think you would need so much time on the park to qualify an opinion , theres only so much you can moan eh . worse than my first f…….g wife .
Darren probably got a good view from the bench or stands from most games. A paper should ask Paddy McCourts opinion, he gets to see most of the games.
Having actually read the O’Dea interview – he comes across as being sympathetic to the refs and looking to improve things for everyone.
Still, what you take from it all depends on your viewpoint I suppose.
Jazrfc that is what happens when you marry your sister .
ive no got a sister but your uncles yer dad
When the media say a souce told them this its generally just a bullshit story its a well known fact that the media tell lies dont buy the rags.
