The Referees a Tanker
by Michael Berthon
Looking at the best (and worst) of the Scottish and English top flight leagues. We look back on the past weeks results and make a mockery of ourselves by trying to give some sort of clues as to what might happen in the up and coming games. We discuss some of the biggest talking points as well as looking for our “performance of the week”. We are a group of guys who all went to school together, many moons ago, and love the game of football!
