I also think it was meant to happen the season before but we pissed on their fireworks. Look what happened to us away to Chelsea when it looked as if we were getting a bit too far ahead. I'm totally convinced that was what it was all about.
I agree in a way but there is still the realistic possibility that they'll still prop up the Rags if things aren't going to plan. Taggart will be wheeled out for the cameras, proclaiming that they aren't getting the rub of the green with decisions if they've lost a game. He'll still harrass the ref's and lino's and if that doesn't work he'll be on to his Rag sympathisers who are now at the top of all the main organisations that run the game; fuck, he's even got one in at the top of UEFA now, they'll definately be getting further in the CL this year.
I'm totally in agreement with the 'Taggart Farewell' statement mate and have mentioned it on a number of occasions. We were dragged back that season to the point where many of our top fella's had to bring their thoughts out in public. Some of the decisions were quite farcical with the likes of Derry getting sent off after Young dived outside the box. Fuck sake, they even gave them a penalty. And the Fulham game, the Cottagers down 1-0 and there's a clear penalty as Murphy is taken out from behind in the box yet the ref said it was a fair challenge. You really could not make that shit up and was the point where I completely lost it and kicked the shit out of my room.
We'll see though, if it's going to continue it won't take long before the obvious ones come out for all to see but never brought to light. Just like CamelGobs attack on puppy dog Torres last season or Evra's clear elbow in Micah's face the season before.
