    I take it back. The ref is a Tim. Edouard kicked his leg into the goalie, that's never a penalty. 

    That's sort of what I saw.

    The goalkeeper did not illegally challenge the Celtic player.

    The Celtic player chose to leave his leg trailing so that it (his leg) hit the goalkeeper and he (the Celtic player) chose to go down.

    That, in my view, is not a free kick.

    Monsieur Le Juge ?

    In general, Canadian judges may be addressed directly, depending on the province, as "My Lord", "My Lady", "Your Honour" or "Justice" and are formally referred to in the third person as "The Honourable Mr. (or Madam) Justice 'Forename Surname'". Less formally, judges of a Superior Court are referred to as "Justice 'Surname'", not as "Judge 'Surname.'" When referred to in a decision of a court, judges' titles are often abbreviated to the suffix "J.", so that Justice Smith will be referred to as Smith J. Judges in some superior courts are addressed as "My Lord" or "My Lady".[12] In Ontario, judges are never referred to as "My Lord" or "My Lady," but only as "Your Honour" at the Ontario Superior Court of Justice.[13] Formerly, translations of these titles such as Votre Honneur ("your honour") or Votre Seigneurie ("your lordship") were used in French; today, only Monsieur le juge and Madame la juge are officially used. Both the titles "judge" and "justice" are translated juge.

    Generally, it is only appropriate to use the term "judge" when speaking of an anonymous or general position, such as "the trial judge," or when referring to a member of an inferior or provincial court such as the Ontario Court of Justice. The exception is Citizenship Judges who are referred to only as "Judge 'Surname.'" in accordance with their appointment as independent decision makers of the Citizenship Commission.

    Like other members of the Commonwealth, a justice of the peace is addressed as "Your Worship," and a Master of a Superior Court is both addressed and referred to as "Master."

     

    I'm watching it now.

    There's a jury selection process going on, presided over by a guy in robes.

    All Lawyers are referring to him as "Your Majesty".

    The courtroom can be an intimidating place especially for the uninitiated. Add to that the stress of being involved in trial proceedings, the rules of which are unfamiliar to many, and tongues can get tied.

    Judges tell stories of being referred to, usually by non-professionals, as "Your Majesty", "Dear", "Excellency", even "Your Holiness".

    I can understand that. But in this TV programme, at least three different lawyers referred to the High Heid Yin as "Your Majesty".

    End of Line of Duty was a bit convoluted for me and the interview scenes went on way, way to long. Smacked to me of them running out of ideas and just throwing a completely nonsensical plot line in to allow them to have another series.  They're starting to rip the arse out if it a bit.

    I'm rarely on here these days.

    I'm no saint, having had some warnings and even a ban a while ago.

    But some of the characters who infest this board just aren't worth the effort.

    There used to be the occasional warmer, and that made them easy to ignore.

    But these days it's hard to see the wood for the warmers.

    If we could get rid of the argumentative, foul-mouthed trolls, there are still enough decent posters on here to make visiting here worthwhile.

     

    (it takes a bit of maturity to accept that someone who holds a different view from you isn't your enemy - and we are all supposed to be Scotland fans after all).

    There are two petitions.

    One against the Council allowing the owners to sell the site to a development company and the demolition of all the properties on the (corner) site.

    The other against the Council granting planning permission for the construction of a hotel on the site.

    I think it's another one of those urban myths that get attributed to all different people and probably never actually happened at all.

    A bit like the guy at Celtic park who shouted "aw naw ers Annoni on anaw noo"  or the boy from your school who said he wanted his pizza cut into 4's because he couldn't eat 8.

    The Annoni story originated from Scots actor and Celtic season-ticket holder Alec Norton, who claimed it was a guy who sat two rows in front of him who shouted it.

    He (Alec - don't know about the other guy) is very good company socially and is a down-to-earth type, not prone to porkie-telling.
