Not to start a political thread 😜
Just wanted to share this.
"Hampden has hosted the Champions League final – I went to that with my dad. Massimo Busacca was the referee.
“That’s what I remember about it. He’s now one of the heads of FIFA refereeing.”
He doesn't remember the Zidane goal. He remembers the referee.
Bet he's fun at parties.

Can picture him in the stand shouting "penalty to Rangers" every time the ref blew his whistle.

His heroine ,Thatcher the Milk Snatcher ,attended the 1988 Scottish Cup Final at Hampden.
Celtic v Dundee United.
As she took her seat beside the suits and bodyguards, thousands of red cards. were raised around the ground by both sets of fans who gave a rousing renditition of a traditional Maggie welcome of the time;
" You can stick your e**in poll tax up yer er*e"
FAO Douglas.
George Smith was the referee. and Celtic won 2-1.

I'm still genuinely baffled as to how he gave offside for our "goal" at Elgin. Mind you how the SFA could appoint the MP for the constituency to run the line for the game is also beyond belief. Still, just to prove it wasn't a fluke, the lino at the St M game soon after came up with another shocker!

My colleague is a steam train fan, he remembers some stinking locomotive he saw 20 years ago. It’s his passion.
Neither are a surprise.

He remembers Busacca being the referee, at the Champions League Final. When as others have pointed out he was the fourth official. Busacca was the referee at the 2007 UEFA Cup Final played at Hampden. This was 5 years after the game he supposedly remembers well..........stupid boy.

If the guy in opposition can in anyway assist in supporting a UK wide hosted World Cup (independent nation or otherwise) then this is surely a good thing that would be welcomed all across the political spectrum.

I don't think I can contribute here without it being in the holy ground or getting a warning for my language
Zidane's goal was a belter though. Up there as the second most iconic goal at that stadium.

I can just remember him in some video for the tories where various politicians were being asked “What would you do if you were PM for the day?” And all he could reply was something along the lines of “Ehmm more restrictions on Gypsy travellers”

Mike Oxmells also thinks Hampden could host the World Cup Final if a joint UK and Ireland bit is successful. He really does have his flag and his head up his erchie to think
A) the UK stands a snowballs or
B) Wembley was overlooked for the tip that is Hampden
