A sad day for Ibrox as Bobby Madden heads South

One of Ibrox’ own sons, totally, Bobby Madden, has decided to quit Scottish football for good.

Of course we all know that Boaby was not a supporter of the Ibrox side and he was totally unbiased throughout his stellar career at the pinnacle of Scottish football.

I’m going to say it now – just so I don’t have to say I told you so when it happens – he won’t be gone long.

You know why?

Because, despite the fact he’s only going to be refereeing in League One and League Two, he will be found out very quickly in England.

If he even attempts to referee a game in the style of the Scottish Cup semi-final, where he gave John Lundstram licence to maim the Celtic midfield, he will be hammered by the refereeing officials in England.

That standard of refereeing is simply not tolerated down South and he’ll learn that pretty quickly.

My personal opinion is that he will not be good enough for the game down there and he’ll return to Scotland with his tail between his legs.

When that happens, he’ll be welcomed with open arms and before you know it, he’ll be back refereeing Celtic v R*****s (Sic) games.

I’m sure the Ibrox club will miss him desperately and you have to admit it’s an awful pity John Beaton didn’t follow suit.

Maybe once Madden settles in, he might invite him down to join him.

We can live in hope anyway.

I guess I’d better warn Forest Green Rovers and Plymouth Argyle that they won’t get a fair rub of the green if Madden is refereeing any games involving them.

It’s only because of the colour of your jersey guys, so don’t take it personally, but green is sort of like Madden’s kryptonite, so just be careful you don’t dazzle him too much with it.

Forest green’s jersey is very similar to our old Bumble bee kit, so that might have a
