It's actually spelt crivens, but I like to be a tad 'urban' with my spelling on occassion. Innit.
You're right though: it is a Scots word & it's used as an exclamation of surprise (like when the FA actually do something decent for a change). My old Mum's side of the family came from Dundee & just north of the city, so I reckon you could be onto something with regard to the term's specific geographical origin.
...are they completely stupid,... if they new anything about this club, the type of fans we are, the type of community we have, then they wouldn't be spouting this garbage, the booing was for the sending off, not the injury.

It wasn't a bad decision, it was just the wrong one, it happened so quickly and without the benefit of a replay it was a tough one to call. If Calde had his leg broken we would have expected Bryon to get a red card.
Malone would have been sympathetic in his post match report and the FA would have acted accordingly. Good on the ref for supporting the appeal I say.
What an absolute load of bull. The Referee was using the rubbish new rule on challenges that are deemed to be dangerous as there's a possibilty they could to cause injury to an opponent: but he was basing it on the resulting broken leg & not the challenge by both players. He got it totally WRONG - so by definition it was a bad decision. Thankfully, he must have realised the error of his ways afterwards. Had Calde been unfortunate enough to be seriously injured and not the County lad, I hope to God that most of our supporters would be sensible enough to recognise that it was an honest 50:50 & nobody deserved a card of any colour. That said, there's always some folk in every crowd that would be baying for 'justice' - regardless of whether they'd seen the incident or not. No doubt a number of ours would be much the same.
I don't know what you are trying to say, but the Malone wasn't a villain in this, and he supported the appeal.

I haven't seen anything that says he supported the appeal. Refs can look at video before the leave the stadium, but we had to appeal to the FA.

Of course he was the bleedin' villain! HE was responsible for waving a red card at Calde when he hadn't commited a foul!!

My dear old mum deffo pronounced it with an e Notters was prob right thinking the anglicised 'crivins' sounded a bit jolly hockey sticks E. Blyton Ma's dad worked in the jute mills of Dundee, and was fond of a dram
Oh no he isn't
Oh yeah I forgot, it's panto. Booooooooo
That Peterborough supporting twit on Talk Sport was talking about how pleased he was that Newport won. And he specifically made reference to the Calde tackle as disgusting. Oddly this was after Edinburgh was on the same station saying that having seen the tackle again they did not think it was a red.
I hope that radio bully now has the balls to apologise to Calde - a nicer man you'd struggle to find in football.
To be fair, it may as well be.

Oh no it shouldn't!
