It's not funny... in fact, I believe the goalpost retired shortly afterwards, and due to his experiences, now identifies as a lamppost. Scottish football eh? In summary, it became a Gordon Petric.

But it's a complete joke that all our refs come from the west coast - there is definitely an argument for sourcing officials from down south or further afield... I agree, we need better representation across the board for scottish refs, some from the east, north, south and west of the country. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tokyowalnut Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 Probably a daft question, but I’ve not seen it reported anywhere. If this was being pulled by the compliance officer, would it normally happen the immediate week following the incident, as per Porteous? Or, is the compliance officer off to Lego Land for the October break and we will see the throat grabbing and Aribo incidents brought up next week?

Doc Rob Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 Various people saying that the tackle was worse, and that the throat incident was ‘handbags’ and laughed off, and nobody was hurt. Both are arguably true, but entirely beside the point. It doesn’t matter in the slightest that nobody was hurt. Nobody is actually badly hurt in the vast majority of on-field incidents. But if you raise your hands to another player, it’s a straight red card in any league in the world. This isn’t ambiguous, as opposed to a tackle, which can always be argued over.

There's never anybody big enough on the outside looking in at Scottish football. Nearest was Traynor when he had nothing left trying his one man crusade to save Rangers and started proclaiming the whole thing has been a sham for ever once he knew it was dead. Shows you how quickly folk can turn when they are out the inner circle. You have to grudgingly admire how tight Scottish football operates.

Everyone that matters to them has a stake in the status quo. As I said, Traynor's efforts were in vain and being Traynor his final attack was on the average fan by suddenly admitting, rightly, the whole set up was/is really just some form of show business/sham.

I agree that’s the problem, the way it’s run is backed by media and they don’t want anything other than Glasgow dominance for ever more. The fact the old firm thrive without any criticism in the ‘woke’ age with barely a murmer from the press is testament to that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know what I said that for! There really is a psychotic need for football to be dominated by Glasgow and Hearts esp get it tight. You saw the state some folk got in when a semi final went to Murrayfield!! Best thing to do is just enjoy the Hearts existence and know what they're up against.

Riccarton3 Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 (edited) The Rangers player that should have been binned vs Hibs (lunge, two feet off ground, no control (no matter what anyone thinks) scored against Hearts when he should have been in the stand if I'm right in saying the Hearts game followed the Hibs one.

Despite the numerous other advantages they enjoy, the thought of playing a match 50 miles from home had them whining and stamping their feet like unruly toddlers. Pathetic.

Doc Rob Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 I did laugh when the SFA tried to pretend that they would move Scotland matches to Murrayfield in an attempt to make Queen’s Park sell Hampden on the cheap. The Pope would turn up to work in a Sevco strip before the SFA would let that happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I meant to reply to you ages ago and been thinking about it for a couple of days now, so I'm going to bump this thread and do it - apologies Enjoying it so far, the accent is... well, I would say atrocious, but I lived in Dundee for the best part of 10 years. Although I very much am missing my fehvs, kens, and ehs. Been having a wee explore, unfortunately at the minute I live a few minutes away from Lurgan. Don't know anything about it other than Neil Lennon is from there, which I can't help but think about every time I nip to Tesco or go to pick up food New house will be ready at the start of next month, so I get to go through all the joys of moving again fairly soon, but at least I'll be on the outskirts of Belfast which makes nipping into the city a lot easier. Itching to get to a game at Tynecastle though!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
