ladyjambo76 Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 I watched that game and I believe that Utd were robbed! Craig only said what the rest of us were thinking!! Good on him I say, shame he got fined though for stating the obvious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cigaro Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Hope he tells them to **** right off. I'd like to think he will. His comments were measured and not a sputr of the moment thing. He knows he's right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToadKiller Dog Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Not a shock did not expect anything else ,hope he appeals ,but i think Dundee united have lost some of the good will they got from taking the stand they did take,by being the first to bend over to the old firm 5% shame.

Still strongly believe they muppets have been out to get CL ever since he refused to pay his fine when with us. He just made it a bit easier for them.

davieholt Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Tell them they can whistle for it Craig. If the SFA try to up the ante by threatening your capacity to coach then go to law. It's high time football was subject to the same legal framework as all other businesses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paws (FTH) Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Scandalous! Day light robbery. The only profession where incompetence is rewarded if anyone dares mention it. The SFA are a fn joke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiamWallace Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 no surprise he got fined but its the ref what should have got the fine cos that was the clearest cheating i have seen in a football game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Therapist Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 How ironic. After bottling standing up to the OF re the ticket surcharge, I really don't think Dungdeh Hibernians can criticise anyone else for bottling. They got their come uppance - just a shame it wasn't a bigger fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JP1874 Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 How can he get fined for bringing the game into disripute (sp). The ref admitted afterwards he made the mistakes!! He admitted he got it wrong! CL was correct in his comments. Those idiot refs wanna a pay rise aswell wot a bloody cheek. i know it's the SFA that brought the fine about but just shows how bad our officals at ALL levels actaully are. Tell them to ram it & see wot happens if he doesn't give them it for stating FACTS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell them to ram it & see wot happens if he doesn't give them it for stating FACTS! the line the sfa will trot out is that levein said mccurry had "bottled it", implying mccurry knew that it was a penalty, but didnt give it as he was scared of what would happen if he did. abolute farcical. this demonstrates why the men in black (or fluorescent yellow) should never EVER get this pay rise -they're amatuers!!

hawaii Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Yet more comic timing from the SFA. Refs want more money and on the same day that story hits the national news they fine Levein ?5k for saying what everyone in Scotland thinks happens to refs when the OF are playing.

asomerville Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/d/dundee_utd/7543710.stm McCurry should pay the fine as he admited he had ****ed up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
best in the land Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 no surprise with the fine, the gfa will need the money to give the refs their pay rise. feel less sorry for the arabs though, with them bending over to the OF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigman Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Boogie on Forth One this morning, Why refs should get the pay rise they are asking for; 1. The cost of petrol going up costing them more to drive to games. 2. The cost of living ie fuel bills up by 35% 3. They really need the money to pay for the increase in Lodge Fees! Brilliant!!!

Wattie Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Glad to see Levein is standing by his comments made - proving that tey were not blasted in the heat of the moment, but that he genuinely believes what he says. I'm sure most of us will agree with him aswell. Stand firm Craigy, don't let them get away with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 I this not wht Vlad has been saying since he arrived, but he gets shot down in flames.......yes he says it in a different way, but he is from a country that culturally deals with these issues in a different way.

Ben Dover Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 ?5,000 is small beer really The SFA have either had a word with DUFC on the QT ( ) or simply fined them the minimum 'realistic' figure that allows them to show the outside world that they have taken 'stern' action..............whilst stopping WELL short of imposing a fine ( a throw the book at them size of fine ) where United feel they would have no choice to take it further ? Total squib IMO We all thought this might be a 'Franz Ferdinand' type defining moment in the game ............but it's turned out to be more francy and josie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest juvehearts Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 I'd refuse to pay the fine & take it even futher with the GFA utter joke & he really stuck the knife in to mr peat for his comments. when are this sham FA going to get what the deserve?

I think he is going to pay the fine and move on ,if his comments on the telly are to be seen as true.He said he was happy with the way the hearing went he got to say his bit and did not get a ban.So if we are looking for a champion to stand up to the GFA it aint Craig this time ,anyways he could be at castle numbskull this time next year the way the huns are going.

Coco Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 Levein should have had some evidence to back up his wild claims. Good to see that as he didn't have any evidence, he has taken a financial penalty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure most of us will agree with him aswell. Stand firm Craigy, don't let them get away with it. Going on what CL said at half time during the Rangers game last night, is seems like he IS passing it off as a "heat of the moment" affair..... He had a chance to stand up to them and he's bottled it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
