rorcos Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 I've heard that Aberdeen players have been bumping their gums along with Tango Man, but why has that Tw@t Miller not been asked the simple question........"Did that honest young Lithuanian laddie stick the head on you?" Why doesn't a media / journo type ask that simple question! Because they know what the answer is...... we can all see it in super slow mo. No-one wants the truth to be out because all it does is open a massive can of worms.... 1 Is the SFA impartial 2 Is the SFA transparent 3 Does the SFA have an agenda 4 Are refs impartial 5 Are Refs transparent 6 Do Refs have an agenda We are Hearts and no-one likes us because we dare to ask the questions of our refs and governing body......Does anyone dare to ask Miller the question?

Midloth_Iain Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 Calderwood is happy to have his say about Zaliukas' "book him" antics but is especially quiet when Miller succeeds in getting M.Z. sent off. The exact same way he was very quiet when Zander thug Diamond tried to get Miko sent off last season despite the fact he was nearly halfed in two. Hypocritical tosspot.

Jambocam Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 Forget the SFA they will hide behind their regulations and only act when pressured by the media. Where is the criticism of Miller in the media? After all there is "no place in Scottish football" for any sort of cheating and this surely includes feigning an attack.

Do you honestly think if it was the other way round and Miller had seen red that the union wouldn't be involved by now. Zal could now lose three game worth of bonus win money.

Sheriff Fatman Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 Is Zaliukas a member of the Association that FW represents ? If so, has Zaliukas asked him to get involved ? Wishart is quite eager to get involved suspiciously quickly (I'm suprised he hasn't got friction burns from breaking the speed of light in his rush to a journalist) when it is against Hearts, I can't remember him once getting involved when it is Hearts player against someone else. Unions don't need their members to ask them to get involved if it is obvious their interests are being abused. In many cases the member do ask for help, but that is usually in official negotiations and enquiries, they certainly don't need to be asked in order to make a general statement to the press about an obvious injustice.

You are talking about situations involving official investigations, inquiries and negotiations. In those cases, yes the member does have to ask for help. In the case of Wishart getting off his arse and releasing a press statement in general support of one of his members, then there is absolutely no need for support, and Whishart has been shown to be beyond eager to do so in the past.
