If the Judicial Panel think the appeal is "frivolous" (in other words, designed to allow him to play on Saturday) he'll get an extra game.

I do think what is dissapointing now through these United v celtic games is the bad atmosphere that has developed between the two clubs now.
The more poor results we get the more the moans seem to be coming in.
In case McNamara forgets it's no wins in 7 now, people will say fourth is ok but is it really, but clubs with smaller resources than United, ie inverness don't moan like we do and seem to do fine
If we don't get into Europe McNamara will be gone

In real time in the ground I thought the attacker knocked it too far by the keeper so it wasn't a goalscoring opportunity and a yellow was the right decision.
Will need to watch the highlights.

It is extending to the clubs supports as well. United fans were taking songs out of the The Rangers songbook last night.
The Utd fans were already singing those songs at the cup final. I suppose Celtic fans will just need to shout a bit louder about the IRA.

Any idea what Dundee will do if McGowan gets the jail?
Will they stand by him or sack him?

No idea. I think it might depend on the sentence.
The maximum is 12 months with potentially 25% off for an early guilty plea and out in half for good behaviour (so 4.5 months). So he could be out in time for the start of next season.
I'm not sure where I stand, to be honest. From a purely footballing perspective, he's a very good player and there's a risk that if he's let go he'll just sign for one of our rivals once he's out.

Forget about a goal scoring opportunity, if that had been a defender making that tackle he would have been off. It was an atrocious tackle and deserved a red even if it had been at the corner flag.
Well done to the 'WEE VER' its looking good now for the tittle

Never realised that 12 months was the maximum he could be sentenced to. I thought it could have been way more than that for police assault.

It was done on summary which limits the sentence to 12 months or a £10,000 fine.
I'm guessing the Crown Office didn't envisage a sentence greater than that or they'd have prosecuted under solemn procedure.

That'll be why all that anyone from United has done in the last 2 weeks is whinge like hell in the media.

I don't expect it to be any better tomorrow. I do think the signings of gms and armstrong has contributed to the bad blood between the teams, however that was Thompson who decided to take the money.
In case McNamara forgets we haven't beaten anymore since stranraer, have been pretty dreadful in most games, poor quality replacement signings. McGowan, Dixon etc

Well that he isn't !
Indeed I ageee with these that think Tom English is just about the best football pundit on Radio Scotland ( admittedy not enormous competition ) and certainly much more worth listening to than most.

Tom English used to be a respected journalist when he just wrote for the broadsheets.
Since he joined BBC Scotland he's been more Hugh Keevins than Hugh McIlvanney.
Motherwell playing pretty well here, fancy them to finish second bottom.
No given that hibs would beat motherwell over two games.
Could have the likes of hibs, Rangers and St mirren in the championship next season, which would mean not a certainty that Rangers would come up next season either

Hopefully be stuck down there for years.
Hardly the best start to Martin Canning's managerial career. Just as well they racked up a lot of points under Alex Neil.

Agree, incredible that we still have to play them once more after the split. That will be 7 times this season.

I heard that the Championship is the only show in town, especially with Rangers in it, so I would look forward to St Mirren joining the fray - NOT !
