Mark Burchill bagged by Livingston.
3 out 3 for The Sons.
Gaffer slayers
I could understand it if he was English, but this is a young Scottish manager who might go on to manage Scotland one day. A puzzling turn of events.



Roon ye, daftie....

Thanks for letting me comment - albeit with conditions attached.

As for "in context", it sounds somewhat akin to "whataboutery".

The truth is referees do their best and everybody makes mistakes.
When a fan of The Rangers posts about a decision Hibs got at the opposite end of the park from where they scored yet is silent about a penalty his team received when nobody in the ground saw an infringement apart from Gollum I think that is worth mentioning.

As I said before if Hibs hadn't scored 90 yards and 20 seconds later then BBG wouldn't have posted about it, had it happened at Alloa v St Mirren then BBG wouldn't have posted about it.

Wow. A fan's interested in a decision that affects his own team.

He denied that was the case though, said the fact he is a The Rangers fan was neither here nor there.

I apologise to him then.

Of course, he had every right to discuss the decision. Just as other people have every right to raise other decisions if they want.

So the referee followed the rules then?

How many drop balls are contested these days?
That is not the rule - it is not up to the referee to decide if a drop-ball is contested it is up to the players.

At least I try to discuss football on here rather than just slag the opposite side of the old firm.

I'm out then, you guys discuss, sorry take a pop at each other, as it seems to be all that is done on this thread. It's really quite tiresome

You're more interested in the Eurovision Song Contest thread anyway....

the noise is deafening about that. coming from wee franco & his cohorts !
You should have been pumped 5-1 at home off Motherwell. Hilarious you unveiled a statue and then got hammered and your £5 million quid centre back is shite.

I think some Celtic fans will be hoping you can draw them in the cup.
You were warned he was a dud many, many times. You grimly held on thinking he would be great like you all thought James Forrest would come good.

Still, least we will win the league and qualify for Europe. Rangers will blow the Championship and will need a play off to get up. You'd better hope you draw Dundee Utd.

Wee Franco makes a return to the thread and conveniently ignores that the team he supports were beaten at the weekend.

Quelle surprise.

You're a joke in Europe and winning the league is like saying you beat up a toddler. You better hope someone doesn't cross a t or dot an i when you draw the qualifiers because it's the only hope of you going through.

Motherwell had 4 shots on target yet you think they should have scored 5 goals on Saturday.

Zombienomics at work there.

You could hit the bar from one yard out and it would be off target and you could clear it from your own goal and it trickled to the goalkeeper and it would count as on target. You don't really understand football much.

Moult skied one for his hat trick that he should have scored and Mothwell missed other easy chances. Should have been 4 or 5 quite comfortably.

Hahaha.

Is it cold under that bridge Franco?

Still, it is good to know that your obsession with Celtic continues.

Taylor Blackett looks like he is going back to Man U. Can't exactly say that we'll miss him.

Hopefully Ciftci is next but nobody will be stupid enough to sign him.

He'd go back there and probably score 15 goals before the end of the season.

He just doesn't fit into our system.

He was a strange buy.

Think Delia wanted him but John Collins didn't. He's a dud and will end up on loan somewhere.

I don't think it was a signing that Deila and Collins wanted, I think it was decided for them he was being signed and it has backfired.


Aberdeen get out of jail with a last minute goal to claim a point, not seen or heard any of their game but coming back from 2 down is a good sign although being 2 down to begin with isn't so good.

Any sort of point when Collum is the ref is decent.

He gave a penalty for each team and supposedly denied us a stonewaller in injury time. From what I heard on the radio he was worse than usual which is saying something. We were on top for virtually the whole match but were forced into playing Quinn today and it was his 2 mistakes that cost the goals.

Having read the tweets from both sides yesterday and the comments after the Falkirk v The Rangers game last week we must be due another strike by football officials soon. Dougal and Clark will be dusted off and will be in the papers and on the radio defending officials and saying what a disgrace it is clubs are complaining about decisions. How Collum is seen as a good referee is completely beyond me.
