  1. Hand close to body at the point of contact or not, it's a handball. There's no reason for him to turn his back on the ball, as soon as he makes the decision to pirouette he has made the choice to move his arm in to the path of the ball. It's a handball, it's a penalty. Bobby Madden can piss off.
  2. He suits their whole brand of delusional, apparently hard done by, dislikeable wanks.
  3. Our centre backs were pretty much faultless. Miovski's stats were terrible. Ball on the deck, he only managed 15 touches of the ball during the game. Aerially he won 0% of balls that he challenged for. He would literally have been as well not playing. For one of the best strikers in the league, he was absolutely nullified. Hats off to the defence.
  4. How does that work for FFP for clubs that are spending 100%?
  5. The hold up at our end is almost certainly the editing of some sort of spectacular Twitter announcement. I'd take it as good as official at this stage.
  6. If the trade off is that we're going to maybe have to use Davies or Murray at wing back if absolutely required at some point over the next two games v Motherwell and Livingston. Let's just applaud the board for what they've done here, we can cope at the back barring absolute disaster.
  7. Phyllis actually specifically said it wasn't a record fee at one of the fan meetings around the time of the transfer. She was asked if it was a record fee and then she asked "What is the current record fee?", someone informed her of the Naismith figure that she obviously wasn't aware of and she confirmed that it wasn't a record fee.
  8. Glad we didn't think like this when we loaned in Mayo.
  9. Right enough, wow. You can understand the confusion over VAR when they were very clear on "Yellow cards will not be reviewed", only to then review yellow cards.
  10. Possibly just the way I've interpreted the rules but I can't think of seeing that, I'm not arguing that could be the case though. The sensible thing for the referee to do in this situation is to give the straight red and at least give yourself the opportunity to go to the monitor for the review.
  11. The ref cocked it up as far as I'm concerned. VAR can't intervene because it would be a review of a yellow card and VAR can't review a yellow card. VAR is only there for goal reviews, straight red cards, penalty incidents, offside and wrong Identity issues. If Beaton had done the right thing and issued a straight red to the goalkeeper then if VAR advise otherwise then he has the opportunity to reduce it to a yellow. If he had even just gave the free kick then VAR can look at it as a possible red card. If the ref gives the yellow there's nothing VAR can do within the rules as they are to re-ref the decision. So VAR is unfortunately pretty much irrelevant here. I'm struggling with anyone who doesn't see this as a goalscoring opportunity but everyone is entitled to their opinion on it I suppose. Would Vassell have an opportunity to score if the goalie doesn't take him out of play? Yes. Would Watkins have an opportunity to score if he squares it? Yes. Red card all day for me.
  12. I'd go B but also liked A. The last 4 kits have been fairly average then you get two great kits up against each other.
  13. Side by side it's a no contest.
  14. Surprised at that being so tight. Thought B would walk that one pretty easily. Just shows you, had no idea that navy TFG kit was popular. I wasn't a fan of many TFG kits, on the yellow one I hated the blue badge. No idea why they didn't make it navy like the rest of the kit. It looked like they ordered a ton of badges for the home kit and just used the same ones to sew onto the away kit, that may well have been the case during that era.
  15. The white Hummel kit is an all timer for me too, but it's probably a bit of a stretch to release it as a retro kit.
  16. Either yellow AT Mays or yellow Sports Division with the navy panels at the sides.
  17. No worries. I'm as frustrated after today as everyone else.
  18. Jesus man. It was a light hearted comment about VAR not being able to do anything after the referees whistle has went. The joke didn't land with you, but I didn't think you could legitimately just boot someone in the knackers without punishment between whistles. 😂
  19. Sportscene have done a still on exactly when he raises the whistle to his mouth if you want to take a look and revise your opinion that would be cool.
  20. Hang on, did you think I was actually suggesting we kick a guy in the bollocks to make a point? I'm more than aware of the rules regarding kicking someone in the bollocks.
  21. So essentially to go back to the start, when everyone was saying he should have let the goal happen and review it, and you made up the "he clearly blew the whistle before Findlay headed it" stuff... What you actually meant was "Yes, I agree"?
