    Why is it a club the size of Hibs can’t  have e ticketing for away fans or a pay on the day option, depending on the opposition ?

    It looks like they have the same arrangement in place as they had with Morton:

    Send tickets through.

    You have to go to ground midweek to buy them ( not handy if you are working, live somewhere else or both)

    If you live out of town, try to arrange to pick ticket up with the SLO at the math

    This is scuppered if you phone and the unsold tickets have already been sent back 

    No e-ticketing .

    Why are Hibs making it so difficult?

     

    Totally. I didn't get to Rugby Park in time to go to the ticket office before the Motherwell game last weekend so I'm on to plums.

    I live in Leith and will have to watch it on Killie TV. Bonkers.

    Well you've passed the intelligence test.

    For what it's worth I know a number of folk who were brought up Old Firm fans then came off age and realised all the pish surrounding them and switched allegiance. When Greenock fucking Morton is the more moral choice then it says a lot.

    I managed to grow up just down the road in Troon with a Celtic supporting father and end up a season ticket holder at Rugby Park.

    It's not particularly unusual for that to happen... but then again, my old man was from the East end of Glasgow so perhaps glory hunting just runs in the family.

    We should maybe all break away to a European Not-So-Superleague. 

    You jest obviously, but you've touched on the big risk with the smaller clubs demanding a bigger slice of the pie - breakaway competitions.

    If there's to be a more equitable carve up, then the fans of Rangers, Celtic, Liverpool, Real Madrid etc. need to be on board as they're the only ones who could stop the big club owners from simply taking their teams, and their financial value, away.

    Any solution needs to have the fans of all teams on board.

  4. The solution needs to be broader than just Scotland in my opinion - UEFA need to start redirecting a much larger share of European football money to the teams that prop up the big boys.

    It's not the 40 Scottish diddies that need to get together and demand a more equitable distribution of wealth, it's the hundreds of clubs across Europe who now find themselves looking up at teams with a similar budgetary advantage over them as we see here between provincial clubs and the old firm.

    For us to do this at a national level would only serve to damage the old firm's opportunities in Europe and therefore it would never be accepted.

    It's not just Scottish football that needs fixing nowadays though.

    I see the wee Motherwell neds decided to pan in the Clansmans windows on the way back to the train station.

    Well done to all the wee hero's involved !! 👏 

    Probably those wee neds that forced their way into the lower section of the stand. An uglier bunch of wee fannies I've never seen - are the good upstanding Motherwell fans not embarrassed by the antics of these bams?

    From the DOGSO section of the lawbook...

     

    The following must be considered:

    • distance between the offence and the goal
    • general direction of the play
    • likelihood of keeping or gaining control of the ball
    • location and number of defenders

    I think that supports my view that 'if he just skins a player and runs 60 yards, he's through on goal' is not an adequate justification for a red.

    Not wrong.. If Boyle knocks the ball by the last defender no one is catching him that's a goal scoring opportunity = RED ALL DAY 

    Defender knew what he was doing... End Of Debate matter closed 

    Don't think the rule allows for the 'if this, then that' thinking though, does it.

    Yellow all day long.
