SFA New Ticket System
Insert Amusing Pseudonym replied to betting competition's topic in Tartan Army Ramblings
The downside is if no-one wants to buy it. Then you're paying for a ticket you can only give away and aren't even getting the point for it. Clubs don't take LPs off fans if they can't make a game. Take the point if you give me the money back, fine -
SFA New Ticket System
Insert Amusing Pseudonym replied to betting competition's topic in Tartan Army Ramblings
Hmmm. If you're selling someone a ST for games a year in advance, coupled with the fact groups will want to be sat together should you be taking the money off them then punishing them if they can't get along to a game. Maybe if there was a facility to re-sell the ticket then fine but this seems overly punitive. You're actively making an already over priced item with two duff friendlies to pad it out less attractive -
Worst striker partnerships

Mole and Tullberg takes some beating. Only one game, but it was enough. -
VAR?
Insert Amusing Pseudonym replied to KingswellsRed's topic in Scottish Premiership General Chatter
You're confusing the system of VAR, with the technology. The system involves multiple manual checks of subjective calls in the futile hope of eradicating errors in judgement. It slows down the game for a statistically negligible, and debatable, increase in accuracy. Though the offside tech used is inaccurate and there are not enough cameras for it to ever give all necessary angles -
VAR?
Insert Amusing Pseudonym replied to KingswellsRed's topic in Scottish Premiership General Chatter
I think those saying it is Scottish refs that are the problem should watch some of the shite decisions made in the money leagues. It's the system that's poor -
VAR?
Insert Amusing Pseudonym replied to KingswellsRed's topic in Scottish Premiership General Chatter
It's absolutely shite, but we're stuck with it. If i was going to suggest a change it'd be a 20 second limit on any check before referring the ref to a monitor then move on. If it's no blatantly wrong immediately, then its no what it was for -
Shame on Aberdeen, Hearts & Hibs
Insert Amusing Pseudonym replied to Ludo*1's topic in Scottish Premiership General Chatter
Surely the next Aberdeen manager -
I am looking forward to it. rangers for me are a better team than Celtic atm and on nearly as good a run as us, but they're not terrifying going forward and we can definitely cause them problems. We didn't really get to grips with them in midfield the last couple of games but Sima did a lot of the damage and I think you can play round Lundstram.

VAR in Scottish Football
Insert Amusing Pseudonym replied to Les Cabbage's topic in Scottish Premiership General Chatter
I don't know a single fan who likes it. The level of dislike varies certainly but I've genuinely met no-one irl who thinks it's worthwhile. Those are match going fans, the ones I've seen online defend it are largely tv viewers. -
VAR in Scottish Football
Insert Amusing Pseudonym replied to Les Cabbage's topic in Scottish Premiership General Chatter
Did i say they did? I don't see much on that list to disagree with tbh, but there's definitely things on that list that the refereeing teams have inarguably got wrong between them. The point of the panel, there isn't one and it undermines the refereees, but doesn't mean that they've not correctly identified clear errors -
VAR in Scottish Football
Insert Amusing Pseudonym replied to Les Cabbage's topic in Scottish Premiership General Chatter
The worat thing about this list of mistakes published, other than the fact it's clearly not definitive, is that these are obvious errors that our referees have had 2 or 3 attempts at and still fucked, which makes it worse than the position before VAR where they could only make an arse of it once. It's no for fans benefit and we should have resisted it much more strongly than we did. We're stuck with it now and will just have to hope it evolves to a position where we're not spending 20% of a game checking whether someone has inadvertently brushed a cross with their arm. -
Listen, people are entitled to their opinions but anyone who would take Brown, who has been absolutely shite for Scotland, over Shankland needs to grow up. Shankland is playing unbelievably well atm. Him not going would be a joke

Greenock Morton v Heart of Midlothian
Insert Amusing Pseudonym replied to Gmfc 23's topic in Domestic Cup Football
All i can take from this is St Mirren have a tinpot rivalry with Morton. -
Every time we've started them both we've been route 1 shite. The Ukraine playoff springs to mind. Edit: that's a bit unfair. We were very good against England with them both. Terrible against Croatia but we also beat Austria away and played well. When they've both played and we've gone route 1 it's been dismal.
