Worst striker partnerships
Insert Amusing Pseudonym replied to Sortmeout's topic in Scottish Premiership General Chatter
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.

You're no kidding about them being small, i was expecting Willy Wonka to be in the dugout

Thought we played well though ww did look unusually vulnerable defensively. Nowt bringing big Frankie back won't sort. Lots of good performancrs but Nieuwenhof was outstanding Airdrie play some neat stuff but it was a bit naive trying to outplay us. I expect Morton will be a lot more direct and physical so probably more of a battle there. We should still beat them right enough.

Nations League Draw (Thursday 5pm)
Insert Amusing Pseudonym replied to Pie Of The Month's topic in Tartan Army Ramblings
Can't really ask for a much better draw than that. Croatia have a habit of bouncing back when they look on the way down but they were really poor in qualifying and they've surely got a transitional phase coming up. Portugal have some brilliant players, but they are quite flaky at times so you might catch them on an off night. Will be gutted if we finish below Poland,they looked dire in qualifying -
Hibs v Celtic
Insert Amusing Pseudonym replied to Lyle Lanley's topic in Scottish Premiership General Chatter
Robert Snodgrass got sent off against Wales for catching a boy trying to block a cross he got away.
