Should try and sign @LeodhasXD IMO. Cheers for that. Hard going doing commentary for our pre-season just now without many goals. My agent hasn't had any offers unbelievably. Thought I was a shoo-in for the Falkirk TV gig but they've never been good at identifying talent. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clangers Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 1 hour ago, DA Baracus said: Yup, that's right. In the previous friendlies he's either been listed as a trialist or had the word 'trialist' in brackets after his name. He has neither tonight. When he came on on Saturday they used his name, but last Tuesday I am sure they used trialist and definitely did against Cove, couldn’t hear for the St Pauli game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the St Pauli game the announcer said "Paul McGowan, playing as a trialist" which I thought was bizarre. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stadium announcer said trialist tonight. Though weirdly we had two trialists starting, I assume the other one was O'Halloran but missed the number. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't tend to announce trialists hence the secrecy but it was indicated on the teamline that he wasn't signed so it may be that the paperwork hasn't gone through yet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he's the only one who it would have made sense for it to be, e.g. maybe the paperwork hasn't been signed off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
101 Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 Why did the ref send him off and not just ask him to be subbed off, seems crazy to send someone off impacting on real games for what sounds like a mistake rather than malicious challenge. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CallumPar Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 Are referees now instructed to give out red cards etc in friendlies? Obviously there was Talbot 7/8 years ago. But we also had a trialist under Grant, who was sent off for denying a goal scoring opportunity, about 10 mins into the game. Can’t remember the guy’s name, but he’s been on the SFA suspension list for about 2 years (listed as a Dunfermline player) because he wasn’t signed and probably hasn’t even been back to Scotland since. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ali Omar, just signed for Larne apparently who are playing in the Champions League. Does that mean he'll forever be on this list? Some laugh. We have a friendly on Friday, can we not just say Hamilton is serving his band then? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't get why in what is essentially a training and fitness exercise, for everyone including the referee that they would as strictly apply the rules as you would in a competitive game. A quick word with both benches making it clear he would have been sent off and ought to be subbed off surely is the pragmatic approach. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can understand if the referee would be held back from progression for trying to be pragmatic and sensible, something our governing bodies aren't known for. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

da_no_1 Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 If the rules have changed & refs are now being instructed to chuck red cards around in friendlies then clubs would be better off not bothering with them. Especially if it results in suspensions before the seasons' even started! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
