Ref was following the game and to be fair, most people in the ground didnt really see what had happened - it was only evident from the TV pictures (which were very clear). You could have a case for the West stand linesman seeing it but it was about 40 yards away (and Ramirez does have a very small cock ). It got dealt with retrospectively which is the correct outcome. Struggling to see why you are getting your kecks in a twist? Swings and roundabouts and all that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrewDon Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 (edited) I think we will be seeing a lot of these headlines over the next month (or until he is sold), unfortunately. Edited December 29, 2021 by DrewDon 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this stage anyway. 4 million plus add ons is good going imo. Would allow us to possibly entice McGrath to sign for us and sign two other players of that calibre that could really improve the current squad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank Grimes Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 I agree, £4 million + add ons is good business for a player of his age who has just broken through If it’s at least that we will be cashing in, as we should 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's going to be a terrific player with a long career in front of him, but it won't be at Pittodrie. There's also the strange conundrum that while he's been individually outstanding this season.....especially going forward....it's a fact that we look defensively more vulnerable when he's in the side. I think we're a stronger defensive unit with Ojo there, rather than Ramsey, and I'd be happy enough for Ojo to continue doing what he's doing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The kick was the culmination of an incident in which the two players were practically wrestling in slow motion. "Following the game" isn't a justification for not paying attention to stuff blatantly happening elsewhere. Real time media commentators immediately spotted that Porteous had got away with something. This was incompetent officiating pure and simple. As for the swings and roundabouts comment, that's even worse than the whataboutery I expect from Old Firm bigots. It's ok for our guy to assault your guy and the referee to miss it because something else might happen that sort of might advantage you sometime maybe that might, you know, sort of even things out. What bollocks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DukDukGoose Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 Saw the press reporting that Jenks and Samuels could be awa. Samuels would come at no surprise but can't see Jenks going. Unless Brighton request it of course. I've been impressed with him but he's going to struggle for 90 minutes as long as Ferguson is around. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we're a stronger defensive unit with Ojo there, rather than Ramsey, and I'd be happy enough for Ojo to continue doing what he's doing. Exactly, I keep reading people saying that Ramsey will be a big loss but I don't know what that is based on. Our results seem to be impacted negatively when he's in the team. He may well go onto have a glittering career as, perhaps, better coaches work on his game, especially his positional sense. Although, you never know what turns a player's career can take, sometimes positive and sometimes negative so nothing is guaranteed. IF, we can get £4 million upfront for him and then it would be a great piece of business for us. If he does go on to 100 Scottish caps, Guffball gold medals, and wins the Anglo-Italian-Spanish-German League then supporters might claim that we robbed ourselves. However, that's neither here nor there at this present time, if we can get a good price for him (starting at £4 million) then, I believe, we should take it and wish the boy all the best. In six months, a big donkey like Porteous might have crocked him and he'll be worthless to us.
