Would it be so much to ask that they spend the hour before the bottom half matches on the final day of the season actually discussing them in-depth?  Summer signings, players leaving, where could teams strengthen?  They could easily have filled in about 30/40 mins looking at the days games augmented by updates from Central Park and team news etc.

On the day Cowdenbeth also decided not to cover the game on their own Twitter account.

Not one evening this week to discuss the playoff game in some details! I know it will be commentated on tonight but why not have some ex-Thistle and Livi players come into the studio and talk about their seasons, the players, team strengths and weaknesses and do a proper preview? We all know why...

Instead we get an hour of project brave and youth development, which we've had many times, more OF boredom and early Scottish cup final chat. The latter I get and I am happy to listen to as all non-OF fans want the Steelmen to win, however they can't dedicate half a program to the fact the season hasn't finished yet for two full time clubs?

Get yourselves off this joke of a program and into some decent podcasts. I really enjoyed the Terrace's thoughts on the recent play offs. Although the one with that sniveling sounding Killie fan on Monday was Shite.

'Biscuits' was trying to be smart earlier by saying that folk are wrong when they refer to 4G artificial pitches. He says there's no such thing and that 4G is a mobile phone thing. He said all artificial pitches are 3G.

No one pointed out to him what the 'G' actually stands for so he thinks he's made some sort of point. This was after the usual rant about artificial pitches in the top league, including the usual lies and arguments that can, and do, also apply to grass pitches.

'Biscuits' with another couple of pearls of wisdom. Apparently there is a 'last man' rule. Also you can apparently tell by the reactions of the attacking players if a challenge is a foul or not. That will be the same players that claim absolutely everything even when they know it's wrong

Is it Gers? Are we onto the 4th Gers yet?

Couldn’t make it through the Motherwell fan event episode earlier this week. Unusually for this sort of thing all the fans seemed fine but Chick Young turning it into the Chick Young Jackanory hour every chance he got ruined it for me.

I was about to post just about the same thing. Just as a bit of decent discussion built up every single time chick would ruin it with his shite.

Last man and denying a clear goal scoring opportunity is still a thing if there’s no attempt to play the ball, the challenge is violent or there’s a handball isn’t it?

“Last man” has never been “a thing”.

Maybe not that term, but it is still a thing

‘A player, sent off player, substitute or substituted player who enters the field of play without the required referee's permission and interferes with play or an opponent and denies the opposing team a goal or an obvious goal-scoring opportunity is guilty of a sending-off offence

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’

Location and number of defenders.

Show me where it says “number of defenders = 0” (not including the player committing the foul)?

While it’s more likely you will be sent off when you’re the “last man”, that’s because more goal scoring opportunities arise when there’s no other defenders.  But there absolutely no “last man” rule, and there never has been.

You’re being pedantic.

If there’s a challenge and deliberate foul made on a player running through on goal the colour of card will be different depending if he is the last man or if there’s another defender there.

Clearly what people mean when they say that.

No it won't. There's other factors taken into consideration as well.

Use of the expression "last man" is a lazy media construct, and ultimately leads to people saying "but he wasn't the last man" despite still denying an obvious goalscoring opportunity.

Nah. The last man talk is clearly just in relation to the rule about the location of the foul and the number of defenders.

Have you got any examples of that second bit?

Despite the rule not stipulating the number of defenders.

No, I don't keep recordings of people's spoken word. That would be creepy.

The rule says location and number of defenders has to be taken into account doesn’t it?

 

And ‘he wasn’t last man’ is usually brought up in those incidents because if there is another defender there who could stop the attacker it obviously isn’t a clear goal scoring opportunity.

Who said anything about the other defender stopping the attacker?
