itzdrk Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Charlie Mann said that one player definitely kicked the ball to the other then Willie Collum stopped them. He said he couldn't be sure if Collum had blown his whistle first. Tom English did counter that on off the ball by saying that lots of people tweeted to say they hadn't restarted, plus Peter Houston hadn't made anything of it. A Falkirk fan phoned in to say they did kick off but he sounded as if he was foaming at the mouth so I'd put him down as unreliable. He also said the goal wasn't offside as the ball didn't touch whoever it was supposed to have, but that kind of thing is a regular occurrence, I suppose. They said on the radio that the sportscene cameras show that the Falkirk players are still in the Hibs half when it is disalowed, so even if Hibs did kick off then they actually didnt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pull My Strings Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Well, that seemed to the consensus on the radio and they appeared to have consulted the laws of the game. Do you know different? Do I know that there's not a law which says that once the ball's back in play the refereee can't change his mind? No, but I can take a pretty good guess. You chaps suggesting that there is such a law should be able to identify it pretty quick. If Collum did allow the game to restart and then change his mind then he's going to look like a proper twat but this 'illegality' stuff is pure hyperbole. Edit: Clearly, I'm talking shit.

H Wragg Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Also the Falkirk fan on OTB was a total roaster That is true. In fairness, he sounded quite young but he definitely gave the impression that he was saying whatever suited the Falkirk argument whether or not he knew it to be 100% true.

johan scott Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 As I've said many times, Willie is an attention-seeking prat, who is incapable of giving a balanced refereeing performance. Now that he has offended a few West Coast clubs, all of a sudden it's catching on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hammer Jag Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 That was a classic heads gone moment from the hapless Falkirk fan on the radio. Tam Cowan goading him only added to the hilarity as did the caller's stupid accent. It very much reminded me of Limmy's 'that accent' sketch.

RandomGuy. Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Isn't Collum a teacher? I bet his classes are a riot. Religious Education no less Problem for me is he's on 35 and keeps himself fit. Dont think theres a set retirement age for refs anymore, so we could have another 15 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering our standards it could be closer to 20 years we have him for! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
