bunglebonce Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Woods is a better player than he is playing just now. He isn't great at putting the foot in when it is needed. I'd rather have Rocco Quinn, who might not complete as many passes but who takes a lot more responsibility. The team is crying out for a playmaker so bad.

sergie's no1 fan Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 This is what we're missing, one really standout player, not one in the squad today, Carey should have been it, tried but wasn't. Is it strange that our one hope to me is Tony Dingwall? A handful of games but the only one I can see that could have changed our game today. Carey drifted in and out of the game, that was the kind of performance we became used to from when he was with us. Thought he was going to score that free kick !

sergie's no1 fan Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Pleasing. Vair pleasing bud. Jim's silver hair is acting like a halo now. Probably worth putting money on him being carded v United though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Scan Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 It's the ref I feel sorry for. He clearly didn't see it and so went on the word of his 4th official in good faith that he certainly had a good view of it. He'll be looking at the highlights this morning and thinking 'that stupid c**t is going to get me hauled in front of an appeals panel for that!' It should be the 4th official who is carpeted, not the referee. Correct What was the 4th official getting involved anyway The ref saw the foul and gave it It wasn't an off the ball incident that the ref missed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingscot Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Anyone got a link for the highlights? I didn't think they were released until 1800 on Sunday. The Youtube ones are available to people abroad from about 10pm on Saturdays. (Amazingly they can get a highlights package cut and commentated on in that time despite what the BBC wants to say!) http://www.youtubeunblocker.org/permalink.php?url=d5D4zsG3n1yrwOe1CfU%2FGgpOMVqlAOKvGJhJyUWKE08ayqbTFq0uzem%2FouELwSIWRa9dQPNGN7Y4Uj8WHLw1Lg%3D%3D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smeato Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 I'm of this mindset, but the chance -however small it is - to beat Sevco and keep them down would be worth finishing 11th for. f**k, gave this a red by accident. Whoever does finish 11th better pump those bigot p***ks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvio Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Whilst I don't think it was a red card, the angle from behind the goal gives the SFA a bit of wriggle room I think. Given all we have done is criticise referees recently, and had McLean's rescinded, I can see the SFA rejecting the appeal. It might be worth doing it though just to have him available for Wednesday night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
houston_bud Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 I'm not even sure it was a foul. The big 43 barged into Arquin after the ball was away making it a 50/50, at worst I think Arquin might have stood on his toe. It looks like the referee says 'for what?' into his microphone. Not that that makes any difference I suppose as it's clear he wasn't even going to book him, so so mustn't have seen anything. I would be surprised if that isn't over turned. Thompson's one against Motherwell I think probably was a red card, McLean got involved against Kilmarnock when he shouldn't have, so even though I disagreed with the decision I could see why it was given. This decision just seems ludicrous, as I said, I don't even think it's a foul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say so, the likelihood is that we'll have another centre forward in by Saturday given that it's no secret we're looking at more, so even if the appeal is rejected it might not just be as devastating, but it's vital that he's available for Wednesday.

Are 4th officials not supposed to handle off field stuff rather than make decisions about the actual football? I'm assuming the linesman flagged for a throw before the challenge. Did the game restart with a throw in or a free kick? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mordecai Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Having just watched the highlights I have no idea why the red card was given. I really hope that we're appealing this one, Teale did not look happy with the 4th official at all! Who was the 4th official out of interest? Was it Eddie Smith by any chance?

Are 4th officials not supposed to handle off field stuff rather than make decisions about the actual football? I certainly didn't think they were there to be another set of eyes, I'm sure I've commented many a time that the 4th official has had a good view of an incident (in games across a wide spectrum) and could have intervened only to be told that there's nothing he can do to influence the ref, he's there to keep the benches in control and to assist the referee in off-field matters such as controlling the number of subs warming up at a given time and board duties.

Apparently officials, and I'm sure this goes all the way to the top, are robots and judge each and every incident on its own merits. Popularity or otherwise will surely have nothing to do with it !

Popularity or otherwise will surely have nothing to do with it ! To be honest, nobody is having a go at the ref, it's the no mark 4th officials decision to needlessly get involved that is the problem, and the ref is probably raging about that right now as well, but what else could he do? It's not like the Collum incidents where one of the golden boys is making a c**t of themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paisleysaints Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Red card. I'd have been disappointed with a yellow for that. What's the 3 or 4 red cards recently. Will it be appealed in time for utd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alert Mongoose Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 I've not seen the tackle but bearing in mind the reputation of St Mirren players it was more than likely a justified red. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
