Gaz FFC Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Good to know that top ref Craig Thompson seen it. Pretends he did by booking him as well. What a shocker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavyBlueArmy1876 Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 I think Taiwo was closest to the incident and knew straight away it was bad. Really good to see him holding Conor and keeping him calm. Hopefully he makes a full recovery. Thompson was absolutely woeful throughout. The fact him and Collum are our top refs tells you everything you need to know about the standard of officiating in Scotland just now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshmallo Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 I know UEFA and FIFA have them as our top refs but are they really? Collum in particular is atrocious and everything about his manner is the opposite of what a ref should be (ie he is very showy and demonstrative). I think MacLean is the best ref in Scotland tbh.

Hank Scorpio Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 Sorry to hear about McGrandles, always looked a very good player any time I've seen him. Hope he makes a full recovery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CowdenConvert Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 9-12 months.Not with the facilities the top clubs have these days. Going back a few years i think it was Stan Collymore came back from a horrific break after about 6 weeks. I remember being stunned at the time as i'd just started walking again after a similar injury but it was 6 months for me being on the NHS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AsimButtHitsASix Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 If I was footballer I'd rather have a leg break than ligament or cartilage damage. If it's clean he'll be back nae hassle. Just a shame he's missing out on his development at a crucial age Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToonBairn Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 Horrible news regarding McGrandles but it was obvious at the time he had suffered a break. Leg breaks are usually in region of 6 months nowadays so hopefully he gets best possible facilities and recovery Poor game yesterday where conditions were just as bad. We showed yesterday how good we are defensively even though we lacked composure at times Was quite disappointed in Johnstone up front for Ton. Always been impressed with him and I wouldn't mind him in the navy blue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadwell Dog Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Going by the picture in the Sun today its a poor challenge from McKee although he is at leas trying to go for the ball so its not a deliberate attempt to do McGrandles in my opinion. When your foot is up and coming down at that angle on a players leg there's, only going to be one outcome unfortunately. Very lucky not to be shown a red especially in the modern game I would say.

AyrshireTon Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Hope McGrandles recovers quickly. As for the game - I don't give a toss about the points dropped on Saturday, tbh. It's becoming routine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a 50/50. There was no intent to hurt the boy he just came off worse. Joe McKee could've been the one that broke his leg and McGrandles could've been fine.
