I'm not sure about FT Refs though, they have them in the EPL on 6 figure salaries and they still make an arse of it on a far too regular basis. They do, but I'd wager they make far less mistakes than our refs do (though I'm not sure how you'd set about proving this without a shit-ton of effort). Generally, if you have a problem with something, chucking some resources at it tends to make it better. It won't completely eliminate refereeing mistakes but it should cut down on them by giving the refs more training and fitness. The absolute worst thing we could do is put money away for refereeing improvements and spend it on VAR instead of full-time refs. Ultimately, it's up to the strength of feeling that the fans have over bad referees. As a collective, we have enormous power. We just don't really have a means of exercising it. If we did, we could change a lot of things for the better. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bennett Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 All Sevco games to be completely rerefereed, any wrong decisions to be immediately altered by the SFA. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightswoodBear Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 I don't think Roofe intends to do the player there, he's trying to shield the ball, but it's a red card for me. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingjoey Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 Clichéd shite from Gary McAllister tonight “Roofe is not that type of player”. Tell that to Murray Davidson and the Saintees medical staff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radford Posted February 3, 2021 Author Share Posted February 3, 2021 Rangers fans on here very fair about the challenge and also seem able to grasp the quite simple fact that there being no malice doesn't make it alright. I know some folk are predispositioned to defend anything to do with their club but some of the stuff elsewhere. Jesus. I've no problem with Roofe and fully accept he wasn't setting out to hurt Davidson but the second he lunges he is using excessive force and clearly he's endangering an opponent. I don't mind Callum Davidson making comment on there being no malice but disappointed with his comments past that. Stand up for your players and your club. As for the game, we were fine and as structured etc... as you'd expect but a little bit lacking in ambition when you could sense Rangers weren't quite on it tonight. Still, minutes into some players and enough to take forward onto Saturday. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aberdeen also benefit from bad refereeing sometimes! You're losing the run of yourself here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fife Saint Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 My gut at the time was that, too coin an NFL phrase, it was a 'football move'. He's trying to shield the ball but there's an element of misfortune about it. As shite as it is for Murray, these things happen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the penalty, only Itten knows if the challenge was enough to put him down. It certainly appeared delayed but with that amount of contact, I can see why folk are screaming for it. Again, no complaints if it had been given. Pathetic whataboutery above. @bennett 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
