Less glad that people paid real actual money to watch that last night... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreamOakTree1 Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 I'm not sure airdrie were deliberately being that clever, calculated and cynical, but they pretty much targetted our best players and, even though they coudn't beat us, they effectively stopped us from winning any of our next three games while they've caught up. What was most surprising was the ref watched them do it. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pull My Strings Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 1 hour ago, The Ghost of B A R P said: I've absolutely no problem with an away team, a goal up, hitting the deck at every opportunity and slowing down the restart; it worked. Complaint is with the gimp of a referee, who let them do it for over an hour. At certain points he was waiting around until the Utd players were gracious enough to agree to continue the game. Eye-bleeding stuff. He could have played about twenty minutes additional time (aye, I know: we still wouldn't have scored). Aye, well that's one way of looking at it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Shedboy Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 There were quite a few occasions when the Ref was ball-watching i.e. turning his back on where it had just been. Â I'm sure both sides would have been penalised if he wasn't so keen to avoid the obvious. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foxinperu Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 Absolutely delighted to see United come out on top in an ugly, absolute war of a game.  Whilst I’d love to see more quality in final 3rd and finishing, just to see us compete, not get bullied etc. is very refreshing. No serious complaints at all with that United performance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have yourself a nice evening, now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you've ever been on the Airdrie fans Facebook page you'll understand why that's such an insult. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope Oakley recovers for you in time for the Cup tie a good player,  it was a physical game which Morton didn't hold back in,  remember the cynical challenge on Lewis McGregor which could have put him out for the season, or will we not talk about that.. ATS clipping Oakley was part of the game, retribution you decide, an eye for an eye and all that macho bollocks....   Good luck against Hearts with a fit Oakley (surprise,surprise) leading the line.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All for physicality and players leaving a bit on each other, kneeing someone in the back knowing you're never winning the ball is just cowardly, as was his horrendous foul on Crawford in the first 10 minutes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah yes, your players do seem to like to leave a bit on opposition players.  82 league bookings so far this season, the highest number by any team in Scottish Football so far...surely that is indefensible....  1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoiler *Willing to bet that around half were for irrelevant bullshit that niggly wee arsehole refs just love to make part of the story...  0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will rephrase it, you are quite happy for Morton players to be over physical (your words). But get a tad upset if opponents get over physical with Morton players..  Is that fair enough comment...... Where's Oakley off to next season ( recovery permitting) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
