bluedan 93 Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 I'm quick to slate refs so I have to say overall Collum did very well. Couple of incidents good and bad though. He started very well not allowing Stokes (more on him later) away with a shocker just because it was the first 5 mins. Why though did he have to "even it up" by booking McCulloch for a perfectly legal tackle. To further compound that mistake though, he never booked Samaras at about 18/19 mins for a similar tackle to McCulloch's, the difference being McCulloch played the ball and the Greek just went through the man? 2) When Ki I think got booked I was glad Collum never did the usual even it up trick you get with any handbags or flash incident by also booking the victim. So often when players come face to face after a bad challenge both the perpetrator and the victim get booked by the ref in some inexplicable way of keeping it even and not upsetting anyone. However i'm not sure how giving someone a deserved booking and then giving the same punishment to an innocent party is fair. Pet hate of mine and I'm glad Collum didn't fall into that trap. 3) Collum was nigh on excellent up until the 87th minute when Samaras should have walked (bearing in mind he should already have been on a yellow) when he came through the back of Naismith with no intention to play the ball. 4) Ki in particular had a fancy for pulling his own legs from under himself when anyone was behind him. There is a difference between someone coming through the back of you and someone feeling a little pressure and taking a dive. Aside from the ref and onto Stokes. Always thought he was a decent player at Hibs, but turns out he was like Aberdeen or the tims who aren't good enough to play for them in Grady etc. He just played his heart out against and for Celtic it's been shown he isn't that good. Just a dirty rat kicking everything that moves. His use of the ball was often shocking today and added little but fouls. What bodes well for the season ahead is that we beat them comfortably in their midden without being excellent. We were just fairly decent imo. If we really hit form against them and the rest there can only be one outcome. :spl: You forgot to mention Samaras giving Shagger a wee dig wi his knee in the 2nd half. minimal contact but it was naughty. I'll let you off though,good points. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluedan 93 Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 Just had another look at the Stokes challenge on Papac. That was F****** disgusting. At first i thought it was a slide with the foot raised but its a full on lunge. That could have snapped his ankle. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll let you off though,good points. Aye, not much in it, but if they're going to go back and ban Shagger for not even making contact..... I'll need to see the Stokes tackle again too. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
