The referee wasn't good today mate but our guys acting like total clowns didn't help. Allan not being sent off was the only one I'd reckon affected the result. Yet again we beat ourselves. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our ineptitude is compounded by bad and cheating referees, highlighted by Wednesday nights poor refereeing, by giving Aberdeen an early penalty that was clearly shown Morelos got the ball first. Then today's early penalty that was clearly just a fool committed outside the box and the Hivs player throwing himself into the penalty box. Then letting a clear hand ball in the hivs penalty area and a blatant red card challenge by Scott Alan go, by giving a yellow instead. But our ineptitude allows refs to make these wrong decisions easy i suppose. Edited May 14, 2018 by aweebluesoandso 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacK1950 2,399 Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 Once you are on the field a "budget" can't play you off the park only the ability and will of those playing. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo79 15,299 Posted May 13, 2018 Author Share Posted May 13, 2018 I think three words sum up this season (and last): not good enough. I'm sure by the time the World Cup starts, we'll be missing the football but tonight, I'm just glad we'll have a few weekends without worrying about Rangers. In mid July, it'll be "Let's go!". 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soulsonic5791 408 Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 I can only hope that Gerrard and McAllister don't underestimate Scottish football and sign overpriced mediocrity from England. I also hope that Andy Scoulding and his team have been using their passports in earnest. Now transfer silly season will really get into swing. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think that is true at all. Looking at yesterday's game. Were we inept ? Yes, for the 1st 25 minutes and last 15. However, would we have been inept had the ref a) not given their soft penalty after 10 minutes or b) sent Allan off for an absolute howler of a challenge, which could have been a career ender or c) given us a blatant handball decision ? Reality, I suspect, is that had those decisions gone the other way - and lets be honest, b and c were stone-wall - then we would more than likely be lauding Rangers coming back from 3-0 down to win 6 or 7 vs 3 or 4. Instead we are bemoaning our ability to defend, our ability to see games out etc. I don't think that you can suggest poor refereeing doesn't play a factor in how we play. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
der Berliner 3,815 Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 Season's over, next season looming. Had a look at the European games and since we enter in EL Qualification round 1, it looks like we'll face 4 rounds of game before we might enter the Group Phase. All neatly set up by UEFA to make sure the big leagues get as many participants in there as possible. July July 12: First qualifying round, first leg July 19: First qualifying round, second leg July 26: Second qualifying round, first leg August August 2: Second qualifying round, second leg August 9: Third qualifying round, first leg August 16: Third qualifying round, second leg August 23: Play-off round, first leg August 30: Play-off round, second leg Inbetween, we'll have the World Cup, so should we attract players from there, they won't be around till late July, I would assume. That's 8 weeks from now on till the first qualifier. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
