You'd think, but after yesterday's hastily released SFA statement "backing" Walsh, I'm not so sure. 

This in itself needs to be called out by the people above Clement though. If they're backing the ref so quickly, releasing rule quotes and such, are they essentially saying the appeal will fail before its lodged? Its just all so amateur and incompetant at best

He didn't take the headlines but Igamane is a joy to watch. His touches and turns are sublime and he almost guarantees at least one nutmeg a game. Winning is the most important thing but it's nice to be entertained too, to admire skill for skill's sake.

 

Whilst I agree, his final pass and decision making are still a little erratic. However he is young so hopefully, these aspects of his game will improve the more he plays.

Oh, he's far from the finished article, completely agree. Ironically the tricks might get coached out of him, apparently they don't go down well with professional players and while he's a big strong boy some thug defender might take retribution having been humiliated live on TV. 

But for spectators watching someone beat a man with skill is still spell binding. The deftness of touch, the speed of thought and the appreciation of the ability required to execute it. Watching that thug Gallagher being sent for the messages late in the second half was a delight, no humiliation is too great for him.

From abother site. 

 

Last League Penalty

 • Rangers: 287 days

 • Celtic: 12 days

 

Last League Red Card

 • Rangers: 0 days

 • Celtic: 329 days

 

The numbers speak for themselves. The imbalance is glaring, and it’s impossible to ignore anymore. This isn’t a one-off — it’s a consistent trend that seems to only be intensifying.

For those wanting to see the incident again, here's the clip from SS. The last 6+ clips shown are always the same from the angle of the ref, who make it look like the deliberate attempt that Walsh saw from his perspective. The one from the side showed that there was a push and Diomande's arm comes around flailing because of it. Did it struck him? The reaction of the player tells a lot ... since, in this day and age, he'd have gone down clutching his face in faux agony.

 

I overheard the story told by the reporter that Walsh officiated the EL game of Union St. G, sending off 4 players, one/some will thus be suspended next week. He probably wasn't aware of this at the time, I'd assume ...

 

While I can understand not wanting to risk the result, he might have subbed Diomande and Raskin off for Curtis and/or Rice for the last 10 mins. Lovelace did quite well when he came on, setting up Dessers for the deciding goal. These boys, much like Igamane and Nsiala, are not afraid of something spontaneous, and do things more instinctively. Our "veterans" like to think and keep the ball too long, hence, the oppositions can react much easier.

I’ve seen far better players than Dessers getting the treatment from the Ibrox legions they get it because these fans pay their hard earned money following the team and are entitled to boo players and board when they aren’t happy with them l

Sky Sports Dermot Gallagher on Ref Watch said never a red, very surprised it was shown and not overturned. Sue Smith and Stephen Warnock were baffled and were asking where the foul was, they said he is just keeping his balance. But all 3 said it was a push by the Dundee Utd player who was already on a yellow. 

 

I think it will get overturned for sure.
