  1. Today
  2. We should look on the positive side as maybe it was a blessing when you see who was their Goalkeeper one of our player could have been killed
  3. Yesterday
  4. I’ve had a look at the video... Some of them are on one side of the fence, some on the other. whilst… aye…. others are still on it. i think VAR is shite - me, myself, I.
  5. I remember that one very well. 3 goals lost in around 10 minutes after an Eddie Gallagher hat trick . John McDonald scored the Sons equaliser. Worse than a defeat!
  6. So you're all still on the fence then?
  7. Gretna in the Scottish Cup. That was extremely disappointing and led to an angry drive back up the M74. I should have known better. Never learn
  8. Losing three late goals at Boghead in the 1990s was a bummer also. Just St Mirren being St Mirren Letting us down since 1877
  9. I still think there’s a version of VAR that can work and that version is a massively simplified one. First thing I’d do is bin the use of VAR for retrospective red cards. On field decision stands every time. For me that has ruined many a game. For offside, the rule needs to be changed to clear daylight. This would assist with two things being 1) decisions could be made pretty much instantly (no more standing around waiting) and 2) it would mean us having less cameras than they have in England wouldn’t be so much of a hindrance to decision making. Penalty for a foul - I’m torn on this one between ditching it completely and going with on field decision or changing the rule from clear and obvious error (which frankly is f**king stupid in the first place as it’s totally subjective) to clear and obvious foul which should be a lot more straightforward. By clear and obvious foul I mean if you can’t see it clearly on first look then move on. A CLEAR foul should be visible from any angle. And finally handball. I still say the problem with the inconsistent decisions re handball are the fault of the incredibly f**king stupid rule rather than with VAR. The way the rule is at present it’s almost impossible for there not to be inconsistent, subjective decisions based on one person’s interpretation. So I’d say either come up with a far more categoric rule, or ditch it from VAR. So I guess ultimately what I’m saying is that VAR can work if it’s used only for decisions that are a matter of fact, rather than a matter of opinion or interpretation. VAR has been massively over engineered and it should be used in the same simplistic way as goal line technology. I'm sure this simplified version of VAR would probably be a fair bit cheaper as well.
  10. One game in a long season. Losing to Killie is countered by winning away at Aberdeen. Losing to the Swedish mob in the 2nd round of the UEFA Cup. In my opinion cannot compare. Next round would have been against FC Koln of Germany. The 2010 LC Final was the worst experience in my lifetime as there was a major domestic honour (against an OF side) at stake which trumps the UEFA cup loss.
  11. Junction changes scrapped - thank f**k. https://www.the-gazette.co.uk/news/24191954.controversial-plans-make-changes-two-key-junctions-scrapped/
  12. This It might be sh!te decisions by the on-field @rseholes but at least it's cheaper sh!te without paying for the hidden sh!ts.
  13. VAR has ruined the game with the offside by a baw hair decisions at times your sitting wondering if it worth celebrating a goal incase you look like a bam when its disallowed ( especially when you know Collums involved in our games) .Between VAR and the handball laws it’s just feckin up the game , go back to refs and linesmen feckin it up without electronic help.
  14. VAR is a shambles and should be got rid of, brings nothing to the game, instead of clearing up controversy it muddies the water even further . It breaks up the flow of the game and leaves fans and players alike confused and bewildered. Yes , I know it’s humans that make the ultimate decisions but for me I’d rather discuss the performance of a useless, incompetent or biased ref in the pub after the game rather than said ref, how many more arseholes in a wee office somewhere, multiple camera angles , stupid offside lines & replays and even more baffling decisions . Saturdays Motherwell game was a beauty ….. to disallow ‘Wells goal after the ball shaves off a jumping players arm which he Knew nothing about then refuse the same team a Penalty after Shinnie blatantly hits the ball with his elbow is beyond belief ! What f**king good did the cameras and slo-mos do there keep yer pitchside monitor, yer ref doing his ‘it’s a TV programme ‘Charades crap & a couple of guys hiding in a wee office . Costs money we don’t have & delays the game unnecessarily.

  16. A fairly honest interview where he takes responsibility for his part in failing to get subs on quickly enough, but at the same time doesn’t miss the players which is fair enough. The one thing missing from the interview for me is him taking responsibility for the starting line up in the first place. In my opinion neither, Flynn, O’Hara or McMenamin should’ve been starting the game.
