St.Ricky Posted August 26, 2017 Report Share Posted August 26, 2017 8 hours ago, oaksoft said: Yeah I agree with your first sentence but this second sentence is a problem football needs to sort out ASAP. Personally, I am sick of hearing "feelings running high" as an excuse for appalling behaviour. Football is one of thousands of sports worldwide. It has no monopoly on passion or "feelings running high" and yet almost every other sport manages to be operated on an almost exclusively respectful manner. The problem here isn't "passion". The problem is people within football thinking there are pretty much no consequences to their behaviour. That seems to be true whether the bad behaviour is on the pitch, in the dugout or in the stands. IMO of course. No argument from me. I was just stating a fact not advocating that this excused the behaviour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuddieinEK Posted August 27, 2017 Report Share Posted August 27, 2017 9 hours ago, Warwick Hunt said: As I understand it, its at the ref's discretion whether the player stays on the park or not. The ref possibly thought Saints were time wasting and IMO, we were! The ref was correct and Jack Ross was wrong. What is the fuss? The referee supervisor spoke to the managers and apparently did not say that it was at the referees discretion. Jack apparantly reacted according to what he had been told by the referees supervisor. You think that inappropriate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless, Jack Ross' reaction was completely over the top. I was in the main stand and Stelios was play acting. Stelios came back on within seconds. It made no difference whatsoever. It certainly wasn't an issue worth abusing the ref and getting sent off for. And even if Jack Ross' version of the ref' supervisor's meeting is correct, how was Craig Thomson supposed to know? Craig Thomson called it correctly IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That says all we need to know. Edited August 27, 2017 by BuddieinEK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deekthebuddie Posted September 7, 2017 Report Share Posted September 7, 2017 The Scottish refs nowadays seem to have a lack of knowledge of the basics so for them to report someone for telling them how to do their jobs is a bit of an embarrassment, Collum and his Bar steward love- child Madden will take a particular interest in this subject Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
