Danny Posted January 27, 2014 Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 (edited) Interesting to note the positions of the two teams whose managers were so very vocal about Jim Goodwin .http://espnfc.com/stats/fairplay/_/league/sco.1/scottish-premiership?cc=5739 County are rock bottom while united have got THREE TIMES as many red cards as us. What about the manager who started the Goodwin witchunt? Allan Johnstone made the first such comment way back in September when he asked why Goodwin was still on the park while Boyd was sent off. Same tactics as Adams and McNamara - deflect attention from the thuggish behaviour of their own players Thought it was ironic that a Thistle player got booked for fouling the ghost on Saturday - made me smile!!

Vambo57 Posted January 27, 2014 Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 I think highlighting challenges which result in bookings for Goodwin and those which don't for the opposition are inappropriate. Fixed it fort you mate... Also, this quote from the Hugh Keevins Goodwin article above. I didn't know this! "And the cautions which have followed the Irishman’s return to the team after suspension have provoked internal dismay at St Mirren. Enough to put Danny Lennon, (below) in an office at Hampden with the SFA’s head of referees, John Fleming, for talks on Thursday". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to hear of Danny and the club doing something behind the scenes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sm74 Posted January 27, 2014 Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 Yeah I read that as well. Good to hear of Danny and the club doing something behind the scenes. That's exactly it as well. BEHIND THE SCENES. Good to see our club retaining class throughout by taking the relevant avenues without screaming and bawling in the media. We're great.

Howard Hughes in BlueSuedeShoes Posted January 30, 2014 Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 Watching Alba and Goodwin gets an unjust booking.Wasn't even a foul,never mind a yellow Couldn't believe that one (although in a certain way I could). There really does seem to be a witch-hunt these days against the man. Think we should take the Celtic course of action & say that Jim Goodwin is being hounded out the Scottish game because he's Irish? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beyond our ken Posted January 30, 2014 Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 I spoke tothe referee supervisor for the hibs game yesterday, he told me that his half-time advice to Colum was that he should have booked Goodwin in the first half for a crunching tackle and that he should be looking for the next bad foul to get him ," if you are going to book him make sure it is an eye-catching foul". Colum then books goodwin for an innoccuous challenge Bottom line is that you can't win. Referrees progress by following the advice from the supervisors and observers, unfortunately these guys are all tools. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevie-dee Posted January 30, 2014 Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 What is the largest count his bookings so far this season or the total amount of decent passes he has completed. Our captain is not the best passer of the ball Captain Hollywood or what. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TsuMirren Posted February 2, 2014 Report Share Posted February 2, 2014 If that's true it's scandalous and both ref and supervisor should be reported. Why? It's no worse than a manager saying a striker should have scored first half then mentioning he should score the next one. Surely part of supervision is to give advice.

Referrees progress by following the advice from the supervisors and observers, unfortunately these guys are all tools. I think it's a disgrace too. Despite their shortcomings I think a lot of referees try hard to get it right all the time quite often in difficult situations. If he realises he has boobed and it's too late to change the decision, giving a team a wrong decision to square the books is damnable. Jim's a marked man, but he has brought a lot of it on himself. Oh,sorry, we're not supposed to say that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TsuMirren Posted February 3, 2014 Report Share Posted February 3, 2014 It says the ref should be looking for the next bad foul, not just any foul! If Jim makes a bad foul he should be booked, same for pulling, elbowing or just blindly running in to someone. He's one of ours, but he's not immune as a result of that.

Lanarkshire_Bud Posted February 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2014 (edited) Anyone care to claim that Goodwin isn't being targeted now? That farce from Mackay Steven highlights the tactics virtually every team goes into games with. Pretend Goodwin has hit me and hopefully he will get booked/sent off. Pathetic.

DLBud Posted February 9, 2014 Report Share Posted February 9, 2014 I'd much rather focus on the shadow of a player he's become in the glare of all this media attention. Really poor display from him today. He seems frightened to put a challenge in and when the inevitable booking came it was for shirt tugging. FFS Jim, get your finger out.

Sonny Posted February 9, 2014 Report Share Posted February 9, 2014 Unfortunately Jim is a marked man with the opposition falling about all over the place within 2 feet of him. I do not think Jim is in a position to dive in to any tackle and thought he tackled pretty well today. It was just his final pass was a bit poor but there were many in the team ahead of him with that honour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Armstrong did a similar thing in the first half. On both occasions, Thomson saw it and indicated that nothing had happened. Why weren't the players even spoken to or booked? Then there was the incident when Goodwin cleanly won the ball on the touchline in the first half and their left back Robertson (who had already been booked) squared up to him. What did the ref do....spoke to Goodwin at the first opportunity. I think it was on the 4th official's say so but beggars belief that Robertson wasn't talked to. He's a marked man and Djemba Djemba will be as well soon. Spoken to yesterday after 2 fouls and booked for persistent fouling after committing 4 (maybe 5) fouls? I'd bet that the likes of GMS & Ciftci committed a similar number without even being spoken to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think we can complain about Djemba Djemba's booking, he committed more than a few fouls and could have been more harshly dealt with earlier.

I agree that he committed a few fouls but the point is that he was on the ref's radar from the start in a way that other players weren't.
