Kendo Posted January 19, 2015 Report Share Posted January 19, 2015 Sending off all day long. So much shite spouted on this thread. F*cking idiot. Yes the more you see it the worse it gets, any non Saints fan I've spoken to thinks it was a bad challenge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madball Posted January 19, 2015 Report Share Posted January 19, 2015 Yes the more you see it the worse it gets, any non Saints fan I've spoken to thinks it was a bad challenge. Showed it to my workmate, former SPFL manager and player, and he said that in his view it's a yellow but can see why 4th official called it as red from their viewpoint.

Bobby_F Posted January 19, 2015 Report Share Posted January 19, 2015 Noticed they never put the microphone on the ball for McLeans " goal " against Motherwell , or try and use it on the Aerquin sending off , when it looked like Arrquin may have played the ball . Perhaps , St Mirren as a team , should start this play acting lark , and try to get others sent off. I really don't want to see us starting to cheat like that, but I do get mightily pissed off with what seems to be a real lack of consistency in what incidents they highlight and how. The 'Goodwin Magnifying Glass' being used selectively on us, and not on others does not seem fair in the slightest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 'Goodwin Magnifying Glass' being used selectively on us, and not on others does not seem fair in the slightest. Its not cheating , its being streetwise , its not diving , its about exaggerating the pain caused by a foul tackle , and trying to get the opposition players booked , we are terrible at it , but every team uses that tactic against us.

Bobby_F Posted January 19, 2015 Report Share Posted January 19, 2015 Yes the more you see it the worse it gets, any non Saints fan I've spoken to thinks it was a bad challenge. Probably because the commentators and press have all said so. The press's initial reaction was that the card was 'very harsh'. But as soon as TV pronounces its verdict the journos all close ranks. Even if he did end up stamping on Toshney's foot, it was not intentional, and while it may have been reckless it wasn't dangerous. I'd be complaining about a yellow card for that, but realise that's what's normally given for a forward's clumsy tackle. When you look at what Boyd and Miller got away with yellows for at Tynecastle last month, Arquin's was a yellow at most. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't expect that after last night Hopefully the panel are people who have played the game I think it's just a ploy until we can get another forward in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northstbuddie Posted January 19, 2015 Report Share Posted January 19, 2015 (edited) Only saw the brief highlights on Sportscene but ............. Another thing standing out was the Saints centre half, he is absolutely useless ! Must get rid of him at once and sign another. I assume you are talking about Cheesy. According to most people who were actually at the match, Cheesy had an excellent game. One of the highlights at Dingwall for me and a lot of Saints fans was the look of sheer ecstasy on Cheesy's face at the end of the match. He is a buddie through and through and while he has made a few individual errors this season (as have a number of other players) this has been a year when collectively we have not enjoyed the rub of the green.

Ally Posted January 19, 2015 Report Share Posted January 19, 2015 Yep, all this 'agenda' stuff is rather embarrassing. As well as the pundits, bbc, officials etc. do all the st mirren fans who thought arquin's challenge was a bit reckless ALSO have an agenda against st mirren? It's a delusion of grandeur, that all these different people and organisations would hold a grudge/agenda against us. We're a small team who, out with the people who support it, no one really gives two f'cks about! Maybe I'm wrong, perhaps everyone does have an agenda against st mirren because they really really really want the famous Ross county to stay up. Or maybe I'm not.

You have to care enough to hate someone/something. We're just one of many 'diddy' clubs, inter changeable with many others. I bet if you went on every other team's forum in the league you'd get a few paranoid individuals claiming there's an agenda against their team...
