magnus Posted April 8, 2017 Report Share Posted April 8, 2017 Is Adam Eckersley suspended for the Morton game? My google efforts on two yellows threw up a comment saying that a two yellows sending off results in an automatic suspension but after 4 days?! Today apart,I think he has been excellent for us.

Julian Banjos Posted April 9, 2017 Report Share Posted April 9, 2017 I really like him. Good player and a calming influence on the defence and team as a whole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will be a big miss - especially when added to the list of Davis and Morgan. I hope you are right Magnus, we could really do with him against Morton. I'd want him in for that game rather than Saturdays Edited April 9, 2017 by southsidebud Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dibbles old paperboy Posted April 9, 2017 Report Share Posted April 9, 2017 I thought he was a bit unlucky to get a red card yesterday. The second yellow card came in injury time and a few Dumbarton players had been let off with similar challenges and that was the same as his first yellow... both were bookable offences but I thought the referee was very poor yesterday in terms of being even handed (or maybe just keeping up with play). I think there was only 1 or 2 times in the 90 minutes where a Dumbarton player fell to the ground looking for a foul where he didn't give it and lots of timewasting was never dealt with even with a warning and he finished the first half (where there was a stoppage for an injury and for the penalty) before the 45 minutes had been played.

I think a few Dumbarton players got treatment for falling over and one of them hurt himself kicking a St Mirren player, he also stopped play to check Irvine ws ok although by the time he did so Irvine was back on his feet. There were 2 goals and a long delay before the penalty was taken (BBC live text updates had the penalty being awarded on 39 minutes and saved on 41 minutes with Dumbarton players being booked during the delay).

Paisley brazilians Posted April 10, 2017 Report Share Posted April 10, 2017 The referee was nothing less than incompetent and so were the lines men absolute joke.just as well they didn't have a free kick specialist or we could have been down a few goals.thanks to the Dumbarton players throwing them selves to the ground.another game another terrible performance from the official's.

Stu Posted April 10, 2017 Report Share Posted April 10, 2017 The scoreboard clock must have been started late. I usually have a stopwatch running for my reports and it was at about 45:30 when the first half ended. The BBC live text also mentions 45+1 for half-time. The scoreboard was about 30 seconds out in the second half too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't saying he played the correct amount of stoppage time, just trying to put an end to the story he played less than 45 minutes in a half. He was useless and had many faults, that was not one. I think the ref at Palmerston played slightly short of 45 minutes in a half a few weeks ago - don't remember too many folk complaining about that.

Tommy Posted April 10, 2017 Report Share Posted April 10, 2017 1 thing that is wrong in the lower leagues in not knowing how long is going to be added on. What I have noticed is the time added is normally 1 or 2 mins reguardless of what have actually happens in the game. Maybe the refs just like to get home early in the lower leagues [emoji460] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Posted April 10, 2017 Report Share Posted April 10, 2017 No added time announcements in lower leagues because there is no 4th official to save clubs cash is my understanding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just get the ball boy nearest to the dugout to do it. Can't be hard to punch in 1 number [emoji460] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fourth official actually times the game and suggests the amount of injury time not simply punch in a number. Ensuring the game lasts the correct length of time is a duty of the officials and part of the rules of the game So it can't be farmed out to anyone other than an official assigned to that match. Imagine the furore if a St Mirren ball boy added on 4 minutes of injury time and we scored a winner during that period? Or if the reverse happened to us? And even if we accept that the ref doesn't have to accept the added time this Tom, Dick or Harry might suggest he would be under pressure if he didn't if it could have affected the result. Not practical for anyone other than an official to suggest added time. No fourth official no announcements I'm afraid Edited April 11, 2017 by Danny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingscot Posted April 11, 2017 Report Share Posted April 11, 2017 Should do what rugby do. A game clock at the side of the pitch controlled by the referee. Ref stops it for injuries / subs. Hits 45/90mins then next time the ball goes out of play it's half/full time. Simple technology all Scottish League teams could have. 4th officials are a waste of space and using 6 Scotland's higher rated referees to stand on the touch line at Premiership games is wasting them and meaning additional diddies in the Championship.
