Yes Its in the Dallas DNA. Beaton must be a 1st. cousin.

So ward is a gem now , make up your mind.

If he were to go there, at least he knows he"ll get all the dodgy decisions going for him. No change there!

You cant say your'e not getting involved in politics then post a link to the Express which is the most politically biased newspaper in the country !

Lol sorry 😞

Lovely strip. Great to see the sponsors logo is hidden in plain sight. It helps the strip maintain a level of class.

Maybe needs a separate thread, but posted here because of the topical relevance. I feel that it is time for the Well Society and the club to call out the woeful state of officiating in the game. I don't expect that they could instigate any change by doing it alone, but should actively work with the other clubs within the league to put forward a case for change. Steelmen online no doubt has enough Well Society members to petition the society to ask that we try to get some form of cooperative movement from the clubs within the league to approach the football governing body about setting a plan for improvement. Any thoughts?

Nick Daws got new role as Head Of Football ( or Hand of Football) as John Beaton would call it! 🤪 Taken lot of stick over years for the poor signings but has unearthed some gems in unusual markets and players released. Ie....ward....koutrombis...Sparrow...Maswanhise....watt. Long may it continue

Some terrific displays; Sparrow, O'Donnell, Fadinger but my vote goes to Watt.

Sorry forgot the sarcastic emoji 😉. No hidden agenda here. Move along. Move along.

Some people are so paranoid. It's football. Let's keep politics out of football. It sounds like you have another agenda.

Step off yer soapbox. Its obvious the SNP are in league with the Celik. Their mps get freebies to attend Celik matches and even watch the games on the government I pads at our expense then ly about it.. No smoke without fire.

Yeah can't disagree with that (although i'm not fine with it 😂). Its just... how? I appreciate i/ we will always be biased towards our team. But that put to one side, the national reaction to it, including down in england, is not like anything we've had up here for as long as i can remember and the overwhelming majority are saying it was wildly wrong. How can anyone have the brass neck to come out now and say it was right? Especially one who is in charge of a group of referees, none of which are selected for representing at a higher level. It's going to be an awful look.

I mean, they kind of have to, and tbh I'm fine with that. Admitting an error that massively affects who wins your flagship competition would open a much bigger can of worms, both sporting and legal.

Happy to accept you have posted this in good faith, but not sure how an article from the Express helps the discourse? They are fervent anti SNP Brexiteers with an axe to grind. They also mention in the article that similar schemes are in place in Germany and the Netherlands. So what agenda are the governments / FA in those countries following? There are many faults in our game and with our government, but suggesting that there is some conspiracy between the SFA and SNP to ensure Celtic win the league (as the article does, not you personally) is some leap.

They have to fudge some sort of justification. It would be completely unpalatable for them to admit an error, given the ramifications of the decision.

BBC gossip column stating the SFA are to back the decision on wednesday night. Unbelieveable, yet still so believable at the same time. Have not heard one person that isnt of a green bias agree with it. About to make scottish football even more of a laughing stock if true and it becomes official.

Hopefully a win and a chance for the squad to take a bow, albeit in front of a smaller support.

Article from the Daily Express which is pertinent to this discussion. I'm not one to get involved in politics on these pages, and make no comment but simply reposting an article. https://www.scottishdailyexpress.co.uk/news/politics/snp-governments-strategic-partnership-sfa-37155095

Its the same tune as "Scotland away, away, away". Think its relatively new, but has taken on a whole life of its own now. Hearing all 3 stands singing it last night and drowning out the Celtic fans was pretty special 🧡❤️🧡

Went for O'Donnell but could easily have went with Sparrow. Fadinger and Johnny K also impressive.

Not one person at the time in the stadium or the viewing public saw that as a penalty. No one person had a clue why the match had stopped. There was no clear or obvious error. There’s a list of about 20 other things to argue it’s not a penalty. beaton and nepo baby Dallas deserve every single bit of criticism and both should be banned from ever officiating any more senior games. It’s not a one off for either of them, both have been totally incompetent for years. And yes….. I’m still not over it

Too hacked off post last night. Thought we were the better team in the first half, they were for half an hour in the second then us again for the last 15. On the penalty, viewing from the Cooper, I first thought just another throw in to begin with then a free kick to us when there was a slight delay. Completely bewildered when the announcement was made for a VAR check but kept an open mind and thought might have been pretty clear given how quickly Beaton turned and pointed. On the drive home Sportsound going mental about it then watched Sportscene and various other sources since. You really can't explain why VAR got involved in the first place and when it did why Beaton didn't stick by his on field decision without thinking there is a serious problem with competence and/or weakness in decision making with the officiating. The fact Beaton was so quick to award it given how it doesn't seem at all clear whether any of the criteria to justify it are there, never mind there being any contact with the hand, leaves it open to all sorts of theories. May be just my biased viewpoint but I think there isn't any less proof Nicholson was fouled, looks to have taken elbow to the ribs in the challenge.

Low low bar

If he stays in Scotland, that is abroad. For him, at least.
