South of France or East End of Glasgow? Mmmmm let me think about that one🤔

If Jens is having any thoughts about hanging around Scottish football for another season tonight just may have been the straw that breaks the camels back. Must be sickening for him to put in all the work during the week to see it mean nothing because of shite referees video assistants and a poundshop VAR system.

If one thing came out of tonight for me it's finally made my mind up that Ill never be back to a Celtic game. Their fans really are absolute animals. I've just left my son who is a wheelchair user and sits with me in the disabled shelter still traumatisd because the scumbags who invaded the park from the main stand nearly came through the roof of the shelter. 2 got onto the park and were huckled by the stewards but were throwing punches as they were led out to the gate. One guy fell off the roof onto his back and looked to have seriously injured himself. I'll visit the zoo now when we're at home to Celtic as the animals there are better behaved. Worst penalty decision I've ever seen. Always laughed at Rangers fans when they said the League is corrupt but I'm now beginning to think they're onto something.

Don't panic guys. Spoke with Dougie who confirmed it was a hoax call by someone he knows who is a bit of a practical joker and SSB fell for it hook line and sinker as has the Daily Record. Wouldn't like to be in his shoes when Dougie gets a. hold of him.

Thats it exactly. Happened right in front of us in the disabled shelter and although there was contact it was minimal and the diving wee runt tried to make the most of it. If someone is standing on your foot you cant jump 2 feet into the air.The couple of dramatic rolls around the pitch afterwards probably influenced McLean and the VAR team. If he had just simply gone down without all the amateur dramatics he might have got the decision.

How many times this season have we seen a tackle that's blown for a foul and a yellow card in one game yet an identical tackle in another waved away. All we're looking for is our refs to know the rules of the game and apply them consistently.I don't think that's too much to ask for It's feckin frustrating and boils my piss no end and don't even get me started on our VAR which I'm convinced the SFA got off Temu or Shein. I'm with Michael Stewart all the way.

I concur 100% Starsail. Im actually at the stage of seriously considering not renewing my season ticket next year which I've had for over 50 years and just going to watch local WOSL games. I just can't stomach anymore the obvious mistakes, the resulting apologies from Collum, not being able to celebrate a goal until VAR tries their best to find anything in the build up to disallow it, and seeing goals disallowed because a fingernail is offside. Kills the enjoyment stone dead for me in a season where we've played our best football in years. Not an on the spur feeling but one that has grown over a couple of seasons till I just think **** it what's the point.

Not at the races. Not even at the starting line.

Im going to be a bit controversial here. You see players going down very easily every week in every league and every country and it's my pet hate (outside of VAR) Issuing yellow cards doesn't seem to be stamping it out either so maybe we need more of this to finally hammer home the message that if youre caught doing it either during a match or after a review then youre going to get hammered. As long as it is done consistently and across the board of course but I won't hold my breath with these clowns in charge who would rather eat their first born than upset the OF.

I really don't know as they seem to have as many problems with bad decisions for or against them. Maybe someones keeping a record somewhere? I've got friends who are OF fans and they moan about VAR as much as me but because of who they are they get more media coverage. VAR is just shit and why I love going to the odd local WOSL game.

It's simply not fit for purpose and that's been proved time after time since it's inception. You would think that things would improve through time but if anything the decision making is getting worse each season and that's worrying.

Just watched match of the day on I player and seen 4 worse examples of holding in the box in 4 different games. No fouls given no cards issued. Our referees and pound shop VAR are a complete and utter joke compared to down south.

Grizzly could always do a nationwide stadium tour.🫠

Just out of curiosity and comparison purposes I asked a work colleague who deals with large commercial loans how much the annual servicing cost would be on a £30m capital and interest loan over 30 years. Approx £2.2m at current rates apparently.

Interesting views and points. My own take is that Im more sentimentally attached to old Fir Park in the days of terracing than what we have now probably because that era holds more good memories for me. If we decided to up sticks it probably wouldn't bother me too much. I thought at the time when Ravenscraig was being developed that this was the ideal opportunity if we were ever going to move from Fir Park by getting into bed with the council and private equity. A fully integrated indoor sports facility and new ground with training facilities linked to a mini town centre with franchises like McDs etc all located in the same place with transport links. Could still happen I suppose but I think the most cost effective solution is probably some kind of redevelopment on the current site.
