the thing is they are making an erse of even easy decisions, like blocking a quick free kick, which in any other game i've seen is a booking to the player doing it. Much like Thompson, not sending off or booking the Hamilton player for denying a goal scoring opportunity. Player a trips someone and is booked, player B trips someone and nothing! No consistancy. The best refs in the world talk to players. Just goes to show that all this trying to keep in with refs and not criticising them by our club, has really helped not!

the thing is you might think that way, but im sure many probably already dont go for that reason, as well as sitting in the freezing cold! Our stadium was empty tonight for two top six teams in the top league.

Game is almost up thanks to the confession of McDonald. We all know that if a ref makes a shocking decision, the report will be tweaked to ensure no comeback. Integrity and respect my erse. Perhaps, it's time for the players to go on strike until the refs sort themselves out. The players union is quick to get their faces on TV for none payment of wages, but what about standing up for their players where issues like tonight arise.

blackman's lost interest, more like Blackman was man handled all night, got no protection or service. He's a young guy, he cant be expected to do it all on his own.

the talk is it was dissent. quite convienent that. Must have been a death threat, because Craigan spent most of the game telling the ref to F off.

apart from the pass where the goal was scored, he spent all night giving the ball away. Tell you what he aint that much quicker than Forbes. At least Forbes passes to a team mate. Sutton should have been on long before he did. Reynolds and Craigan would fit in well at Aberdeen!

tell you what we better come up with a plan b and quick. When the opposition stop our wide players, we struggle big time. We created all our own problems tonight, not sure we can say that was due to not playing for a few weeks, as performances like that are becomming common at Fir Park.

if we dont appeal that then we may as well just not bother playing anymore. The standard of refs in this country is a disgrace. No doubt the ref will change his story to ensure he looks correct, i.e. he threatened me blah blah. It was obvious jennings was only trying to get his attention, and any ref who knows the game would know jennings was claiming in desperation, hardly a crime and a half decent ref would have to him to not be so stupid and f off. They want respect, no chance after that performance.

if thats the best Scottish football can offer, they can have as many reconstructures they like, the baws burst.

another game we've gifted away.

ref is getting worse by the minute! bet there is only 2 mins injury time

we should appeal that red! if only to ensure he plays on saturday either the ref has been bought or more likely way out of his depth! refs in scotland are joke

craigan and reynolds are having a mair of a game. Ref has not given us anything all night. timewasting by the ref now! no chance of anything the night.

thought there was a foul leading up to hearts goal. Hearts player clearing barged our player out the road. Mind you we have many chances to clear. Hearts are one dimensional. Hoof up park to big player. It's clear we are short of match practice, and resultant sharpness. They are doubling up on our wide players, so perhaps we need murphy to wander more. The booking Jennings got was deserved, but overhall the refs although not having much to do, would appear to be letting them kick us at any opportunity. Nothing new i suppose.

do we need him? Surely, Jonathan Page, Saunders are as good.

Sure, thinks are tight, and cutbacks may be required, but that should not stop us questioning how the money is spent at our club. Again, what have those individuals contributed since their recent addition to the board. Can't believe they are doing any work for nothing.

Maybe, given the constant changing of managers, and McGhee ignoring the youths and trying to flog our best youths for peanuts, the board thought it was best to keep it seperate from 1st team.

agree you cant spend what you dont have, but I can't believe our youth coaches are on big money. In addition the playing squad is the smallest it's ever been. We've had recent additions to the board room, and i've yet to see what they've added other than another expense. Was one of them not given the task of raising the clubs income? If we are in such a bad financial way, gods knows what state other clubs in the SPL are without a little europeon run, and semi final to look forward to, and on the back of another top six finish. Don't know what to believe these days.

maybe the club was duped and put to much trust on this gentlemans agreement, hence why they never pushed for a contract to be signed. Maybe the old twat threatened to leave if he was pushed to sign a contract. Remember, the phantom agent who was trying to get him to be the Director of football job at Celtic. Given what's happened youve got to wonder if that was another invention by the twat.

Just read on P&B that the club is looking to cutback on the coaching staff especially at youth level. Any truth in this? If, it is true it would seem madness to me, given we rely on our youth system to boost our first team squad. Surely, we aint cutting back on a coach or coaches just to free up a wage for a player. Perhaps, some directors should be shown the door first, for all that they appear to do!

agree with that. In it together, against all.

positive thinking! with sleeves rolled up and a Craigan braveheart speach, we'll pump them.

not that keen on Calderwood. He's just another one off the conveyor belt of run of the mill scottish managers. It would appear mixu is doing a better job than him down at killie, and we all laughed at that appointment... Bringing in Calderwood wont generate much excitement or even a freshness of possible new ideas and knowledge of players in obscure areas. Much like Gannon did. Dont know who the answer is, but lets just wait to see who apply's then we can pick holes in their cv.

that would be the same agents that apparently he does not have! you know what we could pick holes in everything the fecker has said. But you know what, we all know he's a lying twat, and that is all that matters.

would also be interesting to know which of our players wished the old fecker good luck. A guy stabs you in the back, and you send him a text wishing him well. Aye right! Would also hope that if he attempts to go into our dressing room and talk to our players next week, he's told to GTF.
