Pah, Nilsson Schmilsson.

And in fact, I went into the office after renewing online and taking the digital option (I want my card updated) and was told that my card would be updated. The whole thing is as clear as mud and I suspect another visit to the office will be required.

Tough pick, I nearly went for Oxborough for the save on 45 minutes and Slattery, O'Donnell and Halliday all played well. Went for Seddon though, I think he gives a calming influence at the back that isn't there when he is absent.

FYI Dave, I was out and about in the region of Fir Park today so I went in to the ticket office and asked the question. I was assured that, having taken the digital option, my existing card will be updated, I will just have to wait till next season to find out if that does indeed happen.

It was the same for me, I went with the digital option in the end, I just hope I remember to charge my phone before each game. If you find out that adding to the card is still an option, let me know please as that would be my preferred choice.

But would you shed any tears about the 23 journeymen that replace them for next season?

Lyrics slightly different obviously.

You are correct, that is the instruction, and they do mostly (but not always) let the play go to a conclusion before raising the flag. My point was more that we don't know what the decision would have been in a non-VAR universe as the linesman didn't need to make a decision.

And another four need to be competent defenders 😁

I agree, mostly, with that. The exception is the offside goal, linesman (I refuse to call them assistant referees as they don't assist much) rarely now call tight offside decisions because they assume VAR will bail them out, before VAR was introduced that may have been flagged, although I doubt it given the standard of officiating. A prime example of inconsistencies in the VAR system is the Aberdeen goal disallowed yesterday because of a handball in the build up, exactly the same as a Ross County goal v us last year when we were told only a hand ball by the goal scorer would cause the goal to be chopped / chalked off. So yes, get VAR to feck. *Edit* Just watched the highlights above and it looks like for their goal the goal scorer handles the ball, so it should have been 2-0 to the good guys.

Good man, keep up the good work.

I went with T Watt, Sparrow, Koutroumbis & Slattery all worthy of mention.

A 14 team league playing each other 4 times is a 52 game season, not 42. A 14 team league would probably mean a split after two rounds (26 games) followed by two more rounds against the teams in your half of the league (12 games) meaning 38 games total. The problem with that, well one problem, is that there are 7 teams in each half so for every round of fixtures there is a team without a fixture. Option 3 only has two bigot fests a season so there is no way that is being voted in. Personally, I would go for an 18 team league, 34 games, but that won't happen as per option 3. Whilst the league is organised to suit the arse cheeks, nothing will ever improve the product. *Edit* Sorry, didn't consider a 6/8 split. (Still $hite though)

Of course, had he been shown a yellow card for pushing Gordon into Balcombe, resulting in Gordon being replaced, (Not shown on BBC highlights), then he would not have been on the park to be sent off when he was. What goes around comes around.

Kirkie Lawson was one of my early heroes, but I've never heard him referred to as Kirkland before, I'm sure his name was Kirkwood!
