  1. Yeah, this is my view. I'd like to get more than 500k but I don't think we will unfortunately given Louis's injury and therefore slow start to the season. He's worth more to us than that I think for the reasons you've pointed out. Great player for us, will continue to be and give 100% too. King Louis.
  2. When the fixtures were released there were quite a few comments about the fact it was a fairly difficult start. I thought there is a good chance we will come out the first two with nae point which has come to pass. Ross County at home should give us a chance to rectify that. We need to be winning our home games this season given that the league is a little stronger than it was last season. Team above looks about right to me. 3-1 'Well with Moult and Fisher getting things going.
  3. Disagree but Not fussed either way really. Back to Motherwell!
  4. Looked like two players coming together head to head to me rather than a headbutt. Don't think that ever deserves red cards. Certainly wouldn't want one of ours sent off for that. Seen it plenty.
  5. Cadden is our most important attacking player at the moment, I'd argue, with 2 seasons and 5 transfer windows left in his contract. He shouldn't go unless it's a big fee this close to the end of the window.
  6. Judicial panel is a big pool of former players, managers, referees, club officials or legal experts. Different members for each review is the correct a way to go for me. It should protect against any perceived bias (e.g. the same 3 people as are always on it and 'he hates me' type of chat). But it does leave the risk of different decisions from panel to panel. However, the framework to make those decisions should be there to ensure that does not happen. Unfortunately with the laws of the game leaving a lot to interpretation it's never going to be easy. But, the fact we can appeal and review decisions in the cold light of day is a good thing.
  7. Confirmed on the SFA website that both Carson and Dunne red cards appealed against the offence of denying a goal or an obvious goal scoring opportunity. Both, and Dunne's from the cup, to be reviewed on Thursday 17th August
  8. Read that and also that he played centre half in the recent friendly!
  9. Watched the highlights this morning. Carson and Dunne will have theirs rescinded. No question. Awful and game changing decisons. McHugh definitely a booking but, fuck me, the BBC made it out like he had jumped in at waist height and chinned the boy with ravensteel.
  10. I wasn't there but it just shows you the difference between stats and reality if that is the case. We had 60/40 posession in our favour and more shots on goal in the first half according to Bet365
  11. Be interesting to see how we start out. Reeks of long ball and take out the midfield. Carson Tait Heneghan Kipre Dunne Cadden McHugh Bigi Rose Bowman Fisher Or Carson Tait Heneghan Kipre Cadden Bigi McHugh Rose Dunne Bowman Fisher Maybe? A few options.
  12. It was amended last year: The previous 'triple-punishment' law meant a player who denied a goal-scoring opportunity in the box was automatically red-carded and handed a suspension, as well as giving away a penalty. The law has now been changed so players committing accidental fouls that deny goal-scoring opportunities in the penalty area will not be automatically sent off, with a yellow card sufficient punishment. Actual amendment is "When a denial of a goalscoring opportunity offence is committed by a defender in the penalty area, the penalty kick effectively restores the goalscoring opportunity so the punishment for the player should be less strong (e.g. a yellow card) than when the offence is committed outside the penalty area. However, when the offence is handball or clearly not a genuine attempt to play or challenge for the ball, the player will be sent off." So we must be appealing that he genuinely tried to play the ball and therefore should have only got a yellow.
  13. No thanks Henrik.dont think there is any danger of it to be fair.
  14. I dunno weeyin. It wasn't the usual and he hinted early next week.
  15. I'd disagree. Advertising of it was everywhere I looked certainly - here, emails from the society, website, Twitter , facebook - the only thing left is for someone to hand deliver me a letter and shout in my face.
  16. If we can get Fisher AND Moult scoring then we are on to a good thing with Cadden, Frear, Bigi and now MacLean looking like scoring options from midfield.
