  1. The other thing that speaks volumes to me is that both Craig Thomson and John Beaton have been demoted to the championship this weekend for their performances on Saturday. I'd have thought that might look favourably on our appeals.

     

     

    Craig Thomson refereed the Inverness v Falkirk (Championship) game on the first week of the League season

    John Beaton was not given a game to referee the first week, he was 4th official at the Celtic v Hearts

    Willie Collum refereed the Morton v St Mirren (Championship) game last week

    Steven McLean refereed the Dunfermline v Inverness (Championship) game last week

     

    So it's not a demotion, they just don't referee in the Premiership every week. When they are given a League 1 or League 2 game then maybe consider it a demotion.

  2. SJ2310 unfortunately I am crap with IT so not able to post rules but if you google triple whammy at penalty you will see new rule says got to be deliberatel foul if stopping goal scoring opportunity to be sent off if penalty given so you may think I'm wrong but I disagree as sure I'm right .

     

    You mean this section

     

    "Where a player commits an offence against an opponent within their own penalty area which denies an opponent an obvious goal-scoring opportunity and the referee awards a penalty kick, the offender is cautioned if the offence was an attempt to play the ball; in all other circumstances (e.g. holding, pulling, pushing, no possibility to play the ball etc.) the offending player must be sent off. A player, sent off player, substitute or substituted player who enters the field of play without the required referee’s permission and interferes with play or an opponent and denies the opposing team a goal or an obvious goal-scoring opportunity is guilty of a sending-off offence."

  3. New rule say if penalty given their is no longer a double whammy as in pen and sending off . The only way you can be sent off is if you deliberately stop goal scoring opportunity so if you foul and even if last man and it's not deliberate it's now a yellow and a pen .I am 99.99 % certain Dunne red card will be overturned as never deliberate if he even fouled him in 1st place as that's debatable .

     

    See my post above as you have misinterpreted the ruling.

  4.  

    They took away the Triple whammy. Red Card, Penalty and presumably goal. Refs are only supposed to give red and a penalty for serious foul play

     

    No that is wrong. It would only be a yellow card if the player made a genuine attempt to play the ball (i.e. a tackle or the goalkeeper coming out and diving at the feet of the attacker etc) but ended up fouling the attacker and sadly Dunne didn't do that either today or against Ross County. Players will still be red carded for all other fouls like pulling, pushing, clipping their heels etc that deny someone a goal scoring opportunity.

  5. What Motherwell should have did was close fir park till the pitch had bedded in and hired accies or airdries grounds on a ground share.

     

    Wouldn't have been able to use Airdrie as it doesn't have undersoil heating and has been one of the first to go off every time there has been a problem with weather this season.

  6. Hamilton's players hated the artificial surface and blamed it for a lot of their injuries at that time.

     

    Accies had less injuries during the time they used the fieldturf than the other teams in the SFL. If it was not for the SPL rule regarding having undersoil heating Accies would be still be using the fieldturf.

  7. No. Players hate them and there are many managers and coaches who believe that their long term use increases player injuries.

     

    I have still to see any actual medical evidence to support this. Derek Ferguson actually made a great point on Radio Scotland on Saturday regarding fieldturf, if these claims of increased/long term injury risk are true why are all the youngsters being brought up playing on them surely that would mean then that they'd be putting them at risk of being injury far earlier in their careers than those currently playing pro.

  8. I like the new away kit. It kind of reminds me of the first away kit we had with Pony, only the stripes are horizontal instead of vertical.

     

    That was my favourite top home or away, was an absolute cracker.

  9. Any new refs this year? I think Stuart Dougal has retired. probably a few more but I can't find much info about it. the list for opening day has some reasonably unfamilar names.

     

    There are 2 new referees this year, Kevin Clancy and John Beaton. Beaton is 4th official on Saturday and originally a Jervy boy.

     

    Other than Dougal retiring only Rev McCurry got taken off the referee list.

  10. he was on the bench against st mirren mate.he was out doing a lot of running at the warm up quite a bit before the rest of the team came out for theres

     

    You did see in the technical area against St Mirren, just the wrong one, his brother was the 4th official.
