We also have defensive frailties that Wellfan pointed out above. If officials are going to be pernickety they could have looked more closely at Hearts' opener. It seems to me that Findlay (No 19) was holding/pulling our defender when he headed the ball back across goal. As for the penalty, I'd say it was 55/45 not a penalty. A very close call which, once again, went against us. You could argue that the lad's heading of the ball of the ball was involuntary, but I'd say that according to the laws of the game it shouldn't have ben awarded. Can't be 55/45 if laws say the hearts boy is committing the offence but they've given it and we need to suck it up again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A kind of "f#ck you" you wont make me go away that easily. The SPFL do really need to have a major review of refereeing and VAR at the end of the season though. Fans of all clubs feel the same way about the situation. At a time when attendances seem to be on the up, it would be crazy to ignore the paying punter. The authorities don't care about you. Another thing is we are all paying money to fund these incompetents and be paid lip service from Collum... wouldn't happen in any other entertainment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I would hope my club views it differently and makes representation to the authorities in conjuction with all the other clubs to try and sort this. As you say, football is an entertainment industry. In a season where we have enjoyed the best football many of us can remember, and attendances are up, we should be taking this one up on behalf of all supporters to improve the experience. It would be an act of utter self harm if fans are driven away from the game due to poor officiating.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, during games we should make our feelings known about poor and/or inconsistent decsions in the time honoured fashion (note: no abuse).
