Ladies and gentlemen we have a winner.

Nae chance, over the last 4 or 5 seasons we’ve been pissed on by the current referees for whatever reason.

The seven games to Christmas before back to back games against the arse cheek’s are Killie (A) Hibs (H) Hearts (H) Falkirk (A) Livingston (H) Dun Utd (A) Dundee (H) I’d like to think we can get 12 to 15 points from those fixtures but given that we’ve only managed 15 points in the first 11 games, am I being over optimistic?

It’s the only conclusion we can reach after talking to the player then ignoring his push a minute later. Aberdeen manager would be mad to keep him on

At our game on Saturday he was standing warming up when they scored their first goal and he stood and remonstrated with the linesman saying what looked like the ball was moving at the free kick, thought he was going to be booked because he wouldn’t let it go despite the linesman gesturing to him to move away. Might be a h*n but he was as pissed off as any of us.

You got inside info on the semi final result?

Agree that he’s top class but he needs to be more aware of his options, at one point he beat 3 of their players, Stam started a run only for Said to double back to try and beat the united players again, a through ball was the better option. It’s the one thing I find infuriating about him.

I heard from a guy well connected at Hearts that at the start of the season he was offered to us - unsure if it was a loan or permanent move for cash - but we knocked it back. I’m 100% sure this is true and 90% sure it was a permanent move. Maybe someone else has heard similar.

Ah the unbookable Callum McGregor.

It might be my imagination but do Celtic & Rangers not have a different type of VAR which they had to install to enable them to play in the champion league?

I’ve always said that VAR should be ran by foreign officials who have no axes to grind or possible favouritism and are competent rather then the idiots we have.

I’d rather folks let rip on this forum rather than at the game.

And still wouldn’t get more that a 2 minute highlights package on Sportscene as they talk for 30 minutes about the arse cheeks.

Not really the society’s roll but agree that the club should be saying something, although the instructions are quite clear on the website they do seem to be wrong about no Hampden app no ticket as my mates bought all our tickets on his without needing us all to sign up. Hopefully it’s not going to be a total riot on the day.

You and I are looking at this from opposite angles, you see a pass to the opposition striker, I see a horrendous attempted pass (albeit under pressure - see picture above ) to a Motherwell player, the type of pass we see every week numerous times between outfield players be it by ourselves or on tv by another team which is groaned at but then forgotten unless it leads to a goal. By your criteria every player should be dropped after a misplaced pass or two. As I’ve said earlier McGregor made a mess of a shot and got a penalty while Ward messed up a pass and they got a goal. These things happen and are not a reason to crucify anyone. I’m sure Ward is more pissed off about it than anyone here and I’m also sure that his teammates, although gutted, stand by him 100%. My only gripe about the incident is that Ward jumped and cursed himself for a couple of seconds before reacting instead of getting himself into a better position to face the shot. THAT is where he should be looking to improve in future. Misplaced passes will happen to players it’s how they react that matters. You also see that mistake as what gave Celtic the win, it wasn’t, they still needed another goal for that. Someone stated a statistic for the pass of 5% chance of success against 95% chance of failure, I’d love to see the data that backs that up because I’m sure every manager and his data analysts who sets up to play the way we do would bin that style of play if that’s not a pulled out of the arse statistic.
