They are just as bad in the other leagues I follow.
While I am in no way defending them, it's the cheating players that are more to blame. The punishments for conning the ref are far less severe than the benefit they get if they succeed. So there's not much to lose for them.
There seems to be negotiations ongoing to keep Hartley - he certainly appears to be enjoying is first team football. If he did move on, he's running the risk of ending up on the bench again. I know it's not quite the same situation, but Liam Grimshaw is a good example of how things can go wrong that way.
Or maybe, instead of focusing on some kind of Hollywood revenge fantasy, we can put our energy into beating them by keeping 11 men on the park.
Plus, it will be Leigh Griffiths we need to worry about tonight, I'm guessing.
Tanner does better playing off a striker than beside one, I think.
Having said that, it took Bowman a while to make his mark, so no reason Tanner can't step up the same way.
If you read the Sun expecting any kind of quality journalism, prepare for disappointment.
Bottom feeders owned by one of the nastiest human beings on the planet.
Again, just based from comments earlier in the season, I think Frear and Bigi were lined up for regular first team starts and Tanner was going to be favoured ahead of Bowman (who Robinson said came into the pre-season as 4th choice striker).
The problem for all those guys is that we have been picking up points without them. I'd still like to see more of them, though.
The comments from Robinson the past few months seem to imply that Bigi isn't consistent enough. Although you could argue he needs more game time to get that consistency.
Of course, given that we are just guessing about players coming and going, it might be nothing to do with him.
Having heard the club's perpsective on the red card appeal I completey agree with it. In particular regarding helping Cedirc move on and focus on the upcoming games. I'm sure we'll cope without him next July in our first group game against Albion Rovers.
Aye, Fir Park is a decent size - it just feels smaller because of how close the stands are to the playing surface.
Plus our slope is bigger - so our players probably expend more energy running up and down that than they did running that extra 5 yards at Hampden!
