Who's name rhymes with comma? This must be a clue

Are we at the stage where people can start dropping hints in the form of puns? I love when folks get all pissy about that.

Well here's a list of managers with premiership experience.

He'd probably have to take a pay cut to come here.

Streamlining the management of the game is a must. The ratio of administrators to players must be frickin ridiculous! We also need to streamline the number of teams we have, and these decisions need to be made with the good of the game in mind, where "the game" is the sport of football and not the SPL. That's why we need some outsider to get involved, as we need some logical, impartial, thinking. I think it would be beneficial in the long-term if we lost our TV deal altogether. Then we really have to start from scratch, instead of trying to patch things up to keep the money coming in.

Who were the papers' favourites when McGhee and Gannon were appointed? Ian McCall? Owen Coyle?

We used to get 10k at old firm games, and a fair few away fans from Hearts, Hibs and Aberdeen. Chances are the dip in home support isn't as dramatic as the change in away support. There's also the kick-off times, cost, dick head stewards, TV, and the fact that it's shite.

You need to queue up one at a time to get in, otherwise it crashes. It's the website equivalent to newsagents and schoolkids at lunchtime.

It's just one game, and is Jennings under investigation? I missed that bit.

We now know that he was sent of for foul and abusive language. So, what could he have said that provoked such a reaction, considering players always seem to be swearing at refs on the telly? All the sweary words are kind of normal now, other than count, so did he say that? I think nethertonwellfan's (I think it was him, searching takes too long ) "I am going to rape you and your family" is the best suggestion so far, but was wondering if there were any other suggestions. Or did he just question the ref's integrity? They don't like that.

I heard Jeffries swear twice on the telly.

I reckon if you could scroll down in that BBC pic you'd find the ref had a boner.

Everything Kevin Kyle does is a foul. He should get booked for looking like himself.

I don't care about the result, Hearts deserved to win as far as I'm concerned, they looked the more dangerous team. The Liverpool connection is worrying, and if it wasn't for that I don't think anyone would be considering that Jenno was involved.

I've seen these kind of things before, it usually turns out to be someone completely different who you would never have suspected at the start. Jenno or the ref are too obvious, bad TV. Seriously though, I'd be sick if our guy was involved, but would fucking love it if the ref was in on it.

Sky Sports News 8/1? No bad considering the way the game was going, and with Craigan and Jenno already on yellows!

If it was a case of the player being responsible for this, he must have been red carded for verbals, because there's no way he touched the ref with the intention of getting himself sent off. I wouldn't agree that he looked like he was trying to get red carded from the start though, he put in a badly mis-timed challenge early in the game, but stayed on his feet on many occasions when he could have went in and got the second booking.

Ha, I just thought WTiD was making a shite joke!

Sorry, that was me. I could see it coming a mile off.

That's what it looks like to me, in addition to them being utterly shite. Referees and officials have their moments in all leagues and sports, but nothing quite matches the incompetence of Scottish refs. Part of that must come down to them being part-timers, and another factor would be who'd actually want to train to be a referee anyway? I'm not going to spend the time googling the refereeing system, but I assume that these guys have to go though years of refereeing amateur games and the like, so fair play to those who manage to find their way through the system and get to the top, but they must be kind of jaded by the time they get there! So I have every respect for the guys who went through all that shit so that they can eventually officiate glamour ties like Motherwell v St Mirren, but they do get paid to do a job and if they make huge mistakes on live TV they should get bloody reamed for it, none of this closing ranks pish.

I don't have any problems with Calderwood either, he's an experienced manager who has done reasonably well in all of his previous positions. A lot of the guys mentioned were available or could have been pursued when McGhee, Gannon, and Brown were appointed, so I think the board already know the limitations or Hughes, McPherson et al. However, I'm worried that standards may drop a little to try and bring a bit of stability.

Can everyone take out the offending page, burn it and hit it with their shoes? It would be great if we could over react to middle eastern proportions.

Easy one. See when Alex Ferguson left, did they complain about it on the internet?

"A club who not too long ago, were trumping all that come before us in both Europe and domestic competition. " Sums it up for me.
