I'm using Jake Carroll's Livingston case as a baseline, where the referee and/or assistant referee saw the incident at the time and gave him a yellow card. The Compliance Officer then saw fit to reopen the case and upgrade it to a red. Whats the difference? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donaldo87 Posted August 20, 2019 Report Share Posted August 20, 2019 Believe it the ref agrees they got it wrong then the booking can be upgraded. But as they make it up as they go along then who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems to be based entirely on sportscene highlights package and pundits picking out certain incidents to highlight. Frankly I am amazed nothing more is said or done about this. I honestly wonder whether Jake Carolls foul and yellow card would have been looked at had Sportscene not highlighted the incident in slowmo and given their views on it being a straight red. Which it was by the way.. But it is almost VAR in reverse. Not seen or not highlighted = not reviewed. Not a conspiracy against Motherwell just a very questionable process that lacks any kind of transparency Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a conspiracy against Motherwell just a very questionable process that lacks any kind of transparency I agree it lacks transparency, but the whole "just what they show on Sportscene" is well past its sell-by date - by their very nature, those are just the ones you hear most about. If it was Sportscene only, anybody outside the Premiership could do what they liked with no chance of being disciplined. As far as I know there is an official observer at every senior game that is watching the refereeing decisions (and missed decisions) - all without the aid of a camera.

As far as I know there is an official observer at every senior game that is watching the refereeing decisions (and missed decisions) - all without the aid of a camera. The whole thing is a lottery. Sportscene certainly plays a part by selecting which incidents to highlight and make an issue of. But incidents they highlight are not always picked up by the Compliance Officer. From memory a Rangers player being kicked in the head by a Kilmarnock player and a Celtic player (Simunovic?) getting off with a forearm to the face of a Hibs player. Observers also have a role to play, but how impartial are they if it is one of their mates officiating ( or in the case of Andrew Dallas ,the son of a mate)? I would also question whether an observer would be more likely to question an inexperienced referee's judgement rather than that of a more senior official. The old boy network if you like determining the harshness of any official report. But out of curiosity.... and I genuinely can't recall any..... can anybody give examples of lower league players being cited for incidents that happened in non televised games. Particularly where a referee issued a yellow card. if there are none or very few in comparison to Premier League referrrals then that would suggest that either there are no violent tackles in those matches or that TV coverage plays a major role in any decisions to refer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly if you search for "was not seen", they're pretty much all Premiership games. Thanks for the link. Quite revealing. So under " Was not seen" every incident in the past 18 months deemed worthy of suspension has been SPL and mostly involving offences against Celtic. Either the lower league referees are eagle eyed/shit hot or the official observer is not doing any referrals. Kind of brings us back to the trial by television angle being supported by hard facts. Now that the Championship is featured each week on the new BBC channel can we look forward to more citings from those games? Time will tell. I do think Caroll merited a red card, but so do many other incidents involving players of every team. The difference? Michael Stewart and Steven Thompson bumping their gums on Sportscene....and the teams involved. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fizoxy Posted August 20, 2019 Report Share Posted August 20, 2019 Going to be all over the papers tomorrow now that you’ve leaked that. If this link works it should show all the out of contract strikers on transfermrkt. I would like us to sign Norbert Balogh and Walter for their names. Norbert is also the tallest in the list. https://www.transfermarkt.us/spieler/vertragslosespieler/statistik/1/plus//galerie/0?ausrichtung=Sturm&spielerposition_id=14&land_id=alle&altersklasse=&wettbewerb_id=alle&seit=2019&yt0=Show Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya Bezzer! Posted August 21, 2019 Report Share Posted August 21, 2019 I said at the end of last season we needed two centre backs in. If we want to improve Dunne and Hartley aren't good enough, end of story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superward Posted August 21, 2019 Report Share Posted August 21, 2019 Wouldn't be surprised to see Hartley leave this window to seek game time. So the Hendry interest might not be that far off the mark to plug a gap and challenge Dunne. That's on the assumption Robinson doesn't think Devine is ready for that and MaGuire is earmarked for defensive mid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steelboy Posted August 21, 2019 Report Share Posted August 21, 2019 I doubt he is signing Hendry to replace Dunne in the team. If we bring in Hendry then we'll be back to 3-5-2 faster than you can say Earn The Right to Play. Hendry on his own merits would be a decent signing. Young, Scottish, athletic and the potential to improve. I'd rather have a centre forward though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superward Posted August 21, 2019 Report Share Posted August 21, 2019 I thought Hendry looked quite good at Dundee. Didnt think he was good enough to make it at Celtic, also was ridiculous he got called up to the Scotland squad. But, I think he would be fine at our level.
