Honestly you just dont know player for player know is going to turn up week to week. Correct, again there are not enough words in the dictionary to describe the utter dugshite we dished up again. The sending off was horrific but our play was eye bleeding stuff and the sending off will deflect from that. I left when Casey got sent off as I couldn't stomach watching anymore of that utter shite. Was possibly even worse than the RC, Hibs, and St Mirren games. The rest of the league must be truly horrific when we are sitting 4th. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
santheman Posted December 20 Report Share Posted December 20 I'm guessing the ref realised he had made an utter cock up of the red card after looking at the monitor and didn't have the balls to admit his mistake.so took the easy way out by farting about for 60 seconds to make it look as if he was correct. He should be refereeing in the Amateurs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said earlier in the thread for two professional teams to serve a game like that up is an embarrassment,sadly there's 10 teams in the league that all want too play the same way,kick it as far away from your own goal as possible and hope to capitalise on a mistake at the other end,there's zero enjoyment watching us at the minute.even miller seems to be happy to just chip the ball forward into space now rather than keep it and find a team mate like he was doing earlier in the season.

Welly Machine Posted December 20 Report Share Posted December 20 Wasn't the best from us tonight and can't really complain with a point given how the game went. From the Cooper it looked like Casey just shoved Armstrong, not happy with the tackle. At first I thought the referee had flashed the red at Armstrong. For him to stick with it when VAR had highlighted he had made a Bertie Blunt of it was mental. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wellfan Posted December 20 Report Share Posted December 20 Dreadful game, although the draw was probably a fair result, and yet again even more dreadful officiating. It's been said before, but people will stop spending their good money only to have their entertainment ruined by over-promoted amateurs and arrogant incompetents. Apologies from Collum won't cut it any longer. Chris Graham should never be allowed to referee another top level game in Scotland. Only action such as that will demonstrate to the clubs and fans that the SFA is actually trying to improve officiating standards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Wispy Flossy Posted December 20 Report Share Posted December 20 Tony watt couldn’t lace TJ’s boots. Bizarre he started before him.

Big Wispy Flossy Posted December 20 Report Share Posted December 20 Ps I’m sure Chris Graham was the ref who didn’t know whether a cup tie went straight to penalties or not. He’s easily the worst I’ve seen this season. Red card and penalty apart, stopping play for virtually no reason time after time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should be refereeing in the Amateurs. It felt like the whole middle section of the POD stand was giving him pelters when he was checking the monitor, the way he had been officiating the game I wasn't surprised when he struck to his guns but it is truly an horrific decision. Kettlewell said earlier in the day that he has been apologised to numerous times as they have made an arse of decisions 3 times in 5 games recently, but this evenings was something else.

Totally baffling stuff and another black mark against VAR for me... Less said about Killies penalty appeal, the better. I can understand why he wouldn't change his mind. He wanted to show he was in charge and had to save face. What about our penalty claim when Stama's shirt was almost ripped off his back as he tried to run onto a pass?

Mintymac Posted December 21 Report Share Posted December 21 Ok let’s get the overall discussion of the game first . Imo lucky to get a point , poor spectacle , Killie worked hard for there point and could have won it 2nd half . Then the sending off . WTF . Seriously that was ridiculous/embarrassing. No matter how you try to analyse that if that’s a sending of then OMG might be time to Chuck it . If that’s not overturned 😳. To be given a chance to correct his decision then stick to his guns is beyond ridiculous. Who is this guy . Is he actually a referee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grizzlyg Posted December 21 Report Share Posted December 21 Let's not kid anyone, that was brutal and a draw probably right. But......one of worst performances by ref I have ever seen, a possible 2 pens for killie but the Red card beggars belief, if no VAR you can say its a mistake but fact he is asked to go and look at it AND still thinks that's a red card is embarrassing. Killie brutal and fact polworth and Armstrong involved in key moments sums it up. I never agree with booing forner players but with polworth I have no issues....horrible character who showed more pace celebrating than he did in 2 years with us. But....we got a point with 10 men , could have been worse...COYW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmcalpin Posted December 21 Report Share Posted December 21 I won't comment on the refereeing as thats been well covered elsewhere. A share of the points was about right. We took an early lead and as the game wore on SK decided to sit in and hold our lead. Big mistake as we simply don't have the midfielders or defenders to play like that. Everyone could see the Killie goal coming long before it did. I couldn't fault our starting line up but as half time approached it became obvious that Tony Watt and Stama weren't working up front. Playing a long ball game against a big physical team was never going to end well. Things deteriorated even further when Paton left the fray (understandably given his lack of fitness). It was a big mistake to bring on the anonymous Davor and not bring on Manwhanise earlier. That simply signalled our intention to pack our penalty box in a throw back to Graham Alexander's reign. I thought both wing/full backs, Kaleta and Wilson, were hung out to dry and suffered a roasting. One effort on target and 2 corners all night tell their own story. 2 points needlessly dropped. If we absolutely must play this type of game then lets get in the appropriate bodies to do it effectively. As they say in boxing "A good big 'un will always beat a good little 'un". Stephen Robinson will happily provide SK with advice. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If VAR ask the ref to review, they obviously think he's got it wrong so why not just tell him that, it's not a red card and get on with it, as if he ignores the VAR advice what's the point of them being there., Scottish football is fecked if that's how we are proceeding.
