Bluedell

I'm fairly sure we can't afford Shankland and I'd be stunned if we signed him.

I thought McCausland had a really poor first half apart from the goal but was excellent in the second. Big improvement.

I'm hearing that he's going to Torino.

2-0 Dessers

FFS. Do not only did he not know the IFAB interpretation, he's making things up 🙄

How do you know that?

The ref didn't decide it wasn't a penalty. How could be when he awarded a bye kick? He couldn't have seen the handball.

Did the SPFL not release the still to Sky? The cheating is the VAR. It was handball and surely nobody is denying that. The ref apparently didn't see it, hence the bye kick. VAR should therefore highlight that there was a handball and allow the ref to decide on whether it's a penalty. Surely it's the ref that should make that decision?

Let's ignore the IFAB rules because they're quoted by a journalist? 😂 I'm not sure of the relevance that it was accidental.

But dB's post suggests he's wrong, so maybe it should have been a penalty? I know we can become entrenched in our views on things like this but there's a strong argument to say it should have been given.

He may or may not have been in an offside position but either way, it's not clear.

As dB has pointed out, I believe that's incorrect.

Agreed. The number of bears saying it's not a penalty because it goes against their agenda of hating Dessers is unbelievable.

We're not great but that shouldn't be a reason for ignoring corrupt refereeing. Are we only allowed to highlight it when we play well?

They have to get the ref to look at it. He didn't see it as he didn't give the corner, so VAR has to get the ref to look at it, unless there's cheating involved.

1-1 Cantwell

Motherwell 0 - 1 Rangers Sima

So basically replace the whole team in January.

So why say "An entire new front 3. Left to right we are powderpuff as hell and not close to being good enough. That's priority for me."?

You think replacing Sima is a priority? Seriously? 😳

He's turned St Johnstone around. He may be old school but obviously that's what some teams need.

I didn't think Dowell played that well. McCausland did well but I'll go for Dessers as well. It was noticeable that the team started playing much further up the park as soon as he came on.

We need a forward. We can't only have Dessers playing in that position for 90 minutes every week. We can't rely on McCausland every week so having someone else on the right would also be good. We may need a midfielder depending on how long Raskin is out for.

Santa with the cup

Was Roofe definitely injured? Looked tactical. 🤷‍♂️
