No, it wasn't Rangers great win away at Easter Road and our imperious march towards the title, or plucky Celtic getting their first win of the year against bottom of the table Hamilton, or indeed Motherwell getting their first win in ages in the relegation battle away at Ross County or even St Mirren's remarkable 5 goals at Tannadice. Nope, none of those things, for some reason those stories are of secondary importance. I'm guessing that it was this: http://www.photoshelter.com/img-get/I0000qBW2OLU5Siw/s/800 This "stamp" by McGregor on Kamara was, if anything, worse than that alleged against Morelos. Clancy seemed to have taken the view that both were accidental. Morelos, if you look at any replay, is focused on the ball. Nevertheless, there will be a witch hunt, against him. Indeed it commenced last night, in the sour dough ferment of the SKY commentary box. The incident that should have resulted in a dismissal, of course, was Porteous' "tackle" in the first or second minute, which was reckless, and endangered his opponent.

der Berliner 3,220 Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 As I said elsewhere, intentional or not, Alfredo hit the guy on the ground, so it was at least reckless. In Scotland that would probably mean a yellow card (given what you get away with elsewhere). Same with the above, methinks McGregor first rugby-tackled Kamara t the ground, than stood on his leg. Reckless again, yellow. Be that as it may, I would expect that should the CO come out of hiding and charges Alfredo, we SHOULD demand similar action for other tackles previously unpunished. Sideonte: is there any other country in Europe that has such a post-match shadow cabal punishment institution? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clare Whyte has finished up and hasn't been replaced You are correct, Clerr left her position last Friday. Her current employers are the Scottish Government. According to this morning's Daily Record(printers of ra Sellik View and match programme), a three person panel of former top Referees and players convened this morning to decide upon retrospective action for both Morelos and McGregor. Wouldn't it be simpler if Michael Stewart was given the job? He could begin Sportscene each week, announcing the punishment handed down to Morelos and Rangers. Then, he could explain his reasoning, utilising the national broadcaster's specific visual aides, and conclude by reaffirming his admiration of the Green Brigade(a big knowing wink straight to camera). Ah mean, Michael is doing most of the work, he should be remunerated for it. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

26th of foot 5,825 Posted January 29, 2021 Author Share Posted January 29, 2021 (edited) Aesthetically Pleasing. It's a thing of beauty, easy on the eye, just aesthetically pleasing. Of course, I'm talking about Alfie's goal at Easter Road on Wednesday evening. It begins with Morelos a yard from the Hibs corner flag, he passes back up the line to an advancing Tav', and he lays off inside to Jack. Ryan looks up and sees a retreating Steve Davis and when the Northern Irishman receives the ball, he reverse passes to a waiting Aribo on the eighteen yard line. Joe is facing the ball, back to goal, his peripheral vision notes Alfie off to his left and he reverses the ball with one touch from the outside of his left foot. Morelos does not break stride, he steps on to the ball and sweeps past the Hibs keeper at his near post. The goal is the epitome of rapier like penetration. It has added lustre, three Hibees are left lying on the turf. Boy wonder, Ryan Porteous is on his arse, Hanlon is prostrate, and Marciano is getting there, having dived after the ball hits the net. Indeed, for those of us wearing blue tinted glasses, a worthy match winner of a goal. The PQ Gang Hut were initially too busy feasting on their oft served cerebrally hatred of all things Rangers. Morelos is the Devil and Irvine Welsh is the Lord of the Flies. Machetes are being wielded and hungry seagulls await at the four corners of the Leithers' globe ie Newhaven, Portobello, Muirhouse, and Port Seton. Pieces of 'Sticky Bun' are on the menu. Morelos is guilty, they all said it, several times. Who the fcuk is McGregor and what did he do? The goal passed under the radar, well apart from the bit where the guy that notched, should NOT have been on the pitch to score. Gersnetters will not be surprised to find one BBC Radio Scotland panelist, Michael Stewart returned the discussion on three different occasions to the Buff's winner. Immediately after the strike, Michael was unsure in being sure, "there's a mishit pass, it's a bit fortunate". At the end of the game, he returned with, "it's a mishit, a deflection off a Hibs player, and Morelos looked offside". He qualified by adding, "ah need to see it back". Thirty minutes on and he started, "I've not seen a replay, but that goal ........"? It was third time unlucky for Mikey, Big Dick stepped in and took him through it. Morelos was a yard and a half onside because of Porteous, there was no bobble nor deflection, to say otherwise would be to detract from a good goal. Mikey finished with, "as said, ah need to see it back". Sportscene arrived before midnight and again, Alfie was guilty. They also showed McGregor rag dolling Kamara on to the track, before standing on his calf. Chris Iwelumo found McGregor guilty too. Then, wee Jonathon, Shelley Kerr, and big Chris went on to pay true homage to an exquisite Morelos goal. Get in step Mikey?

Devil's advocaat 1,275 Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 He should never be near a tv camera again, spent most of the time looking at his shoes, mumbling, frowning, and zero insight or deeper analysis into any of the games. At least our host managed to hide his disappointment at his teams further demise. McFadden is a dour wee bastard anaw. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
the gunslinger 3,366 Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 was nice of them to have 3 celtc fans on for us to laugh at. O'Donnell should be taken to task on BBC impartiality basis. He couldn't even pretend. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
