RST Calls For Dundee United Boycott

[pete 2,499]

It was funny how Scotsport spent a lot of time on the discussion yesterday. With the Celtic decisions it was the ref got it wrong and then quickly on to the next set of highlights. John Colquhoun, Who i considered one of the more balanced pundits, even went so far as to say he couldn't be sure Mr McCurry was not cheating.

 

And how about this link on the STV sport website. It opens up a story about the Boruc tee-shirt incident. The headline would be about Boruc you would think.

Well you would be wrong the headline is:

 

Grant's Stand

"1) He was 'at it' and is a diving, cheating, low life heid the ba, or 2) He is a professional footballer who merely tried to ensure an advantage..."

Is Kevin Thomson a cheat?

 

An easy mistake to make.

I thought Scotsport was a complete stitch up of Rangers, who have done absolutely nothing wrong.

 

The was no mention of, and the highlights did not show, the Barry Ferguson claim for a penalty nor the incorrect offside where Novo was one on one with the keeper. Surely they are talking points and also relevant to impartiality of the officials?

 

Rangers seem to get stitched up every time and we've had about four big decisions against us in the last two Celtic games which have been crucial to our chances of winning the league, but they have not been discussed either.

 

The "pundits" were horrendously unbalanced and indeed, unintelligent last night, both were on a rant against Rangers.

 

Do these guys understand football and refereeing? McCurry has explained himself very well and even a slomo replay of the deflected goal, from the angle of the linesman, it looks like the Utd player played it.

 

You can only argue these incidents with the benefit of multiple replays which the refs do not have access to during the game. They called as they seen it, but it's getting harder to call decisions in the split second these days. The new offside rule is virtually impossible to call at times and diving is a huge problem, so you can't give a penalty unless you actually see the infringement.

 

These mistakes have been made since football started in the 19th century, and if you don't understand that then you are not qualified to talk about football to the nation.

What are Dundee Utd going to sue the SFA for? Anyone with the slightest clue about civil law can see they haven't got the slightest case, and indeed could be open to being sued themselves by Mike McCurry for slander.

 

It is no wonder we have been stitched by the SPL when the member clubs are being run by self-centred, petulant, spoiled children.

 

The only thing they can achieve is getting all Scottish clubs kicked out of Europe as UEFA don't allow teams from countries whose FA is in litigation by a member club - like almost happened to Portugal, and maybe that's what they want to do.

 

There is even the fact that these decisions are unlikely to affect Dundee Utd's season in the slightest. They never looked like winning the game and even a draw looked unlikely. But even so, Motherwell are well placed in third in the league.

 

However, they have to learn to take decisions against them on the chin instead of throwing the toys out of the pram. Rangers have done this all season despite the false perception that we get all the breaks.

 

Rangers may get more slightly dodgy penalties than most as we are in the opposition box more than most - however, the flip side of the same coin is we are turned down for good penalty claims far more than most.

 

No-one is saying you can't complain about a bad decision but for club officials to go into apoplexy and accuse everyone and his dog of conspiring against them is beyond the pale.

 

Dundee Utd should now be known for infamy - "Infamy, infamy, they all have it in fo' me!"

PS I just can't believe how much of a laughing stock the SPL have been this season.
