craig 5,199 Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 PS I'm glad that everyone looks like they are trying to be objective. It would be a futile exercise otherwise. We have to continue to keep our blue tinted specs off on this one. Absolutely. If we aren't objective then it is pointless. Plus.... we have the MAYBE column for the biased incidents :fish: Just wait till the first OF game and we will see how objective we are though...... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
juffery 0 Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 I watched the game on Saturday and my opinion is : 1. Bougherra - was definitely ball to hand. Hearts player struck it, Bougherra turned away from it and also had hjis arms close to his body. Struck his arm - definitely not a penalty. For our purposes I would put it in the MAYBE column 2. Wallace should definitely have been sent off as it was a clear goal-scoring opportunity. Miller was half way through striking the ball when Wallace tackled him from behind. 100% against us. Aside from that the game passed off pretty much without incident ! Gribz & Calscot - Re these indecisive ones (ala the handball incidents on Sunday) I would suggest we have 3 items - we have FOR, AGAINST and MAYBE (or something similar). Then we also have the points affected by the decisions (but I think we should EXCLUDE any in the maybe column as by definition they could go either way). I think that would have us sorted on this. We should combine your post above Gribz (week 1 for, against, week 2 for against etc etc) with the points affected Example Week 1 FOR'S: Rangers (v Falkirk) 0-1 Celtic (v St Mirren) (JVoH penalty - could argue the sending off went for them too as it shouldnt have been a red card) AGAINST: Rangers 0-0 Celtic MAYBE FOR: Rangers 0-0 Celtic MAYBE AGAINST: Rangers 0-1 Celtic (JVoH pulled down by keeper, ball going out of play) POINTS GAINED : Rangers 0-2 Celtic Week 2 FOR'S: Rangers (v Hearts) 0-2 Celtic (v Dundee Utd) (non D Utd penalty &manhandling) AGAINSTS: Rangers 0-0 Celtic MAYBE FOR: Rangers 1-2 Celtic (Bougherra handball, Caldwell handball twice) MAYBE AGAINST: Rangers 1-0 Celtic (Hearts player should have been sent off for pulling Miller down for penalty) POINTS GAINED : Rangers 0-1 Celtic Total: FOR'S: Rangers 0-3 Celtic AGAINSTS: Rangers 0-0 Celtic MAYBE FOR : Rangers 1-2 Celtic MAYBE AGAINST: Rangers 1-1 Celtic POINTS GAINED : Rangers 0-3 Celtic This way everything is on one email and we should be good regarding what happened when, will keep memory fresh too. I'm going to employ an analyst to provide reports on this thread!! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig 5,199 Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 Well well well...... You can chalk up two points lost by us due to a terrible call from a linesman. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

craig 5,199 Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 Fully expecting Celtic to win today we will be on the same points as them - but when you look, after just THREE games, how many points have been gifted to them and robbed from us, you can see why it will be a struggle to win the league !! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super_Ally 0 Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 May not have cost us any points yesterday but still think the Cousin sending off should go in here. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
