oot_the_loop Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 Old Old Firm levels of 'ah but, what about-tery'. I thought we were all better than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russ Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 Absolutely fucking delighted that a ban could be headed Joe McKee’s way tbh.Any chance the Pars fans could complain about Alex Harris next? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoBNob Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 Where would you stand about someone who is mocked due to losing his hair because he has alopecia? As someone with alopecia it's not nearly comparable to mocking someone over a disability tbh. People willingly go bald, I don't think any would willingly lose their sight in an eye.

Jimmy85 Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 I really believe that I’m the only football fan on the planet who isn’t a total hypocrite. We had Falkirk fans incandescent with rage when someone dared to laugh at Sibbalds barnet while simultaneously making light of the Shiels abuse.

McLean was the ref. In the photo of O'Hara pointing at his' eye in front of Shiels he's looking right at him. Granted it may not have clicked at the time and maybe he realised what he was doing afterwards, as with the angle of the photo you could say from where McLean was standing it may have appeared that O'Hara was pointing at his head in the known "you're a fucking nutcase" sign.

Photo? Where is this? Not that a photo proves much. This whole thing is very odd. If they are guilty of excessive misconduct whilst on the pitch and it is the referee who has drawn attention to it then I don't understand: 1 - Why he didn't take any action at the time. 2 - Why they have waited over a month to take the further action. The teams meeting again this week doesn't really wash. So what? They will meet again another twice before the season ends too. If anything that's more reason to deal with it before the game. These sort of things are difficult at the best of times. If it's verbal abuse then the cameras are unlikely to have caught it unless it was right at the touchline nearest the filming. That means it depends on witness statements and puts team mates in the equation as the only "neutral" is the referee, unless it was also in earshot of one of the other officials.

Obviously the ref couldn't see or hear anything at that distance. *or maybe he was turning a blind eye? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
