Was at Hospital park yesterday to see Crichton versus Creetown. Aptly named as some of players could have ended up in hospital with some x-rated challenges flying about. Not their fault. Main official was poor. Did nothing to discourage bad tackles. The players will think this is the norm and expect to get away with it. Let's keep the physicality in the game; the game would be poorer without it! Let's not have players being sent off left, right and centre either! But let's have officials who understand what is acceptable and what is not and who have the balls to bring the game to a halt when it is justified. If I was a manager or a coach I wouldn't be ringing the main official at Crichton yesterday to referee my next game and protect my players!

He never got anything more because 99% of the time he won the ball. Never heard Crichton players or manager complaining about them after the game

The number 6 asked for his studs out of Big Adams Leg after the game!!

is the number 6 who i think it is ex newton,tarrf,fleet,saints player,once wore a tag but no a bad lad just a bit rough for the modern day player?

Two footed jumps at players a wee bit more than "bit rough"

is this little davidson boy were talking abowt... am sur big adam could squeeze out a bigger turd than him.

to be fair he ran crichton ragged at times i felt

its no wee sanny think its big barry.good player though if he keeps the head,played for ferrytoon last summer in sunday league

There were a few "x-rated" tackles the night from the Crichton players, Marc McGinley ended up in hospital

Stanky, Kerr or Johnstone per chance?

Think the takle in question was by the captain(had an arm band on) wasnae a bad tackle but did catch the boy

Was wearing number 6 if that helps?? Wasn't Johnstone, think it was 1 of the other 2 tho

Clarke i have been told and it wasnae a bad challenge mate.............he did catch the boy but not a bad challenge

He was next on my list. Personally I dont like the way the Crichton play with the 3 midfield spoilers but it does work.

tbh Hoss, I didn't have a good view of it, but from what I've heard it wasn't a bad challenge, Marky's orite tho, bruised his bone and will be out for 2-3 weeks

Christ there was bad challenges from both sides.... hope McGinley is ok tho.
Difference tonight was that the attackers were nipping in front that shade quicker making potential good challenges look that little bit worse.

2 of those "midfield spoilers" scored from open play by filling the box so you maybe being a bit harsh there mate.

Maybe, but there not exactly briming with nice touches and passes.

You'd be suprised.. Stankys improved massivly on the ball.

Come watch them over the course of the year...then make a comment!!!
I played alongside Stanky when at Dumfries.... But the progress he has made is excellent since then.

3 years ago I was at nearly ever Crichton game, he is a spoiler. Nothing wrong with that, just personally would not play him Kerr and Clark.
