(Belatedly!j Well at least Crawford Baptie has something to fall back on since his playing and car selling careers are over!

Corrrect - that’s an urban myth!

Can you see Hendry’s feet?

I think his finger wagging at the ref bought him that card!

The foul, if it was, on Linlithgow’s 7 was just outside the box. I was very close to it and was screaming penalty at the time, but having seen the vid have changed my view.

At the time, from a distance, I wondered about that possible pen for Rovers, but the vid suggests it was just a coming together of feet, no foul, no dive. I was close to the Linlithgow shout and thought it was a pen, but viewing now it may have been a foul, but just outside the box. And perhaps the Rose 7 did try to make sure the ref saw it as a foul or pen. As for the offside/goal/offside oh dear!

Blackburn's pitch is already off for tonight and tomorrow!

It's off. Just 4 games (from 29) in all 4 divisions still on. At the moment...

Hibs equaliser - offside perhaps?!?

Prior to 2007/08, the big teams used to come in from round 3. That season saw the start of expansion, with 4 Junior teams then being added and thereafter Prem teams have been round 4 on (so 15 years). Recent further expansions saw prelim rounds added at the start, to whittle down the numbers. QOS was indeed round 4 in that first expanded season.

Apart from Stowe not being booked for kicking the ball away, prior to receiving the headbutt, I’m struggling to see the bizarre decisions Penicuik’s manager is referring to. Anyone who was there illuminate us?

This article says the 6 are VAR’s, with no mention of being used for general coverage, but frankly I don’t care either way. Saw Liverpool 21 times last season and as a fan in the ground detest VAR! But the Scottish Clubs voted it in and pay for the minimal camera coverage up here, so it’s here, probably to stay. Fan protests and suggested boycott are pointless.

The FPS thing is why the English widened the line drawn, to minimise that possible error. Presumably the Scottish lines are of a similar width?

VAR cameras are not being used for general coverage, rather broadcaster cameras are used to enhance VAR’S view. That’s how it was described on the BBC programme a few weeks ago.

There are not many £6.5m transfers that see additional payments after a single game

The direction of the ball is not taken into account in deciding offside, so yes!

It’s fixed now!

In Scotland, club assistants only flag for ball out of play at the side, nothing else and not even which side gets the throw. Ref must have decided to go without that help.

Or not ever?!?

It’s purely down to availability. Even with the Premier, there was a shortfall yesterday and I know of at least one game that went without. I understand fees have gone up this season, but given an amateur game pays around 50% more than the Linos get and they’re not there an hour before kick off (as is usually seen) this may not a temporary thing!

Pope's injury took 90 seconds - the ball went out for the final corner just short of 96:30. Also during stoppage time, Joelinton twice kicked the ball away after Newcastle conceded free kicks. Time for the corner to be taken was therefore completely appropriate.

Not at all - Popes injury / attempt to run the clock down, along with other time wasting (during stoppage time) saw a reasonable amount of time added!

Not lazy - he was born in Portugal, played for Benfica, moved to England when 11 years old, played for England's 16s, 17s & 18s, before picking up 4 Portugal 21s caps this year. I think that again makes him Portuguese, but could be wrong.
