Said at the game yesterday Butcher should have gone, thus not about to stick up for the challenge. But I've often have the thought that once the game is over, there is no point in taking action retrospectively.
The game was well covered, and the incident highlighted to a great extent thereafter. What about matches which aren't quite so high profile, where similar or worse incidents occur? I'm sure many of us can think of such occurrences, perhaps where the victim is actually incapacitated for weeks or months.
Probably not a view which will bring much support, but in this case the game was televised live and challenge was made hugely prominent by the media.
During the closed door era last season, I watched a live stream of a top league mach where a player was booked for a dreadful challenge which put an opponent out for 10 matches, but because it was an inconspicuous occasion for most football fans, there was no follow up.
To summarise, the Scottish game is governed by a set of rules, and I'm not comfortable with an extra level being added in due to the ranking, in the minds of the media and SFA, of the clubs.
The challenge is a shocker and the guy has plenty of previous. It needs dealt with.

Longstaff has some technical ability and can be a tidy player but he wants a fucking age on the ball which he needs to learn quickly he ain’t getting that in this league.
Aside from that he doesn’t seem particularly creative, doesn’t have a great deal of energy or running and doesn’t appear to offer anything defensively.
Apart from that, good signing.

The state of those finances for one major trophy since 2012. While the majority don't seem too bothered because 'Terry Munro' didn't happen.
All seems pretty positive to me tbh.

I'm surprised to see anything but positivity here.
Since Cormack went on Sportsound and shouted at Kenny McIntyre you've barely put a foot wrong as far as I can see.
Some, not all, would say losing 3 games in a row was a bad move.

Ok
Sakalas goal against Motherwell at Ibrox was a shocking decision. Probably the worst of the lot
Sakalas penalty against Aberdeen was soft. It was a penalty but it’s the sort of challenge defenders get away with.
You seem a little unhinged.

A season so bad it has turned Falkirk fans, the King's and Queens of delusion and crowd wankery into rational football fans. Now THAT is some season!
That’s a statement not a question.

So she knows it would be a unpopular decision if restrictions do come back. Don’t do it then.
A woman who is entirely too comfortable with putting restrictions on peoples lives.
The idea that this stuff should be last resort is long gone.

Dead last is equally accurate but more appropriate.

Griffiths does not look in a good place. So disappointing to see his career go this way.

If we had been as clinical with taking chances as we were today in other games this season when we have given goals away, we would be sitting on a far higher points total. I really couldn’t give a shit if we gift two goals a game, as long as we score three or four ourselves.
On a simplistic note, if Hearts and United both lose tomorrow, we will be four points off fourth and six points off third on the same games played.
This is a nice sentiment but history tells you teams with this approach are not successful.

Incredible editing of the Aberdeen v St Mirren match. Nothing seen of the fantastic double save by Alnwick from Hedges, and no sign of either of the two St Mirren penalty claims.
If they showed them they’d have to talk about them and that’s a lot of effort.

I have to say I’m struggling to see what’s controversial about wanting us to look a bit more solid at the back.

What do people actually want from Glass?
Because, if it's a team which has the same attacking threat and plays the same quality of football from middle to front as we have seen over the last two games, but is also unbelievably solid at the back and doesn't give away virtually any chances, I think they are going to be disappointed.
I get your point but the balance is if the style of play prevents you from consistently getting results then it needs to change.

Ha. I actually thought Marley hung Hayes out to dry a bit in the second half. Was a bit lazy tracking his man and left Hayes against two several times.
They maybe need a fair run of games together but I can't say I'd be hoping to see the pair of them line up together next season.
Aberdeen won today, playing very good football. Maybe next week we can go back to keeping it tight at the back and playing it long to the big man in the channels.
Bob has a point though. Today was a good day for glass but the challenge is to get it consistently. On another day we don’t score two quickfire goals and st Mirren take one of their early chances.
It’s still 6 wins out of 17 in the league which Is a very poor return.
There is something about what glass wants to do but if we don’t sort ourselves out defensively it’ll be worthless.

I did say if we're as clinical.
Fair.
I mean, if we replaced Ramirez with lewandowski and hedges with messi then I’m cool with it.
Marley obviously stays.

I mentioned it yesterday but when we're on it going forward then we're really fucking good.
Happy to sacrifice chances at the back if we're going to be as clinical as that going forward.
Hmm not so sure. Days like today are great but you play so open every week and the law of averages determines that results will be erratic at best.

We've played decent stuff in many games this season, but that counts for nothing if you're not winning games.
Tbf I’m a fucking hypocrite as so have we and I’ve still been in despair over Stephen glass

Admittedly commenting from afar but seems a bit harsh on Goodwin?
He’s out together a bit bad side, you played some decent stuff at times today.
