  1. It brushes of Bairs upper arm, which took 5 minutes for the var people to figure out, and as such it is a blatant handball and he really should have been booked. Shinnie moved his arm towards the ball and hit it with his arm, slightly, but a bit more than Bair. Because he hit it harder it took var 30 seconds to decide it was not a handball, mainly because I think that means we have to pay the var guy overtime. f**k knows really. As far as the game goes, as poor as we were, we still had the chances to give VAR at least two more goals to chop off. I thought Miller had a poor game, probably because we told him he was the midfield and hung him out to dry. Was good to see us trust Ferrie and Wells and give them decent minutes. Hope we get to see them more. Not bringing Moses on against Aberdeen showed a distinct lack of Cinch.
  2. I remember that absolute freak show of a game, and reading text updates that came in in a weird order. We've had a bunch of crazy high scoring games over the years. 0-0
  3. Shame we can't make the top 6 with 4 draws. Seemed like the right way to do it this season. However, going on a tear and winning the next 4 games would be very funny. I'm saying nothing about Aberdeen until Saturday afternoon.
  4. My work is also paying me to have a fucked hamstring*. I only took one day off as well. Although they do let me sit down. Maybe I should feel bad for obika since he's a nice guy, but if it's an either/or, I'd rather we signed a total dick with working legs. Delighted for Bair, a real Canadian too. *which I pinged scoring a goal.
  5. Wait until we start showing Oli Shaw videos of Bergkamp.
  6. He is. Which makes me wonder why St. J were so nasty to him. I guess it's a farmer thing, they kill cute animals.
  7. Rangers missed a bunch of sitters, including 2 headers from crosses and a couple of easy balls over the top. We still put in a good defensive performance, but I wouldn't say it was any better than celtic, where Kelly just fell back on his arse because someone scared an easy goal that wasn't anywhere close to being his fault.
  8. After reviewing the incident, both in video footage and various still images, contrary to my opinion on Saturday, I now think this was a foul, and a red for mccausland. He probably isn't really injured either.
  9. Enjoyed the PPV, definitely one of the best all round PPVs in a while. The scramble match was pretty pointless, but wasnt terrible for what it was. The main event was a great send-off for sting. Shame to see the state flair is in, he was a weird shade of purple, but he and steamboat were fun additions that helped pace the match between the big spots. That glass deal was crazy. Osprey v Takeshita was immense. I've been PPV only for a while now, since I never have the time to watch the weekly show, and I like it that way, as I feel like I'm more into the PPV and matchups dont feel stale.
  10. Fair play to Casey for getting a few games in against Rangers before executing his plan to crock someone. If he did it every game someone might clock onto his plan. Seriously though, what a sad sad existence it must be to be that bitter and paranoid. I see some ex ref chimed in just to keep the fires of injustice burning.
  11. The session was good, and it's encouraging to see the plans that the current board have. There's a lot for them to cover, so I like the idea of getting others involved in the work streams. My only issue coming out of the session was that some of the issues raised need to be handled by the club- like raising match day revenues, recruiting new fans, budgeting, brand, etc. Increasing the society's presence on the executive board as planned (and maybe one day having a CEO) will hopefully help that.
  12. A real lack of respect there This was very well put together, these are always pretty cool.
  13. I love the line about respect in there. It's definitely a one way thing when it comes to the old firm. It's nice to know that the likes of helicopter Sunday and the playoffs will endure in the minds of OF fans and keep their piss at a steady boil.
  14. I don't want anything to do with the relegation fight, and do want us to get as much money as possible, so top 6 for me. We play against the teams we're competing with for that spot, so as tricky as it will be, it's pretty much in our own hands.
  15. If that Dan Casey challenge is what the rangers fans are going to hang their hat on (no doubt with a bunch of out of context still images) then that's just a shame. Absolutely nothing in it, just like the penalty. Was Bair booked for being too big? Goodson bouncing off him and greeting about it was funny. Same with the fanny that SOD jedi waved to the ground. Desperate stuff. Thought we managed our subs well for once, with Nicholson doing a good job of keeping the ball, and halliday offering some composure and experience.
  16. Get it right fucking round them. How do I listen to the phone in from here?
  17. Absolute fucking joke of a decision, but that's what var is for. It took them 5+ minutes to get to the decision they wanted.
  18. Casey is taking this whole free hit thing a bit too literally. Been fun though. Vale is a real pest, and with spittal and Bair we will have a few more chances on the counter attack, but we definitely are not going to keep a clean sheet, they're getting through with vanilla balls over the top, and at some point they aren't going to pass it straight to kelly.
  19. 2m a year over 6 years would sound more realistic, but it's not the champions league winning money I was hoping for.
  20. I agree that for these kind of things 36% isn't bad at all and, to be fair, I think that it would have been more problematic should the vote have gone the other way. I.e. that would have redlined us losing our majority, whereas right now all that's happened is we've said we're kind of up for anything, but we're still going to vote when something actually happens.
  21. That seems far fetched, especially considering that there would have been plenty of media folk at tynecastle to catch that.
  22. Regarding retaining players, I agree with the earlier posters that individually, I'd be happy to keep most of our out of contract guys, but the thought of keeping them all (bar Spittal, who we have no chance of keeping) scares me. Bevis is a typical scottish premier league central defender. Generally fine, has some clangers every now and then, but has enough standout performances to get the "that boy at motherwell" treatment from the OF wanks.
  23. That's actually more reassuring to me than the vote, tbh
