I'm gonna stick up for Lyon here. That was easily his poorest performance of the 4 I've seen this season, and he's been good or very good in the others. The disappointments for me have been Rodden, and Cuddihy hasn't yet reached his standard of previous seasons. Very impressed with what I've seen from the team so far.

Thank you for that. You would have been closer to the area where the "racist comments/chants" were allegedly made, than Shay Logan was at any point during the game. I'm still absolutely raging about this, and fully back the supporter who was falsely accused of making a racist comment. I do know he has made an official complaint to Cove Rangers, and I'll be interested to hear the response. Racism is obviously totally unacceptable, and the actions of this official and Shay Logan have not helped the cause in any way.

The trialist who came on as a sub.

This is the most sensible comment about the incident, and is in line with what I saw and heard from a matter of feet away from both the Cove official and the person he accused of making a racist comment. A few points about the accusation made by Shay Logan, as quoted in the Sunday Mail. "Shay, get back in your box you monkey". Firstly, nobody would start a personal insult by referring to him as Shay. It would be Logan. Secondly, "Get back in your box" was shouted - but to Hartley, not Logan. I confirm I heard this. Thirdly, "You monkey" was absolutely not shouted. Giving the Cove official the benefit of the doubt, he misheard something. The alternative is he has deliberately misinterpreted what was said/shouted and communicated this to Logan at half-time. Fourthly, there were no racist "chants" from anyone in this area of the ground. Finally, Clyde finished the game with 3 black players in our team. I'm sure they would have had something to say if there had been any racist chants. I hope the Cove official has a rethink about this "incident" & admits he made a mistake, followed by another tweet from Shay Logan apologising for his false allegations, and an article in the Daily Record/Sunday Mail confirming this was all a misunderstanding. I won't hold my breath .
