Wee Jock Poopong McPlop Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 Unnecessary use of a change strip rips ma knitting. A couple of year ago St.Mirren who at the time had basically white tops and black shorts played Hibs, green tops white shorts. Inexplicably Saints switched to red tops. Ehhh hello people, don’t you know that about 10% of guys have a least a bit of red/green colour blindness. So it’s not just me, statistically a couple of the players would have an issue distinguishing a teammate from an opponent and It was clear from the ref’s decision making that he was one of the one in ten. So if you are reading this, strip decision making guy - get your brain in gear and get it sorted. To put this in a contemporary perspective, I find your decision making offensive! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamthebam Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 Edinburgh City launched a "heritage" kit last season (which I quite like) but our normal home colours are white and black and away colours yellow and black. Here are City at home wearing the black and red 3rd kit (which they did for a few games). I think that's Elgin wearing their home kit just to confuse things. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a big issue with red and black kits clashing for some reason. I struggle to differentiate from a distance which was a pain in the arse at the 2000 LC Semi when United rocked up in their black away kit. Dons/Hibs had a few games that I've struggled with as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the Celtic player in the middle of the picture wearing a bucket hat? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stargazer Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 I do remember,as a former junior club secretary, having a disagreement with the odd referee who wanted the shorts changed as both teams had same colour of shorts. Socks I get - no problem with that and on occasion the socks have been replaced, but shorts? I did point out to the said referee that should he make grade one, would he be telling either of the ugly sisters that one of them had to change? or Hertz or Hibs? Curiously he backed away and said shorts were as laid out in the dressing room prior to inspection. It did remind me that when it comes to the laws of the game, the match referee is in fact God (and some of them actually believe the hype.....). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently Eddie Turnbull wanted to keep Jorgen on but he wouldn't stay if Mortensen wasn't kept on too, but Turnbull didn't want Mortensen so they both left. I always thought Ravn and Ernie Winchester were too similar in playing style for both of them to play at the same time, although they did it often enough. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember the heralded arrival of the three Danes, but don’t really remember any of them playing apart from Jens Petersen as, living out in the country and my dad working on a Saturday, didn’t get to any weekend matches until 1966. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
