The fans of that particular "sport" then claim it's better than football because 20 stone tubes are polite to the ref. It's more like said tubes haven't a clue what the rules of rugby union actually are so just go along with it. Having said that in 35 years of watching football I've never seen a ref change a decision because Jimmy McTumshie, the centre half of Inversneckie United, shouted at him My mate, George Hunter, was at Cowdenbeath and Tiny Wharton was in his last days as a ref. George protested that a corner should have been a goal kick. Mr Wharton replied "Do you think I've come all this way to change my mind son"?

Maybe a Hamilton fan can shed more light on it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguel Sanchez Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 7 hours ago, AmericanFan said: In American sports slang, "putting a clown suit" on someone is severely out-coaching them or blowing them out as to make them look like fools. Such as, "Aberdeen boss Jim Goodwin put a clown suit on Stephen Robinson during the Dons 4-1 win over the buddies." 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Master Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 10 hours ago, HK Hibee said: The use of “inferring “ suggests that he didn’t call him a clown but instead did something that suggested it. Trying to think what it could be - best idea is he mimed someone walking with big clown shoes I’d also suggest that Willie Gibson implied it, and it was the referee who subsequently inferred it. Next week on Pedant’s Corner… 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigkillie Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 ICT wouldn't have had a goal overturned against us if James Craigen hadn't run to the ref explaining that the corner hadn't been taken properly. The corner had been taken properly. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Empty It Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 Nothing tinpot about celebrating a last minute winner especially when it's a derby, I'd be going mental if it was the other way about. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, heres the thing - I was in the East when the ball fell to Ozturk a few years back, I said to myself "hit it ya radge"........................and then watched the fucking limbs from you guys in the South Next time I was in work, a jambo pal just looked at me, did the Roger Moore eyebrow and we both cracked up laughing..........because we both know thats what makes fitba great. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VincentGuerin Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 No problem with people celebrating. Not sure when it became cool to pretend fitba fans shouldn't celebrate stuff, but it's just silly. As a veteran of many late derby goals, I'd be a huge hypocrite if I went near that. That said, me and my brother were accosted by a Hibby who jumped in front of us and shouted 'YAAASSS! WHAT'S THE SCORE, YA c***s!' I genuinely think in all the excitement he thought Hibs had won. I believe drink had been taken. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take you point and don’t begrudge hibs fans their party but it’s not really a valid comparison. Ozturks goal was so ridiculously awesome it would have triggered scenes even if it was just a late consolation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
