Heard too that one car ran into the back of an old boy’s car and they booked the old boy for simulation. 8 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peternapper 622 Report post Posted April 7, 2019 10 minutes ago, As Easterly as it gets! said: You believe the officials are better in the leagues above? Bet if you have a look at League one, championship and SPL , you'll get the same argument from fans of every club. Dont think theres many refs who support the Clyde, Peterhead, Brechin, Stenny, QoS, Alloa or Hamiltons of this world. The refs are simply poor. In some cases, very poor. And in the case of Freeland............he was bloody awful. I had a bit of a reputation of being critical of officials in the past but since Mr Finnie handed in his whistle don't really bother now. In general the standard is very poor even when you get a Grade 1 they seldom seem much better. It would seem at best we can only hope they are equally as bad for both teams & live with it. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sydney 580 Report post Posted April 7, 2019 I don’t believe for a minute that refs go out to make bad decisions, let alone bad decisions against any particular teams. The general standard is simply poor and I’ve seen crazy decisions going both for and against us. Just galling that in the last 2 home games we’ve seen two huge howlers against us but I’m sure we will see a howler or two go in our favour in the not too distant future. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Once we begin climbing the leagues again this will undoubtedly improve, and we have the facilities, infrastructure and ambition to accommodate it. What’s your excuse? (If you’re struggling I can answer that for you) Would not claim to have followed all the goings on at Clyde over the last decade but help but think they made their own bed & have to live with it. Not sure how they left Shawfield or if it was theirs anyway but eventually ended up at Broadwood. The rental agreement was either impractical from the start or badly handled by the Clyde board. The Old Firm thing is no different in Cumbernauld than in any other town in Scotland buses head there in numbers every week from all over the North east. But after moving to a new catchment area they appeared to rather than attract new supporters alienate them by going on about leaving for the other side of town. As for Broadwood how often has any of the other stands been required in the last 10 years. Until recently there was nothing at the ground to get folk there early for a drink or hospitality, speaking to our lads yesterday they ended up having to go up to the farm for a pre-match drink as not allowed in the bar at the ground. So I would say Clydes board/owners supporters seem to have spent years fighting each other which has held them back. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

David Goodwillie (PBUH) punched the ball into the back of the net against Montrose to keep us off the bottom and in existence. The karma from that one will take a while to even out. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BroadwoodBoy 219 Report post Posted April 7, 2019 We weren’t helped by some terrible refereeing but even then we still had the chances to win the game. Gifting them their goals is just as frustrating. Credit to this team of players who kept fighting & never gave up. I am proud of the way they have carried themselves & performed over the course of the season. I still firmly believe we will be playing League One football next season & it will he no more than what they deserve. I said at the start of the season whoever gets the most points in the Clyde vs Peterhead fixtures will win this league. We will keep on fighting until the death though! For anyone feeling a bit deflated after dropping points yesterday don’t let that put you off travelling next weekend. The boys deserve our support so let’s get there in numbers & get right behind them! 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The ref did everything in his power to stop us winning that day.ok if they wanted to wreck our season why uphold Blair Curries appeal? I agree the last two home games has seen really poor refereeing was it deliberate as said that doesn't stack up why give us the penalty yesterday? The whole points deduction has created a victim culture around the club The whole f**k the SFA stuff when it was the SPFL who dished out the punishment sums a lot up. The SFA haven't even made the decision on the appeal and we are chanting F**k the SFA . I hope they reverse the points deduction firstly to help my club but secondly to extinguish this notion that the authorities are out to get Clyde it's utterly ridiculous 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
