That Dundee keeper Lawlor, yikes. Where the f**k did they find him? Seems make at least one f**k up every game that leads to a goal

It should be statistically impossible to source and recruit as many clown keepers as we've had over the past 5+ years, but we somehow manage it.

Just seen the penalties in the County and Aberdeen game, first was an absolute stonewaller not given and second is debatable. Fair play though to Ross County though I think they’ve been excellent all season.

McGhee sounds like a doddering auld fart, Courts like an excited wee boy.
Bizarre listening to them one after the other.

Really strange of Sportscene to put a 7-0 Celtic game well behind a 1-0 Aberdeen Ross County game but before a 2-2 in the Dundee derby.

Not really, the Hibs, Aberdeen, Livingston games had to come first as they affected the split and you can't start doing analysis etc as you would be spoiling the results of the other matches.

The Dundee derby came last as DU were safe so it didn't have to be included with the first three, and the Celtic game is for the title race.

The entire Dundee game was repeated just before hand on alba as well. Sportscene obviously have a bias to covering Celtic/ Rangers games more and first but the scheduling for this was fine and some people will just moan for the sake of it.

Generally, the only people on/at a football pitch fully aware of the rules are the officials. 

Probably.

But to be fair the rules of football were pretty much the same for about 120 years and in the last 10 years they've changed them every two minutes.

This isn't even remotely true. There have been minor changes throughout the history of football and the recent ones are not actually any more substantial than that. Someone from 1900 watching football today would still be able to understand it as broadly the same game. If anything I'd say the two biggest changes to how the game is played have been the change from 3 to 2 defenders for offside, and then the introduction of the passback. Both of those were well before last 10 years.

These guys are paid to player, manage or commentate on football as a full-time job, it's not too much to expect them to understand what are ultimately a fairly simple set of laws.

@Granny Danger can you confirm this?

[Swami]

Didn’t watch the game today because I don’t really give a f**k, but I’ve stuck on the highlights to see what went on. Definite yellow card tackle from Callum McGregor early on in the game, the decision not to give the booking defended by Al Lamont and Rory Loy because ‘you can’t start giving out bookings this early in an Old Firm game’. There’s nothing in Scottish football that annoys me more than this horseshit, that this game has to be refereed differently from any other game.

My thoughts exactly.

The Hibs player sent off (Newell?) Must have been watching that thinking WTF.

[Clown Job]

They didn’t show that embarrassing Adam dive from earlier.

Wonder if it had anything to do with him being Scottish and a friend of the station. 

Also every time I see or hear Jane Lewis, it always feels like it’s her first week on the job. 

[Miguel Sanchez]

Motherwell somehow looked worse with an extra man. Impressive.

"key moment in the 89th minute" when referring to the sending off.

Richard Foster says "on this occasion" then she starts her next sentence with it even though it made no sense.

Jane Lewis asking the others whether Dundee or St Johnstone had a tougher run in was quite something.

[starryfish]

Jane Lewis is like a work experience person except she’s been doing her job for circa 20 years

Who's worse Jane Lewis or David Currie

[Busta Nut]

Absolutely no chat about that Rangers penalty. Strange yin.

[Leith Green]

Leeanne Crichton was the only person who seemed to be relaxed and knew their subject.

Richard Foster is evidence that glasses dont make everyone appear intelligent.
