The idiots opened with Fulham vs Brentford purely because it was an exciting match with lots of incidents and good goals! Haven’t they heard that the proper way to do things is to always put on the biggest teams first, promoting the entire league exclusively on the basis of (and for the benefit of) those 2 biggest teams and just giving the diddy teams a token couple of minutes each regardless of what actually happens in any of their matches??? What would you say was the most exciting game in Scotland today? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, he meant that a penalty, in his and many other people's minds, is a special kind of foul. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bgsaint Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 In the livi game they gave away a penalty for handball (harsh maybe) but having given away the penalty, did their player get a yellow card? Don’t think he did, if not what the Fck is the rule? Several other teams have had players yellow carded when it’s a handball even when the ball is fired against a hand/arm. Where’s the consistency?? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamamafegan Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 What would you say was the most exciting game in Scotland today? Tbf Hibs vs Rangers was obviously first choice today but you can bet that on another weekend if there was a 6 goal thriller at Rugby Park between Kilmarnock and St Mirren - while Celtic beat Ross County 2 nil at Celtic Park - they’d be opening their show like “Celtic were looking to extended their unbeaten run…” 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say so, clearly didn't hit his arm, and both officials were blocked from having a clear view, so looks like Goss chancing his arm* claiming for a pen influenced their decision, goss* incompetence by the officials. *i'll get my coat. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archie McSquackle Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 Kenny Miller said last night that they're is very little between the teams from Hearts down. I assume he's including Motherwell in that upper echelon (I wouldn't). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume he's including Motherwell in that upper echelon (I wouldn't). I think that’s pretty fair. Any team can beat any team out with the top two. Hearts obviously have more than most teams and will likely win more than anyone else, but at the same time you wouldn’t be massively shocked if they lost points to Ross County, St Mirren, etc across the season. Rangers dropping points only after going down to 9 men away from home highlights the size of the gulf between them and the rest. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe that Mr McSquackle's point is that Kenny Miller appears to be using the league table for his analogy, and Motherwell are above Hearts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 I'm sure this has been asked before, but what is going on with Thomson's beard? I don't watch the show, so maybe he's already mentioned it, and I don't want to be insensitive if it's a health issue. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct. I think Kenny Miller just assumes Hearts must be in third place despite them spending most of the day watching games and seeing what is going on. I certainly don't think that Motherwell are set apart from everyone other than Celtic, Rangers and Hearts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get it now and then, just appears over a few days then you're left with a bald patch. Usually grows back within a few months (I had a baldy bit for over a year once). It's not the end of the world. I welcome the "what the f**k is going on with your face" comments. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dons_1988 Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 It’s probably just clumsy wording in saying that at the moment, hearts are regarded as the 3rd best team in the country. Given it’s very early in the season, it’s not unreasonable to make the point based on last seasons league table, especially as no team has really shown yet they are/will be better than hearts. Nothing to get bent out of shape over. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
