Barry cook is one of the worst refs in the game. BUT the ref was not the reason we conceded 2 and were on course for a skelping . -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diamondman Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 In what way was he having a shocker? The stream commentator had several disagreements, but did struggle with impartiality over the piece in truth. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FREDDYFRY Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 Airdrie simply had / have better players than us, especially in midfield. That said Referee was awful, strange decisions and from what I could see missed two really strong penalty claims. He also had a strange decision not allowing Goodwillie’s quick fee kick when Airdrie had did it at least 3 times previously (as good teams do) No doubt we got out of jail today but just a reprieve unless we bring in at least 3 preferably 5 quality players. Although 8 weeks ago we would have been 4-5 down Lennon has actually managed to stop the rot.. for time being at least. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamond8 Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 Very convenient that it was the Clyde official to appear from the tunnel wanting the game postponed. We will 100% lose the replay. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FREDDYFRY Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 I think with the injury and Ref waiting for fog to clear they had ‘only’ played about 60 odd 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with your final comment - especially when ref's seem to be more than happy to call off a 3pm game due to a frozen pitch based on an 8am inspection. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeAllDreamOfATeamOfAndyRyans Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 Shouldn’t ever have started but then since it started it should have been played to a finish. Guaranteed to lose the replay cos it’s Airdrie. Anyway, could be worse, could support a club who has a rapist up front and a racist on the wing[emoji1360][emoji1360] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea how the linesman could make an offside decision or tell if the ball had crossed the bye line 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sydney Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 Think photos are a bit deceptive. I took some and the fog doesn’t look anywhere near as bad in the photos as it did in person. From where I was sitting, I thought the fog was definitely at its worst when the ref first stopped the game. I couldn’t see the far corner flags which I could see clearly at the start of the game. I didn’t think the fog was as bad when he finally abandoned it so found that a bit odd. The fans views are immaterial in any event. It’s what the ref can or can’t see at pitch level that’s the deciding factor. Things might have looked quite different from there. As for the game itself, Airdrie are clearly a significantly better side than we are and will understandably be pissed off that a game they were dominating didn’t finish. Hope the injured player makes a speedy recovery. Couldn’t really see clearly what happened. Did he fall awkwardly or go over on his ankle or something? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FREDDYFRY Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 (edited) I think the issue probably was the linesman could not clearly see full distance across the pitch so offside for example would be hard to call or ball over the byline for corners etc. Edited December 18, 2021 by FREDDYFRY 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chapelhall chap Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 Sitting in the car park at 2 I wondered if it was actually likely to start. That did not improve in any real sense as we all tried to see what play was happening. I often wondered who was out on far side . The ref just about wanted to give it a chance but it was a correct tho annoying outcome. No point analysing either team as I had blurred vision. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haufdaft Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 The fog intensity varied throughout the match.However the trend was getting worse.If the match continued, it would've been a travesty for the paying customer. It's a disgrace that fan experience is not taken into account when playing on fog. For a large portion of the match the players, especially those wearing the Airdrie strip disappeared into the fog on the far side. Never mind the invisible ball. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David W Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 Can we decide now whether Jones' strike counts, so that there's no confusion when he makes it to 100 goals? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
