jagster Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 Morning I’m coming down after work so might be cutting it fine and I’d imagine there will be heavy traffic. Would I be ok to turn right at inveralmond roundabout go through ind estate and come out the other end parking somewhere by the road or is that a no no 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was what appeared to be one, it may even have been McCart, a few minutes earlier. Referees can be forgiven for being sceptical and managing games appropriately. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just from the point of view of how it'll look on TV. Who cares how it looks on TV?  0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually they can't. They have no medical qualifications (even if they did they can't make a diagnosis without examining the player) and the instruction is that they stop the game if there's a head knock. It's not their job to be sceptical. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moreover, the game has recently been improved by the policy decision of not blowing the whistle immediately for all manner of advantage seeking tricks. In this instance the referee did exactly the right thing. In any case, concentrating on this, the offside and CD subs, reveals a weakness that the magnificent game changing Scott Allardice will relish. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If refs do their job then we likely draw with Aberdeen in Perth and beat them at Pittodrie. Two decisions that weren't even hard to get right that could've pushed us above them. I don't know why he's not made more of it, Tommy Wright would've had about 3 touchline bans by now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highland Capital Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 With Duffy and Devine back I imagine we'll start the game with a back four as usual. The 5-3-2ish thing we started with last Friday didn't work at all. Myself and the people round me when the game started were trying to work out what we were playing and I thought it was a 4-4-2 diamond with Welsh at the base and Doran as the 10 but as it went on it became clearer that Welsh was in centre-back but I'm still not sure where Doran was meant to be playing. I do kind of understand Dodds' thinking - our defence was depleted and slotting Welsh in there added more protection and meant we had a more natural ball player in there. It didn't work and the back five just allowed St Johnstone to come at us. It wasn't the game to be throwing Hyde in from the start either. I think this was a case of Dodds overthinking and when he put it right with the subs in the second half we were ten times better. I hope Allardice can start tonight - his introduction on Friday just solidified the midfield and if he's fit enough to start, his inclusion would be a massive boost. This is probably one of our most important games ever. If MacGregor has any chance I'd like to see him on the bench as well. Even if we can only get a short boost out of him, it could make all the difference. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandomGuy. Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 See reports the Bear might be in the squad for this. Should provide more off the bench than May or Ciftci if we're needing to chase a goal, you'd think, so that's a boost. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Saintee Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 A last, tragic, roll of the dice by an extremely poor manager to be bringing up refs at this stage. What team hasn't had some shite decisions? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those decisions that you'd normally just mump and moan about during the game become that much more important and feel like a devastating blow. It's nothing to do with the reason you're where you are though. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
