Captain Hilts 12,819 Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 That incompetent clown in the middle tonight sent off Andy Halliday for celebrating and "gesturing" to the opposition fans after our goal. Now, I've lost count of the amount of times an opposition player after scoring at Ibrox has cupped their ears or done the shushing celebration to the Rangers fans. Should we expect these players to get booked/sent off every time this happens in the future? Then again, that would suggest there was actually some consistency and competence amongst our officials, which there clearly isn't. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Al 55 9,252 Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Let's switch the logic slightly! Would you expect every ref to get it wrong every time for evermore because of one fanny? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnstone Burgh 1,640 Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 The cunt that scored twice when we drew 3-3 with stenny at ibrox should be in prison going by this ref's logic Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ger4life_1872 29,514 Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Its not the precedent , the ref and his assistant should be hounded out of the game though Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless the ref or the SFA come out and say it was the wrong decision, it should surely be expected that every player who does this should be booked or sent off Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluepeter9 5,167 Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Ref was an Arse - but no precident set - his fellow refs will be shaking their heads in shame at that booking - Sunday pub league for that ref next week Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

julescotia 11,407 Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Is he a new ref? Never heard of him before. Will be his last big match if he is new. Elgin v Clyde for him next Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sket 13,610 Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 The problem here is the 'ref' has made an absolute baws of it yet won't be held accountable and wil be free to make a cunt of it again next week. The 'referees' aren't accountable for their mistakes and that is the problem. I've said it before,nothing will change until these idiots are held to account.

PaulReid 184 Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 It's the linesman that tell him there was a problem. He put the pressure on him to so it. He should tell the linesman to bolt but that wouldn't happen Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all know that latter will not happen but it's an expression of how bizarrely some things are against us when we are actively hated for being shown "favouritism".

BlueboyG 5,238 Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 I think when the ref watches this back he will be making a call to his assistant and saying what the fuck did you think you saw, you have made a right cunt of me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Halliday made a fist pump gesture from the middle of the park, this type of thing happens in just about every game. Goalies for a start, often celebrate turning to the crowd (and why not, they've been getting abuse hurled at them for the duration), players often cup their ears or gesture shhh. It really is part in parcel of the game, and unless a player does something that is clearly OTT it should never be a booking. Well it's just a ridiculous thing to happen, football is going to get so watered down and bereft of drama that fans interest will drop and the game will become less entertaining. Hopefully it's a genuine mistake, because if this is the way things are going god help us. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sergio 1,199 Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 The ref consulted with the linesman, he has indicated that Halliday made a wanking gesture to the Morton fans. So he either thought he saw Halliday do that, or he lied. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
onefootwillie 1,518 Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Very poor decision I suspect the refwas looking for something to get Haliday on as he had been chirping in the his ear all night. Pathetic the ref is out of his depth but how many have we seen in recent years that are just not up to it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dutchy 1,200 Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Obviously everyone's pished off at this decision, as am I. We can only hope, despite the clamour from the SFA that refs are hard to recruit these days that his career is curtailed to the lower divisions. And of course his linesman.
