George Smith was one of the worst referees I have ever seen but I'll give him this, he had the most remarkable eyesight. Allow me to explain: Aberdeen were the visitors to Ibrox and Iain Durrant (I think - not too sure), anyway, whoever it was scored what I thought was a perfectly good goal - an Aberdeen player had kick the ball after ir had crossed the line. Smith was about 30 yards away from play and he disallowed the goal because "the whole ball had not crossed the line". Amazing eyesight.
Last week Stindl couldn't have scored in a brothel, he missed two open goals and BM are mid-table. But, having said that, the Bundesliga is of a far higher standard than ours.
I see MW has been charged by the Compliance Officer with "Bringing the game into disrepute".
Irony overload here. How can the SFA charge anyone with bringing the game into disrepute?
Can someone tell me why it is that McCoist surrendered 15 points and the title to the pond scrapings and remained in situ for what seemed an eternity; almost bankrupting us in the process with the signing of some of the biggest chancers in Scottish football, yet there is already a witch-hunt for MW?
I think he understands the game only too well. What, it appears, he didn't reckon on, was the level of bile and vitriol that he would face when we got to the top division; reporters at press conferences who have left their green and grey scarves at the door - well, some of them, anyway.
If, prior to coming here Warburton didn't know what was expected of him, he certainly knows now, or should. You have to ask, what has DW been telling him?
I am reminded of Advocaat's fatuous remark after they beat us 6 - 2 "It's only a game".
Not to me it isn't.
