The Referree / Var thread..
Fairbairn replied to Big Ramy 1314's topic in Football related - Discussion of non TA football
We seem to be in a place now where any contact in the box is deemed a penalty. It’s ridiculous. -
Season 23/24

Massive 3 points for Rangers at Rugby Park, especially with Celtic being out of sight at half time. We don’t come close to digging that out under Beale. Credit to Clement, he picked the wrong team but changed it when it was clear it wasn’t working. I won’t be too bothered if that’s the last we see of Barasic in a Rangers jersey. -

And another! If that’s not worth another look for handball by Mayo I don’t know what is. The decisions are getting worse with every passing week. -

Some terrible decisions at Rugby Park too. Looked to me like Killie should have had another penalty and we should probably have had one too for handball. Ref not sent to the screen for either. -

Footage of the full exchange has been released. Pretty shocking. wl4mNFnqRpnwPoBr.mp4 -
Season 23/24
Fairbairn replied to vanderark14's topic in Football related - Discussion of non TA football
Given his tone in the rest of the interview it was clearly condescending. The reaction has still been a bit OTT mind you but then that's par for the course in Scottish football! Good to see Brendan starting to crack as much as his lips though! -
Europe 23/24
Fairbairn replied to vanderark14's topic in Football related - Discussion of non TA football
I watched the UEFA cup final on a dodgy stick that was about 2 minutes behind. My missus text me when Frankfurt equalised and I had to sit for 2 minutes knowing it was coming but not saying anything to my mates. Was excruciating!! Needless to say the phone was muted after that! -

Is it definitely Rogers that says that at the end? I've only listened to it once but it sounded more to me like someone in the studio saying it and I wondered if it was maybe Tom English complimenting the reporter for giving him a grilling? -

7th and 14th March. We'll be home second. -
Europe 23/24
Fairbairn replied to vanderark14's topic in Football related - Discussion of non TA football
Rangers draw Benfica in the last 16 of the Europa league. We've got an excellent record against Portuguese sides but that's a really tough draw, especially when you consider we're the seeded team! As an aside, after the draw they explained the new European format for next season and I've not got a scooby how it's going to work!! -
Same family that went viral a few years ago trying to chase a bat out of their kitchen which is one of the funniest things I've seen online!

I think being pish played a significant part in that. -

Well there are 13 errors that they're admitting to in that report alone. That one just stood out to me due to the amount of opportunities they had to get it right before finally admitting it was wrong (when it's far too late). I actually feel sorry for the ref who got it right first time and was then put in a position where he is doubting his decision and sent down the wrong path. -

So, they've released the list of VAR errors in the second quarter and Cifuentes red card is on it. Just to summarise, the on field decision was a yellow. The ref was then asked to review it by VAR and it was upgraded to a red. Rangers then appealed and the appeal was dismissed (and Rangers fined) and we're now told the red decision was incorrect. How can it go through a VAR review, a rewatch by the ref, an appeals panel who have all got it wrong and now we're now told the initial onfield decision was correct?! Even by Scottish football standards that's some pretty impressive incompetency! -
That's some post for someone with a hangover!

Season 23/24
Fairbairn replied to vanderark14's topic in Football related - Discussion of non TA football
if ever there was proof that we needed to sign a clinical finisher it was last night. 43 shots on goal with 23 on target and only 3 goals. Dessers got 2 but should have had 5 before half time. We're playing well at the moment but I do worry the lack of goals between now and the end of the season will be a deciding factor. -

I really enjoyed it. Totally juvenile humour but funny with it. A couple of episodes are a bit too long but that’s a minor niggle. -

Jack Reacher is a decent watch, if a bit formulaic. Easy enough to switch the brain off and watch and they've at least nailed the casting this time. Jack Ryan is also pretty good too. The second season of Vigil however is utter bilge. Poorly written, casted, acted and shot. Looked cheap with a ridiculous storyline but the biggest crime of the whole thing was Rose Leslie's Scottish accent. And she's Scottish! -

It could very well come down to the 2 OF games and given we can't seem to beat Celtic when it matters, I'd still give them the edge. We also must be due a wobble at some point as we've been remarkably consistent under Clement. -

Fairbairn replied to EddardStark's topic in Football related - Discussion of non TA football
Not sure how the window went for us! Had never heard of Diomande or Cortes before this week and Silva has yet to impress. However we did ship out Lammers so should be stronger for that. I continue to be concerned about the "DeScotification" of our squad, which was one of the reasons I wanted us to sign Shankland. -

Assume they'll go for Xabi Alonso to replace him. And Klopp to take the Germany job after the Euros. -
Movies 2024
Fairbairn replied to Hertsscot's topic in Anything Goes - Other topics not covered elsewhere
To be fair, if Ryan Gosling and America Ferrara are getting nominated I don't think it's unreasonable to think Margot Robbie was deserving too. And while it might not be everyone's cup of tea, Barbie is an excellently made film and I find it quite strange that Greta Gerwig wasn't nominated too. -

I had high hopes for this as I absolutely love The Wire but I just couldn't get in to it. It jumps back and forth across 2 different time lines and I struggled to keep up with which was which at times. Only 6 episodes I think and we didn't get to the end of it. -
Season 23/24
Fairbairn replied to vanderark14's topic in Football related - Discussion of non TA football
First 20 minutes I thought it had 0-0 written all over it but 2 good goals before the break made it a really comfortable night. Lots of talk of Yilmaz leaving but I’d be trying to keep him as he looks a player now he’s getting a run.
