Attributing it to a footballer you don't like who plays (played) for a team you don't like who maybe says a few things you don't like is wildly over the top. Chris Sutton boils my piss and I've I'm sure I've called him a fair few things in the past but he's not a scumbag just because he has some strong opinions. (I realise it wasn't you who used the term btw). that's exactly my take on it. in saying that I quite like Sutton and don't really have an opinion on Boyd. In terms of former players/pundits, I hate Billy Dodds with a passion but wouldn't describe him as a scumbag. Maybe there are a few different meanings to scumbag. I wouldn't say Jimmy Saville is a scumbag - there would be much worst descriptions to apply to him. In thinking who I consider would be accurately described as a scumbag, I would probably suggest Tommy Robinson, UKIP's David Cochrane and perhaps, just perhaps, someone associated with Scottish football, Nacho Novo........

Squirrelhumper Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 I'm not Boyd's biggest fan with his media stuff but in no way is he a scumbag from my experience of meeting him/hearing from folk at the club etc. Opposition fans absolute hate him and Aberdeen fans seem to rise to the bait more than any other team when he celebrates etc against them. Funnily enough, Celtic fans don't seem to bother with him that much but he doesn't really score against them. Scored lots against Rangers though!

Dalgety Bay TA Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 People who get wound up by footballers/commentators probably need to have a wee look at their own mental well being IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErsatzThistle Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 On the aforementioned Chris Sutton. Aye, he can be rather too fond of his own voice sometimes but I'll give him his due, he has a good, positive attitude towards Scottish football. He is never afraid to stand up for it when most of his co-presenters and pundits (some of them Scots) hold lazy, ill informed and snobbish views of our game. So fair play to him. An ex-neighbour of his told me recently that Sutton was very keen on rearing his own crops, pigs and poultry when he lived in these parts - with mixed results.

Having finally seen a good camera angle of the incident I don't have a problem with the red for McGregor. It does however make the failure to act on McGinn and Power even more embarrassing. The Compliance Officer is slowly but surely making themselves look utterly more ridiculous with every inconsistent decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m comfortable with that. Edited February 13, 2019 by SMcoolJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vexatious - causing or tending to cause annoyance, frustration, or worry. Pretty sure Powers challenge was vexatious. Intent plays no part in it either. It endangered an opponent and was the epitome of the stupid challenge the rules are trying to stop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macy37 Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 I actually feel shagger is hard done by. However the referee who missed this is rewarded with the position in the middle for this weekends top match. This is the bit that needs to be concentrated on, out officials are not accountable for any of their ‘mistakes’. How can this be okay??

Intent has everything to do with it and that is what distinguishes the two incidents. McGregor’s incident was considered vexatious hence the citing and subsequent ban. Power’s incident was considered clumsy hence the booking and no further action. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Intent is not included in the rule, apparently, therefore it has nothing to do with it. I wasn't aware of the wording either until earlier this week and an ex-ref read it out on a radio show I was listening to. As far as the rules are concerned it doesn't matter if you meant to endanger the opponent or not. The offence is the same. Unless you're the Compliance officer of the SFA.

The ref needs downgraded for saying he didnt see it... when he is 20 yards away and looking directly at the incident. So, either (i) he is a liar, or (ii) incompetent, either of which should result in a downgrade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There has been evidence of, let's be honest, rank favouritism shown towards Rangers by match officials but in this case I just think he judged incorrectly, nothing sinister. What's worse is why on earth would you appeal the award? It was a shocking challenge, clearly there was zero chance of it being overturned, double the ban then you will cut out all their ridiculous appeals.

Funny that, the cunts had no issues when Clarke brought up the inconsistencies the other week. In fact, Slippy even mocked it and said Ref's should be left to referee.
