I’m with you. I see it as a very destructive competition. Having said that, I was so bewildered trying to deal with Town having won that I (genuinely) never even knew that Spurs had shipped 7 until a mate messaged me. And I even had to look up who they were playing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hibs thought it was a drop ball, Celtic run up the park unexpectedly and score. 😜 I know you're messing around, but that is a complaint from a lot of Hibs fans, and I presume Heckingbottom at the time. I think they would all do well to learn the new rules when it comes to a drop ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that was the confusion, Hibs were expecting a drop ball and Celtic took a quick free kick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, both free kick or drop ball would have resulted in Celtic starting the game the same way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew they had changed that rule, but not payed much attention yet. I like a good bounce up too! Was just at it, circumstances were different from the Celtic one, play to the whistle etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one thing I took from our couple of years there is that it's an utterly corrupt league which shamelessly loads every game in favour of the bigger clubs. Whether that's through subliminal bias (refs assuming that the 'bigger' team are more likely to be in the right over 50:50s) or that the refs just want to be Facebook friends with Harry Kane I never quite worked out. But I used to witness shocking decisions week in, week out. There's a fairly clear indication as far as I can see that they want teams that are 'names' in the EPL that they can market, not plucky little underdogs that no-one in China has ever heard of.

This is the exact opinion held by my colleague at work. He is a Reading fan. I always thought different of the EPL, despite it's insane money having an adverse effect on the scottish game I always thought it was one of the few competitive leagues around europe. As for the CL, it's a competition designed for an elite few to progress and remain at the top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s nobody in Scotland who can even imagine what this is like. Thank heavens we have a governing body who is a beacon of uncorrupt fairness.

RenfrewBlue Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 Looks like it was an interesting game in Leith today. Don's get 2 reds and their equaliser is scored by Cosgrove after he could have been off too. Certainly got your moneys worth by the sound of it.

No, it was crap, Hibs played a bit when we first went down to 10 men but generally it was poor stuff all round. Between today and the last home game v St Johnstone I can't believe how bad Scottish football is right now. Although I've seen Hibs and Livi play a little bit of decent football on TV recently so maybe it's just Aberdeen games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
