Fairbairn Posted December 21, 2023 Share Posted December 21, 2023 1 hour ago, Diamond Scot said: You have to worry for Roofes career. Can only see him being offered a pay as you play deal whetever he goes next and his body doesnt seem capable of staying fit for some reason. The challenge on Lundstum was as clear a red as you will see. The ref was 10 yards away, looking strqight at it. How he only thought it was a yellow should be a worry for his ability. Thought Rangers lacked creativety / movement in the final 3rd. Something they have struggled with for years. Im a source of laughter for my Rangers supporting mates now but I still think Lammers could be a good player. He seems to have all the attributes except pace. He has brilliant feet and can spot a pass etc however he just seems to have no quickness of the mind. He consistently does the technical part of action really well like a side step etc but then instead of getting the pass or shot away he takes ages as if he is still to decide what happens next and then he gets tackled or blocked. Not sure if thats something that can be coached or if he is just that way now. Lammers pass completion rate must be in single digits. The amount of time he gives the ball away is criminal and I'd be bringing Lowry back (if possible) and playing him ahead of Lammers every day of the week.

I dont disagree, his all round stats must be very poor. From watching him it just looks like its not the technical side of his game thats lacking.

He is just doing his job. People might say it should have been called off earlier but the same people would complain of a games called off early, the weather improves and the pitch is playable come kick off time. Its rubbish for the fans but its been that way since the beginning of time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Info is that he turned up at 1.40pm with other officials arriving earlier. What was the protocol that he didnt follow? I presume its only a courtesy that he consults with managers etc as the decision will ultimately rest with the officials. Apparently Robson said he was concerned with the state of the pitch when walking over it but that he wanted game to go ahead and felt for the fans. If the ref hasnt followed some protocol then fair enough he should be sanctioned however why would a ref want to call a game off when he is already on site. Im pressuming they dont get paid as much if the game doesnt go ahead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The home team because they lose money if a game gets rescheduled and both teams as generally they can do without the fixture congestion. Thats why its left to the officials to decide.

I'm not sure, however both clubs have said on record he was late Again, both clubs have stated that consultation is the protocol My understanding is that they get paid in full Regardless, it's a feckin joke. The weather was poor, zero consideration was offered, 3500 (7000 in total?) turned up at their own expense, and no cunt is accountable for their loss Nonsense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course the big thing for the clubs would be the fiscal side of things, whether summer games vs winter shutdown = more or less income. I think it would work in their favour but who knows how some of these clubs operate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robson said he had concerns about the pitch and on Clyde 1 they were saying the away end goalmouth area was particuarly bad. I just cant see a reason why a ref would travel to a game and then cancel it for no real reason. Others games going ahead sometimes doesnt tell the full story. Is Dundee's pitch just not very good this season. As others have said, theres been a good few games where the pitch has been bad. I would suggest training on it to make a point probably wont help the pitch going forward. I think it may be half fee and travel expenses to answer my own questiob about whether they get paid.
