Nellie The Don Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Arabs defeat means Dons are now officially safe from relegation Actually, we could still be relegated via the playoff, although that would require Partick Thistle to overtake us before the split.

tom_widdows Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Apparently should have been 2-3 goals ahead before Celtic woke up in the second half. This included a break away one-on-one which Gordon blocked. YAWN!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manc_don Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Well we always knew this was going to happen. Nobody's fault but our own (well, a lot of Gollums fault as well). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobbyBiscuit Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 Had watched the Leverkusen - Dortmund game earlier, Dortmund had won a free kick in their own half, took it quickly, broke up the park and scored. Leverkusen were livid that the free kick appeared to be soft but also that the kick was taken 5 yards from where the offence took place. The Leverkusen manager, Schmidt, was giving the ref a hard time from the side of the park and the ref told the 4th official to send Schmidt to the stand. Schmidt wouldn't go unless the ref sent him off in person so the ref walked off. Eventually the game re-started and the coach went to the stands. But not a glorious moment for the ref, should have been a lot stronger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If true it makes the situation even worse. Yesterday's 'Off the ball' was quite interesting with Michael Stewart and Charlie Richmond as guests. Richmond defended Willie Collum as a ref but not as a person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has claimed that if you're not in a 'top' profession you have no chance of moving up the ladder - kind of suggests if you're not a mason etc etc. Collum is a fucking awful ref though, so has clearly got this one wrong...

Being a ref is a fairly thankless task a lot of the time so I try not to ref bash too much despite being highly frustrated by the growing level of incompetence in Scottish referee's in general. Collum is indefensible though. He's so awful so often, that he's going to the euro's would be hilarious if it wasn't so pathetic. Ironically though he may do so badly at a euro's game that the international spotlight on him will force the SFA to act. The only thing you can say in his defence is that he's not mike hun cunt mccurry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kind of hope he makes a massive fuck up of any Euro 2016 match he officiates so that his refereeing career dies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kind of hope he makes a massive fuck up of any Euro 2016 match he officiates so that his refereeing career dies. I actually think his consistent level of fuck up's makes him even worse than McCurry. Got to wonder what the real cause of our inability to produce decent referees in this country is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tlg1903 Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 I disagree, mccurry was worse because he had a rangers agenda. Collum is incompetent but I don't think he's bent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Collum is incompetent but I don't think he's bent Having read your post, I am going to change my view. You are right to highlight the difference between incompetence and corrupt. One thing we can all agree upon though is that they are both shite referees ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madbadteacher Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Has Oxlade-Chaimberlain stopped rolling yet? Could be an untapped source of free energy? Anyway, how on earth does anyone (and I'm including Wenger and pundits here) expect the Arse to win the CL with a squad not good enough to have won the EPL yet? The much vaunted Ramsey, Walcott, Wellbeck, Wilshere, O-C etc just aren't good enough (yes I realize there are injury issues here). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyrant Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Barca were awesome in the second half (didn't watch the first). They never panic and even when teams try and press and put them under pressure they're calm and pass the ball out of trouble and can break with devastating speed. Men against boys stuff.
