Anyone watching this roaster defending the tramps re the sending off ,,,"robbies quite right to voice his opinions on the ref".......how this toss*r got anywhere Easter Road beggars belief.

[cleanyman]

The analysis on this show is the worst in the world

[FromTheCapital]

It wasn't a red in my opinion but it was a definite free kick and a yellow card. How Stewart can say that's it's not a foul is beyond me!

Seething :greengrin

[LancsHibs]

To be fair he's usually quite sound in his analysis.

[LaMotta]

The most disgraceful thing about Sportscene tonight is Stuart McCall's horrific cardigan!

[Mcpakeisgod]

He's bang on, never a sending off, take off the tinted specs and look at it for what it is

[Big Ed]

I agree; but he's wrong this time.

[E10 Rifle]

I think Stewart is bang on...and was also good for us when he played. There you go.

[Bostonhibby]

What's the establishment yams problem? Are they up in arms because the officials forgot to give their boys their penalty this week?

[Bishop Hibee]

His hair looks like he been taking tips from Cameron Diaz role in "Something About Mary."

[E10 Rifle]

Look at Sportscene though -it's the Editorial decisions that are trying to make it controversial when often it's not required. I reckon the average post-match managers interview will last 4-5mins, and we get to see 10-20 seconds of that. The Editor chooses the clip where the manager complains about the ref and then the presenter turns to the studio guests and says...'controversy there, what's your view?' No win. It's all kack - let's make our own mind up (we can't even agree on this board about Hibs half the time)

[NadeAteMyLunch!]

Even more ridiculous that he's just suggested Aberdeen's hand ball goal should probably stand as it wasn't deliberate hand ball by Rooney. He just about caught the ball for crying out loud

I agree with you about how the editorial team can stir things up, but on this occasion, Neilson has, more or less, called Collum a cheat.

I agree with Stewart that Collum shouldn't be our top ref, but there is no way a manager can say that about a match official and not expect to incur the wrath of the authorities.

You can't expect the Editor to skip something like that.

He said 9/10 times it'd be handball.

But the rule book says it has to be deliberate - maybe the rules should be changed?

Agreed. The radio played the full interview last night and if anything it was more damming! Neilson started off by trying to be clever about "the official" but couldn't keep it up and just started mud slinging.

The **** should get a huge touch line ban, otherwise the precedent is set and refs will be called out every single week.

[givescotlandfreedom]

Neilson is a fud

Agree, that decision needs explored, but seriously, every single match if you listened to the Editorial cuts tonight hinged on a refs decision. It's boring, and unreflective of the majority of games.

Anyway, now we have the joys on Jason Roberts on MOTD2. I've never met or heard a more one dimensional individual where he believes only one issue is at the heart of all everyday decisions. Should be interesting zzzzzz

:agree:

I can see why the boy was sent off. Reckless and out of control going into the challenge imho.

As for Chewbacca, his comments were out of order, especially when the stats don't actually support his argument.

[Slim Shady]

Reckless tackle is only a yellow card though if you read the rules.

Can you provide a link to that?

I quite like Michael Stewart and his views on football at most other times, but this was one of the most memorable moments watching jambos.

Frankly he is one of the best pundits on Scottish football, summerises the various games pretty well.

[#FromTheCapital]

Frankly he's a bell-end.

[Nutmegged]

I think he's one of the best pundits we have, quite like his take on games and isn't afraid to put someones nose out of joint to speak honestly about the game, maybe he'll be a bit more passionate when his own team have been hard done too, I can handle that, I don't always agree with him but can always see why he's making a point, I quite like that.

I like him as well. Noticeable last night that they kept going to him cos he's willing to give an opinion, McCall just sat and said yes it was a good goal and that.

The pundits job has to be to give an opinion, surely?

[Tricla]

Michael Stewart is a massive, massive welt.

[HIBERNIAN-0762]

Neilson is a fud

And is also second in command. :agree:

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

Sure that he wanted a penalty when he fell over in tunnel?

To be fair, I think he is decent pundit and he had some really good games for us.

[Thecat23]

Stewart is one of the better pundits out there! He's usually spot on and he's always honest! Says it how it is. Unlike some other roasters on the BBC.

[NAE NOOKIE]

Stewart is probably the best pundit on the telly when it comes to Scottish football. IMO it was a borderline sending off, to me it didn't look like the Yam was trying to hurt the Hamilton player ...... That doesn't make it any less funny mind :greengrin

Somebody should tell Neilson to wash his hair :greengrin

[PISTOL1875]

Neilson obviously feels he has been hard done by hear and is quite entitled to speak out.. Officials are far too overly protected in this country and have been for years..

I just wish Hibs would sometimes take a leaf from his book and speak out when they are shafted..

[Aldo]

Jobbie is nowt but a F off grade a yam roaster whose thrown the rattle oot the pram cos his team had a few decisions against them.

GIRFUYYFYF!

[ancient hibee]

Don't think handball has to be deliberate.Also doesn't matter if you get the ball -it can still be a dangerous tackle.

Stewart is a good pundit but of course has the advantage of being able to say what he likes as he doesn't have a job in football.It's ridiculous that the BBC also use people on Sportscene who are involved in the game and therefore have to watch what they say.

[cocopops1875]

He certainly wasn't wrong when he said "ask any teams fans about him and they will say the same"

[anon1875]

I like him

[PISTOL1875]

you should see what he says about him in the Sun today

[Slim Shady]

Can you provide a link to that?

Reckless tackle - player shall be cautioned

[HappyAsHellas]

The same rules say that if a player "lunges" at an opponent from behind, the side, or in front then it is serious foul play which is a straight red.

No wonder the refs are inconsistent!
