On now. First game St Mirren v Dundee United. Horrendous tackle by Butcher of United. Red card all day long.
Wonder how much of this week's episode will be devoted to McNulty's challenge?
What time is this on?

What's the point in the pundits saying 'it's a red' when it's already been established earlier this season that you're allowed to kick out at people?Quote:

If you watch the replay, McGowan’s foul goes on for at least 20 yards and ends up with him throwing McNulty to the ground then intentionally kneeing him in the thigh. By the time McNulty commits the so called kick out at McGowan his head is buried in the grass with McGowan pushing down on him. McNulty has no way of knowing where McGown is. McGowan’s boot then comes into contact with McNulty’s head. McGowan committed at least three fouls during the incident and McNulty was upside down with his head planted in the turf when the movement of his foot took place. There’s no way that should be a red for McNulty. McGowan should have been off.Quote:

Saturday's MOS was a good example. Dundee v Hibs match was a great game with 6 goals, but they dedicated the whole of the first third of the report to .... McNulty's phantom kick out. The only surprise was it wasn't repeated in the Editors Comment section, supported with the compliance officer's phone number. They had so much to say about McNulty's vicious attack that left the Dundee player unconscious and hospitalised that they had no room left to even mention the Dundee player's deliberate boot on Milligan's head.
I made it around 35 secondsQuote:

Thompson & Miller a nice impartial combo....
Thompson is a plank, banging on about clubs statements (a direct reference to LD's statement methinks) as being "empty words". Jeez it's what he does for a living now !!! Not once during their snide attacks, implying it was every other clubs responsibility, did any of them have the minerals to speak out about the historically ingrained, vile, threatening bigoted behaviour of either of the uglies. More concerned at the reception they would get on their next visit to either of these places upon their next pilgrimage to lap up their heroes.Quote:

Incredible Rob McLean was trying to make a case for Gray being sent off for 2 booking including one I couldnt even remember which was hugely selective editing. Pretty sure they were trying to do the same in the st mirren match a few weeks back. No mention of Morelos antics, trying to say the ball hitting Milligans hand was a pen, morelos claimed for it so it must have been. Bizarrely missed McNulty's shot when through v McGregor. Ryan Jack may as well just take the whistle and be done with it.Quote:

He just has no interest in painting any kind of picture of the game at all, he just rambles on about stuff he'd prepared beforehand which everyone knows already ('Celtic would really like the three points today' , 'What Dundee really want to avoid is conceding an early goal') and literally any old ***** that comes to his head.Quote:

Rob McLean`s commentary is dull and projected with little in the way of enthusiasm. I know a lot of folk are not keen on Liam McLeod, but at least he gives the impression that he is enjoying commentating on his games.Quote:

Lot of empty seats at Ibrox for a 49000 crowd, wonder if Richard Gordon will comment on that next Sportsound, mocked Hibs for stating 17k on Sat.
Happens at every club so everyone needs to cool their jets about it
Classy McGregor as usual. Goldson commits a bad challenge, and McGregor tries to boot the ball at the Killie player who was fouled
Just pointed that out to my wife.Quote:
