He’s obviously unaware of the rules.
The officials in Scotland are years behind the top officials in standards and knowledge... the fact they are not professionals means they don't give a toss, in my opinion.
If we think EPL and the likes are working out all the kinks of VAR then we are mistaken, if, and thats a big IF, we get VAR then i can tell you know our officials will bumble their way through that as well.
I mean when was the last time you saw an official telling a player to leave by the nearest byline? There's no fans in now so no excuse about player safety?
Inconsistent enforcement and use of the newer offside regulations about letting play go on til the play finishes....
Handball in the box still applied inconsistently.
Sending off hedges and giving a penalty in the Dons v Huns game... incorrectly applied rules.
I could go on... and i implore anyone to add to this list.....!
Can bash them about a lot but the Hedges one they correctly applied the rules when it would be easy not to. He never made a play for the ball so red card was correct, even if I don’t necessarily agree with that.Quote:

It’s not open to debate. If you foul someone trying to win the ball you won’t be sent off, if you handball, pull or foul someone without trying to win the ball you’ll be sent off.Quote:

It wasn’t a free kick, but it was a fantastical free kick taken. Is what it is.
Is it not about a thousand pounds now? Think it was 800 when they had their strikeQuote:

A few minutes before the free kick Turnbull was being harassed, completely fairly, by Gogic. Turnbull was waving his arms about & shouting for a free kick. I knew then he would be going to ground as soon as possible & unfortunately S McGinn gave him that opportunity. What gets me is , the idiot that is Andy Walker, stating McGinn was nowhere near the ball. He clearly made contact with the ball, whether under current iterpretations the follow through could be deemed a foul is possible, but commentators making incorrect statements with complete certainty is ridiculous!
Thing is there is no follow through, he flicks the ball away and his foot lands on the ground. It's Turnbull's momentum into the Hibs player that makes him lose balance. Never a foul.Quote:

I agree on both points. :agree:Quote:

I'm sorry but that is never a free kick. I had a go at McGinn on the match thread having heard it over the radio and I fully take it back.
Andy Walker is a blinkered Celtic-obsessed moron - no surprise that he is incapable of objective observation - what is a surprise is that TV producers allow him anywhere near a microphone.Quote:

I hate to say it but that's what it looks like to me too.Quote:

Except standing in the wall, blocking the keepers view (can see Macey looking around trying to get a view). The rule states he must be 1m away when the kick is taken, he’s standing right on the edge of the wall. As clear a foul as you’ll see.Quote:

Debateable as to whether he blocks the view, given that there's also five or six Hibs players in front of him (Macey), but yes, he's definitely not 1m away from the wall. Makes you wonder why a player gets involved in the wall if the rules are so clear cut. It was a brilliant free kick, why would anyone compromise that with so little to gain?Quote:

Still no seeing a McGinn touch. Turnbull turns in to trouble because of his first touch, he ends up about side on to goal, flicks the ball away and buys a foul.Quote:
