Chris- making the unmissable missable- Iwelumo and Michael Stewart both put forward good cases citing why Jeggo’s tackle wasn’t even a foul never mind a sending off
Maybes Hibs should use the VT in their case to increase the growing heat on the SFA and their administration of VAR
Worth an appeal
Quite simply have to appeal that red card. It was astonishingly bad refereeingQuote:

If players get banned. refs should too…apparently he’s never been appointed to ref an OF game, but it’s alright for him to blunder his way through ours?
Why? Do you think the BBC should pay an artificially high rate for the show? Paying above the market value would be poor value for the BBC and possibly actionable.Quote:

But how would BBC paying more make that better? I thought the England internationals were on ITV? Surely the approach should be to increase interest and increase bidders?Quote:

I think the argument is Scottish viewers paying the same money whilst the bbc pump more money into the English game whilst getting the crap we do.Quote:

That's because no-one apart from the BBC wants to show Scottish football highlights.Quote:

Roots of international football. It's not popular with a number of FIFA members.Quote:
