57V your frivolous point, that these people spend their time in darkened rooms addresses the nub of a very serious problem: we have no insight into who these people are, who appoints them and on what basis they make their decisions and on what basis their decisions may be questioned.

In terms of the actual incident itself, in real time, it was not even deemed a foul.
Shinnie got there ahead of the staggie and won the ball. End of.

But since then the incident has been scrutinized in stop motion, and bbc glesga quotes one of the paid up ref coterie Stuart Dougal saying it’s a red card all day long.

But it wasn’t Stuart…

Otherwise the ref in charge would have given it at the time.

Var should not be used in such instances.

It is in itself just another layer of subjective opinion.

This is shown starkly by their use of the word frivolous. A lack of respect for any club that all supporters of the game should find objectionable. And should be stamped out with more discernment than willie Johnson did to McMaster’s neck….

The only frivolous people here are the people in the darkened room…switch on the lights to view the masons in their clown outfits.
