Upbeat and Shocked !

[steviex]

the point that refs are human really irks me... The are NOT just human. They are trained specialists paid £840 a match to get this right!! (eqiv. £336 an hour if you count 30min before and after a match!)

Deplorable that for such a high fee these guys are making mistakes in games every week, and it's not even the most highly contested matches with world class players they have to keep up with!

The Air Asia pilot that flew his plane into the ocean was a trained specialist, paid extremely well.. he made a mistake. The blooody Government are paid exceptionally well and they fpuck up all our lives every day.

The dropped ball situation is surely one for further action. It's not a matter of opinion; it's not a matter of being unsighted, or of interpretation. It's a law of the game.
Both of our claims should have resulted either in penalties or bookings for our guys. There was neither.
I still find no comfort in the 'things even out over the season' argument, whether it's pens or other decisions. A Maths - teaching colleague (a former pro footballer, but, sadly a Heart of Midlothian supporter) assures me that logically there is no reason why they should even out. Even if dodgy decisions did balance out numerically, a dubious penalty 'for' when your 0 - 5 down in the 90th minute isn't worth as much as one at 0 - 0 in a ***** relegation match.
But the debate will go on!!

Exactly this kind of debate will NEVER end and only acts to irritate and distract from the real issue and that was we still got humped.

That's quite a sick example, but to take you up on it; there aren't planes crashing every week, and they certainly don't get 30 grand a year for turning up a few hours once a week. Therefore, over paid and under delivering on a consistent basis.

Don't talk p1sh there is nothing sick about it. There was no ridicule in it , there was no malice in it it shows that humans are fallible they make mistakes. If anything it should put things in perspective for many fans who go off the deep end , no one died no one was injured no one was scared for life by the ref it was two penalty claims FFS and if we weren't so god damn awful as a team we wouldn't be clutching at the ref

[quote="mix106"]I know we have been playing rubbish, but I too had hope like some of you that there was an improvement. I listened to it on Radio Scotland and followed on twitter and we sounded much better. We did show some pride and competed, which all of us have been asking for as a minimum.

I have watched the highlights and was aghast that our two penalty claims were turned down. Whether this would have made any difference to the result is an unknown, but they should have been given, although is always subject of an opinion.

What is not subject of an opinion is the laws of the game, which were not followed as far I can ascertain. I read that a dropped ball took place after the disallowed goal and he shooed away Pearson and below are the laws.

I was originally from Wishaw and have been in Dorset for coming up to 15 years. Boscombe (East Bournemouth) is more like Motherwell.

You can hardly compare Windmillhill Street with Sea Road or Orbiston Street with Hawkswood Road.

A good point well made.

Just had a look on google maps street level view and you certainly couldn't.

Oh FFS grow up and get off the offended bus. No offence was made or inferred and to try and make it so is ludicrous. The point was people in all walks of lives make mistakes some are hugely important some aren't and referees mistakes don't matter a fpuck, but you knew that anyway but its better to try and make it into something it wasn't. However seeing as you lost interest in this thread before making your point I expect you won't be reading this.
