Should Boruc have been sent off?

I've seen the controversal incident six or seven times now and IMO he should have walked. If that was an outfield player the decision would have been different.

No question. How many decisions have went Celtic's way this season? Hope we get it right up them on saturday.

I've looked at it a few times and can see why it was only a yellow. When Dargo nodded to ball past Boruc it was going away from goal and there were also two covering defenders. However, it was a high, dangerous tackle that could have caused a seriuos injury and could (should) have been punished with a red. I do believe if that same situation had happened with Esson/Fraser or any other goalkeeper outwith the OF he would have walked.

Watched it on the BBC this morning - definite red....stupid challenge....he is a very lucky man only to get a yellow....I don't think he would have had too many arguements if it had been an early bath....

Then again the manager may have had a bit more to say about it.... :rotflmao:

Leaving aside whether it denied a clear goal scoring opportunity, the tackle itself was reckless and could have resulted in serious injury. It merited a red card in my opinion.

Although deep down I believe he was considering going for the abll it was a reckless challenge, which would have resulted in 3 months in Barlinnie if it happened in the city centre. Dargo took the ball round the 'keeper and regardless of the defenders you would have expected him to score.

So it was capable of a red card not only for its recklessness but also stopping a clear goal scoring opportunity.

No OF biasedy? Aye right!

red card for me for the tackle alone.

He should of been sent of.

I saw the incident on the highlights!

plus Brown would of played on Saturday and we would stand more of a chance on Saturday.

This shows how difficult a refs job is. I have seen it from all angles. From main tv angle...it looked a stonewaller. Seen from other angles, Boruc withdrew his leg and i wouldnt have sent him off. A booking at most

Maybe a 'superhero' that's more local?

She has made a bob or two in Hollywood, and will hopefully be set for life for income from appearances at ComiCon or similar etc after both Dr Who, as well as Guardians of the Galaxy and Avengers appearances, not to mention Jumanji and the forthcoming Highlander remake. She likely has a few friends in the business with pots of cash (The Rock? Dave Bautista? Jack Black? Henry Cavill?) and more importantly seems to value her Scottish and Highland roots and is a big supporter of Mikeys Line as well....
... and she likes football

Just bought the away kit (and assuming the home one will be sized the same), I'd recommend treating it like you would Erreà, by going a size, maybe two, up. And, like the Erreà kits, the sponsor is actually part of the fabric, so you won't need to worry about anything getting sticky and ruined by the wash
That said, the new shop looks really nice and theres a load of room to move around now, rather than having to squeeze past each other. Only downside is there's only one fitting room, so you could be waiting a while if you are also indecisive on whether to go one size up or two.

I agree and understand the consolidation point. I know most supporters don’t give a toss, however I will add we also need a succession plan in place ie 3 and 5 year framework. If we are to limit or mitigate catastrophic cliff edges (of past yore), then this subject should be on the Boards agenda. If they act like the past and think that’s for the next Owner and CEO, then we’ve learned ZIP.
On field activities and success or failure run hand in hand with the off field ones. AS has and is doing his bit (within the limits of the budget (+ emergency pot)) he has set himself. A two or three year run in the CHPS would better the club’s position for better outside investment.
Avoiding relegation this season must be the priority. Anything else could put us back more than I care to consider.
Just putting it out there as I feel it’s relevant.

For me, this season is about staying in the Championship, so I see anything better than 8th as a bonus.
We’ve a tough start, playing the three teams that made the play offs last season, and could easily find ourselves at the wrong end of the table.
It’s hard to know what teams will be strong, but if we can finish above two of Morton, Queens Park and Stenhousemuir, we will have maintained our place in the Championship.
Let’s all go into the season with realistic expectations and knowing that it’s going to be hard.

finishing anywhere above 9th will do for me. Would prefer it to be comfortably above 9th, but consolidation this season is the key.
