Imagine playing in these conditions? Disgraceful ! No wonder Miles was beat when he was subbed. How can any team play at their best and entertain the crowds in such conditions? By the end the players looked more like rugby participants than SPL figures.
Summer football is a must --for the players and the fans. Attendances would go up also IMHO. Why do the Scottish Football authorities hang on to such outdated and primitive rites, such as Winter football? Nobody benefits without a major cost, so why?
Their penalty was unmerited. The Caley player could never have avoided being hit by a very hard shot and the player says he was hit on the shoulder which was what I thought as well when I saw the highlights before I read what he said. Mind you, our penalty was a really soft one also and how it could be construed that our boy was in a scoring position facing away from the goalmouth and almost on the outer edge of the box is mind-blowing.
Strange how you rarely if ever see the ref running to the linesman to seek his opinion? Since they are both wearing headsets then can we assume that a fair assessment has been made on the incident. Mr. Collum kept his whistle in his pants during the cup final and it was a good performance from him but , once again, he still seems to be controversial with the bread-and-butter stuff and this business of levelling up, either to appease the crowd or just because he feels he may have made a prior mistake, is not a great, or fair, way to go about his business. He is not the guy to decide the outcome of a match; that's up to the players and how they perform and/or react to incidents. If he makes a mistake he should stop there and move on and simply try to do better the next time.
