  1. I appreciate your reply and I can understand why you've made these comments, but as far as making a decision's concerned a referee doesn't take into account the amount of time played. Also the laws and the directives in the laws have evolved over the past few years, and what would have been acceptable not so long ago aren't acceptable now. I hope you accept my explanations as these are based on the latest laws and directives. Once both feet were off the ground, the tackle became uncontrolled and with the way contact's made is considered to be endangering the safety of an opponent, and must be sanctioned as serious foul play, which is a red card . If Senna had slid along the ground with his studs up as they were then the card would have been yellow with contact in the same place, as there would then have been as aspect of control in the challenge. Had the tackle been controlled with the studs down, then only a DFK would have been awarded. If the tackle had been controlled with the studs up, then contact below the ankle would have been a yellow card, and above could have been a red card, depending on the speed and/or the intensity of the challenge. In this instance it was both studs up towards his opponent combined with the challenge being uncontrolled, and this endangered the safety of his opponent, so the referee had no option than to show the red card.
  2. It doesn't matter what time of a match an offence which warrants a card occurs, a card get is shown, even if it's the first or last second of the match, it doesn't matter. In this situation Senna's studs were up and both feet were off the ground at the time of impact so at that point the challenge becomes uncontrolled. Both of these would be taken into consideration when the contact happened. It looked like the contact was on the boot, which would have been a yellow card had the tackle been controlled with one foot still on the ground. The deciding factor for the straight red is both feet being off the ground at the time of impact.
  3. The new tops have just arrived and I'm very impressed!! Took 3 weeks to get to Oz which isn't too bad considering the restrictions we're having again. My only suggestion is I prefer the yellow to be less egg yolk in shade, more the yellow that's in this one from79/80, but that's just my personal preference.
  4. Four tops reaching out and winging their way to Australia
  5. Davie McParland, Bobby Gray, John Hansen (joined the Jags in 1967 and played in the hooped jersey. I remember seeing him play in the old strip), and George O'Neill
  6. L - R McKinnon, hidden unknown, O'Neil, McLindon, Mc Parland
  7. I still have a copy of that book which was given to me as a Christmas present in 1996. It's a good read with some great pictures. I can also remember trying on Jimmy Mason's Scotland caps at my grandmother's house when I was a wee boy.
  8. My grandson really likes mine and I said I'd get him the same one. It's a but disappointing they're not available any more
  9. Has the club stopped selling the tartan scarf? I've been looking online at the club shop but can't seem to find it any more.
  10. This actually is my first football strip. Before I emigrated in the early 80s I couldn't find a thistle shirt in the shops, so I wrote to the club on the off chance I could buy an old one. I was lucky enough to have one put aside for me by Donnie McKinnon which I picked up from Firhill a few days before I left. It's one of my prized possessions! (I also think this is one of the best club badges)
  11. This link gives far clearer explanations than the BBC http://theifab.com/document/for-football-bodies It should also be remembered that referees don't just read the law changes, but have to attend seminars about them, and workshop the applications and outcomes. I'll be interested to see the coming "debates" around them, especially handball, but when you look at the changes to that particular law it makes it far easier to interpret. Red and yellow cards in the technical area should hopefully temper the behaviour there, especially if the actual offender can't be identified, then the senior coach in the technical area gets the card. So it's up to the coach to keep his officials in check. Teams having the option of choice of ends of kick off at the coin toss is reverting back to the same as it used to be years ago, when the choice having kick off was removed. The BBC didn't mention the change to the "back pass" law. From this season if the ball is deliberately kicked to the GK by a team mate, or he receives it directly from a team mates throw in, he can handle it if he CLEARLY kicks or ATTEMPTS to kick the ball to release it into play
  12. These clips brought back a lot of memories, thanks for showing them. One piece of trivia has been answered for me. I was always 100% certain that the numbers on the yellow shirt were always black, as worn in the League cup final, but they had red numbers as well in some of the games. Thank goodness for colour film!
  13. I'm fairly certain I remember them wearing khaki as their clash colour. Not a colour I would like to have worn
  14. Luck would have had nothing to do with it. The A/R would have clearly seen that he didn't interfere with the play or opponents. The only way offside would have been given would have been if he'd touched the ball.
  15. I'd like to agree about the penalty claim, but taking into account the force both players are using against each other, and the positions of the ref and A/R, I don't think a penalty could have been given there
  16. Seeing the new strip being used rather than just modelled shows it in a different light. And it looks really good on the telly
  17. We were lucky to get the goal. Doolan was offside
  18. 3 - 0! and I got up at 4.30 to watch this
  19. Jaggernaut, if you're in Oz and have access to Foxtel, the game's on live. I'll be getting up at 4.30 to watch it, wrapped up against the cold and with several hot cups of tea
  20. That game was there for the taking
