They possibly haven't had time yet to abrogate their duties re the Firhill officials. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everybody makes mistakes,but imo the ref should have been onto Firhill first thing Monday morning to apologise.They ask for respect you have to earn respect.

Gary Peebles Tackle Posted September 4, 2018 Report Share Posted September 4, 2018 Just a crazy decision. Can’t say I blame any Morton players - professionals use the rules to their advantage & at 1-0 they have a much better chance of getting a win bonus etc. Not saying it’s ‘sporting’, but sadly that particular strain of integrity in Scottish football went a long time ago...

Jaggydave Posted September 5, 2018 Report Share Posted September 5, 2018 Another thought - what if the Morton player had kicked it up the pitch instead of out, say near the half way line and the ball stays in play. Thistle players all at the JH stand ' celebrating' nearly scoring, ref doesn't stop game, Morton players realise ball is live and stroll up and score. That would have easily resulted in at least Erskine getting set off along with potential others as all hell breaks loose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still wouldn't have got as much airtime/press coverage as the foul on Ryan Jack. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My intention was to link the donation to the event and I've had a reply from Gerry Britton who has now set up a Just Giving page and fans are already contributing there. https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/ghostgoal 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I noticed (and I don't pay attention to OF stuff but even I still noticed) including demands for ref to be demoted. And that for what seemed to me a 50-50 decision. IMHO out of a hundred games 50 refs would give a foul for that and fifty wouldn't. I see no retrospective punishment for Ferguson though it was a red card all day long. That mob must wish the SFA were in charge of Glasgow Council. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
