Scottish football

[Harryflashman]

Listening to a bit of fallout from the Kilmarnock Celtic game where Boyd was hit by a coin and suffered what is considered sectarian abuse . Also Kilmarnock complaining about seats being smashed , fans and smoke bombs on the pitch. So far it Doesn’t seem to have got as much publicity as the Lennon incident , although it does seem another controversial character in Scottish football has had a club thrown at him and it does seem to be a problem .

All this carry on about brown being sent off.
His first yellow could have been a red.
Although kirk broadfoot showed brooner how to tackle with intent.

Im not a big lover of Celtic either.But to be honest while in general i have no issues with english/british folk.Im not overly keen on you patriotic our brave boys in the Falklands, britania rules the waves types.btw I think @The Celtic View is a fine poster.Obviously i hope Rangers win the scottish cup now.In fact anyone but Celtic would do, with the exception of Aberdeen perhaps. But Rangers have improved this year.

Won't be aberdeen.
Killiie will knock the dons out next Sunday.

I think the second yellow was bang on , rules are laid out nothing to complain about basically . As regards the first tackle there is certainly an argument it’s a red but you could also make a case for a yellow , I don’t think it was clear .

Maybe down South, but up here it's hardly been out of the news. The reaction to the damaged seats has been a tad OTT, with statements from Kilmarnock about how Celtic will have to pay for the damaged seats, when it's a standard thing amongst clubs that they pay for the damage. Some of the outrage was tempered last night when Richard Gordon revealed Aberdeen billed Rangers for 200 damaged seats after their recent game at Pittodrie, but, as in all other incidents of this kind of vandalism/over exuberance, Aberdeen didn't go to the press to whine about it.

Aberdeen handled the situation the way all clubs handle it. They just billed the visiting club for any damage. Why Kilmarnock would issue a statement about how they expect Celtic to pay for any damaged sets, when they already know the rules say it, and that's definitely what will happen seats is beyond me.

I hope they catch the moron who threw the coin, and ban him. Players, and managers, should be able to go about their business without having to worry about people throwing objects at them. Who do these people think they are, that they have the right to try and hurt someone, because they don't like him, or the result isn't gong the way they had hoped?

If Scott Brown had been sent of for his first yellow card, it would have been insanely harsh, in my opinion, and we'd be getting to the stage where any sliding tackle that doesn't result in contact with the ball would be an instant red card. One of the Killie players committed a foul on McGregor that was worse, in my opinion, and didn't even get a yellow card for it.

Brown can have no complaint about his second yellow card. Although the rule that players can't celebrate with their fans is garbage, it is the rule, well for Celtic and Rangers players at least, and they know if they go to where the fans are, they will almost certainly be booked.

As I said it could have been red .
But yes .
In the scope of the last minute winner v a very good killie side a card was harsh.

Harsh, but that is what tends to happen to Celtic, and Rangers, players if they celebrate with the fans. Players of other club may get a pass, but if you do it you know there's a chance you'll get carded.

You’d get a card in the prem for it I’d suggest

Really? I'm surprised at that. Officials up here say they've been asked by Police Scotland to book players who go into the crowd to celebrate,. though, as I said, it tends to be applied more to Celtic, and Rangers, players.

It's an absolute disgrace UEFA ban games from being shown on TV when the Champions league is on.

UEFA don't want teams from countries like Scotland playing in the tournament, but when our teams aren't in it we cant even see their games on telly because UEFA have decided we've to be force fed the same old same old Real V Bayern, or Juventus v Barcelona games.

In the past few years there have been two Edinburgh derby replays in the Scottish Cup, and two Rangers - Kilmarnock replays, that haven't been allowed to be televised because the games clashed with the CL.

Remember when we couldn't get live bbc games from England.
