Frankie Posted January 17, 2008 Author Share Posted January 17, 2008 Originally posted by ATW:Problem with that Rangers, and Celtic don't seem to moan about if every other week. Although saying that if I was a Gretna fan who benefited from it last night neither would I, maybe that is why it happens... Rangers don't moan every other week because we realise bad decisions do often even themselves out. Nonetheless guys like Richmond, McDonald and Brines are consistently awful and how they have ever reached the top flight of refereeing is beyond me. In all the time I've been going to football I've never seen such inconsistent, bizarre and inaccurate refereeing. Yet is nothing is done about it - probably because when managers complain that are censured and/or deemed bad losers while the media only highlight bad officiating when it suits them.

They can get away with anything because, unlike the SPL officials, there are no TV cameras to show them up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, all the above suggests a real problem with the coaching of these people. Being a ref/linesman isn't easy and I'd take issue with anyone who suggested these people were actually cheating. However, incompetency should never be acceptable and considering these people are paid for their contribution, questions should be asked why they make the same mistakes - time after time after time.

Ladle Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 Robson expects Ehiogu to sign up Sheffield United manager Bryan Robson says he is close to signing defender Ugo Ehiogu from Rangers. The 35-year-old joined the Glasgow club in January 2007 from Middlesbrough, but has made just one appearance this term. "We just need to have one last discussion with Walter Smith to see if he'll allow Ugo to leave but it is looking favourable," said Robson. "I've worked with Ugo before and he's interested in coming so that looks like a transfer that will go through." The former England defender made an impact at Rangers in his first Old Firm match when he scored the only goal in theat Celtic Park in March. Blades boss Robson paid £8m to take Ehiogu to Middlesbrough from Aston Villa in 2000, where he stayed for seven seasons. Towards the end of his time at The Riverside he went on loan to Leeds United before joining Rangers on a free transfer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbo22 Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 I really hate Dailly as a footballer, I think its that ****ing hairdo. Bad signing if true. Although we wont see him he'll basically be a replacement for Ehiogu. I'd rather we went out and got a replacement for Weir who's done. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SI Staff Ter Posted January 17, 2008 SI Staff Share Posted January 17, 2008 Ehiogu has been released and is away for talks with Sheffield Utd Looks like Dailly will come in as his replacement. Will also provide cover in midfield if needed, which is likely given that Thomson looks like being missing for a month or so. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SI Staff Ter Posted January 17, 2008 SI Staff Share Posted January 17, 2008 I don't really see what the problem is with Dailly signing. It's not like he's going to form a partnership with Weir and keep Cuellar out of the team. He's an experienced player that is there for cover incase we get any injuries. A wise move IMO considering Ehiogu is gone, Weir is 95 and Webster always seems to be injured. That only really leaves Broadfoot as backup if something goes wrong. In midfield we're already a bit short. Thomson is injured and the backup there is Amdy Faye and Dean Furman who are pish and unproven respectively. Dailly can provide cover there as well if needed but, again, he's not going to keep Ferguson, Hemdani or Thomson out of the team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
McD Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 I'm sure he will do a job for us but we're not in dire straits like we were a year ago. We should be building not continually employing stop-gaps. It's the same reason I didn't want Steven Pressley, the same reason I didn't want Steve Banks. The cheap, lazy, ageing option.

Stamford Bridge Location: London, England What's Cool: It's like Fenway Park, only with action and noise included. ----------------------------------------- Chelsea Football Club play smack in the middle of swinging London, in what was formerly Austin Powers territory and is today home to many trendy bars and restaurants. The stadium, called Stamford Bridge, was built in 1904 and offers a cozy atmosphere with a capacity of only 28,000. On the field, Chelsea aims to please, and the club has been accused of valuing showmanship more than winning. No matter what the motive, there is no doubt that this soccer is exciting to watch. The Bridge is a stylish stadium for a stylish team. Such drivel Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerFurball Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 By accounts a scrappy performance at the scumhut this afternoon.

FrazT Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 Its a testament to how far ICT have come that we no longer look on a vist to Inverness as a guaranteed 3 points and indeed consider it one of the more difficult away fixtures.

McD Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 We've looked better going forward at 4-5-1 since McCulloch's been out partly because he doesn't have the pace or creativity to fit into that formation, partly because we've been forced to keep the ball on the deck.
