Are Paigntonhibby! We had the cheek to beat their beloved favourites, Rangers FC, in dramatic fashion and then celebrate on the pitch after 108 years of waiting lol!
We've been observing this phenomenon from last season hfcb! Lets face it, our play off elimination v Falkirk was an absolute farce with diabolical ref decisions playing a huge part in it - in a similar fashion that you've described in yesterday's match. We were denied the opportunity to take full control of a play off semi-final. That dismissed stonewall pk decision v Ayr was just another instance of a referee somehow changing the FIFA rule to suit some kinda personal agenda - it was an easy decision to award that pk but he didn't and we've seen many other instances of this failure. I tend to compare some of the 'soft pk awards' that are given at various Scottish footie grounds and shown in tv highlights, some of them blatant simulation by the way, and I wonder, as remarked in previous threads, what is going on!! We should be currently in a far superior top of the league position than we actually are and I'd say we should be at least 9 pts ahead of Dundee United if not even more than that pts deficit! It's a disgrace and I hope we 'can take the hit' and it doesn't affect our end of season position in the Championship
However, is this refereeing nonsense gonna continue well into the more treacherous winter season???

At 1-0 Ayr are still in the game even though we won 3-0 I just feel it could have put to bed with more ease. What cracking save from big Rocky.
GGTTH
