The referee was a joke the night though and gave 2 penalties that weren't pks and tried to 'even it up', whilst denying us a stonewaller earlier. Craig Gordon was probably the main difference the day ...that and a shocking penalty from Nisbet.
I know its harsh to criticise JR with the form we've had this season but too often in the big games we haven't looked totally 'on it', haven't made the right changes. Hertz on the other hand made 2 good changes and we just didn't know how to deal with it.
They really are a bunch of dirty, anti-football cloggers but we knew that already. How I would love to snap that c*nt Halliday. Collum let them away with absolute murder the day.
Im consoling myself that at least I didnt have to get back home from Hampden after that.
The great irony in these kinda matches is the fact that no fans attend them and I've already previously commented on a number of occasions to friends and family members that this is "surreal footie" that we are watching during a pandemic and, in a lotta cases, it is "footie in an echo chamber". Even for any trophy winners it is the same surreal, artificial, scenario with no fans to really add to the occasion and that is a fact. Some of the live games in England and in Euro footie are actually in the "same boat" played in empty stadia, many of them absolutely boring "bounce matches" and I must say I don't watch a lotta these live matches for a full 90 mins. As described previously - surreal and different! And it aint gonna change any time soon!! Of course, the implications for many footie clubs could well be existential ones!!
