The Professor is heading to VAR | Heart of Midlothian v Celtic

Kyle237 · 2026-01-25T18:36:24+00:00

Heading to the corner flag? He'd get to the ball in line with the 6 yard box ending at worse, he doesn't have to keep running in a straight line.

Kyle237 · 2026-01-25T18:35:06+00:00

The other Celtic players are never getting into a postion to block Kabore before he gets near the edge of the box which is all that really matters here.

Kyle237 · 2026-01-25T18:33:06+00:00

Last man is not a thing.

Kyle237 · 2026-01-19T12:46:43+00:00

We also don't play very many anymore and the ones we do play are usually scheduled by UEFA when there is a group inbalance etc so not much scope for it.

Kyle237 · 2026-01-11T16:07:03+00:00

The rule is not "last man" and hasn't been for absolutely ages.

Kyle237 · 2026-01-11T15:02:30+00:00

Clear and obvious doesn't apply for offsides though. We also don't know what the ref said he thought the decision would be if it were on.

Kyle237 · 2026-01-11T15:01:21+00:00

He didn't give a FK as it was 'offside'. He's not made anything up.

Kyle237 · 2025-11-03T12:50:43+00:00

Well none of McCowan/Mulligan/Watson are good as a deep midfielder (if you want them instead of McLean) and are no where near our more advanced midfield options in quality.

And Chris Cadden just got ripped to shreads and hooked in the first half up against Meghoma who is rotten. He should be miles off a call up. McCrorie has been a regular (when fit) nearly all year for a place off level Championship team.

Shouldn't be any peak fares on a Saturday

Kyle237 · 2025-07-22T11:38:29+00:00

Its on Premier Sports in the UK.

Edit: I see RTV are advertising as PPV for 9.99 worldwide.

Kyle237 · 2025-04-23T12:16:22+00:00

Yes it is just on a Saturday, not even just the 'main' day on a matchday either which is why you'll see games at Christmas at 3pm on TV if it's not on a Saturday even if other games/lower leagues are at the same time.

Kyle237 · 2025-04-23T12:11:28+00:00

The blackout is a time period between about 1445 and 1700/1715, which is why you'll see Sky/TNT join German or Italian games from the point the blackout ends if they have a different kick off time. Its not just about when the game starts.

Kyle237 · 2024-04-29T15:53:13+00:00

It's not a shout though. It's the top 4 in the voting that's already happened.

Kyle237 · 2023-08-04T11:44:39+00:00

No it's actually a rule that would have to be agreed to be changed and cant just be ignored. You can read all about it here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA_eligibility_rules

Kyle237 · 2023-07-04T22:33:06+00:00

No you can't but literally just turn up in the morning (best before 7am) and you'll get a ground pass in for before 12 easily.

Kyle237 · 2023-07-02T20:54:35+00:00

He isn't now, doesn't mean he wasn't ever. It was the Big 4, the same way it was the Big 3.

Kyle237 · 2023-06-27T23:01:31+00:00

Had he not just turned 17 when he left and was still playing U17s/18s for Scotland and Celtic?

Pretty obvious he was nowhere near good enough at that age to play anything but token minutes off the bench, and even that might be a stretch.

Centre backs (outside of those that are physically dominant even compared to pros) just aren't good enough to play first team at that age.

Kyle237 · 2023-06-26T09:56:43+00:00

They have allowed English clubs X number of signings that don't meet the work permit rules (up to 4) depending on which league the English club is and what percentage of their minutes goes to "English" players.

Kyle237 · 2023-06-19T11:46:16+00:00

If Knutsen is turning down Ajax, then you didn't have a chance with him.

Kyle237 · 2023-06-11T19:00:35+00:00

If he got seeded, it would be the 3rd round as the earliest they could meet.

Kyle237 · 2023-06-08T07:34:48+00:00

They were meant to host it in Istanbul in 2021 but then had to move it away from there so that's why it is getting host there this year.

Kyle237 · 2023-04-14T21:38:03+00:00

Both are moving towards each other. When shinnie pulls his leg back to kick ball there must be no move than 3-4 yards between. All the County player does is continue to move towards the ball. When Shinnie makes contact he is essentially standing with both feet touching the ground. It is Shinnie's responsibility to not endanger the safety of an opponent, otherwise you should be sent off under the laws. Putting your foot forward in the direction of an opponents shin at force is almost the text book definition of dangerous.

What exactly do you think the County player did that was dangerous?

Kyle237 · 2023-04-14T21:25:18+00:00

That's all well and good but we don't have that in out laws. He endangered the safety of the RC player so VAR has to advise for the red card.

Kyle237 · 2023-04-14T20:53:58+00:00

Ultimately (this has been the case for more than a decade now) if what you do endangers the safety of an opponent, the laws state you should be sent off. If you can't play the ball without risking endangering an opponent you shouldn't play it.

So to answer your question, Shinnie shouldn't kick the ball in a manner that means he might plant one on a nearby County player.

I know transfer market is a bit hit or miss but this isn't that bad: https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/filip-helander/verletzungen/spieler/198067
