I don't remember that. Do you mean at the end or duing the game? I remember
Novo being shoved by McGeady though. Maybe I have a selective memory problem
lol.

Yeah but two of your guys did it, that's worse ;-)

Most refs would give a yellow to be fair, however a foul like that is
blatantly "cheating". It does my nut in that so many pundits focus on diving
as cheating, which of course it is, but no-one gets injured from it
(actually apart from Thomson it seems), and the SFA is talking about
introducing two match bans after the event for diving.
But what big Jan did was "cheating" every bit as much and more so as it
could have injured the opponent. What do the pundits do? They call fouls
like this "a good foul". Respect to Andy Walker as he is one of the few guys
who calls it straight and acknowledges that there are various ways to cheat
in a football game, not just diving.

Nah it's not cheating, but ... it could have been a ploy to injure our
physio so McGregor couldn't get treatment and then couldn't continue! Aha!

I notice you ignore this point? Does this mean you agree that McManus scored
with his arm against Motherwell in your previous game? (And therefore the
ref should have turned a blind eye to Cueller? :-)

No I was just trying to strengthen my argument lol. I'm actually quite happy
with Alexander as a backup goalie, correct me if I'm wrong but he's a full
Scotland international? Not bad for a backup.
I also saw Roy Carroll's unfortunate performance for Derby County against
Aston Villa from the other day (6-0 to Villa, including a great goal from
Stan 'Scuba Diver' Petrov) and Carroll had a shocker. I'm glad to have
Alexander instead of Carroll as backup.
