STV BIAS

Despite the fact that we are well ahead of both the Edinburgh clubs and doing the county proud ,waited to hear of any news of Livingston in their sports roundup.Should have known better.Hibs this Hearts that blah blah blah.Iknow of course they are much bigger clubs but for fechs sake at a time when we are doing so well and not a sausage.Really gets up ma jillups.Cmon STV.Shame on you.Rant over.

I agree... but also the longer we remain under the radar the better.

Actually I think there's a strong chance that Hibs will end up in the bottom half; particularly with Killie starting to pick up their performances

Gets on my tits too Troy, every day the last few weeks I've been saying that to my wife, here comes the sporting news, what's the bet we don't hear a word about how well Livi are doing. Hearts blah de blah, onto Hibs, blah de fecking blah, and now onto rugby, away and shite ya bunch of arseholes.

The bbc are finally catching on, though it took them a bloody while, as well as sportscene talking about us getting a top 4 spot, and dismissing the long ball tag as nonsense now, there's a piece on us in the sporting page, also quoting stats that don't back up the big physical team shite we have been tagged with. Giving bookings and fouls against us stats and comparing it to the rest of the league, and we're nowhere near the worst for getting cards. Funnily enough Motherwell are on 8 cards more than us.

Is that on the BBC website or in the papers LF?

I would have thought Hamilton were the worst - they seem to manage to get a player sent off every third game?

Yep, i'm sure Sevco are above us for red cards too.

Gary Holt's men are like kittens in comparison to Hamilton Accies, who have seven red cards to Livingston's two.

One of ours was a 2nd yellow for Dykes, and his first yellow was for nudging a Sevco player's arse as he was bending down to place the ball for a free kick, not exactly for dirty, or physical play. And Souda's was hardly physical play either, when he attempted an overhead kick.

Last season we finished 3rd best in the fairplay card count table, as in the least amount of cards (54 yellows/2 reds), with St Johnstone and Celtic having less cards than us.

So far this season we're sitting mid-table in 6th place (41 yellows/2 reds).

Yet we get tagged with being a big physical team, which the stats show as made up nonsense.

Not to mention Gerard pleading to the referee to protect his player against our big rough boys.

Whilst on the subject of Gerard isn't it a bit rich that he blames the inherent racism in Scotland for the abuse Morelos gets. I seem to recall considerably more racism at English football matches.

Where we fall down is the vitriol of religious sectarianism of which his team are largely responsible.

According to Michael Stewart, the Morelos racism media story is being fed by Jim Trainer (hun media/propaganda gadgie) to deflect attention away from his first Morelos story about his brakes being tampered. That was exposed as being a load of shite too, but attention was quickly taken away from it with this racism claim story.

It's all propaganda fed to their gullible fans, which they'll lap up, conspiracies, the SFA are against them and they're losing 'the title race' because officials are wanting Celtic to win it (because they're all catholics). Morelos is his own worst enemy for the trouble he gets himself into on field, so this campaign that has suddenly emerged, is to have officials too scared to book the wee cheating fud. He already gets away with all his off the ball kicks at opposition players, that he was being booked for last season.

It's no different from Gerrard doing pre match claims about us being over physical and for the ref to protect his players from us, all planned to influence officials to Sevco's advantage.

Racism is unacceptable, and we have the 'show racism the red card' campaign, but I don't see Gerrard mentioning anything about sectarianism, and that is a far bigger problem in Scotland than racism, we all know why he is happy turning a blind eye to that though don't we.
