Talking about face masks, the clown that smashed Danilo's jaw is back in the news again for reckless use of the head.

Heart and Hand

It’s weird, you’re late in a tackle you get booked. You’re late with an aerial challenge, far more dangerous, it’s fine.

CRAIG CASSELLS

Spot on, David. I have never in over 50 years seen a penalty awarded for a headed challenge before Celtic were awarded one last midweek but there is no doubt in my mind the referee was correct with his decision .

Heart and Hand

Same. I think it should be a penalty, what grates is nobody else is getting that penalty. But if Refs applied it consistently I’d have no problem with it.

Heart and Hand

Oh and while I’m ranting 😀 You know that thing Harry Kane does when a defender is running to head the ball and he backs into him when he’s in the air? That’s incredibly dangerous!!! It’s never given!

The Gallant Pioneer

Can Hibs give us another stand due to there poor home crowds 🤷‍♂️💙🇬🇧

Stephen

I know what you mean about Easter Road not being as tough a venue as we would remember it. . I feel the same about Tannadice even though they have been terrible for years!

Leslie White

I’m really surprised how soft a ride Connor Goldson is getting this while. His reactions in through balls, or up and under balls, his reaction time is poor. Recently he’s been making numerous mistakes that thankfully haven’t been picked up.

A wee nod to KC in your intro song David, I did watch the Superbowl but, there is only 1 football ⚽ and nothing beats the Rangers winning silver things💙

Russ

It felt to me growing up the 'dark arts', (cynical fouls, feigning injury, time wasting etc) was less prevalent and a bit more mythical. Now every other phase of play someone's trying to be a shithouse. It's why I'm not against the blue card concept; when people argue that it will make football unwatchable...lads, have you watched Livi or Aberdeen at Ibrox? It's about as fun as finding a recurring verruca. Jamie McGrath's arse was hitting the deck like he was playing musical chairs last week ffs. Bin VAR and bring in Sin Bins please!

Marc Patterson

David, love the update but not the intro song today. I am a suffering 49er

Tamus

Is that Dion DiMucci

On the backnof today's question about faking injuries, last season MLS2 trialed a mandatory 2mins on the sideline for players who go down either without a challenge or for challenges that don't result in a free kick. I'm sure the stats showed that this dropped the number of players faking injury from 6 per game to just over 1. Fifa have approved the rule change for any league that want to use it. I'm sure we'll see it adopted in Scotland in about 30 years.

Marc Patterson

Was a strange game. A classic or not that will be the everlasting question and if it is anyone but Mahomes on the other side the trophy is heading to San Francisco

Heart and Hand

Agree totally. He’s already an all-timer but by end of his career we’ll be talking about him as the GOAT. That said, I thought given the pressure on Purdy he acquitted himself brilliantly. I hope he’s back there soon because he seems like a very decent chap.

Marc Patterson

The freedom Purdy allows San Francisco in salary cap means they should have a shot at getting straight back before he has to get as they say "paid". Agree Mahomes is on the way to GOAT status. Especially in this salary cap era. His biggest thing will be how long Reid wants to coach as when Reid goes Spagnuolo goes and that'll be massive upheaval in KC

Heart and Hand

Definitely, and it’ll be interesting to see if Kelce is, ahem, distracted next year 😀 I think it’s a very likeable Niners side, every neutral I know wanted them to win.

Marc Patterson

Yeah. I think Kelce is now the pantomime villain. But would be good if he would take his eye off the ball

Latimer

That's two players this guy has put in hospital and as far as I know not even a yellow. Big Sterling is missing two games for standing on someone's toes.

David Campbell

I've made a rookie mistake forgetting we played Wednesday I've booked to go for dinner. I wonder will I get away with a quick change of venue and vastly overpriced hotdog instead. A little bit of me died early when I realised. 🤣

The song title from today's update got me thinking about an old indie song from the late 80's simply called 'Kansas'. I couldn't remember the band's name but I knew that I had seen it on Snub TV in the late 80's. Bit of Googling and the band's name is 'The Wolfgang Press'. However, now I'm down a Snub TV rabbit hole (covers UK indie/alternative scene from 1989-1991).
