Craig Thomson is a w#####!! I was surprised to see this tosser still refereeing this type of match!! Having refed matches at a different level in years gone by, a red card couldn't come out of my top pocket quick enough to send Ball on his way with quite a few harsh words "ringing" in his ears!! That was a deliberate assault, pure n simple, on an innocent, young player - disgraceful!!

One huge compensating "bonus" for the loss of Ryan Christie is that it looks likely that Sparky will return to 1st team duties and be gradually trained up to be match fit for the Scottish Cup final. So I suspect the "hammer of Hertz" will be kept on the subs' bench to damage them if required at some stage of the Scot Cup final.
