Not sure about that. If they were faultless in the matter then they have every right to 'demand' a replay. I'm sure if we had similarly missed out we too would be feeling aggrieved.  It will be interesting to see the response from the SFA.

Have to admit I sort of want them to get their replay, and of course get pumped out a second time.

Let’s be honest, if there’s one thing that rancid mob love more than anything, it’s to be the victims of some perceived miscarriage of justice (see their relegation in 2020).

This carry on will only go onto reinforce the sentiment amongst that mob that someone's out to get them, when the reality is that this is down to incompetence rather than an anti-Partick agenda.

Giving them a scarcely deserved replay would cut out the victim complex until the next mild inconvenience, but after watching Motherwell’s performance yesterday, I’m not sure I’d trust them to see them off a second time.

Imagine thinking Morton's subs list would ever roll over onto page 2...

It's funny because it's them. Apart from that it's just another example of Scottish Football finding unneccessary ways to look tin-pot.

Surely the system involves clicking a link and going into the system, not taking a screenshot of it?

Wi-fi maybe not reaching from the stand to the touchline

Once teamlines are in, the system sends a pdf to the refs and each team so no WiFi needed later to view it.

Why the 4th official took a screenshot of page 1 of the pdf rather than just having the pdf is anyone's guess.

Why Partick just bent over and made an alternative sub rather than checking themselves or demanding the officials check is also bewildering.

I was being facetious with the wi-fi bit. In any case, thanks for the breakdown of the system. Seems like the officials managed to f^€k up something incredibly simple.

It's cool, i know you were.

Yeah, the 4th official took a screenshot of page 1 when both clubs had their 9th sub listed on page 2.

Even stranger, he noticed Motherwell had a 9th and wrote it down manually in his notebook but missed the Partick 9th sub even though it was written on the same line in the pdf. Motherwell brought on said 9th sub whilst Partick were told theirs wasn't on the teamsheet.

So he chose to have a screenshot of most of the teamlines and 1 name written separately in his notes and missing 1, rather than just having the pdf. Madness.

Partick can still shut up though.

[Cet Homme Charmant]

It would have been pant-wetting hilarious if he had got on and scored to win the game, only for the pencil-necked desk-jokeys to award the tie to Motherwell for them fielding an ineligible player

[TONofmemories]

An error Morton would have made in years gone by under the likes of Gillian Donaldson. Comedy stuff

[SassenachTon]

Has anyone thought that a slightly smaller font would get everyone on page 1? Or is that too simple?

I'm just being curious, anyone heard what happened to the cup thrower?

If we’re doing it in chronological order, it’ll probably be second/third in the queue behind the guy “allegedly” calling Todorov a refugee, alongside the steward “allegedly “saying Reynolds is paid with fruit and before the kid “allegedly” being attacked outside Firhill at the weekend.

I wouldn’t hold your breath.

It wasn't Harry Kane, he's never held a cup before.

2 year ban from Cappielow I heard but unsure how true that is.
