ALLY MCCOIST

Has come out and said Naismith elbowing a player on the face was accidental and out of character but the fact is, it was blatant and could have caused a serious injury.

So why can't McCoist just accept that Naismith has become a dirty player and accept whatever punishment comes his way? In fact, why not take it a stage further and publicly punish his own player?

And while he is at it, tell him to stop diving and shouting at refs for no reason! He is fast becoming the most despised player in Scotland which says a lot when Kyle Lafferty still plays here!

Still trying to get my head around the beaks moving swiftly on issues. Hopefully a sign of things to come.

Nah, I was just referring to the disciplinary procedures generally, not thinking about our extra exposure as such. In the past players would still play, say, the next game or two before any decision.

Works well both ways. Innocent, play on. Guilty, yer oot.

Not talking about the t.v. aspect per se, more the actual speed of the process once an infringement is recognized.

Hooper's wasn't deemed an infringement. Naismith's was. Swings and roundabouts and all that. I'm sure we'll both get our fair share. After what happened last season with Boogy and Diouf, I don't think anyone's in a position to say there's an agenda.

Just yet......

Keep his elbows to himself? Makes it sound like it was an accidental elbow.
--------------
Even the Dunfermline boy he hit agreed it was probably accidental and that they were both at it.

But no I suppose a Celtic fan has spoken so they must all be lying.
