We all want to win.

And do you try and gain that advantage?

Yeah.

But I bet you, going back to Derek's point, he's played in charity games with ex-professionals who hound referees.

I bet you those same players would hound a team mate if the pass isn't right.

So again, that's just the nature of football.

Is it right?

I'm not saying having a go at a referee is right, but...

I go back to my point of the referees and the good ones that could could speak to you properly the ones that could communicate with you while you're either a player or a manager you'd more respect for them and it's the ones that just ignore you and I'm just taking it for I'm not saying I'm right or wrong I'm taking it for my my experience of being a player and then being a manager and dealing a lot with referees and

Paul every single fan in the crowd when the ball hits someone and goes out no matter if you know you might know it's hit me and you're in the crowd and you turn around and you're claiming for it whoever Derek supports I'm sure when it goes out or if it's a tackle in the box every fan's jumping up what's the difference for me it's just natural I watch the rugby again I'm not a big rugby fan

Connoisseur or watch much of it, I don't really understand it.

I loved it, it was great at the weekend, but you still see the players, they speak more respectfully to the refs, but the refs are better with them, but they still claim for stuff.

Yeah, and you can tell just with the tone there that Stevie's just fed up.

And that's a neutral fan last night watching Aberdeen and Motherwell.

I think it's a great point he makes that we can tune in.

There's a semi-final up for grabs.

And then the game's technically ruined by decisions.

The game that we were all hoping to see because we're losing players and bad decisions.

And it leaves a sour taste in your mouth.

I don't think we're at the point where we give up and maybe Stevie's just feeling that way at the minute, but I can see why he's frustrated.
