Default Hugh Dallas sends off player for u know what

Was watching the replay of last weekend's Rangers-Hibs game on Fox Sports World. A Hibs player dove to head a ball, which hit his hand before going into the huns' net. Dallas produced the player's second yellow card and sent him off. I nearly put my foot through the television. 4 replays later it was still impossible to decide intent, or the "hand to ball" argument Hughie used after the World Cup, but he seemed to be able to make his mind up immediately. Prick.

It seemed a pretty clear hand ball to me.

That non call at the WC was bogus.

When Rangers beat Celtic 3-0 at Celtic Park to win the Scottish premier league title in 1999, match referee Hugh Dallas was bloodied by coins thrown at him from the home end.

I suspect that one of those coins penetrated through his thick skull and is still embedded in there somewhere. Would explain a lot.

yea. Even FOURFOURTWO gave him a thumbs down for his WC call. In their World Cup Summary issue they roasted him for missing it, then claiming he saw it.

so was the one against Mexico (I'm a US fan)

You win some, you lose some. Maybe had Arena played Clint from the start and put Josh Wolff in, taken Frankie out of the attack, left an injured Earnie Stewart and ineffective Cobi jones on the bench, the non call is a non issue

Personally, I'd have to say that the US was the only one who deserves a call. There was no intent on the German handball, but there definitly was on the US punchout.
