I think the refereeing against Ryan Jack needs investigated. The problem the SPFL appeals panel will have with the latest when it surely will happen is having to deal with the reality of a third over rule. It would make a mockery of refereeing and raise red flags and they'd want to avoid that. I've never seen a ref get a red card out of his pocket quicker than I did yesterday. He couldn't wait when even a yellow would have been harsh.

He has a big target on his back now, read an interesting piece that said he only had 3 reds in his career to date before signing for us and now has 4 in 4 months! The Hibs and Kilmarnock ones were rightly overturned but he does seem to get drawn into handbags very easily and my worry is that it will cost us points in the future and also I would worry about him in Euro competition.

My feeling on the tackle yesterday is that he takes the ball first then the man with the follow through, most decent refs would not have even carded Jack but Collum is a shocking ref as was played out at Fir Park a few days earlier! Remember Simunovic took ball then man when he completely wiped out Kenny Miller in the disastrous old firm at ibrox last season? We had to take that on the chin and surely this will get overturned on appeal regardless of how it makes the refereeing standard look!

Yes Fod 1 against us, 1 against Celtic and 1 against St. Johnstone until he signed for us.

Good post wee bear. You don't even have to consider the dynamics of momentum. Biology and the laws of physics explains the follow through of kicking a ball. It wasn't close to be being about a 50-50 tackle, it's about a guy kicking the ball and movement and position of his foot as it naturally follows through.

Have watched it several times, jack clearly plays the ball even before the Aberdeen player puts his foot in to stop him. I might be old but in my day that was a normal tackle. Watching it live at full speed my initial thought was that it was a free kick to us! It was his "reputation" that made the ref send him off

Personally I’d be more annoyed and concerned if he wasn’t going in 100% to tackles
