Livingston boss Mark Burchill has added further fuel to the Oduwa fire by failing to condemn any of his players.
As has been well publicised and documented, Livingston’s display at Ibrox v Rangers in the Petrofac Cup quarter final last night resembled UFC more than SPFL, with some utterly unacceptable challenges being meted out on Rangers’ flair players, with Barrie McKay and especially Nathan Oduwa explicitly targeted.
But former Celtic player Burchill has rejected any notion his players were out of line, and has strongly implied his approval at their conduct.
After the match, questioned on his side’s robust approach at Ibrox, the former Parkhead striker said:
“It’s a cup tie, two teams are trying to win and the referee is in charge – he’s the boss. Were any of my players sent off? I’m happy with that, then.”
In short, as long as his players get away with it, he is more than consenting to outright thuggery.
This kind of mentality sums up one of the many ills of the Scottish game and further compounds the sadness of such an attitude.
What goes around comes around ! Hope his team play a non league/lower outfit in the Scottish Cup, get pumped out and get the utter shit kicked out of them with no protection from the ref. Hopefully Mr Dallas will also referee the game and we can then see if there's a change in this tossers attitude when his team is on the receiving end.
What do you expect from a Catholic arse no brains.WATP LOL.
I think you can expect a call from police Scotland this is a hate crime you have commited
Hope Livingston go down and that prick gets sacked
So so sad for scottish football to see a talent like him getting battered
I run an amature team and thought i was watching a game from ur league with all that thuggery
