If 10 mins is not sufficient then he has no choice but to give them a penalty, we don't want a wee diddy team winning anything now do we.
That's what all the folk who support the wee teams say. I think there's only one referee in Scotland who does that and that's the 'good' Reverend Mike McCurry. He only seems to do that for the one team though; you should see his refereeing statistics vs Celtic, they are shocking - he's awarded more yellows, reds and penalties against Celtic than all the other teams in the SPL combined.

Can ye tell am a Celtic fan much?
