Stuart McCall blames Sportscene
Motherwell striker Michael Higden looks like being ‘offered’ a one match suspension for a gesture made at the Motherwell fans after he scored against Dundee United on Saturday.
The incident was debated on Sportscene between Rob McLean and Barry Robson with McCall claiming that the BBC programme is setting the agenda.
“Is there a need for a compliance officer or is it whoever edits Sportscene? Is it trial by Sportscene?” McCall asked in the Daily Record
“Is there a need for a compliance officer or is it whoever edits Sportscene? Is it trial by Sportscene?
“Are you telling me the compliance officer watches all six games in their entirety to look for things?
“If you have an editor who supports Rangers, Celtic or Aberdeen, do you think he’s going to put in incidents such as the Griffiths one (from his team)?
“Will we appeal any ban for Michael? 100 per cent, yes. For Higdon’s incident to be compared with the Griffiths one made me fall off my chair.
“It wasn’t a, ‘Get it up you’ gesture. It was probably directed at me because of what I said at half-time.
“But I can guarantee one million per cent the half-hearted gesture he made wasn’t made at the supporters. I know that for a fact.”
Serial offender Leigh Griffiths is likely to face a third charge from the SFA after the cameras picked up him making a gesture to his own supporters during St Johnstone’s 3-2 win at Hibs on Saturday.
