Jim Goodwin gave the cosy media coverage of Scottish football a massive shake today.

Across Social Media supporters are free to discuss and debate the issues without being compromised, traditional media detests that freedom and independence as they trot out the usual lines of discussion, well within their comfort one.

Over the last few days Pie and Bovril have been showing various statistics relating to the matches played so far with the Premiership reaching the halfway stage.

That the team at the top of the table has scored the most penalties and conceded the least is no great surprise, just behind that stat the detail is more interesting.

Other than bottom of the table Ross County the teams that have conceded the most penalties are Celtic, Hibs and Aberdeen who are in the three positions behind Steven Gerrard’s league leaders.

A lot is being made of the fact that St Mirren were correctly awarded a penalty in their recent Betfred Cup win over the Ibrox side. What that emphasises is that in 50% of Betfred Cup ties penalties have been awarded against the Ibrox side.

When your three closest rivals have lost five penalties in SPFL matches this season to have conceded none in 20 really is incredible. But not the sort of stat to be welcomed inside the Scottish media bubble.
