    When I watch us I know what you mean, seems like a player needs to be fouled 3 or 4 times for a free kick to be given and that's not right, and I've seen tierney get some disgraceful tackles put in on him. I'd obviously rather our players make a meal of challenges rather than actually getting injured but the way tierney was going down holding his face against Partick Thistle when nothing really happened wasn't nice to see.

    It must be coming from above. Noticed it with KT more and more and Lustig as well as even Broony milking challenges!.

    There's a time and a place to milk it.

    Personally think we don't do enough of it on the continent anyway. I know it's not the 'done' thing in the UK but we have been done with it so many times over the years. Nothing wrong with being a bit more *-ish and streetwise.

    If I'm being honest I can't say I've noticed it with Tierney! Will have a look from.now on.

    Do people not think it's more to do with players struggling for a pass ? Getting stuck with the ball for too long, not knowing where to go, feeling a bit of contact and going down to win a free kick.

    Some of the reactions from grown men in modern football are embarrassing. I don't like to see it from our players.

    If there is a suggestion that KT is somehow cheating or feigning injury I would have to laugh at that.

    If his ever growing experience as a footballer is now telling him to go down when being nicked to stop opponents attacking then there's a massive difference.

    I know which one it is personally.

    I know why he's doing it but I'd rather he just highlighted when actually hit rather than milking the most minimal of contact's which I've seen lately..

    This is where Brendan should come in when official's don't do their job's....which is becoming a weekly occurrence..

    He gets some disgusting treatment which needs addressed no question, but leave the other antics when barely touched to other's..

    I can't be the only one that's noticed it recently surely..

    I’ve noticed it with him a couple of times. The other day he got a nudge in the back and was down on the ground holding the back his head. A replay showed that there was literally zero contact from the player on KT’s head.

    Yep the head one and the other is when he boots the ball away he jumps/hurdles a challenge that sometimes hasn't even come..

    As I say, I know he's doing it because he doesn't get fair protection but if he continues to go down under one's with barely any or no contact, the media and other's will jump on him being some kinda diver, which we all know isn't and hasn't been his game at all before now..

    Over milking challenges is part and parcel of modern day football. A sad but very true fact. I'm more annoyed at how we seem to be averse to doing it in European games where would yield much better game situations for us.

    He was excellent again tonight..

    Think we’ve started to take for granted the consistent high level performances he puts in..

    Ran them ragged the night..
