Despite being 4-1 up and cruising, Blair Sturrock is still greeting by boos from some in the South Upper when coming on as a late substitute.

I really do despair.
It was indeed very disappointing. There were people around me moaning and making sarcastic remarks despite us being 4-1 up. Sturrock was clearly brought on for a cameo in order to allow Dickinson the chance to receive the standing ovation from the fans he deserved for his performance, which was top-notch.
 
Surely a bias would be playing your son from the start? As opposed to playing him for the first time in weeks for 5 minutes
Bias is giving your son the chance to play league football. Without his father's intervention Blair would never have been signed by a league club. When he hasn't been able to rely on his dad he has only managed to play non league football. Before his dad got this job he was signed to play for Truro last season. To me this is bias.
For a lot of people like me they see Blair as a non league player who isn't up to it. I appreciate there are others that see in him what his dad sees, and at the end of the day everyone should be allowed their view on whether PS shows bias or not.

Can't really disagree with that, however sturrock is not biased in the sense he is getting his son in ahead of other more talented players, he played Saturday as he has more ability to slow the game down than Mohsni. If when Corr comes back Sturrock is still on the bench ahead of him then I'd agree that something is wrong.
