Ross McCrorie

[JojoJuan]

I am not a big McRorie fan, but I don't think he is in the wrong there at all. I would have been furious to be sent off for that myself. 

If I had intended it to be an elbow I would be ashamed at the attempt

[Dal Riata Don]

So as he's a raving hun and attended the hearing with one trouser leg rolled up etc. etc. will he no get off all the quicker?

[Ten Caat]

Appeal unsuccessful

Now serving immediate 2 match ban

[Scotty_Toronto]

The expected joke outcome.

[subliminal]

McRorie raised his arm into the oncoming challenge. If you’re running down the street and someone runs into you and you raise an elbow in to their face they would be well within their rights to phone the police. If so you’re getting done for assault. Therefore red card on a football field. It’s not a contact sport anymore remember.

Edit - forgot to type before “cancel his contract and get rid of asap”.

[Ohjimmyjimmy]

Predictable.

Overruling VAR twice in the space of a week would raise too many questions.

The appeal was never going to be successful.

Was hoping they'd add on a game for the frivolous appeal.

[The Gee Man]

Typical 

[Reed or deed]

Some of you folk arguing are at it.

Whether it was deliberate or not is immaterial, same as jumping for a header. You can’t lead with your elbows.

Mcrorie 100% thought he was the big man with the momentum and put his elbow up to catch the boy.

Thick hun cunt. Should be sold.

Or sent to the mines.

[WesthillWanderersFC]

Was never going to be successful.

The “endangering an opponent” would be covered by an elbow to the face, regardless of it being accidental or forced by Dunne’s body shape deliberately obstructing McCrorie.

There were plenty of other reasons that the fat cunt shouldn’t referee at this level though.

But that's not what happened, was it?

What if you are doing your job (McCrorie) and somebody (Dunne) chooses to illegally prevent you from doing it?

Should they get away with it?

Had the ref at the time given a free kick to Aberdeen, I doubt anything would have been made of it.

50 games would have been more appropriate 

[Toondon]

Fuk Celtic & Rangers wanting out of Scottish football

about bloody time the rest of the teams got a breakaway league sorted without the bigot brothers and the corruption that’s rotten to the core in Scottish football

even the lads down in Newcastle gan on about how corrupt Scottish football is

Agreed, should have been arrested

But had to be made. Otherwise the club would have been agreeing it was a correct red card - which it was not.

Exactly - the St Mirren player deliberately block his run. As a result McCrorie had to adjust his run.

McCrorie took the ball from 30 yards in front of his own goal to 25 yards in front of the St. Mirren goal (at speed).

Dunne (seeing McCrorie's charging run) had no intention of trying to play the ball, and it was he who committed the first foul on the play.

Should have been a free kick to the Dons (and tough sh*t if you get a knock while putting in a full outstretched arm led body block on your opponent as it was your choice to play the man).

Totally agree with your assessment of the incident.

That might put teams off signing him in the summer. However many games are left this season, that amount please.

[Guest milne_afc]

I do believe quite a few apologies are due. Keep them public, lads. Any unsolicited private messaging will be reported at the next mods meeting.

[Ke1t]

He was fouled, he raised an arm as a natural (almost certainly involuntary) defensive action, it should have been a free kick to us. 

If I throw something at your face you don't keep your arms by your sides and let it boop you on the snoot. 

You raise your arms. 

[Parklife]

Blatant red card and anyone arguing is either an idiot or at it. 

We'll be better without the cunt too.

Not really given he very clearly deliberately elbowed a guy in the face and all the qualified people in the debate think it's a red card offence. 

[Ke1t]

He very clearly did nothing deliberately, and his reaction was a natural response to a threat rather than an attempt to elbow anyone. 

I would also question the credentials of any 'qualified' people in the Scottish game to give a fair judgement call to an Aberdeen player.

Extended his elbow/forearm in to Dunne's face. It's clear as day. You see the hinge in his elbow as he straightens his arm.

It's clear as day that he was running, someone threw an arm at his throat, and he raised his arm in a defensive posture. 

And let's say that refs in this country are not given to siding with Aberdeen when it comes to 50/50 decisions. 

[alscotoz]

Not surprised. It was a red caused by stupidity.

[Ten Caat]

I was astonished the club actually chose to contest it. At first I couldn't tell if it was deliberate or not but when you watch it in slow motion you can see exactly what he's up to. Stupid cunt

[NEM]

Putting my feelings for the useless hun cunt aside….

I can’t believe folk are arguing about it, he clearly moved his arm to intentionally elbow Dunne in the coupon. In slow motion it’s blatant as fuck
