We played some fantastic football yesterday. Really fantastic yet I'm reading about us winning not because we were good but because Motherwell are shite, we were lucky to get away with dodgy refereeing decisions, we'll lose the next game, this player was murder and that player isn't good enough, Warnock bashing despite him not even being here anymore. We've just won away from home. We played an entertaining brand of football. We had over a thousand fans there. We have three relatively easy games before the split and things are looking good for the first time in ages. Can't you just be positive and enjoy it for a day at least? Unbelievable 🤣 Brilliant season then. 🤔 Link to comment

He had no idea where the ball was and was mid jump, and importantly the ball still fell to a dundee player who hit the post. Aberdeen gained no advantage, Dundee still had their chance to score. It shouldn't be a penalty. I also don't really think the Motherwell one had much in it either though. Guy is mid jump, it looks accidental too. The only difference for me is that they did gain an advantage from it. I would not have been surprised to see the goal stand, nor had much argument. Went our way for a change. Shinnie one isn't a hand ball under any metric, not even a point of discussion. I thought the complete opposite. The ball definitely hit his arm. Link to comment

Have a chocolate biscuit and a cup of tea. Maybe that'll cheer you up as your football team winning a game clearly doesn't do it for you. Link to comment

I, like thousands of fans am not impressed. And you're correct. 1 fucking win in 11 games doesn't do it for me! Link to comment

WesthillWanderersFC Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 1 hour ago, a don in oz said: Well. That is fucking mental. It's well clear how the game is in such big trouble when the folks in charge are coming up with such insane rules. Utterly fucking insane. So an accidental handball by the attacking team if a goal comes after it is fine. Accidental handball by the defending team is a penalty. Whichever clueless fuckers came up with those belters needs to be burned at the stake. The interpretation of handball needs simplified asap. Some of the penalties given this season have been ridiculous. We’ve seen the Shinnie incident yesterday result in penalties. It shouldn’t be a penalty, but this season I wouldn’t have been surprised if it had been given. Easier said than done, but it has to be made less subjective if that’s possible & clearer, so fans, players all know roughly where we stand. 1 Link to comment

I don’t know what Collum / Maclean discounted it for (the imminent final whistle confuses it) but it bounces off McKenzie onto Shinnies arm precisely because the Motherwell player grabbed Mackenzie’s arm and pulled him off balance. yoy can’t pick and choose the fouls you want to see on VAR when they’re within a millisecond of each other. I’d have been pyoor dead ragin had that been given. Link to comment
DD1903 Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 I still don't think the penalty given to st mirren was a penalty, nor do I think that the one Dundee got was either. So, I'll take that decision yesterday all day long. I'm pretty sure McKenzie was pulled prior to the ball hitting shinnie, so no pen there. Link to comment

strachanmcgheegoal Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 The Dundee one was (or should have been) for a push. The Smurren one was for incompetence. Link to comment

Matt Armstrong's Dog Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 14 hours ago, perthshirered said: But he normally replaces the wand for a club, usually a pitching wedge as most things he tries results in the ball going miles into the air at a weird trajectory and, inevitably, misses it's target by a long way. Now and again his passes reach their intend targets and result in goals. His left peg is not just for standing on. Link to comment

Donscanada Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 I think the reason why var has impacted so many games is the undisplinced nature of our defenders each of our back four has led to penaltys plus many close calls not given .. to even count. After seeing pollack and scales.. these guys make considine look good. Link to comment

Even if jumping for the ball your arm goes up so its natural for that? That is the only way that goal could have been chopped off under that idiotic rule? What a state to get in aboot fitba.

I wonder which teams that particular rule is going to favour. 2 Link to comment
