Yesterdays Game

[kplfishtank 4,668]

whilst being at the match theres a few things i seen but havent had the benefit of television monitors after

1 was it a dive , ive read houston and he said blatant penalty but none of the players on the park seem to protest too much

2 why does the ref give the benefit to attacking team on one occasion but refuses it on another? we tried to take a quick free kick to release a player in on goal...brings it back for a foul to us

they get a shot away after a foul but he goes back and gives a free kick

3 teams would be fucked if it wasnt for our support, looking round that ground yesterday and it was clear for all to see that rangers and celtic keep these teams afloat.

4 there is no 4 but i thought 3 points wasnt enough for an OP

[Papa Sasac 164]

The Utd assistant said Rankin (?) went down too easily, and was never a penalty. Seen them given though.

1. Could very easily have been given. The ball took the slightest of slight touches off Goian's foot which could only have been visible from the replay, without a doubt. I was surprised it wasn't a pen and feel we got let off the hook a bit. Seen them given.

2. It was Calum Murray in charge, no need to go any further

3. Yep, look as though a full pitch side stand and behind the goal was Rangers fans?

4. Here we go, 4 in a row

Swanson.

I'm sick of seeing these players dragging their foot as a challenge comes in, so that they make contact with the defender.

Diving bastard, and Goian got a touch on the ball.

[supermac 115]

I was behind the goals everyone could see Dorin touch the ball.

The ref made an arse of that McGregor let him know.

Agreed

Same here

Yes that's correct , Paul Hegarty said it wasn't a penalty.

[Gaz52 11,837]

Swanson is a diving prick, not for the penalty but for the one that got Davis booked

[pennyarcade 42]

Any one caught diving cheating should get a 5 match ban, that should stop the cheats.

1. According to TV replays there was contact. Penalty.

2. The Ref had to book the Dundee Utd player for the foul which we tried to take quickly. I don't think the one he gave them earned our player a booking and therefore, he could allow the game to flow. (I think!).

3. As I keep saying, Rangers FC owe nothing to Scottish Football. If anything, they owe us. Big time. And this is why we should boycott any club who do us any serious harm or try to discredit us. It would only need to happen 1 or 2 times and they'd sit up and take notice.

4. No sure aboot this wan.

Contact doesn't necessarily mean it's a foul.

[thebooler 4,509]

Contact doesn't necessarily mean it's a foul.

I know. But it usually does when it's inside the box. It was a difficult one, especially for the Officials who don't have the benefit of TV replays, and have to make a decision right away.

[Shearer 124]

It was never a penalty because he kicked the ball to the left away from goal and then ran into the Rangers player looking for a fowl. It was a good Call by the referee.

Fair play to the ref for getting it right. Swanson dived.

Goian touched the ball clearly - no Pen

[kplfishtank 4,668]

Boolers a wee bit auld and needs specks

[SirWalterSmithLegend 206]

1) The player, Swanson, was laughing with embarrassment at being caught trying to cheat, there was no request for a pen because it wasnt one.

2) Because it would have benefited us.

3) Correct

4) I agree.

[thebooler 4,509]

Awright. It wisnae a penalty.

[Der Hammer 160]

I hate when the pundits say it should be a penalty as they can see "contact".It's a fucking contact sport.

There is a massive difference between "contact" and a foul but most pundits in this country don't know the difference between their arse and elbow.

[Jocky Broon 207]

Was never a penalty.I was sitting in line with it and the expression on the Referees face said it all.He wasnt taken in and Swanson made an arse of himself looking for it.We did carry a good support yesterday but I was puzzled by what set off both sets of fans at the Home end with about 15-20 minutes to go.Any idea? And what about the Polis at half time looking for shite at the Rangers end? Seems some fan with a banner got ejected/arrested before he passed the banner into the crowd and there was a bit of pass the parcel wi the Polis.

[delamonty 992]

1) Never a penalty. Swanson 'dived' before any contact with Dorin. DU Assistant said never a penalty as well.

2) Surely the ref can book the player at the next opportunity. Nothing says he has to book him right away.

3) yup. And pretty sure we take more supporters away than the filth. We have higher attendances at away fixtures than them.

Once the referee has decided to issue a card, play must not be restarted until the sanction has been administered.

I like my rules better.

But we see cards given retrospectively -- such as when advantage is played......

Retrospective cards are different. When the advantage rule is applied, the card must be issued at the next stoppage in play.

With the situation in the Rangers game, play was already stopped, so the referee had to issue the card before the free kick could be taken.

I like the real rule..........................cos it makes ma reply tae FishyTank right.

I hate to say it but Naismith does this with every challenge....but it is still a penalty. The pen we got against ICT when Tokely came in from behind Naisy... he played the ball but Naisy left his leg back in order to be caught = Penalty! If a player is late with a challenge and can make contact with the player .... then why pull your leg out the way. The only reason why it wasn't a pen yesterday is cause Goian touched the ball first. Shouldnt have been a yellow in my opinion.

Need to be careful withthis next weekend cause the taigs throw themselves to the ground at every opportunity whether and don't even try and pretend by leaving a foot in! Altho in saying that ... they cannae score from the spot anyway!
