Sportsmanship doesn’t win you trophies 

Sportsmanship makes you pals and honestly the last thing I want in this country in regards other clubs is pals

I actually forgot it was a throw in.

So we are claiming they took a throw in and their defender needed 3 touches to give the ball back to us? Aye no bother 

Watch it back. His first touch is terrible. He takes a 2nd to knock it in front of him and the 3rd (in my opinion anyway) would have been to punt it back to us.

I agree, but things in this country get spun to suit a narrative. This likely gets “validated” by international condemnation.

Malik didn’t know, but would have still been portrayed as the bad guy.

 

At the stadium I thought it was wrong what Malik done but then I heard MB explain that he never knew we put it out and then it made sense. Watching it back you see Malik not know and done the right thing stealing the ball after their daft defender took 3 bad touches. That’s was ruthless by Malik and we need more of it.

Im not even a footballer and I am pretty sure I can in 2 touches launch a ball to nowhere 

[.Williamson. 87,398]

Wait there to I give this perfect ball back to the Rangers goalkeeper

Such a heap of steaming shite

True, but even the best footballer in the world is capable of taking a poor first touch.

Kanu did it for Arsenal a long time ago, the outrage was so much they voided the result and replayed the match.

It never happens because it's a really fucked up thing for anyone to do and it's a commonly agreed thing that if you put the ball out the other team gives you it back uncontested.

 

 

This is NOT the same. 
 

When the team who is expected to return the ball to the team who had possession before it was played out, do not return the ball, then it is bad form. 
 

in this case Partick were supposed to return it to us but instead Tillman wins possession fairly. It’s different and completely unique.

100%, even if i ignored how great he was, it still wasn’t his fault.

I also have zero faith he wouldn’t be framed as the villain though.

I was fuming at the time but having calmed down (and with the hindsight of knowing we won) overall is probably the right decision - although wouldn’t have had an issue if we had decided not to.

 

If we had better placed ex players in the media we really should be using it to labour the point why is it only us that are being asked to show good sportsmanship but it is OK for teams to use every dirty trick they can get away with and try and put some pressure on the refs to clamp down on the time wasting and constant niggling fouls (although we probably need to start with the clear and obvious ones like the stamp on Tillman).

Mate, it was ludicrous and I hope we don’t make a habit of such nonsense 

Their penalty was nonsense and all. That should have been 3-0 today, arguably 4-0 because they had a player in the box as Tav hit his penalty.

Sportsmanship my arse

Some of the comments about our manger on the match thread were embarrassing. Was the right thing to do. 

Our match threads are definitely the place to go for embarrassing comments, when viewed with the benefit of hindsight they are horrendous 😂

[stuart1994 4,536]

Need to see it back but at first thought the Thistle player was time wasting in giving it back so it was fair game. Might be wrong though.

I just don’t think the idea that it was going to take him 3 touches to return the ball to us is as far fetched as your making out. 
 

But we’ll never actually know the guys intentions and it doesn’t look like we’ll agree   and it’s such a unique set of circumstances I doubt we’ll see something similar again.

Like when players lay a throwin back to the taker and put it out from 5 yards away. Folk that think that that kind of miscontrol isn't possible haven't been watching enough Scottish football. 

It should be obvious to anyone that watches football that the guy was juggling the ball with inept technique, and that's why he took a few touches, but that his intent was to launch it.

Cunts claiming we are a Club with Class then behaving like cunts without class.. behave, for fuck sakes. Beale reacted with Class.

But they didn't get the chance to return it because Malik nipped in having seen the bad control. Our gaffer hinted at this, that Malik had seen the opportunity to press (having spotted the miscontrol) and did as he was trained to.

[stuart1994 4,536]

Just seen it back, agree with what Neil McCann said, genuinely don’t think Tillman knows what’s going on.

We’re as guilty as anyone for that 😅

for all those saying they where glad we did it would you be saying the same if it was the last few minutes of a cup final against the beggars and it was 1-1?

would you still be on here defending it?

He took a horrendous first touch then it went bad to worse for him
