My thoughts exactly

Well, I accept I am totally biased. But for me he looks like he tries to keep his arms close into his chest to avoid making himself bigger. Its not a natural position, but he certainly doesnt spread himself or appear to deliberately handle the ball. I think thats why its important to know the reason given for the red card and the wording of the current IFAB guidance. Context is everything in these decisions.

If we beat them at Hampden I think I'll manage more than a semi !

Just watched the Rangers highlights to see what the fuss is about and......that Hibs penalty is nothing like the one in our game. The Souttar one should be a penalty but I don't think it should even be a yellow card. Casey's was a flat up save! 🤣

Don't be bringing actual data and stats into it!

The only difference between the two incidents was the distance from the goal, and that difference was minimal. Both players threw their body at the ball to defend the goal. Casey deliberately blocked the ball on the line with his arm. Souttar deliberately.......even McCann commented that he moved his arm to the ball......blocked the ball three yards out with his arm. Both were deliberate and intended to deny a goal. On that basis, why not both red cards? Consistency does not exist in Scottish football.

Thanks for sharing. I made a YouTube channel with a ton of old videos mostly highlights of different game. I have lots more to get converted but it takes forever. https://www.youtube.com/@motherwellnet/videos
