I would read that as impacting the actual penalty kick, which it didn’t. An answer from IFAB is: The penalty kick is retaken only if the encroachment clearly impacted on the kicker or the ball rebounds into play and the encroaching player then plays the ball or challenges an opponent for the ball and prevents the opponents from scoring, attempting to score or creating a goal-scoring opportunity. Gogic clearly impacted Maswanhise collecting the rebound so it’s the second part that is relevant.

He clearly goes towards the ball and impacts Maswanhise collecting the rebound. It should have been a retake.

Was a foul at St Mirren’s second goal and was never a free kick at their third. Clancy is an absolute clown.

Glad we told Barmack to ram it.

Not sure what rules you’re looking at but you’re wrong.

Ralston’s heel was on the line so it wasn’t a foul throw. There were plenty of issues with the penalty decision but that wasn’t one of them.

So were you thinking of getting a season ticket or did you actually get one?

Spencer had already been booked so should have been sent off for the dive and deliberate handball.

They’ll just say they didn’t have the angle that confirmed it the same as they did with the Fadinger one at Ibrox.

Said was being penalised almost every time he made a tackle. The one he was booked for was a joke as well. Devlin literally fell onto the ball with minimal or no contact. When the same thing happened to Fadinger the free kick went to Hearts. You just need to watch the Falkirk game today to see how dodgy/controversial decisions change games.

Of course it’s not all referees but when you have game changing decisions at Ibrox, Celtic Park, 2 games against Falkirk and one today against Hearts together with all of the other soft free kicks etc that record could look a lot different.

You can complain about referees because there have been potential game changing decisions that have gone against us against Falkirk twice, Hearts and Celtic.

Getting to the point that there’s no point turning up for games. The opposition are getting everything from referees. The last 2 free kicks given against Said were an absolute joke as well.

I know there have been retrospective bans given out previously for diving to win penalties and violent conduct but has there ever been one handed out for feigning injury? I genuinely can’t think of any and I’ve seen plenty of incidents where players go down holding their head/face when there’s been zero contact there.

There are a lot of ifs and buts before it gets anywhere close to being 50/50 IMO.
