No, if an opponent did that it would be a foul. The match is still ongoing when the goalkeeper has the ball in his hands which is why if there is an injury, for example, the goalkeeper needs to put the ball out of play to stop the game.

The ball is still in play when the keeper is holding it.

At the time I thought VAR might bring it to the referees attention. Was an unbelievably daft thing to do.

Yes, Theo Blair. Bair Spittal to score the next.

So constantly going up and down the line and making a goal saving challenge didn’t impact the game? It’s fair enough if you don’t like him but at least be factual about his performance.

I think Furlong is out of contract at Brighton so there could be a chance of getting him on a permanent basis if they don’t offer him anything.

Hearts binned Snodgrass when Naismith came in as interim manager.

If you look at how wide the grass cutting line is at the bottom compared to the top it puts the offside line into perspective. The further away points look closer together. Possibly clutching at straws but it would be highly unusual to get the benefit of any doubt against them, lol.

That’s never a second yellow for Slattery. Wasn’t even a foul.

Should have been a penalty if that hadn’t gone in. Doubt we’d have got it though.

All the decent defending of the first half undone within about a minute of the second.

Stupid foul from Slattery and horrendous positioning from Kelly.

That could well be the sticking point. Popular opinion seems to be that he should be offered it until the end of the season but he seems like a confident guy so he might think he deserves longer. With his results so far he’s in a decent bargaining position.

If Kettlewell is the best candidate I fear we’re in real trouble. Remember Hammell picked up the pieces left by Alexander and won 3 of his first 4 games while giving interviews where he said all the right things? All fell apart pretty quickly and I’d be concerned Kettlewell would go the same way.

The more names I see getting banded about the more concern I have that the board are going to mess this up again.

If we wanted McCall I doubt Thistle would have sacked him and missed out on potential compensation. That’s what I hope anyway.

Relegated in 2 of his last 3 jobs. No thanks.

Somebody tell Lamie that steward’s not playing.

Who were the alternatives? As far as I remember Moult was signed on the cusp of the window closing and it was touch and go as to whether or not it was happening.

What, or who were the alternatives?

Definitely worth the gamble as I imagine it was probably Louis or nothing at the stage when he was signed. Very low risk gamble as far as I can see.

Shields is a shitebag, that’s 2 challenges with McGregor he’s pulled out of.

Seems like reaching the crossbar not part of Kelly’s game either.

Yes, there was one where Spittal aimed for a guy in row Z. That one worked.

Collecting a cross on the six yard line should be part of any goalkeepers game.
