milo Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 Just watched the highlights. Stonewall penalty for the challenge on Pearo. Absolutely sickening. Disgraceful decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well 4 Europe Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 Having seen everything again I have much the same feelings. -Should have had a pen -Ball didn't look like it crossed the line however it was handled badly by Thompson -Pearson and Erwin were at the heart of everything we created and we looked far more of a threat going forward with those two in the team -With the chances we had we should have left with a point at the very least. Much more positive today, still a lot of work to be done but signs that all is not lost. Big week coming up now both on and off the park.

mcguru Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 FWIW Barra interviewed after game and said ref explained to him linesman shouted "play", Thompson thought he said "goal" so signalled for it. Linesman must at that point have told him his advice was lost in translation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pepper Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 From the highlights Looked a stonewall pen on Erwin, but I think his extra step before he went down made Thompson not give it. Pearson's looked a bit softer but seen them given. Goal didn't look over the line. Have a look at our defending from the corner in particular the angle from behind the goal. At least three players not paying attention in fact Reid is looking at the ref when the ball us played in ffs! We actually looked like we had a bit of fight about us though, thank God!

smiddy Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 were we really not too bad or were the heighlights just showing our good bits ??? pearson looked hungry and the wee bits of moore looked good so how did we actually play ,( answers from someone at the game please ) ta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobey_Dosser Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 Pleased to see that Moore involved in the last 2 games. Wonder if there is a possibility of him and Erwin lining up either side of Sutton. Two really good prospects that are ready to standout in this league.

The alternative is playing the haddies that have been crap all season. It's almost the end of January - those players aren't suddenly going to flick a switch and then it on.

postiejim Posted January 25, 2015 Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 Just watched the highlights. Stonewall penalty for the challenge on Pearo. Absolutely sickening. Disgraceful decision.

faddythedaddy Posted January 25, 2015 Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 Just watched the highlights. I'm very much a believer that it doesn't need to be either a penalty or a booking for diving in the box. However, surely if that's not a penalty its a perceived dive? Pearson looks dangerous, getting into good positions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmcalpin Posted January 25, 2015 Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 Just watched the TV highlights. Challenge on Pearo was a stonewaller but how often do we get penalties at Tannadice? Good to see Pearo still has a good engine on him. That might just give our sluggish midfield the kick up the jacksy that its needed for a long time.

Pepper Posted January 25, 2015 Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 I'm not sure why the MFC highlights don't show the Erwin penalty incident, as that IMO seemed to be the stronger of the two. Youu get a better view of our poor defending at the corner too. Proxy link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chummy Posted January 25, 2015 Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 At last a bit of fight yday. can anyone enlighten me on the drop ball rules....Thompson gives, then disallows the "goal"... awards a drop ball in the 6 yard box, pearson goes to contest it, is waved away, ref drops the ball and their keeper picks it up and sends it downfield to set them up in attack.

Jacol Posted January 25, 2015 Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 can anyone enlighten me on the drop ball rules....Thompson gives, then disallows the "goal"... awards a drop ball in the 6 yard box, pearson goes to contest it, is waved away, ref drops the ball and their keeper picks it up and sends it downfield to set them up in attack. After Willie Collums recent displays I thought that level of ineptitude couldn't be surpassed however Thompson ably assisted by the linesmen managed that. He failed to award a stonewall penalty constantly let heavy tackles go unpunished yet stopped the flow of the game with silly little awards. But you could nearly accept that he was just a shocking ref but until now I have never witnessed a referee basically make up rules over his handling of the non goal award, there's been little reference to it in the media but I would expect Sportscene tonight to highlight it. Thompson needs to be taken to task by the SFA over this and should be removed from officiating at all further games. I understand interpretation of laws can be tricky at times but referees can not start making them up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
numpty Posted January 25, 2015 Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 there's been little reference to it in the media but I would expect Sportscene tonight to highlight it. If the Sportscene highlights are still the same as the ones they post on YouTube, it won't even get a mention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haggischomper Posted January 25, 2015 Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 Then it's up to bara to highlight in interviews etc. Gannon wouldn't stand for fake rules nonsense, that's for sure. Mr Dallas would have got a letter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazs66 Posted January 25, 2015 Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 According to Fifa, Dropped ball Any player may challenge for the ball (including the goalkeeper). There is no minimum or maximum number of players required to contest a dropped ball. The referee cannot decide who may or may not contest a dropped ball. http://www.fifa.com/...ben_neutral.pdf So that clears it up then :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
numpty Posted January 25, 2015 Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 Then it's up to bara to highlight in interviews etc. Gannon wouldn't stand for fake rules nonsense, that's for sure. Mr Dallas would have got a letter Thought he already had a pretty reasonable dig at the ref (not about the drop-ball incident) in his post-match interview, when he explained very carefully how easily confused the words "play" and "goal" can be.

Tweed Posted January 25, 2015 Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 If the referee misheard the shout of the assistant which is possible as the radio wasn't working then awarding the drop ball was correct. However, to not allow us to contest it was just plain bizarre. I've not watched the highlights but it did look like Fojut just pushed McManus out the road at the corner and it was a blatant foul. Not Craig Thomson's finest day. If he replicates the goal/no goal scenario next Sunday, all hell will break loose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milo Posted January 25, 2015 Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 Just watched the bbc highlights. The challenge on Erwin is even more of a penalty than the one on Pearson! Fuck sake!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
numpty Posted January 25, 2015 Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 Is it just me that thinks Erwin will fall down at any opportunity? Seen him drop to ground 4 or 5 times this season. Seems a bit that way sadly, immediate thought when I read he was involved in the penalty shout was "it probably wasn't a penalty then". That said, Dougie Arnott had a bit of a propensity for falling over when he first joined us, and he turned out not so bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daver Posted January 25, 2015 Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 He's already been booked for a blatant dive this season and has gone down rather easily a few times in or around the box, often when the ball is still there to play for. Hes showing a lot of promise but needs to improve on that side of things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
