AndrewK Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 Forbes goal was absolutely top drawer, no question he meant it.O'brien was really unlucky with his effort at the end. Murphy - 10 out of 10 for effort with trying to recreat the hand of god Ruddy - bombscare at that attempted clearance! Deuchar - cheers big man, so glad you're shite! Can only echo that to be honest, sums it up prefectly What a finish from Forbes, keep 'em coming Hollywood comes to Perth indeed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weeyin Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 O'Brien's effort would have been a hell of away to win the game too, but I suppose a draw was fair after Deuchar's miss before that (although Ruddy was a wee bit unlucky with the bounce).

fatcalf Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 The rule was brought in to stop players antagonising opposing fans which is fair enough but the killjoys somehow managed to hijack it and it seems players can't celebrate at all now. Some refs need to grow a set and tell their superiors how it is on the ground, stopping folk from enjoying themselves is not supposed to be their remit.

Ya Bezzer! Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 Can't blame the ref for booking Hutchinson. The law is a stupid one but it is a law. It's down to the authorities to change the law. I actually thought McDonald was lenient on Murphy. Shouldn't deliberately hand ball into the net be a sending off offense? If a defender prevented a goal by deliberate hand ball he'd be sent off without question. As for Forbes. Week 1, goal of the season. You simply will not see a better strike than that.

fatcalf Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 Is it a law though? I understood refs interpretations had more to do with it. I don't know the actual wording so if someone cna provide that we can see if the ref has any leeway at all or if he's just being a jobsworth. Sent off would have been very harsh on Jamie, no such law on that one I'm sure. Suppose I better agree with your last point so you don't think I'm getting at ye Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
numpty Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 LAW 12 – FOULS AND MISCONDUCT LAW 12 – FOULS AND MISCONDUCT Handling the ball Handling the ball involves a deliberate act of a player making contact with the ball with his hand or arm. The referee must take the following into consideration: • the movement of the hand towards the ball (not the ball towards the hand) • the distance between the opponent and the ball (unexpected ball) • the position of the hand does not necessarily mean that there is an infringement • touching the ball with an object held in the hand (clothing, shinguard etc.) counts as an infringement • hitting the ball with a thrown object (boot, shinguard etc.) counts as an infringement Disciplinary sanctions There are circumstances when a caution for unsporting behaviour is required when a player deliberately handles the ball, e.g. when a player: • deliberately and blatantly handles the ball to prevent an opponent gaining possession • attempts to score a goal by deliberately handling the ball A player is sent off, however, if he prevents a goal or an obvious goal-scoring opportunity by deliberately handling the ball. This punishment arises not from the act of the player deliberately handling the ball but from the unacceptable and unfair intervention that prevented a goal being scored.

jonnymfc Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 Why does the club not let us know the games on Alba, as i would have watched it, thus boosting ratings? Pathetic missing a free game on the telly. I mean we got a club e-mail last week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

postiejim Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 I'm not being overly critical here but i noticed watching the game again that a poor pass out of defence by O'Brien led up to the first saints goal, and Murphy with plenty time to get the ball out the box hit it straight to the St Johnstone player and that was number two. And finally I know Ruddy didn't have a good game on Saturday and a few have mentioned his fiasco at the edge of the box when only bad finishing by Deuchars let us of the hook ,but it all came about by Hutch trying and failing to dribble past there player. Slack play loses games, keep it tight Motherwell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some refs need to grow a set and tell their superiors how it is on the ground, stopping folk from enjoying themselves is not supposed to be their remit. Yes they can. They just have to not jump into the crowd when celebrating! I have no idea how you can say that it seems like players aren't allowed to celebrate their goals.

Juan Kerse Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 SPL highlights on Sky Sports there, just half an hours worth. Been toying with getting ESPN for a couple of hours now but refusing to untill they put SPL highlights on. I actually liked the exposure we got on Setanta, Inside the SPL on a Friday before you went out was a decent way to spend an hour I thought, as was the full SPL. ESPN seem to be doing the bare minimum and charging us the same. No Old Firm games and a chance we wont see the 'Well on it at all as they only have 30 games. It is getting dingied.

You can get them on the net anyway so don't get ESPN and still watch the games if you wish. ATDHE.net never fails when the games are on the box.

Stu Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 It was a half hour programme on Sky. We got about three minutes worth probably. Showed the four goals, Deuchar's blaze over the bar and O'Brien's shot off the post, if I recall correctly. Was decent enough. No analysis or managerial interviews. Better than nothing, I suppose.
