Motherwell Football Club Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 The most galling thing about it is that it was a fucking ridiculous decision by Forbes to try and snatch the goal, it was going right in. Idiot. Almost as ridiculous as blaming any of our players for being at fault for the decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 If he leaves it, it goes in, no questions asked. It was needless and greedy and ultimately cost us the 3 points, harsh but sadly true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was needless and greedy and ultimately cost us the 3 points, harsh but sadly true. I can't agree with that. For one, he wasn't offside, so why why wouldn't he make sure of the goal? Not his fault the linesman is shite at his job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fat_tony Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 If he leaves it, it goes in, no questions asked. It was needless and greedy and ultimately cost us the 3 points, harsh but sadly true. No chance. He was well onside and did exactly the right thing. Anything could have happened to that ball and from right behind the goals in the Cooper I couldn't say it was definitely going in before Forbes poked it in. He did the right thing and bar a preposterous and completely unpredictable decision by the linesman, it would have been 2-0. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idiot. My fuckin sacks!!! He's looked across the line and knows he's onside, what more does an attacker have to do? Be inside his own half for a corner and run 50 yards to try and get a touch on the cross? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gary_411 Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 It was a beast of a run by Craigan and a decent finish, cant blame forbes for smashing it in either. But for that baldy cnt on the line to disallow it was a farce. It was just too good to be true. Gutted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madwullie Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 Well, I'm not any less raging about it after a good night's sleep. My mate had 15 notes on Motherwell at 8/1 as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yir Elder Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 Technically Neil is correct, so I will defend him to a point! Forbes to be fair may not have been sure if the ball was definitely going in though, it was a shot from Crags remember!! No, the fault lies with the linesman. Now, where's Jim Gannon when you need him...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamwell Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 At the time I was rat arsed but didn't kris boyd dive right before our first legit goal? They then got a free kick, sent it to the top left and missed. Hateley does his shot and shows rangers how it's done Quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was needless and greedy and ultimately cost us the 3 points, harsh but sadly true. While I obviously agree in principle that an attacking midfielder shouldn't follow the ball in at a free kick lest he give the assistant referee an opportunity to flag him offside I feel that the criticism of Forbes is unjustified. There are far greater culprits whose actions could have prevented an offside decision. Craigan had ample opportunity to slice his shot wide - he could, with a bit of thought on his part, just taken a wild swipe and missed it completely. My opinion is that it is Hately's fault on 2 accounts 1. his free kick - he could easily have played it into McGregors hands, into a ruck of players, or to be safe just thumped it high and wide. 2. he scored from the free kick in the first half. surely if Well were not leading 1-0 the linesman might have thought twice about flagging even given the unfortunate onside antics of Craigan and Forbes.

andybug Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 **NO SHOCK TO ANYONE BUT*** If the linesman was John Gilmour , he's from Renfrew and used to get the supporters bus to Ibrox! That's from a Rangers fan at my work from Renfrew who used to get on it with him when they were younger!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Diggle Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 Somebody should write to Hugh Dallas about this! Officials were as bad and as one-sided as I've seen at Fir Park since the bad old days of the 80s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Diggle Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 Rangers boss Walter Smith conceded the goal SHOULD have stood - but shrugged that these decisions even themselves out. He said: "I'm told both of the Motherwell boys were onside, so it was probably a goal. "But not so long ago here, we had a Kris Boyd goal chalked off that should have stood. We ended up drawing that game, so some of them go for you and some go against you. That's the game where he WAS off, the whistle HAD been heard by everyone in the ground and he SHOULD have been booked for kicking the ball away. Hardly a comparison at all ya fud!

Shivute Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 It's alright i've just been told by a rangers fan that the offside decision balances against other decisions in the game because our goal shouldn't have been a free kick and Boyd should have had a penalty.

another number Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 I was given same line from a rangers fan last night! It's poor chat, as I pointed out a penalty isn't a goal anyway it's a chance at goal. Just watched the highlights too and more pissed off now with the decision. Forbes is totally blameless, can only blame the official Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatcalf Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 Saw Sky News this morning, it's turned into fact that our goal was disallowed for a push. As Mr MFC predicted, they'll turn anything round, baistards. Refs and Meedja, bunch of c***s but unfortunately it's only us doing the shouting and we won't be heard above that shower of shite. Oh for someone in a position to make our views heard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milo Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 Awful decision that none of us will forget until the end of time. Same old same old.

MJC_MKI Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 I cant agree, yes they are mince but that decision is unforgiveable and nothing but cheating. Oh don't start going down this road. It was a terrible decision but it wasn't cheating as if it was then we simply wouldn't have got any decisions atall. Referees and linesmen have a split second to make a decision like that and that is when you see a good official, when they can get those calls correct. Unfortunately most match officials in this country are largely useless and incompetent and don't recieve the punishment that they should get for the repeated errors that they make. But cheating? I seriously doubt that they are even competent enough to do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frazzie Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 I actually feel physically sick this morning having saw the 'goal' again. Forbes shouldn't have touched it, but to be fair to him I'd have done the exact same thing, not so much for personal glory but because it was a crowded penalty box and, if I was safe in the knowledge that I was onside as he was, I'd have been making sure it was in the onion bag before anyone got the chance to clear it. I went straight home from the game last night and got to saw Craig Browns reaction to it live, and he is an absolute class act. There is much more at stake for him than me when these decisions go against Motherwell, and I was absolutely irate when I saw it again, but he managed to remain calm, while still pointing out that the big teams get all these decisions, and also saying that if it had stood we'd have gone on to score more. On a more philosophical note, these games are important because, every time the Old Firm and the officials rob us of points against them by blatant cheating, and that's what it was, then it makes it all the sweeter when we beat them next time.
