You cant deny a few players in your team were diving/taking the piss today.

Yes I can because it's not true. Snodgrass yes...but who else are you accusing of cheating...come on name names

I have TWICE.

MAREK TOMANA. Only on the pitch two minutes but managed to get one in

Would this be the incident where he was fouled?

[Hank Scorpio]

His dive was hilarious though. I was actually pointing at him whilst laughing.

[andybino]

I agree the Aitken foul was a booking but after letting your boys away with so many bookable offences, including one guy booting the ball away TWICE then it was really harsh to book Aitken for his first foul of the game!

As for us supposedly having players sent off in the first...dont make me laugh. Snoddy dived once in the box, that was it.... and there were no reckless tackles today.

Fahey made about 5 good saves, 3 from point blank range so he technically did keep you boys in it!

Iv always said he is a good keeper and he proved it again today

The ref did nothing about our "cloggers" because they didn't commit a foul. Pretty simple really.

Considering the standard of officials in this league, that's hardly backing up your argument, is it?

Gavin never claimed it was all Stirling players either

He certainly suggested they did. He made it out as if it was part of our game plan rather than one player who went down easily a few times.

However, five minutes earlier, one of your players deliberately kicked the ball away after we won a free kick. Not only was this 'cheating' (You know, this thing that Rovers players seem to be exempt from), but there was no yellow card.

I never said that Davidson didn't deserve to be booked for that. And for the record, he did.

Tomana trickery does mean he gets booted up and down...he just seems to make the most of it as he is hitting the deck

The ref did nothing about our diving cos they didnt happen.

What an appaling logic mate.

It must have been earlier then, because there was definitely an incident where a Rovers player clearly kicked the ball away and escaped unpunished.

There have already been Stirling Albion fans admitting that Snodgrass dived...

And as for Marvin's assault on Myles...well, for a man of God...let's just say he'll be feeling a trident up has jacksie when he joins the afterlife.

Marvin tried to avoid Myles for fucks sake

[Hank Scorpio]

Exactly, if Marvin wanted to hurt him, do you seriously think that he would have hurdled him?

If you look through my posts you'll find that I have not accused one Stirling player of diving yet.

But Snodgrass did

[miketheheadlesschicken]

I thought Aitken deserved a booking but not in the context of how the referee had officiated the game up until then. Steven Bell was brought down twice beforehand as we were on the break but no bookings were handed out. But that's the consistency that we are used to at this level from referees.

And I counted Davidson kicking the ball away 5 times today. He was warned on his 3rd attempt and booked after his 5th. In fact, He was probably trying to kick the ball away again in the last minute but accidentally hit Snodgrass.

[Robbo]

Tomana dived while waiting to come on

As for Davidson,deserved everything he got.He`s like a petulant schoolboy at times.

Are you talking about the incedent where Davidson kicked the ball away and it came back off the boards. If so, then I agree with you and he did deserve to be booked for that. He was lucky to get away.

I'm sure Davidson kicked the ball away during the warm up.

[RedWeb]

Talking of cheating don't you all agree it was simply outrageous the way Hislop played on when Albion centre half Andy Graham was on the ground counting his teeth....tut tut

Aye, the one where he got booked, Davo was actualy just passing the ball back to the Albion player. I'm sure a few Rovers fan could back me up on this.

This must be the most active thread in the 2nd Division forum all season. every time I refresh the page, theres a new reply.

That is correct.

It was a really outstanding performance from the officials don't we all agree.

[Hank Scorpio]

And its actually reasonable banter. A good debate. Not just namecalling.

It was bad sportsmanship, but isn't it the ref's decision these days?

And what about the complete snap about 3 secons late due to the fact that he played on. Ref ignored it too

Agreed. One of many at San Starko this season
