roman_bairn Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 Astonishing how Dunfermline supporters are defending M’voto despite being the length of the stadium away.Can’t say for certain that it was intentional but that’s certainly the way it looked at the time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t say for certain And it's astonishing that Falkirk fans are making out he went to end the blokes season even though you said this. Neither set of fans can say for certain, however from where I was it didn't look that bad, Nelson was caught underneath the ball while M'voto had a run up that allowed him to get momentum. You'd be dissapointed if your centre back doesn't win that. How much does the reaction of the fans around you influence your thoughts on the matter? From where I was no one was particularly perturbed and no one seemed to anticipate a red. Meanwhile I'd imagine in the Falkirk end, desperate to get back into the game and trying o grasp onto any chance to gain an advantage and shouting for everything. If the roles were reversed then both set of fans would be the same. Surprised Falkirk fans are that annoyed about him being out for the season though, he's absolutely shiiiiite. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think most of us think he’s an improving prospect that we’d like to keep irrespective of his performance on Saturday.Not about to debate whether it was intentional or not as you are correct I cannot be certain but I was a lot closer than you.Can’t help but wonder if Robson’s response on Twitter is because the player thought the same way especially after discussing with his mate. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Intent means nowt these days. Any challengd that is carried out with excessive force and endangers the opponent is now deemed a red card offence. I think as you can see from the pics mvotos ridiculously clumsy at best challenge meets both those criteria and he shouldve walked. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Back Post Misses Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 No chance that was deliberate. He was clearly going for aggressive but to say he was trying to hurt Nelson is nonsense.

The ramblings of a troll or an idiot. Yer man was sent on to do a job on Nelson, which he did. Notice we’ve not ran to the papers or sent video evidence to the SFA. Had that been Taiwo on Higginbotham, we would still be talking about it next season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.A.F.C Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 Sent on to do a job on him? What the actual... MVoto got booked earlier in the season, I think it was St Mirren at home, because guys were bouncing off him. Two guys took a run at him with elbows and still he won the ball every time. If anything he gets punished for being so big, he stands his ground and when people try to challenge him they get knocked over. He was on the ground injured also, pretty risky to try and injure someone with your own head don't you think? The only guy fouling was your forward who threw his toys out the pram when he found out he couldn't con the ref when he tried to bully Morris and got his totties. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paranoia is strong here, if we've secured a playoff spot we'd obviously put a weakened side out. Lol, he was absolutely anonymous. It was just unfortunate that the first time he escaped the back pocket of Morris he then challenged for a high ball with M'voto. Never thought there was any danger of a red tbh. You agree with me, good. You must be paranoid too then. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

60`s bairn Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 He was certainly late with the challenge and never got anywhere near the ball. Whether he deliberately tried to butt Nelson or just couldn`t avoid the challenge at that point is the question. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye but by the current guidelines he shouldve been sent off whether he meant to foul nelson or not. The ref on saturday though has simply encouraged the clumsy oaf to keep challenging like that and badly injuring more opponents. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salvo Montalbano Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 Already it's been changed from a flying elbow to a deliberate headbutt. Still photos are hard to judge but it looks like they both jump at about the same time (possibly M'voto slightly earlier since Nelson's foot is still flat on the grass) and unfortunately the differing angles mean that M'voto gets the side of Nelson's head rather than the forehead if they were jumping more face to face. As said above though, it's difficult without a video replay. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
